I say Hearn. He gets lots of hate on here but I like him and don't think he is this liar some say he is. He has certainly done right by Jacobs and Andrade.
Who looks after their fighters better, Hearn or Warren?

Now that you mentioned the Arum/Pac relationship,I've never heard of Hearn having Bob Arum and Don King problems with his fighters. I will give him credit for that.
Sky Sports wouldn't let him get away with that type of behavior. It reflects badly on the company. Just like when Arum didn't pay Manny for his ESPN Plus fight Manny got paid out quickly. ESPN is not about to have **** like that going on. If Bob was still with HBO Manny would still be waiting on his money
I think there are similarities in the Warren/Fury partnership.
Pac/Fury possibly have this hard-wired thing about respect for elders.
It took a while for Pac to break away with Arum.
Maybe Fury will soon realize he deserve better.Comment

Fury just got with Warren. He's had 3 fights with him. Two warm up fights then a PPV in L.A. & now another one in NY.Now that you mentioned the Arum/Pac relationship,

You must be confusing Warren with Mick Hennessey, Fury's old promoterComment

It is quite easy to look after Anthony Joshua, as he is immensely disciplined and has a massive team of friends around him, all those people who wear his tracksuit.
Frank Warren is doing a good job with Tyson Fury, they seem to respect each other. 'Warren has the harder task'.Comment

Takes care of their fighters? I just picture Warren reading Big Fury a bedtime story, Tyson's feets all poking out of the covers and ****, and Eddie tucking Joshua in.Comment

I hate to say it, but the small amount of time I've been observing Warren he's been fùcking up almost the whole time.
Warren doesn't seem to be too concerned about futures otherwise he would have gotten Fury.Wilder II in the UK and should have done more for Billy Joe. Fùck Andrade on his home turf. You want the belt, come and get it motherfùcker. As a businessman, that's what I would have said. Very little protection from Warren it seems.
Also, some interviews I've seen him in I noticed he doesn't handle being in front of the camera too well and thats a problem for me on several levels. Seems a bit beta at times.
As much as it pains me to say it, Hearn speaks very very well in front of the camera. Quick like a whip and lies on the fly, that takes great talent.
One thing he probably learned in his poker career was not having tells. His lies have almost zero tells, that takes talent.
Hearn appears to be the better promoter and adopted modern methods like being very vocal in the press. Warren isn't motivating anybody. I'm sure he might have his reasons, but he's a bit too old school in this digital age.Last edited by McNulty; 02-01-2019, 09:56 PM.Comment
