Comments Thread For: Hearn on Okolie Contract Dispute: I Felt Disrespected; Feel Like We Did a Great Job

Interesting how Okolie mentions Hearn running off to Dazn because they made a big offer when that's exactly what he wants to do himself.

People will obviously be tempted by nice offers but at the end of the day a contract is a contract. We'll see how this plays out.

Yep. That was what snagged my attention as well!!



Honestly, in every sport contract negotiations bring out the pitch-forks from both sides. I do not think this is beyond repair. CW is a division waiting for a star. Let's see how this works itself out.

Okolie doesn’t have another fight with matchroom on contract there was an option for one more fight on his end and boxxerr thought his contract was done and made him an offer. Okolie told Eddie “hey Ben offered me this I’ll stay with matchroom if ur willing to match it”. Eddie was incensed and considered this “contract tampering” and now claims okolie owes him the last fight that was his own option to begin with. The issue before the court is if they will consider that contract tampering

Eddie needs to come clean on this one, Lawrence has a terrible unfriendly style and just wasn't worth the money. I actually don't blame Eddie dumping boxers who costt you money. You just need to be more honest about it Eddie.

The most disrespectful liar in boxing complains he doesn't lie & feels disrespected.

Laughable.

Okolie though, i can't even watch him he's so bad, Eddie did a good job there.
