Comments Thread For: Hearn: Fury Knows How Much Bigger He'd Be If I Was Promoting Him

[RoadMan94]

I remember their was a lot of buzz for Daniel Dubois and some for old slow Joe Joyce, I think that the global locked down due to COVID-19 hurt their profiles. All though Joe Joyce and Daniel Dubois had just past the margin of contender status, the fact that we in America got to stream their fight on ESPN+ suggest they were known. I wish the UK did a better job at publishing their viewership numbers like we do in America, that would give us a clearer picture for public interest.

You can say that Matchroom or Eddie Hearn deserved credit for obtaining the massive platform in SKYSPORTS for : A.J, Whyte and Chisora, and no doubt it helped his campaign at promoting them, but will his new deal with DAZN do the opposite?

I think more and more Brits especially will leave Eddie and remain on sky sports, mainly because of the points you’ve made already. How Eddie can convince his fans he loses bids on purpose is beyond me, considering Hearn has almost no content for DAZN. Compare GBP and they’ve been much more stable with DAZN. Eddie has basically “hosted” Canelo fights and teo vs George.

Also, love the new picture of Edwards. Very creative.

Joe the 'Bronze-Bum' sucks, I stopped supporting him a long time ago. Speaking of underserving opportunities, I bet Chisora probably gets brutally KO one more time by Deontay just before retiring.

After he lost a couple times you stopped supporting him? Hahaha! I never stopped supporting my favourites when they lost. Lennox Lewis, Francois Botha, Andrew Golota & James Toney were my favourites in the 90s. Neven Pajkic was my favourite fighter in the 2000s until he retired. I was always a Tye Fields (Fought out my city for a few years) supporter & a Monte Barrett fan. Currently my favourite HWs would be Fury, Duhaupas & Chisora. I don’t bandwagon jump like the majority of posters here. It is pathetic the “he losses twice” he is a bum attitude. Joshua & Wilder so called fans jumping off the wagon after a couple losses. It is those posters that like to throw the word bum & casual around a lot. My favourite is the posters here that like to bash the 90s HWs or compare today’s era with past eras & who were not even old enough to watch those fights live. The guys who bash Wilder’s resume but think Vitali is hall of fame worthy… I’m disappointed you turned on Wilder. I just thought you were a heavy supporter. I didn’t realize you were a bandwagon jumper… I’m disapponted…

Can Joshua please fight someone who can punch like Wilder so we can be done with AJ once and for all? Another boring fight with Usyk will be two guys dancing around each other. I can’t think of any heavyweight who has been promoted more with so few skills like Joshua. Really a classic case of marketing to study in the UK and Europe. In the U.S., we all know what a fraud Joshua is.

A lot of people getting worked up over if Fury would or wouldn't be bigger with Hearn. Who gives a shlt? Hearn's just trolling here.

The best thing for boxing would be for promoters to stop having exclusive deals anyway. Promoters should be there to promote fights, rather than fighters.

Well played young Edward. That is some next level trolling!

Fast Eddie sticks it to Fisheyes while big upping himself and calling out the Furys.

Hearn the younger has an all world sense of humour!

Deontay's failure to beat the 'Gypsy-Bum' was not what ended my support, it was the fact that he betrayed the fans by congratulating a cheat only to appease the public. Deontay Wilder should of upheld what he believed regardless of what people thought about his views, thats the short version. I have a history of supporting my favorite boxers after multiple loses so your assumption is way off.

I have watched people distance themselves from Joshua on this forum, no need to point them out. I would not say Joshua's persona is not fake, but he is awfully restrained 'Of late he has been coming out of that restraint, and I sense people do not like it'.

In his latest interview he was going on about, keeping things to yourself 'Because people don't really care'.

He has clearly been upset by the fans that have turned on him. That is why I think all these fighters who say things like 'I do this for the fans, I just want to entertain'.

They all need to check themselves, because 90% of boxing fans do not care about you. All these people that sing that Neil Diamond song, as you have stated 'They have no real deep rapport'.

I am aware of the demographic which supports Tyson Fury. Although may I just add, I am actually backing Fury vs Whyte. But I would not class myself as a hardcore Fury fan, I am neutral with most fighters these days. Since the retirement of David Haye, I have honestly not really built a rapport with any other fighter.

Joshua's fans have turned on him, because he has not provided them with what they want. And he has shown signs of stepping out of line.

Beautiful comment.

He wasn’t supposed to win ,had two close Whyte fights and sparked out Takam in a very entertaining fight . Add the 2 Parker fights and anyone new to boxing those fights reel them in .

The 2 Chisora - Parker fights will reel new fans in? Are you being serious? Surely you are having a laugh.

People have fallen out with Joshua because he's a loser, and people like winners, like Tyson Fury.

It's as simple as that.

You are describing the loser, the people that have fallen out with Joshua 'They are the losers'.

Glory Hunters are losers.

If you support somebody, you support them win or lose. That is all apart of the journey.

People have come and gone in Tyson Fury's career also, and they will come and go again in the future.
