    Hearn's persecution complex

    I'm not one who gets particularly exercised by Hearn. He's pretty typical of a type of person one can find around London and the south-east of England who thinks owning large houses and expensive cars is the meaning of life. He revealed his intellectual limitations in his Oxford Union address which didn't develop much beyond motivational soundbites. Former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page showed much more insight and introspection during his Oxford Union speech.

    What is notable is Hearn's persecution complex. Most recently he's pushing this idea that were Beterbiev one of his fighters then the world would be alight with accusation regarding a "atypical" VADA reading. Of course, like every effective propagandist, he's missing out crucial context. (1) Hearn has for years been telling us he's the best promoter in the world, so he's inviting additional scrutiny; (2) he's been prepared to die on the hill of Conor Benn who registered two "adverse" findings with VADA.

    In the aforementioned Oxford Union speech he managed to shoehorn in alleged double standards when it comes to hosting events in Saudi Arabia, when it wasn't even relevant to the question. There's a complex picture in Saudi which goes beyond "sportswashing", but ultimately Hearn and the rest should admit it's beyond their understanding and they're just happy to be getting their "bag" instead of dressing it up as something noble.

        Eddie is a massive hypocrite who once said Canelo and other drug cheats should be banned from the sport, and now follows Canelo around like a sad dog. On more than one occasion he’s fried to get PED failed athletes either fighting out of jurisdiction of the suspension (JCC Jr, Benn) or had secret hearings for PED’s without the opponent even being informed.

        and now he leaks a non fail to try to sell this fight and dial up his “oh poor me” Schtick.

        and he showed his lack of IQ and awareness when he made his Matchroom USA debut saying he would take over the sport, end PPV and sign every big name with his DAZN bag. Turns out nobody wanted to sign with him because of his arrogant attitude, his knack of insulting fighters/fights that aren’t aligned with him and typically being a twat (threw in some UK slang for ya)

            Not sure I'd call it a persecution complex, he does get a lot of criticism. To me he just seems like someone who is obviously biased and is always trying to spread his narrative and push his own agenda. Reminds me of a politician or lawyer/barrister.

                - - Oxford Union/Jimmy Page drippy sniffy are you now?

                Fact is Hearn has been making the biggest, most financially stupendous fights in boxing while developing a quality viewing stable for quite some time, and with his dad has more gravitas in boxing than you have in your panties...again & again & again!!!​
