Comments Thread For: Ellerbe Blasts Hearn: He's F----- Off Over Billion Dollars & Has No Stars In US

[P to the J]

PBC has the top Welterweights, and top Junior Middleweights without question. I didn't even include lightweights or SuperMiddles. WE JUST HAD A 4 BELT UNIFICATION ON SHOWTIME FOR FREE. AND IT WAS A WONDERFUL ACTION PACK FIGHT. SO I'M NOT SO SURE ABOUT YOUR ASSESSMENT.

I WILL SAY GOLDEN BOY PROTECTS THEIR FIGHTERS TO THE POINT WHERE THEY WON'T LET THEM FIGHT ANYONE FROM OTHER PROMOTIONAL OUTFITS. THEY ROBBED MUNGUIA OF PAYDAY WITH CHARLO AT THE VERY LAST MINUTE. THEY WON'T LET ORTIZ FIGHT ANY OF THE TOP RANK OR PBC WELTERWEIGHTS. I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT GOLDEN BOY, BUT YOU'RE DEAD WRONG ON THE PBC. THEY HAVE MORE HGHLY RATED FIGHTERS THAN TOP RANK OR MATCHROOM OR GOLDEN BOY.

Oh, tbf, I was specifically referring to Mayweather Promotions', not necessarily PBC overall, and Golden Boy's business models. But hey ho, that model works for them, and it works for a lot of the causal fan market, or maybe just hardcore boxing fans like yourself who are fans of those particular fighters. So if all parties are happy, who am I to complain?

I know PBC have had a habit of slow progress with their fighters, but yeah, that unification is an exception to that, and I hope they continue the free offerings, but I was literally just referring to Ellerbe and MP; are they actually subsidiary to PBC or just partnered with?

I don't think any promotional company gets off lightly, for sure.

Last I checked Canelo was Mexican. He signed with Dazn for 3 fights for LESS money than PBC was offering because he thought it was the path of least resistance. He thought he was going to beat Bivol then beat Golovkin in the Fall. Those are the facts. CANELO DID NOT TAKE THE LARGER OFFER FROM PBC BECUASE HE WAS SCARED TO FIGHT BENAVIDEZ AND CHARLO which equal more money by MUCH HARDER CHELLENGES.

The reports have already been confirmed by Boxing Scene and Fighthype.

Those are the facts. Do your research.

AND YES AS MUCH AS SOME DON'T AGREE WHILE I LOVE HANEY AS A FIGHTER HE HAS NOT ACHIEVED PPV STATUS WHERAS TANK HAS.

NOW ONCE HANEY BEATS KAMBOSOS @SS THEN WE HAVE A PPV FIGHT. AFTER HE BEAT KAMBOSOS TWICE, TANK AND HANEY SHOULD ABSOLUTELY FIGHT.

WHO IN THE WORLD THINK CRUZ BEAT DAVIS = NO ONE. WTF I haven't seen ONE boxing site or boxing commentator say or display a card that said CRUZ won the fight. Sorry your boy Cruz got beat. But he lost so deal with it.

Whoa, you like your capital letters, and I fully support this

Queensbury is slaughtering Slaveroom lately, it’s not even close

Lol I don't think so. They got the Fury fight, that's it. Which in all honesty was probably bankrolled by Top Rank, with Warren being put up front for some credit to try and raise his relevancy. Warren's stable has been decimated. Most of his best fighters buggered off to Probellum. He can't compete with Matchroom in the long run, and he'll not be able to compete with Boxxer soon also. But he won't go away. I'll give him that.

[BoxingIsGreat]

I give less than zero about any of those fights you just mentioned.

Same here.

[champion4ever]

Isn't he not telling the truth though? How many stars have Matchroom made stateside on DAZN? They have lost Devin Haney to Top Rank, They had to release Demetrius Andrade; An undefeated African fighter because they didn't know how to promote him properly.

Now they have set Canelo Alvarez up to fail against a hand picked opponent in Dmitry Bivol by giving him his second lost.. Chances are Team Canelo never studied any tape or film of the guy. All they knew that he was another one Of Eddie Hearn's Euro bums.

Oscar De La Hoya has practically said the same things as Ellerbe about Edidie Hearn? All Eddie has done since working with Canelo is feed him nothing but Euro and Caucasian bums.

Would you suddenly become a tank fan then?

I don't dislike him. I've continually stated in threads that he is a great talent, and given him credit for that, albeit that his level of competition could be better. But in answer to your question, no I wouldn't suddenly become a fan of his. As talented as he is, stylistically he's not my cup of tea. Although I'm always there to be won over. And I'm more of a Devin Haney fan. Even with him changing to Top Rank. Because if you like a fighter, it shouldn't matter who promotes them. And similarly, if your not a fan of a fighter, then a promotion change shouldn't affect that either. What I will appreciate though, is Davis going somewhere that will give him the fights that matter, ( I don't care where ), or that his current promoters give him the fights he desires, and we the fans also desire. The division, and boxing deserves that. And Tank of course.

Fair enough. Good post.
I'd rather he stays where he is.

I know you are a big Josh Taylor fan. That guy's ugly style is far from my cup of tea as well. Low skill, no special effects. Haney doesn't have any special effects either. Davis is a must watch to real boxing fans. No disrespect to you of course.

That's why Hearn is chasing him. Davis is all special effects, every punch counts.

Tens of millions of dollars were spent by DAZN trying to build Andrade and Haney and they have nothing to show for it. Both are leaving Hearn.

Hundreds of millions of dollars were spent by DAZN trying to build to Canelo vs GGG and it still hasn't happened and now Canelo has lost decisively.

Hundreds of millions of dollars were spent by DAZN trying to turn Anthony Joshua into a worldwide attraction, but he keeps losing and he won't let DAZN show his fights in the UK.

That's too bad because I want boxing on any venue to succeed when it comes down to it. Davis can attract a big African American base and more subscriptions for them in the US. Hearn should put his coin where his mouth is first, and let's see.
