    Boycott Eddie Hearn?

    Is it time to lay the boycott down on Eddie Hearn? He is the Puff Daddy of all promoters “dancing all in the videos”.
    Has he gave us any exciting fights lately?

    Jacobs- Arias
    Joshua- Takam
    Khan- Lo Greco
    Brook- Rabchenco

    He has Whyte ducking Ortiz and fighting for peanuts. Now he’s risking his cash cow by putting him in with a cheater that no1 cares about. If I didn’t know any better I’d think he’s avoiding doing business with Haymon because Haymon stole DeGale....
    Now that he’s got a little clout he’s trying to play the boxing fans. Joshua needs to also see why Hearn is calling this a 50m dollar fight while more established(DiBella, Finkle, Haymon) boxing figures are saying 100m. Boycott or are the boxing fans overreacting?

    To my fellow UK fans your dollar counts. You don’t have to put up with his garbage/boring mismatches. Some of us boycotted TR and GB when they failed to deliver Pacquiao-Mayweather

    I think American fans are most of his fans than U.K. fans. They hate his privilege guts here. Hence them booing him at Joshua v Takam fight. I don’t like him but I understand his “Hustle”

        I was wondering about this^^ I have a lot of UK fans on my boxing twitter and they all say the same thing. I just want the fans to know that we have a voice with our money. We don’t have to sit by and keep supporting garbage fights

          If need to start boycotting promoters who put up pathetic mismatches, there'd be no more boxing left.

            British fans don't hate Hearn.

            It's just 'cool' to give him a hard time because we know he can take it. He actively encourages a 'love me or hate me' personality with his arrogance but hate doesn't mean hate.

              People like him are not liked in this ends, and because he is the promoter of Joshua isn’t changing that. There are a lot of allegations about him when he was younger and in school. But putting that aside he talks a good game, but people like him you got to be very careful. They can sell you shit and call it gold, you would only realise you got taken once he is gone.

                He was more liked over here when he didn't have skin in the game. From afar it looked like he was a genius. But the only thing we had to judge by was IFL interviews and Sky Sports articles. So I think you can see why he looked so good from afar.

                But now that he's over here and doesn't have the cover of friendly media like Sky Sports and IFL, a lot of us American fans are starting to see he's full of it. Especially with this Wilder situation.

                    He isn’t well liked, I like his sense of humour because he played to it doe. Again I don’t mind his “Hustle” as he is in a business world. Just like an other promoter, he is there to make a profit.
