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

[Ake-Dawg]

I dismissed what he said because he was talking bollocks.

If you don't think there are people, British people included, that do not like PBC because it is the brainchild of a black man either your head is in the sand or you're one of those people. Racism, nationalism, and other cultural biases exist in boxing and this site brings light to it daily. Doesn't disqualify all negative opinions but does explain quite a few.

I think Hearn is right. DAZN wants Canelo vs GGG 3 ASAP but Canelo doesn't want it. I don't know if Oscar shares the same sentiment as his fighter but I do think they're having to explain to DAZN WHY they don't want GGG next.

You got that right anyway.

You PBC fans always let yourselves down by bringing it back to being a racial issue.

Yeah can’t like the n-word be in charge of boxing in the USA now can we....our grandfathers would roll over in their graves....

How is this in anyway racial? Why go there? Sounds like saying that regardless of the ethics of how someone runs a sport, being white just makes you bad and that’s it, c’mon man, let’s get above that, Don King was one of the most dishonest managers in history, your telling me it’s okay cos he was black? Mike Tyson would beg to differ.

A little harsh but some good points. It's a great business model to take the least amount of risk and make the most money but this is boxing not a fortune 500 company. I was at a race track last night and one of the winning drivers said " without the fans we would not have the sport". Well said indeed!

You can’t take anything away from Haymon’s business prowess, he was really the architect of the richest boxer in history and has pulled some master strokes in match making. But, when it comes down to it,
boxing is being attacked on all fronts by competition and I love the sport, I don’t want to see boring contest and lacklustre undercards destroy the little following it has. We need the big names to fight, they want to fight, let’s let them fight.

I'm not even talking about that. Obviously your competition isn't looking out for you. That is what is it & outta Eddie's hands.

What I am saying is Eddie isn't doing HIMSELF any favors with how he conducts himself with the gossipy, snarkiness & sh^t talking people he ultimately wishes he could do business with. That breeds more contention & drifting away from wanting to do business with you. If you want & need to work with more people you don't operate like this.

If that's the case, all of the american promoters must be similar to Hearn cuz none of them are doing business together.

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

How weird is this? Fans of PBC and fans of Matchroom fighting.

Personally I like Eddie Hearn. I just say to him keep doing what you're doing. If people take things personally that's not his problem.. have a laugh enjoy it. Don't see what he did wrong here. Just gave an honest interview and then had some banter with Oscar.

Remember when people here accused him of spiking Big Baby Miller. They were serious too!

[MC Hammer]

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.

yet only 45 people probably watched that fight on the app. But people talked about it on a boxing forum so it had to be the bigger event lol. Nobody watched that bull****

It had more interest from boxing fans is what i said. Not that it had more viewers. It's amazing how so many people using a forum can't read. Boxing fans are the most important people to attract if you're having boxing events, you'd think any idiot would know that, not you though.
