Comments Thread For: Hearn on WBC Orders: It's the Business of Boxing That Has to Allow the Fights to Happen

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Exactly, he also lobbied for Bivol-Buatsi instead of Bivol-Zurdo, but was denied. While we all knew that Bivol-Zurdo was the bigger fight to make, he selfishly wanted the Buatsi fight because he promotes both fighters, and he would get paid from both sides.

Promoters will step on or over anyone to line their own pockets. A mass murderer would have more credibility preaching about morality than a boxing promoter.

He's calling out all the promoters for not making the fights except himself. If one of his fighters get matched against anyone, he won't allow it unless its on DAZN or they pay him a ridiculous amount to get out of the way. Also, I don't even understand why he says that Wilder and Ruiz won't happen, they fight on the same networks.

He’s the one promoter that never collaborates too.

We’ve seen Al and Bob work together for May-Pac, the Fury Wilder trilogy, Crawford-Porter.

We’re hopefully gonna see Al and Oscar work together to make Tank-Garcia.

When has Eddie ever collaborated with a rival to make a big fight?

It’s time to put the business out of business

Sounds good. Now let's talk reality.

If ESPN and/or Showtime and/or Fox are involved, money has to make sense.

If you're just on an app, you have to somehow convince mainstream to do it.

Every app has failed to do this, because regular TV is king. But regular TV doesn't make serious money.

Thus PPV.

This isn't just boxing. Even WWE is making table scraps compared to what they used to, because they devalued their product.

HBO got out before it got worse, but let's be honest: they were giving the best.

I believe that he's collaborating with Warren on the Ryder-Parker fight, but Ryder is one of his lesser fighters at 31-5. Also, its still self serving because he's hoping for a Ryder win, which I don't think will happen, so that he can push Canelo to fight him next instead of a Benavidez if he beats Plant, so that he gets paid from both Cinnabon and Ryder.

Diminished Matchroom bro all for another body ordering Usyk-Hrgovic - which no one wants to see. But has a hot take on everything that his more politically smart competitors are doing

Is he really calling anyone out or is he just stating the fact that fights being ordered doesn't necessarily mean they will actually happen because it has to make sense business wise?

[Rebelrbg]

But he's mentioning the fights of all these promoters that he doesn't think will happen except his own. He is one of the reasons why the business doesn't happen or make sense as well, not just everyone else.

The WBC remains the best sanctioning body. Still deeply flawed, obviously, but it is the best.

It’s not even a co-promotion. It’s being solely promoted by Frank Warren.
