Eddie Hearn and The State of British Boxing

[R_Walken]

Thanks for the response

[QUOTE=zmm001;15548191]They are in no position to make an offer doesn't mean they have to accept Hearns.

Why is the onus on Hearn to drag along Framptons team. It's a huge payday for Frampton ( Career Best I think ) Make the fight if his team can't make a reasonable offer then take what's there. Frampton is the bigger draw and a legitimate champ and will most likely win but if his team doesn't have the capabilities to make the fight then don't they have to take what's there. I don't think its Hearns responsiblity to hold Framptoms team hand in making the fight.

The fight is terrible and because of its addition the card will now be ppv

That sucks but but peoe don't have to pay for it but for UK fans you get 3 championship fights 2 seem like they might be competitive and a showcase for Joshua and a chance to see Brook run through Gavin not that bad of a card IMO

Rios doesn't deserve a title shot and Hearn is building it like Rios a Huge star when he might not even be a top 10 147lber.


Your right Rios isn't top 10 but he's a name. Hearn isn't going to bring Thurman, Bradley over where the possibility of Brook losing his belt is far greater then fighting Rios, Marquez , Berto . Better to bring in a 2nd tier fighter where Brook has a better chance. Play it safe for a bit

Just my take

I like Hearn but Don't live in the UK so hopefully people can fill me in

- If 1.5 is such a lowball / disgrace / PR stunt Why doesn't Framptons team make a offer to Quigg. HEARN said ed be willing for them to promote the fight. So why don't they make a offer or is it true their in no position to do so


- The Brook / Gavin fight is nothing to get excited about but the overall card is good

- I'm cool with Brook / Rios if it gets made. I'm a Rios fan so if he gets a shot at a belt Im cool with it

- I think Hearn would rather have domestic fights then bring in a elite foreigner and have the Domestic fighter get his s..h!t pushed in

All your points are fair but I will only agree with you about frampton if mcguigan turns down 60-40 and co-promotion otherwise they are well within their rights to reject offers from a paper champion.

That card is good but i'd prefer if it was on regular sky sports without brook-gavin than on ppv with that mismatch.

You say that but why did Hearn go public with his (terrible) offer in the first place? He could easily have said to Framptons team during the negotiations what his stance/offer was and Framptons team would counter.

Hearn knew exactly what he was doing by putting that public offer out there. It was a cheap PR stunt designed to con casuals into thinking it was Frampton's side which was stalling negotiations. Hopefully Frampton and team arent too pissed off to carry negotiating for the fight

And another thing....Josh Warrington is ***ing ****.

Brace yourselves for Warrington vs Lee Selby on Sky Box Office next year if the Welsh Mayweather beats Gradovich.

"This fight carrrn't 'appen wiv-ahhht pay pur view!"

Posing on television with a ***ing cheque in your hand alongside the dead-eyed and half-******ed Scott Quigg (who clearly doesn't really know what's going on, poor lad) was one of the funniest images of 2015 so far.

Hahaha!

I know you're joking but I have a legit fear that could happen with their combined 12 KOs in 41 fights.

When fighters are willing to make less money to make sure you do as well you are obvisously a ****. I would also like to add that ricky burns being bankrupt is 80% Hearn's fault as well

How? He got consecutive career best paydays with Hearn?
