They would have all lost with anyone, being with Eddie makes no difference, he rolls onto the next guy and signs the ones that won, Eddie is laughing to the bank, he cant really loose unless he stops making money for matchroom.
It’s a double edged sword. Because it’s also why Hearn has the best cards and most competitive fights. I mean If you think about it, he was pretty much involved in a lot of the iconic fights/moments of the last few years even if he was on the loosing side.
Besides, all these fighters got paid well for their effort. Which is ultimately the point. As a fan I’d rather see these fighters get tested and paid for their effort rather than watch them protect their 0s for years on end.
He's a promoter, not his fault his fighters didn't deliver (and technically I think he was supporting Haney vs Garcia, I don't know how involved he was "officially").
Sometimes there's no way to win with people. "Look out for the fighter" and it's a "protection program", match them tough and it's bad management, setting them up, or "being cursed".
