    Why is Eddie Hearn doing better then Frank Warren in promotions????

    Matchroom Sport is doing much better then Frank Warren it has got better fighters captured the olympic medallists which Frank Warren used to do.

    It has captured a Sky deal.

    Broke the British record of the most money grossing fight and boxing attendance from Froch-Groves 2 fight.

    A young Hearn has gone miles ahead of a legendary British promoter Frank Warren.

    How did this become all of a sudden.

    Everyone knows Frank Warren is a RAT who doesn't pay his fighters. He also needs to pay for his coke head son's career in rehab.

    Basically all the Warren's are massive losers who would cut of their own knobs if it meant they could sell them for £1

    They are HORRIBLE, NASTY, VILE, EVIL, ****.

    Eddie has cleaned up because he's honest. Dead simple.

    Last i heard, old fish eyes was trying to sell his mum to Don King.

    What a ****.

        The relationship with Sky Sports is a big factor.

                Hmmmm number of factors;
                Sky
                Money coming in from other sports

                Also one thing I like about Eddie Hearn is his encyclopedic knowledge of his stable and other boxers from the UK and abroad. Any questions asked, he's able to give an answer straight off.. Maybe he blags a little like all promoters do but on the whole, he tells you what the deal is without sugarcoating it. He's a lot more in touch with the younger fans,casual fans.

                  Barry (Eddie's father) did very well in the 80s with the sport of snooker and eventually ventured into boxing. He enjoyed a lot of success with fighters like Bruno, Eubank, Benn etc. Afterwards, he went into darts and is the head of the PDC. He also owns a football team called Leyton Orient. A very successful man.

                  When they (Hearn & Son) came back to boxing they brought with 'em a new format, Prizefighter. It caught on well whilst Matchroom began to gain traction. They managed to push Warren out and other promoters from Sky Sports and monopolized. Deservedly so too 'cause they put on some really good shows. Although I'd like to see lesser known promoters getting more of a chance.

                    He has a better stable I guess. Froch, Degale, Frampton, Quigg, Joshua >> Fury, Chisora, every day. Warren has Eubank and Saunders too who are suppose to be prospects but I think both of them are slightly overrated, former is because his father, and the later... I don't know why the hell...
                    But anyway, what is really annoying both in Heran and Warren is their domestic fight mania, because the Brits are dying for these "domestic" fights and these promoters try to sell domestic fight as a positive notion, however it was always the symbol word of "not wordclass level". They advertise and build up just their so beloved domestic fights while they try to sell their fighters as unbeatable guys who would beat everyone in their division. It's pretty ridiculous.
