That's bollocks. Total bollocks.
Barry Hearn is known for being a money first, ethics second **** talker.
When he was promoting Eubank Sr, the vast majority of his 'world title defences' were soft cherry picks against guys that were manipulated up the rankings to justify them being picked for Eubank.
What about the time Hearn clearly had a word in the judges ear for the Eubank Benn rematch, so it ended a draw, and they both avoided going to Don King.
And what about recently - when Hearn said in an IFL interview that he wasn't bothered if Joshua never fought Wilder - even though the boxing world was calling out for the fight (this was before the Ruiz loss) - as long as Joshua kept the money coming in.
Barry Hearn is full of ****, all about the pound note, and the man that Eddie Hearn learned everything from.
