He should regret doing this interview as he comes across like a lying conman yet again.

That’s my assessment as well. Just looks like a very blunt case is save-assing after the fact. Hearn has come apart at the seams lately. It’s just not looking on the up and up for him

Young Eddie regrets showing his conman colours

The "correct thing to do" would have been to all concerned parties know about the first failed test!

Not only did it look like he was promoting a drug cheat, his former fighter, Devin Haney, goes onto become "Undisputed" without him, and Joshua is a "Hot Mess!' Where would he be without Canelo? He's under a lot of pressure! If he can't get Bivol a fight with Beterbiev, I think MatchRoom may fold!

Boo Hoo Eddie
We always said you talked to much
Now , would you like some pepper with your foot , azzhole

Hearn is his own worst PR disaster.
It seems that his mouth is totally detached from his brain if there's any at all.

This fckr was going to continue with the fight and also try to hold it in a different jurisdiction and so there's that. Scoundrel

He's not doing as well as he was now. But posters on here don't want to acknowledge how well he was doing 2/3 years ago. What are your sources for "Matchroom may fold"? I should think Hearn would prefer to make Canelo-Bivol rematch and get some money in before making the more dangerous Beterbiev fight.

Boxing in general is in a mess imo - look at the schedule tab - dunno about you but until March 25th on the NSB 'Schedule' tab - the only fight that really whets my appetite is Beterbiev-Yarde - that's 2 and a half months of boxing and nada
