Comments Thread For: Hearn Reacts To Nate Diaz Threat: Please Don't Choke Me Out

Most obnoxious loudmouth in sport. Has a hot take on everything that happens, everywhere

I disagree. Nate Diaz is a decent guy.

Hearn is a promoter. He promotes himself and his fighters. The reason why his quotes are written up as articles on here is because it entertains or provokes readers. The reason he's continually interviewed is because he is a good interview - he will reliably say something controversial or topical. Imagine if when asked about the Paul/Diaz fight he responded by saying "No comment, that's none of my business". How many more times would he be asked on their shows?

Arum used to be this way but now he is in his dotage his answers are more circumspect and more like soundbites.

If every promoter was reclusive like Al Haymon then boxing would be very different and so would boxing websites.

Your correct. And Nate Diaz is playing the same game. I'm no MMA fan. But even I know who Diaz is, and how his mouth works, and he is also controversial and self promoting. That's how the game works. But the Hearn haters just can't help themselves, coming on here to give him a hard time, thinking their really hitting a nerve. LOL. Reality is Hearn doesn't give a ***. And the haters are showing in predictable fashion, that their iq's are as low quality as Nate's boxing ability

Hearn isnt wrong tbh. It was an absolute **** show as expected. Only thing that surprised me is Nate going the distance considering how slow, old and hittable he is.

His grappling game is top level tho.

It is once things go to the ground but his ability (or even desire) to actually take it there in the first place is not. Hes a weird fighter. Barely kicks as well. I could definitely see why Jake might consider risking an MMA fight with him at this stage.
