    Eddie Hearn just doesn't work well with old men.

    Shirley Winkle.

    Fish Eyes frank

    Bob Arum

    These are the three promoters he seems to have issues with.

    On the other hand he gets on well with Oscar and everyone's favourite coke head uncle, Kalle saurland and makes deals easily with them.

    Frank Warren is a bitter old man who always slags everyone who doesn't work for him off

    Shirley Winkle, honestly I thought he was dead years ago

    And Bob is just Bob

        Yeah that’s not the case at all

        Hearn had no problem working with Arum to make Valdez /Quigg or Finkell to make AJ/Klit

        No one in the sport have problems working with each other if it benefits both parties and they actually want to make a fight happen

        Has Nothing to do with age, it’s just business

                He made Crawford/Khan? He had no choice. Hearn even admitted Khan and his team did most of the negotiations and he just handled the TV part and stuff like that. Khan beats to his own drum though. Did same with the Canelo fight.

                But Matchroom/TR have made fights for sure. Let's see how many non-purse bid fights they make now that Hearn has the DAZN platform. Much different beast now.

                  It’s only frank warren, who is a direct competitor (and known to be bitter with any direct competitors) and “Shirley winkle”.

                  Shelly appears an odd one as others like Lou DiBella despite criticism both ways Eddie Hearn has managed numerous deals since with. Bob Arum he has equally done business with where appropriate.

                  It suggests to me more that in the case of Shelly it comes down to Wilder not wanting the fight and that skews the viewpoint on here.

                    I’m sure one of the most successful managers in the sport who’s represented the who’s who of the sport was just there just to hold Klits bag and wasn’t involved at all .

                    Makes sense to pay 10% or whatever of your purse to get a guy who’s done these big fights countless times just to hold his bags and not contribute anything to the negotiations. Seems like $ well spent

                    Do you even believe what you write
