Comments Thread For: Hearn Explains Recent Online Exchange With De La Hoya

[Alan Smithee]

Not understanding the broad generalization wrt Haymon and PBC. Seems that over the last 3 years PBC has given the fans more competitive fights than any other outfit. Did Haymon protect Mickey, Mell Charlo, Hurd, Porter, Pacman, Thurman? Did he protect Ruiz from Joshua? Haymon doesn't care about boxing or boxing fans yet he gives fans free boxing and puts more money in the fighters pockets wear it belongs.

Most of the complaints come from brits and Matchroom fans. I am not always thrilled with PBC cards but that goes for every promoter. Haymon looks out for his "top" fighters probably more than any promoter but that sometimes prevents the best fights. There is a fine line especially in boxing. Would love to see the Charlo's step up the competition. Not totally Haymon's fault but it is what it is!

Which card last night got more boxing fans talking? Matchroom's or PBC's?

Matchroom has put on the far more competitive cards this year. Stop being so biased against Matchroom.

PBC. Most people didn't even know dazn had a card

Interesting. My question......who is charlo supposed to fight to "step up the competition??" We have canelo not even mentioning his name, and ggg already blatantly ducked him. Why isnt anyone calling ggg out for ducking charlo and making excuses as to why charlo doesnt "deserve" to fight ggg??? Also.......what horrible pbc cards did haymon put on this year???? Just curious.

Hearn should be diplomatic. Boxing on DAZN would be down the shitter without Golden Boy and Canelo.

110% real talk

[MC Hammer]

Being free doesn't justify their horrible cards and mismatches.

Name 1 card better than Hurd-Williams. Harrison-Charlo was set too. No dazn card has been worth the $20

Then why has the Matchroom fight thread got almost twice as many posts than PBC's? Idiot. Even the PBC fangirls were in the Matchroom thread instead of watching PBC.

Typical nationalist response. Next you will argue that crumpets are better than english muffins! Every promotional company put's on good and bad cards. I was at the STAR boxing event in the Catskill's Friday night. Was it the greatest thing since sliced bread? No but it was decent and the venue and seating were excellent.

Finally someone else sees the nationalist angle from these British fans

I'd have to disagree that Haymon takes care of his "Top" guy more than any other promoter in Boxing. Canelo is the highest payed boxer at the moment and one of the highest payed athletes in the world and he is with Golden Boy.

Eddie going to learn to stay in his own damn lane. This ain’t Britain.

OG thinking and definitely OG talkin....

PBC shows are usually free. They aren't charging me a monthly subscription like DAZN.

But this thread is about Hearn vs De La Hoya.

The quality of Matchroom's DAZN cards is relevant to that discussion. PBC's crap cards aren't relevant.

The brits tried to bring PBC into it so that the two sides of dazn fans can have another group to bash....pathetic attempt at a red herring. The brits want Hearn to be in charge in the USA so very badly
