    That would be a much better fight for Yarde ... He'll never be the same after getting destroyed by Beterbiev ...

      Unless it's AJ or Canelo Hearn doesn't care lmao that's why Haney and Andrade left him. It's the same reason instead of fighting Leo Santa Cruz Leigh Wood ducked him to fight Lara so Eddie could keep it all in house because he knows Wood has a papier mache chin that will be cracked permanently sooner than later.

        Damn Eddie, he really struggling with these Purse Bids lately, either he is Postponing them, Losing them or avoiding them all together

        I think they just make Buatsi go a different Route maybe? Also WBA #2 and WBC and WBO #3 so he doesn't really have to go the IBF Route. Buatsi vs Callum, Buatsi vs Azeez I would think are bigger fights in the UK

          A few years back when Hearn’s company took off after Joshua won his belts I took some heat from a lot of posters.

          In the early days of negotiations between Wilder & Joshua I said Hearn would be the reason it didn’t happen. All the Hearn groupies had the “Earn with Hearn” modo in overdrive. I said his constant social media outbursts about what happened behind close doors would bite him in the arse. Did Fred & Barney go home & discuss with Wilma & Betty what was said at the Water Buffalo meetings? NO they did not.

          Another thing I pointed out was his childish name calling & public bashing of other promoters & managers. Shelly Finkel has managed Mike Tyson & The Klitschko brothers. He has been managing Wilder for years. With his resume of HWs he has managed you would think Eddy would treat him with the utmost respect but instead continually referred to him as “Shirley” during live interviews. To me Hearn seems like a difficult guy to deal with & all the long time promoters knew Hearn was like milk & had a shelf life. Without Joshua & Canelo he would have no stroke as his roster is thinning out the last few years…

          It really comes as no surprise to me seeing his inability to land the big fight for several of his former clients & watching him lose purse bids on several key matchups involving his fighters or potential clients.

          Hearn had a great run overseas but now he is in a tough position & his 3 biggest fighters are coming off tough losses. Frank Warren is the man in UK now… Fury WBC champion going for undisputed. Dubois & Joyce in mandatory positions… How the landscape has changed in the UK.

            I can guarantee you that the decision makers at Dazn wishes they would have made Joe Markowski the front man instead of that idiot Hearn.

              Wow. Okay. I can deal with it. It seems the problem here is you cannot handle other peoples opinion, hence the meltdown you had.

              very strange attitude too. You sound like my Daughter when she’s sulking. She’s 6 years old btw.

              Any post with a like from greeneye is always worth a giggle.

                  Wouldn't be surprised at all if Jean pulled off an upset.
                  He seems to spoil all party’s lol

                    Let’s see what Pascal has left in the tank
                    But honestly I don’t favour him at all in this fight
                    I think he gets picked apart , won’t be that easy to steal rounds off Buatsi from what I’ve seen of him

                      basically unknown guy like Buatsi getting an eliminator fight in UK and paid 585 K is not a bad deal for Matchroom
