This is the proof, once again, that Hearn has no respect for boxing nor his people, and is willing to sell them any type of garbage.

Excellent article. I saw the video as posted by The Ring, earlier and couldn't quite believe what I was seeing. It made me feel embarrassed to be a boxing fan in that moment. Absolutely shameless. The promoters seem determined to spin this into a super fight despite an almost universally lukewarm response from anyone and everyone not directly involved in the promotion.

Another Labour MP that hasn't got a clue !

Really weird, because for him to say that in that setting makes it sound like he’s really into his boxing, but if he was really into his boxing he wouldn’t have said that

In England, even casual fans are saying this is a contrived non-fight - maybe it bombs - lets hope so then we won't have to hear from these idiots again
