Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn on Working with Frank Warren on Dec. 23 Card: 'We'd Be Muppets If We Let That History Get in the Way'

I don’t think he means this card is historic
He’s saying that the history between him and Warren shouldn’t get in the way of this card

The card itself is slightly above average for modern day boxing. I suppose if it had Fury/Usyk headlining, it would have been a pretty good card

Considering it was pulled together at short notice after Fury - Usyk moved off that date it's pretty impressive. Of course, the average NSB neckbeard loves complaining, especially about "muh AJ - Wilder".

Solid evidence that these "promoters" are the ones hanging up the fights and that money talks.

How is this card historic tho? I’m confused why it’s historic? What’s the history?

Money talks, Eddie & Aj are business first second & third before legacy & fighting either Wilder or Fury.
This card is laughing in the face of real fight fans but hopefully this is a step in the right direction & they have signed contracts to fight down the line.
Until it happens (6 year's to late) i still believe Aj if he beats Wallin will have put himself in place to fight Hrgovic for the vacant in house ibf belt & they've stated quite clearly they want a belt & as usual this is the path of least resistance.
To me Wilder Aj is in the same house as Brooke Khan, 2 shot past it old boxer's cashing in one last time year's after it was relevant. They'll probably be older by the time it happens, if ever.

Exactly,
On paper nobody apart from Dubois & Miller are in 5050 fight's. If it was...
Wilder Aj,
Parker Wallin,
Sanchez Mak,
Then we'd be talking. But that wouldn't match a regular ufc ppv card which will have 5 or 6 fight's on that level with real belts on the line.

This is hopefully a step in the right direction.

IFL and the rest of the UK boxing channels. Though IFL were the trail blazers, of course. To his credit, Tyson Fury is well aware of that particular game. He was being interviewed by one of the usual suspects after the Ngannou fight - can't remember who it was - and one of the questions began with: "I was talking to Eddie Hearn earlier ... "

Fury: "Shut up about Eddie Hearn. I know you want the clicks, but I've got nothing to say about him and I'm not interested in anything he has to say about me."

It was good to see, the animus was largely stirred up by iFL TV chasing views. Boxing fans haven't benefited from their beef.

Pu**y and views.

Nothing puts a smile on like a little moolah.
