Ok so been honest i dont like hearn,i think hes no good for boxing,a scammer and pickpocket con man with his daddys money.so with that out of the way, hearn has this awful habit of going somewhere whit a fighter,capturing a world title,and holding it hostage in the UK, Ok i admit i still watch the "big shows" that dose be on sky,albeit it trough an illegal stream online for a box-office show. Like how can sky and hearn justify some of these shows i dont know but thats a different story i suppose. So what im getting at is,a British fighter wins a title (hearn fighter) and suddenly he is a box office star fighting journeymen or defending his title against someone who we al know has no real chance. I like degale but how long will it be until degale will be "allowed" fight a decent caliber of fighter,and better still fight outside the UK?? Fair enough home advantage and all that,but some these fighters in his stable are a classic example of fighters whit padded records built into a "superstar box-office attraction" and ultimately come up short and be exposed when they step up. Hes not the only promoter to do this by no means, and yes he dose have good fighters,but when they come back to the UK they are pampered with easy defenses and just not ready when a top fighter comes around to challenge them.

what titles have Hearn fighters held hostage in the UK? -
No because DeGale really wants the best fights so no, now if Lee Selby wins the IBF will held captive the belt that another storyComment

What does that even mean? "Held captive". He's the champion, people should have to come to him. He's not afraid to travel as shown in his entire career. He just went to America and beat one of their most talented boxers.
Give the man his due.Comment

Sorry but america is a declining power in boxing. The writing has been on the wall since the Olympics and the lack of talent that was on display is no being felt in the pro ranks as the Hearn is able to take over.Comment

Your actually right he dosnt have that many champions..and Scott quigg, so far its looking like kell brook, nathan cleverly before he was fcked up by kovalev although he did fight once in LA before then, ricky burns before he fought in the states a few weeks ago,and the countless interm/silver champions that are not going to box outside of Britain. Wait and see,if selby wins,never fight outside the uk against someone worth fighting,and the same thing whit mitchell, IF i am wrong,and selby and mitchell win and defend their titles against someone valuable or even outside the UK,and degale keeps his word and fights the "best" at 168,or takes a fight that wont be all his way outside the UK,then il come back and give you some points and green K, until then enjoy mis matches and groves vs degale 2 for £40 on box office if groves wins, although i wouldnt mind seeing that fight myself haComment

thats the thing,i give degale his dues,and i believe he wants to travel and fight the best, buuuuuuut the strings are being pulled by the puppet master that is eddie hearn, it is HIM not degale that will keep this belt captive, i mean never fight anyone worth a risk,or fight outside the UK wher not everthing can go their way, but like i said degale is not the problem,i like him,but hearn is going to but him in 100% whit a British fighter next,and maybe after that againComment

It's the Hearn/British way.Comment

Who did Shawn Porter fight in his first defence? A shot to **** Paulie. Anthony Dirrell tried to cherry pick Badou Jack for his first title defence. Who is Deontay Wilder fighting again? Should I go on?
It's the Fat Yank way. They only start facing threats when they get mandated. Porter got schooled by Brook. And Wilder is gonna have to fight Povetkin having already baulked at $10m to go to Russia to face him.Comment
