Promotors doing promoters thing

Is quite sad to be bobs age and still gagging for more money . He will never spend what he has now

Both Hearns and Arum's shows have been straight ass and both could learn a lot from Haymon. Just be quiet and do your job imbeciles.

Rant aside, I didn't realize that Taylor/Lopez was taking place in the Hulu Theater. Teofimo fought Sandor Martin in MSG's big room, and Taylor is a more notable opponent than Martin. Is Teofimo not the draw that he thinks he is? Or does TR not want to invest more money into him?

He’s not a draw. He’s Latino but he’s not Mexican or Puerto Rican. He’s from Honduras which doesn’t have much of a fan base compared to other nationalities.

Top rank hasn't really been promoting really big box office fights lately. I think Fury-Wilder trilogy were their biggest success over the past five to ten years

But great credit to Bob, he's promoted some of the greatest fights ever, of course Hagler-Hearns was unforgettable, among a number of other great fights.

What in the hell possessed TR to put Teo/Martin in the big room then? That was setting him up for failure. Teo/Taylor actually has the potential to be entertaining, and it's a meaningful fight. That's the big room fight, but then TR would actually have to invest in building a solid under-card. The co-main is an absolute throwaway (Zayas vs. Ronald Cruz).

Eddie Hearn hasn't done **** in America other than Steal Golden Boys Super Star Canelo.

They haven't created any American Super Stars. Even De La Hoya put up Garcia Vs Davis which was much Bigger than Bivol vs Canelo or Canelo vs Ryder.

Eddy talks a lot of **** for somebody who threw billions down the drain talking like he’s the man never seen somebody so far up their own ass and i kind of like Eddie. All these promoters are haters/bitter mofos why the fights why want don’t get made most the time need to get their egos in check.
