I understand that people really hate Hearn, but I don't think anyone could say he's stealing from AJ, or has him fighting for peanuts while he himself is making a killing like Arum does. Hearn makes pennies compared to AJ. AJ is making huge money thanks to partnering with Hearn, there can be no doubt about that.

    I think if people detach themselves from the hate they would be able to see it, whether you like his practices or not or his "ducking" tactics he's definitely acting in AJ's favour.

    Arum is master manipulator and had Manny bent over for years taking it dry, I'm so happy for him that he's finally got out of his greasy hands.

    I'd imagine if he did sign up it'd be mutually beneficial. I think Hearn and DAZN would come off better in the deal in the long run, but if it allows Manny to earn a decent wedge before retiring into the hall of fame then I think I'm all for it.
    I heard Hearn saying during a Boxing Voice Interview on Wilder v Fury, saying "I have rights on Joshua" explicitly.

    He almost made it sound like a dog and his owner. I didn't like how he said it. Almost Arumish

      I know what Hearn said.

      He’s still advised by Haymon.

            3 were with Warren..1 was with Hennessy sports. Not a single one of those fighters was getting even 10 percent of what their highest paydays have been under Hearn. Did they all miraculously get brilliant and have talent transplants in the latter stages of their career ?

            They made money.. BECAUSE of Hearn. Because he might be a slimeball but he's absolutely one of the best promoters in the world at getting his fighters paid and navigating them to big fights.

            Take a look at their resumes..opponents..purses...where they were being guided to prior to going with hearn.

            Look at Anthony crolla..a nothing..a peon. Signs to hearn and gets guided to a world championship and two massive paydays against Jorge Linares.

            You think Anthony joshua would make what he does now under Frank Warren? Or dillian Whyte would have just sold 440k ppv buys if he hadnt signed with matchroom after the AJ fight?

            There's a reason the saying is earn with Hearn.. cos he gets you paid.
            The common denominator in all of this is Sky. Sky made Hearn, and Sky made money and gave the air time to all those fighters.

            Hearn has done well with the backing he's been given by Sky compared to Fish Eyes

              Guy chats as much **** if not more than any other promoter.. but sometimes what he says makes more sense than what the other person says .

              One thing we do agree on ... Hearn as a person/promoter doesn't want the wilder fight.

                Yeah and sometimes what he says is just more bull***** he knows he won’t get called out on.

                Jacobs is still advised by Haymon.

                  They were on sky pre-hearn when Warren was doing shoes on there and they were with him..

                  Hearn got his chance because of the great job matchroom had done with the darts with him as a PDF board member / chairman.

                  Hearn date shared at the beginning..then got outright exclusivity..because his product was better. People jumped over because he offered them more. My point..is that those fighters got more from Hearn than they ever would have without him

                    You’re absolutely right
                    Haymon is “personal advisor” in a sense and has nothing to do with promotion
                    Although with his intelligence for the fight game , I’m pretty sure some promoters reach out to him for his thoughts and ideas
                    Of course for a large fee , without say

                      He’s in the same role he was in before. But yes, Hearn is Jacobs’ promoter, something Haymon never was.
