Comments Thread For: Warren on Hearn, Matchroom: 'All I Keep Seeing Is Fighters Are Leaving Them'

[ShoulderRoll]

Warren had his ass saved by becoming a sham promoter for Bob Arum.

Hearn is Bob Arum's enemy and Arum wants to hurt his business.

That's the difference.

Promoter rivalry nothing new there but what ever you say about Ole Cod eye's he's in charge of the main division , the heavies!

Queensbury without Fury would have been in administration by now, talk bwt **** shows.. Fury Chisora 3 whole card belonged on ch.5. Absolutely atrocious. As was the Fury vs Whyte undercard. Hearns going through a bad patch... Boxxer seems to be making moves up the ladder... Fish eyes needs to stfu and make fights for his fighters that people want to see... not line them up against bum after bum and then Boom they magically become No.1 with wbo and get called mandatory..

Does this mean there will be no “American takeover”???

[dannnnn]

Those hoping for Warren to win this war obviously haven't been following boxing long enough to know that it's not in your best interest as a fan. Regardless of what you might think of him personally, the Hearn/Matchroom resurgence was one of the best things to happen to British boxing in decades.

Bob don't give a damn about Eddie. He has no American fighters to even rival Bob.

Honestly, British boxing is a mess right now. Tons of platforms, very few cooperation and everyone making mediocre fights against over-matched opponents. None of the promoters there are succeeding at the moment imo and it's disgusting in 2023 that Matchroom are the only cards consistently available in the US. I hope a couple more of these outfits go under or merge with another stable. SKY, BT and DAZN is probably the maximum amount of outfits the UK can handle and have decent matchups without guys fighting across platforms. I'm not optimistic about the state of British boxing going forward. It really was better off when it was just Hearn vs Warren and Sky vs BT, now the product has become too watered down.

"and it's disgusting in 2023 that matchroom are the only cards consistently available in the US"......WTF!!!! There are no MR cards on the schedule in the US in 2023. There aren't even any GBP cards on the schedule in the US. DAZN is done in the US. They probably have one more midget fight left and that's it. MR only has 2 or 3 obscure American fighters on their roster. Of Golden boy's only two known fighters, Ryan is fighting on Showtime and Virgil will be fighting a PBC guy hopefully on DAZN. At the end of summer 2023 Oscar will be taking his roster to Showtime, bank on it!!

Yes. Competing promoters/platforms not wanting to work with each other is the bane of the sport... and it only seems to be getting worse, in both the US and the UK. I fear the sport will become ever more marginalised.
