Eddie's BS called out by the Saudis

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

I never revelled in Fury vs Usyk falling apart, you lying cunt.

And who else but Eddie has ever made a big world title fight S.A. anyway?

Yes you did you little weirdo.

See post above d***head.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Take your medication and go to bed, you silly old cunt.

That’s all you’ve got?

You were WRONG get over it you Hearn-worshipping sad c***.

It doesn't take long for people to start trying to rewrite history. It won't wash though, because what Amer Abdullah really said is up online for anyone to hear.

He said the negotiations had already started when he was put in charge but he was involved in all the talks and, with the amount of money that was on the table, it was unbelievable to him that the fight couldn't get made.

And I don't know why you are throwing Eddie Hearn's name into the mix here. Eddie wasn't involved in the Fury/Usyk negotiations in any way.

Isn't that what I said also? We are talking about talks that wanted the doubleheader (AJ-WIlder and Fury-Usyk) to happen in Dec. 2022 and whose negotiations were going on after the AJ-Usyk 2 fight. That was almost a year ago. Usyk said he wasn't ready for December and the fight was to happen around Feb. That is the time Fury offered to fight AJ but AJ wasn't ready and we had those Fury deadlines before Fury went ahead and fought Chisora. Eddie's role is that he was involved in all the initial negotiations because he was close to Skills challenge.

He said they would "soon" send Fury a take-it-or-leave-it offer but we all know that never happened. Warren has been saying the Feb negotiations/offer got postponed to Apr because the stadium wasn't ready and we all know what happened since. Do realize that Prince Khalid or the guys running the Riyadh season aren't going to fund it themselves but they seek money from the Saudi sovereign fund which has a portion dedicated to promoting tourism, events, etc. Prince Turki is involved in that and if Skills Challenge wants to use it they apply to him...effectively making them the middlemen in the game but it worked prior to last year because Prince Khalid was favored and got things approved. Later, they thought the money wasn't being invested effectively and Turki, who is really close to MBS, got more involved and his favorite is the Riyadh season.

So, many of us knew around a year or so ago that Skills Challenge is no longer the player. Sure, they can make negotiations and make a proposal but they have to apply to Prince Turki to get the funds released and the chances of that were slim. When the riyadh season people want to make something, the proposing and issuing authorities are in sync.

A single sentence is hardly an "emotional rant," but by all means, come to the aid of poor Eddie. People are bullying him, and you're sad.


Know why people bring those three things up? Because Eddie Hearn is a terrible promoter who came to the USA arrogantly predicting a "take over" and "The End of PPV" and years later, he's an utter failure trying to justify putting Haney/Prograis on PPV knowing it's going to tank, and lying about giving us Wilder/AJ THIS TIME after we've watched Joshua have several mental breakdowns.

An egotistical salesman oversold himself, why do you care so much? The best fight in boxing is on, these are good times, stop obsessing over Hearn.

You can tell that Eddie is dying to slag off Fury vs Ngannou, but he's so desperate for a relationship with the Saudis, he has to stay respectful, and it's killing him.

He's spent years slagging off Warren and now Warren is easily top dog in the UK again.

The two biggest UK fights last year were Warren's. Now he's seemingly the one able to get the big shows with the Saudi's. Eddie's mistake was underestimating a wiley old **** like Warren and burning bridges with people. Also thinking he didn't need the likes of Sky.

Matchroom in the UK is garbage now, yeah he's still got the odd decent fight like Wood v Warrington this weekend but they're at the back end of their career.

Gonna be a rough couple of years for Eddie when you look properly at his stable. Let's see if he has the resilience of Warren. That's why Eddie is starting to try to be respectful.

Although that Frank Smith lad doesn't seem to be doing them any favours in interviews.

Frank Smith is an absolute weapon

Frank Smith is an absolute weapon

Absolutely

As much as i think Eddie is a snake like other promoters, he's still got charisma and I could see why some would find him quite likeable.

Frank Smith is a smarmy little prick and doesn't seem to have anything likeable or charming about his personality.

Eddie Hearn still hasn’t paid the undercard fighter from Toledo. Guy is a joke and a fraud.

Is there a source link?

Deontay Wilder don't want to fight in America no mo.
