Comments Thread For: Arum: 'In the United States, Eddie Hearn is Considered a Joke'

[Oldskoolg]

As far as I can tell, it's mostly down to Americans having a poor sense of humour. They'll need to learn to find one when China replaces the US as the global hegemon.

Son, do you think England benefits from a China stronger than the USA? Put away your intense little man syndrome concerning the usa and wake up and smell what you’re shovelling

Bob is absolutely right! And with cash cow AJ having lost twice in a row Matchroom and DAZN are on the losing track even in UK……

The only one of those biggest selling fights that didn't involve Floyd Mayweather is Wilder vs Fury. And Wilder himself admitted that he was offered more money to fight AJ than he got for fighting Fury.

They actually offered AJ 50 million to fight Wilder, but Joshua and Hearn wanted no parts of that type of problem. Those fights that involved Floyd were made by Mayweather Promotions, Golden Boy, and Top Rank, with no Eddie involvement. Also whether Hearn tried to backdoor the deal at the last minute to deny Arum of the fight doesn't matter. Top Rank and PBC made Fury-Wilder happen, after Hearn had already turned it down. So, no one needs Mouth Almighty for the big fights to happen.

Lol, yeah sure, nobody needs Hearn or any other promoter to make a big fight happen. All you need is a fighter going on social media saying - "I'll give you fiddy million dollars. Take it or leave it. you have 24 hours"

All I learned from these comments is that Americans don'tlike outsiders coming on to their patch. Funny that, because I've only ever read that the US has been built off the backs of waves of immigration and not to mention the slave trade. Irish, Italian, Germans, Poles, Japanese and Latins.
But get one smarmy tall Brit into the mix and somehow he has messed up American boxing - like all the best fights are being made anyway without Hearn. Stevenson-Kovalev, Manny-Floyd - 2009/10, Crawford-Spence, Charlo-Andrade,

America is a messed up place now, but I don't see what you're bragging about. Those suave lords and ladies in England rioted because Hagler beat Minter, and they abused the Mexicans in Leeds before "Homey" Josh turned billygoat. If I was looking for civility, I'd go to Japan.

hearn is a suave smart clever likeable funny businessman, his son is a twat tho

[Corelone]

Honestly though. Civility doesn't beat large breasts and plump tales. I never dreamed of mammary glands like I did when I was in Japan.

I'm no Hearn fan, but if you ask any of the 99% of low IQ Hearn haters why they actually hate him, not one can give a truly credible explanation, which become even less credible when Hearn is compared against industry ****roaches like Don King and now Arum and Haymon. The hatred is mostly just jealousy and partly the hilarious belief that USA still has the monopoly on boxing. Pensioner Arum and Clown Haymon are now little more than jealous voyeurs on the decline but still conspire to freeze out any fights they cant call the shots on or might actually have to share the purse on. Ill take Hearn over the ****roaches any day. And hes still just a kid by comparison, wait till he's got 20 years more experience and connections.

Absolutely without a doubt

I am no fan of any promoter, but Arum is death to boxing. He has prevented more great fights than Don King promoted. If him and Eddie were both cast far and wide boxing would be better.
