Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn suggests 'snakes' and 'bloodsuckers' are putting words in Richardson Hitchins' mouth

[Oldskoolg]

It's true about Hearn turning Haney into a recognizable name in boxing. I would not have looked at Haney's previous history had it not for Hearn. He was a total nobody ignored by Mayweather and uncle Al Haymon.

No it isn’t, he made a name for himself fighting on Showtime long before throwing in with Hearn.

Take it from Haney himself who was featured in an article describing his fruitful working relationship with Hearn, how no one was interested in signing him. He praised Hearn and admitted his career would not have taken off without him. Bill repeated the same on multiple occasions in interviews and press conferences.

Question is why PBC and TMT never made any offer to Haney.

It is not out of the blue if you are a free agent. Crazy how anyone is defending Eddie. The guy is saying he spoke to Turki and he will only deal with Eddie for Hitchins next fight. IF Hitchins is a free agent and then Eddie is still claiming Turki will only deal with him for a Hitchins fight that is a f**** up snakey move. There is no loyalty even promoters. If fighters can get fights directly with Turki now why would they want to pay a 20% matchroom fee when not needed? Remember Turki will also throw Eddie to a side when not needed he has chosen Dana to promote Canelo Bud. That is embarassing for the boxing promoters, it also shows no one has real loyalty. And again the points you make about invested money in him, got you title shot etc is irrelevant, whilst he is signed to them that is literally the promoters job. No bonus points for doing your job

Yeah that’s fair, it’s just not how I do business. If I’ve been working in partnership with someone for some time but decide to try something else, I’ll discuss it with them before I officially go out to the open market.

I work in a pretty tight and turbulent industry, you’re not on top for long - so keeping bridges unburned is paramount.

I personally think loyalty is important, and truth is, Richardson would be nowhere right now without Eddie.

On the other hand, careers are short and if there is a big Turki payday on the table, can't blame him for being a backstabber if that's the case. That's life.

But still doesn't sit right with me.

Classless on Hitchens part. Hearn a tourist promoting in America. Out of his depth. Doesn’t understand US marketplace or its dynamics.

Hearn told his DAZN paymasters that he would take over promoting in America and like all else he’s involved in, that also has become a failure. He then tried the same with Turki by becoming his official lap dog, and Turki finally figured out that him and Warren were ripping him off, and now he’s trying to figure out how to save Matchroom who’s fighters are leaving at an alarming rate.

[Phase III]

Hearn was doing good before Turki came along and dumped his vault into boxing...

Hearn saw the money grab opportunity and abandoned Matchroom and his fighters to kiss Turki ‘s arse and now Turki finally woke up and realized that Hearn and Warren were tenants in his pockets. Now Dana and the League are getting the last laugh. And Hearn has the nerve to call others blood suckers when all the while he was getting on his knees and sucking Turki’s arse while abandoning Matchroom and his fighters. He’s talking about greed? What a douche bag whimp.

I must say this article has clarified some things for me. I could never understand why Liam Paro went to fight Richardson in his back yard when Liam was a brand new world champion and would have made a lot of money if the fight was staged in Australia. Now it seems that Eddie believed in Hitchins and invested in him heavily by "feeding" Paro to him. If the investment Eddie made in him is half true and it seems very likely it is, Richardson is very ungrateful.

It was a very poor form for him to disrespect Eddie like that so I assume he must have been really upset with Eddie for some reason. I am sure we will hear the other side of this story soon.

The only one who has the right to critique here is Paro who Hearn fed to Hitch and showed Paro no respect. Hearn is a pure blood sucker himself. Glad Hitch told him to F off. Even Keith Connolly who took all his fighters to Matchroom and who Hearn considers a loyal friend, told Eddie to F off too.

[Phase III]

Hearn has a classic case of entitlement. He has always believed he should have while others should not.

Hearn and Warren are the biggest snakes and leeches in boxing. Don’t believe me…ask Turki.

how did he show him no respect? hitchins was his mando i think and im sure eddie threw some cash to paro or else he would have kicked up about it being the champ, also if i remember hitchins may well have lost his fight before that v lemos, a lot of people were screaming robbery for that fight i think

Neither organization wanted to pay over market value. Since dazn and matchroom needed American stars, they paid more than he is really worth. That’s the Matchroom model and it’s why dazn has been a failure
