Why does UK hate Eddie Hearn?

[W1LL]

Because it's 'The Eddie Hearn Show', featuring some fights. He is the UK version of the Watson twins.

[Redd Foxx]

Strange. People on here always defend him. I know, because I think he's a total shyster, like any other promoter, and people always get offended.

[mlac]

btw srs reply for the TS

could be any/all of these reasons:

His cards have become known for being some of the most corrupt in the sport, the UK being 'the new germany' is because of robberies oh his cards

His cards consist of 6 of 8 fights being 100/1 mismatches

He is obsessed with being infront of the camera and is extremely smug

He is a rich kid that was born with a silver spoon.

He/mathroom has links to stubhub that really warrant a criminal investigation

there are more but im too drunk

[The Gambler1981]

He can be a knob.

He often sells garbage PPV's, he treats certain fighters like **** (see Frampton) and he's generally a smug ****er.

He does have a very punchable face

[Tom Cruise]

Its become fashionable. He's a smug **** like gmc_rfc says and there are issues about his deals with secondary ticket site Stubhub which makes getting face value tickets for his shows almost impossible for regular fans.

He is good at what he does though. One of the few promoters around who really understands online marketing. Hes tapped into the casual market goldmine and thats the dream for all promoters.

[Chrismart]

He does come across a bit of a dick at times.

I like him though to be honest.

[REMOVE SHARK 55]

The real root of the booing is David Haye and his 'Apple and pears' tirade. Hogging Katie Taylor's limelight and the others. David Haye has got into the English fans psych.

Sky pushed it overtime in the lead up to Bellew. If you look back on the press conference Adam Smith (head of Sky Boxing) was loving every minute of it. Him & Eddie are meant to be batty and bench.

[KingHippo]

Was about to ask the very same question.

I've heard somewhere that the British can be quite an envious bunch.

[Eff Pandas]

I mean does ANYONE ever really like ANY promoter? I say no.

[E10Rifle]

It's pretty tough to figure out. There are a myriad of complex reasons, which I'll exhaustively list below:

#1 Because he's a smarmy, flash c**t.
