    All the major promoters are garbage...
    ​​​​petty schoolgirls throwing barbs at each other In the press and only making mostly In-house fights.

    The sport and the (real) fans deserve better.

      I think Eddie is a very good promoter, and he really literally promotes a lot.

      Bob also has some point, Eddie likes to talk about other people's business lol.

        Arum is like 100 years old. What ambition are you going to have at that age? I’m surprised he hasn’t retired and let someone else takeover.

          Literally all promoters do that lol. Every top promoter has a bunch of interviews talking sh/t about other promoters, events and fighters.

            Hearn is right. Top rank has done a few ok cards though but ratings could be higher

TR is loaded with talent: Fury, Lomachenko, Stevenson, Haney, Teofimo Lopez, Navarrette, Zayas, Shu-Shu Carrington, Jared Anderson, Keyshawn Davis, Berlanga, etc., but they don't always make the best match ups!
              Can’t forget the Haney fights, they did big business in Australia. Wernt both of those on ESPN? Had Hearn had both fighters he would have done the same.

                Hearn acting like he made those fights.
                Canelo made the fight. It depended on who Canelo wanted to fight.
                Same with Usyk vs AJ.

                  Haney vs. Kambo was trash, especially the rematch! No one wanted to see that rematch! There was zero hype for that, but I guess it did well in Australia? Just the fact that's all you could come up with means Hearn has a point! 2022 was not really good in 2022! The biggest stories were Crawford leaving, and the rise of Shakur! Hopefully Shakur, Xander Zayas, and Jared Anderson, take big steps in 2023! I also like Muratalla! That's a BIG LW!

                    Hearn is right for a change. Top Wank (LMAO!!) and PBS are largely responsible for Matchroom and DAZN struggling to break the US market because Arum and Haymon have done everything possible to freeze Matchroom out and censor them in the US. Theyre like a pair of Special Needs children that haven't learned to share! Even Fury has abandoned his Gawd Bless Americurrr crooning because he's woken up to the financial reality of selling out a 90,000 seater stadium in UK or arab-ville rather than fighting protected frauds in school gym sized arenas for peanuts purses.

                      Top rank took haney to the undisputed LW title. Haney had to LEAVE MATCHROOM to have this happen. Tyson fury vs usyk coming up but boxing in general has been wholly unimpressive
