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

[TMLT87]

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.

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

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

I disagree. Nate Diaz is a decent guy.

I actually prefer Hearn to Sean Gibbons. That guy is scum. But otherwise, yeah, you're spot on.

-edit- aside from the obnoxious dads, like Lopez Sr, etc.

Nate is tough as they come but a British level super middleweight/light heavy would smash his face in under boxing rules.. he can't even turn his punches over but hearn has always gotta stick his two pence in

Lmao Eddie is hilarious, I like Nate but cant box worth a damn. His grappling game is top level tho.

[Get em up]

Love him or hate him Eddie Hearn knows how to stay in the spotlight and that helps him actually promote fights. Which is in a literal sense his job. I would like to see Nasty Nate choke him out though LMAO

[factsarenice]

Don't like him but he's not wrong.
