Michael Buffer's Twitter account HACKED by Eddie Hearn

[DaNeutral.]

Ive not really believed much of any of the facts and figures coming out of Warren and the PBC regarding the 1st fight. I saw tickets being given away, we all did, i saw empty seats and the venue, we all did, i heard the crowd being much more vocal for Fury than Wilder, we all did.

Then they come out with ticket sales and PPV sales, then we get respected insiders saying NO it seems they didnt sell as many tickets as they are claiming, then we get NO it seems they didnt sell as many PPV's as they are claiming. They chose to not release the official numbers.

Then we get people saying Wilder got anything from 5 to 10 Mill, then it went to 8-12, then it went to somewhere between 14 and 20 million. Expert insiders claim Wilder got less than 10 million from that fight. Official numbers are not released.

People within the PBC have mentioned lots of numbers but not released anything official so they have mentioned rumours and then we get the expert industry insiders talking lower numbers than the PBC people are claiming and these insiders are all MATCHROOM SHILLS. Ofcourse they are. Theres nothing fishy about what numbers the PBC does and doesnt release to public knowledge.

They been lying about how well this fight has done in so many ways. Even down to Wilder giving Fury a 50-50 split of everything, that rumour started with the PBC but turned out to be a massive lie in itself. It wasnt 50-50 and Fury did not get a rematch clause only Deontay got that. But they need to keep their contracts private because that contract is full of things Finkel and Wilder spat at and refused when offered similar by Anthony Joshua.

I thought Buffer was better than this.

It shouldn’t be really that surprising

Wasn’t he just a soap opera actor that found a niche and exploited it to the fullest to make crazy cash . Props to him for that

Burn He’s not and never was a boxing guy just a talking head that doesn’t stand for anything , I guess it shouldn’t be a suprise for him to be a shill and spew his employers propaganda. Put some cash in Buffers pocket and he’ll probably say whatever you want him to say

While we’re on the topic of Buffer . I remember when PBC first launched there was discussions and they were close to having him be the official announcer , I guess the doing the same thing he does at DAZn

I just don’t get it. New Platforms you’d think would want to attract a new younger audience especially on a app. Why sign up Buffer the guys a dinosaur. He doesn’t resonate with anyone under 40 . I think the days of him bringing legitimacy to a event are over. I don’t get Why wouldn’t these platforms still want to have him. The guys glory days were literally like 25-35 years ago.

He obviously isn’t. This is what happen when someone is being paid by a certain network, or they when someone has an affiliation with certain networks... Lennox Lewis comes to mind.

WTF? YOU think Tyson fury Is 4th popular in he world? Your smoking something ! He couldn’t even sell out Wembley (unless again joshua), Khan and Joshua could do that against most opponents.

I'm including global appeal. Many Brit fighters do zero views in the U.S.

For example, A.J. isn't a guaranteed sell-out in the US as he has zero exposure here.

Khan's name is still (somewhat) relevant, but he has zero following over here.

Fury is well known in the US thanks to his fight with Wilder where most, including most AmeriKKKans, felt Fury won. Fury is also entertaining, funny, and a good fighter.

There's not much to not like about Fury. Fury is a physical freak and has a lot of charisma. He's by far the most charismatic HW.

So while Joshua and/or Khan may have advantages at Wembley. Fury sells the most in the US - and it's not close.

Buffer has terminal cancer and was going to retire. DAZN offered a ton of money to become their spokesman and part of the deal was having to make tweets like that.

Fury isn’t 5th most popular in the world however you look at it. And the US isn’t the world, there are many other countries.
Fury and wilder combined only sold about 11,000 live tickets for a heavyweight bout with a huge marketing push behind it. Your telling me he’s the 5th most popular in the world, never mind the US where your claiming he has a huge fan base? Get on our high horse.

You realize Lewis has been critical of how Hearn /AJ have handled the Wilder negotiations and how AJs navigated his career before he became associated with PBC.

Maybe Lewis is just speaking the truth

Love the conspiracy theories and the hate. It's entertaining.

Really tell me when he became PBC/Wilders associate. And no he isn’t speaking the truth. To fangirls yes he is, as his truth supports their narratives.

I think Lewis has been on good terms with Wilder for years , I also thought he was on good terms with AJ , I could be wrong though . Looked at as the Elder Statesman to the young guys

He just recently started doing PBC broadcasts and he was giving his opinion on the HW scene and AJ / Wilder scenario before he was getting a PBC cheque

It has nothing to do with being a fan girl. You read the threads when Lewis gives his opinion and most support what he says . Just because you don’t agree or like it doesn’t mean it’s not true. I think the opinion of a fighter thats considered one of his eras Greats and knows the game in and out should hold some weight when he gives his take on subjects
