Comments Thread For: Hearn Stunned at Groves' Position on Fighting DeGale

[alexguiness]

Hey dude, it's been a long time - not sure if you remember on the message boards because I don't usually post here but like to lurk a bit. Anyway, I seem to recall us having a conversation on both DeGale and Groves before they fought each other. I like both but as of late, Groves has been acting like he owns the whole of the Super Middleweight Division - call it ****iness (just like DeGale was) or confidence, take your pick.

Anyway, I go through a lot of news on these both but I always see your hate messages to Groves. Of course you dislike him but I could have sworn that at one point, when we were talking, you quite liked him. What happened?

Dirk Diggler is a selective hater / troller.

That is to say he hates anyone who questions Amir Khan or James Degale.

And anyone who is ugly and ginger...

I'm sure it makes sense to him.

Hearn needs to stop trying to dictate other fighter's careers and focus on his own stable. Was such a **** to Groves on Twitter the other day.

He's not even going to get his shot until the Autumn because Anthony Dirrell has been granted an extension to have a voluntary so when are they going to fight at Stamford Bridge? Summer 2016?

And if Ugly Kid wins the world title, he's going to be even harder to negotiate with. He wants 65% already, what's he going to want then? He doesn't want to fight DeGale again, that's clear.

I remember you - you bet me that Matthew Hatton would beat Kell Brook

I thought you were taking the piss. Anyway....never been a fan of Groves. He's always tried to overestimate his own worth.

Ha! Yeah, but Kell Brook won't beat Amir Khan - it's a miss match. Wanna bet again? lol

Anyway, glad to hear from you again. I'd love to see a rematch and I think DeGale would win this time.

Bruv, I really dont wanna get into an internet cussing match. Im not ugly or ginger thank jesus, I'm sure you dont have a degale shrine. Honestly tho, you should just park the "ugly kid" thing, it takes away from any good opinions you bring and even Degale has let it go - its terrible banter.

Im not a fanboy of either. I rate both on their day and find both jarring in interviews. I'd defo understand why Groves would swerve Degale right now tho, he's made alot of money, obviously ain't in the best form and is mandatory for a shot at WBC later this year all being well.

Plus if they do both beat a dirrell, a world title unification next summer in London would be massive. I was lucky enough to be in the 12th row for their first fight at o2 and the atmosphere was wicked, imagine a rematch for two world titles and with a year to develop.

The fact that you complain about it all the time is a big part of the reason I still use it. You obviously didn't catch that. Being ugly and Ginger, you would have hoped that you were at least perceptive....

There's no guarantee of any of that happening. And like I said, if Groves' ego is this big to ask for 65% of the purse now when he's never been a champion and has been stopped in his last two significant fights and looked like **** in his last two bum fights, what's he going to want if he's a world champion?

The fight is on the table now and is the best option for both boxers financially. One side wants it, the other doesn't. Yes I understand why Ugly Kid doesn't want it too - he knows he'd lose

Eddie Hearn should focus on Andre Dirrell, the guy that's been ordered by the IBF to fight DeGale.

[springfiels]

Only Degale and Sauerland act normally out of these quartet.

Thats very true lately!

[springfiels]

So basically you're condoning Groves ducking DeGale because you feel Groves would lose and you don't want that to happen?

I thought I was the fanboy?

Both of these guys like to cry. Sadly. Hearn is always moaning about his beloved domestic fights and Groves behves like an immature child. Only Degale and Sauerland act normally out of these quartet.
