Comments Thread For: Hearn Reacts To Wilder Calling Him 'White Man Milking a Brother'

[LacedUp]

Hearn is such a shyster. Tries to diminish his role and say "I just work for AJ", then goes on to boast about how he makes huge money with his fighters.
Wilder was distasteful in phrasing it that was, but I'm not gonna say he's wrong...

He says he makes his fighters huge money.

As always. You listen with your arse and not your head because you’re biased.

OWNED! I would like to see some facts but Damn!

"Deontay Wilder pays considerably more percentages to a team of people to promote him, to manage him and advise him than Anthony Joshua does. And Anthony Joshua earns 10 times what Deontay Wilder makes in one fight, per fight."

Owned times 10!

Can’t think of many fights the fans demanded that Hearn hasn’t put on.

Brook - Khan maybe. Which other?

Chisora/Whyte 2 for me.

I realise that isn't a huge fight but I don't know how they didn't get that over the line. Sell out the O2 no issues.

Chisora lost his fight. What can you do? Hearn wanted to make that fight and made both offers.

In any case, Hearn has put his main fighters in tough ***ing fights all the way through.

Froch vs Ward, Kessler, Bute and Groves twice in a 2-3 year time frame.
Brook vs GGG and Spence back to back.
AJ against Klitschko and Parker almost back to back, as well as AJ in a title fight that early.

Don't get me started about Paul Smith (Ward, Abraham), Kevin Mitchell (Linares, Barosso + that tricky fella on froch v groves 2 undercard), Darren Barker (Sturm in germany and Geale away as well as martinez away. heck even offerd him GGG in his prime), Crolla (barosso, Linares twice), Burns (crawford, beltran, zlaticanic).

I always laugh when I read some crap about Hearn protecting his fighters. It's a total lie.

Joshua is his own manager, Hearn promotes his fights, Hearn works for Joshua

hysterical way for him to react considering that joshua makes more and his promtional team and management makes less of the total revenue.


hearn is spot on. if anybody is being milked it is wilder. and that he's not a star is not entirely upon wilder, but of a poor promotional team who are not doing what's needed to make him a star. wilder has what it takes to be a massive draw. there's a vacuum for an american HW with power. wilder has INSANE power. he shouldn't be 40 fights and 39 knockouts in without making it to PPV.

Don King never milked anyone.

This.

And the verdict is still out on Haymon.

[Teetotaler]

Hearn shoulda called him boy
