    While he's offering deals to mfers. Hell man Eddie is the one guy who's trying to make things happen. Most power players just seem to sit on across the street fights.

    I mean the truth of the matter is NO ONE is gonna let their big name guy fight on another platform so everyone is doing the same sh^t with that strategy.

      He talked very good about mexican boxing

      At least Eddie knows who are the Kings of boxing (afroamerican and mexican boxing)

        Hearn knows most boxing fans are morons. Hell, he probably has read these forums for verification. Therefore he knows it's smart not to alienate the LDBC crowd because they're the biggest morons of them all.

          They don't complain because those "lowball" purses are multiple times more than they've ever been paid before.

            Eddie will literally spend HOURS talking to EVERYBODY no matter if they have a big youtube following or a small one so yeah I have to give him respects for that for sure. Never gets upset over questions nor do he run from tough questions, he takes on all questions even from guys who hate on him daily on youtube...

              The Ali Act was put on to allow fighters more access to fights. Not access under the whims or self interests of broadcasters and promoters.

                Hearn has never said that anybody has to sign with him to fight one of his fighters. He has made mutiple fights by working with other promoters, including PBC promoters.

                  The MAA was to stop Don King from being Don King. Idk that they fully thought it through like you're suggesting. I've said numerous times it shoulda been named the Don King Act.

                  Its very limited in its power & the language is vague. Afaik no one has ever been successfully deemed to have broken any MAA rule &/or been punished in relation to it.

                    There are many excellent Mexican and Afroamerican boxers but they are not kings anymore than any others. They lose fights to others all the time. Donaire just KOed an African American with one punch this weekend and Mexicans and African Americans lose fights to Asians and Europeans every weekend. They win some and they lose some just like all the others. Boxing is about the individual boxer and how good he is whatever his race or country is. The best boxer could just as easily be a white guy like Loma, an Asian like Pacquiao or part Asian and part white like GGG as a Mexican or an African American. No one or two groups are the kings. That's nonsense.

                      Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer. A lot of these LDBC are dumbos. Hearn always make them look like idiots, like this time one of them claimed he scored the Wilder/Fury fight to Wilder, and then proceed to give out a scorecard that meant Fury won by two points, without even knowing that he is making himself look like an uneducated moron, Hearn simply said to him “That means you had Fury winning” he then had to backtrack again like the dumbass that he is.
