Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder-Fury Has Only Sold 8,000 Tickets; Not A Good Look

[Fabes88]

Hearn is such an asshat.
He has made such rookie mistakes that people on here figured out real fast:
1 he puts the fight on in Los Angeles not Vegas. Everyone knows that is a ****ty expensive town with no fight fans.
2 his undercard is terrible. Not enough Latinos for one thing
3 the promotion is terrible, nobody has even heard about the fight. There's no buzz at all
4 he didn't protect Wilder from Fury when they were out on TVtogether. Fury outtalked him. So predictable
5 being the greedy bastard he is he overpriced the tickets
What a loser
What sort of an idiot promoter would make those kind of ****** mistakes?
Eddie the idiot that's who.

Lool big man Are you ok? Have you been smoking angel dust?

Any of those fighters asking for a 50/50 split against one of the biggest names in world boxing?

Yeah, if they're charging that much I'd do the same thing man. I'll probably hit up the Loma fight since it's close to me.

Yeah for sure good deal on the Loma fight. Wilder/Fury is like 5 miles from my pad but yeah they got too ambitious with their initial pricing.

I saw some of the price on Groupon a couple of days ago and then are crazy with those prices. Maybe they think this is Mayweather fighting canelo.

That's only because American pricks prefer cage, mma crap now. 20-25 years ago this fight would do huge numbers here. Now everybody is worried about black face, white face. Hahahaa

In the words of the late Corner Man Angelo Dundee, to Sugar Ray Leonard, in his first fight with Thomas Hearns in 1981; "You've got 21 days. "You're blowing it now son". "You're blowing it". "You're gonna have to be more diligent and industrious in stirring up and generating enough interest, awareness and demand for this fight". The fighters cannot do it alone. Moreover, it's not their jobs to promote this fight; It's their sorry promoters duty.

agreed..its sad how dumbed down American fight fans are now...and how much they've moved away from boxing

but I still think this fight will end up doing ok...a lot of casuals know who wilder is...and even people who don't follow boxing are starting to know who he is....and the Ortiz fight was a great crowd....they might have been better served trying to do this fight in NY but they are trying to expand with wilder

Yeah. I'm not a big fan of Hearn (or any other promoter for that matter) but he hasn't got anything to do with this fight.

[alexguiness]

It's the US marketing model, totally different from the UK.

Hearn knows this and is just trolling Warren.

Joshua spends more time plowing Eddies wife than Eddie does...so he gets irritable sometimes.

[Mrbamladen]

Eddie stay on some b.s. For some reason, he's obsessing over the fight he said would never happen, claims he doesn't like to watch either fighter, and now is involved in the ticket sale. Lol. He's trying hard to stay relevant through this fight and trying to promote his crap fighters. Big baby vs another bum while claiming it's a too fighter, and looking for a reason for people to be hyped to see Joshua knock whyte out again. Wilder vs fury is the fight that decides the division. Joshua is now dwelling on the sideline.
