    Something I like about Eddie Hearn

    He understands the value of the African American market in the U.S.

    Saw an interview with him on YouTube with a member of the LDBC. He doesn't dismiss these people like others do. He knows there is a reason they have the largest membership of the YouTube boxing community. They filled a void. And look at his prospect signings. Catering to this market will make Eddie successful in the U.S.

    very sharp on his part. stephen espinoza said the two top purchasing and viewing markets in boxing are black and hispanic. you can do one or the other, or you can do both if you want a fighter to be big. that's whats hurting top rank right now. i think dazn gets it. i dont know if they can do what they set out to but i like the approach.

      I'm not sure how much it will actually help him to be honest. He did an interview with a channel called Barbershop Conversations a few days ago. In that interview he told the interviewer that the DAZN offer to Wilder would have guaranteed the Joshua fight. Today, that same channel released a video claiming that Eddie Hearn said the opposite.

      Subscribers of that channel, may not have watched the videos, but they'll definitely see the video titles and will have no reason to question the Barbershop Conversation version of the truth. Especially, as the interviewer has the credibility that they spoke to Eddie Hearn in person.

      It's a dangerous strategy for Hearn really.

        It is against the Ali Act that a broadcaster restricts access to one of their fighters unless the fighter agrees to sign with them. How in the hell are they getting away with this.

          How would you prove that?

            When did Hearn do this? He says if someone is willing to pay his fighter more than him than they can do the fight. Recently Loma vs Crolla and Crawford vs Khan prove this. Others actions recently are a lot more suspect than Hearn.

                  The real question here is why do you tune in to the LDBC, a bunch of race baiters organized in a cult with a cult-like following, if you're a real boxing fan with no agenda?

                  The thing that I like about Hearn is that he keeps his fighters active and that has nothing to do with race and nationality. Something alot of those LDBC guys use to promote and build their channels with. I used to watch them, until I realized this fact. The guys only give certain fighters credit based on nationality and race...and they criticise other fighters based on the same thing.

                    Another thing i like about him is you don't hear fighters saying he ripped them off. He'll lowball you but if you accept the lowball offer you're going to get paid exactly what you were promised. Those other shady promoters turned away a lot of potential fighters to other sports.
