    Biggest fall from grace in Boxing I've ever seen.

    Edward John Hearn has experienced one of the biggest falls from grace I've seen in sports. He's gone from being a extremely popular promoter here in the UK, with the exception of some Fury fans, to an outright laughing stock and his name/brand has been forever tarnished, all due to how badly he's mishandled the Benn scandal. I was a big fan of his prior to this especially when he was going at it with Shelly Finkel in the AJ - Wilder negotiations, now I can't help but feel like he duped me there too.

      May the ghost of Patrick Day haunt Hearn for deliberately trying to put another fighters life @ risk by letting a juiced Benn fight after testing positive the first time

        Sorry but I had to laugh it this. Hearn is just as much a greedy scumbag as any other promoter. Why it takes something like this to get posters to admit it is kinda funny.

          He’s hung himself with a rope tied up by his own lies. I saw through Hearn years ago. I’m honestly surprised it’s taken this long- have to give Hearn some credit in that regard, he conned the feeble minded for years.

            He had a much more loyal fanbase though. I’ve never seen a promoter develop that sort of cult following. He could honestly do no wrong in a lot of their eyes. This Benn fiasco seems to have finally opened a lot of their eyes though.

                He is no different than any top promoter. They are only faithful to money and shamelessly will say anything.

                They have the slick tongue and now how to deliver the lies.

                Unfortunately promoters is a necessary evil.

                    It has hurt his credibility, but tbh the biggest problem is that him leaving Sky was ******, and his stable has gotten weaker in recent years. It was because of those reasons that he went to such lengths to defend Benn. A limited prospect trading on his dad's name wouldn't have been as important to him back when undefeated AJ was doing big numbers, or when he was boasting about his '$1B war chest to take over America', but things change and now he needs all the attractions he can get.
