Comments Thread For: Hearn: It is Heartbreak For The Sport, Particularly The Fighters

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Eddie Hearn says that he has a back-up date to stage Anthony Joshua's fight with Kubrat Pulev in July if it cannot go ahead on June 20. Earlier this week, Hearn's Matchroom group scrapped all its UK dates in March and April due to the coronavirus pandemic. Shows in Newcastle and Doncaster have been pushed back to June, while the March 28 card planned for the O2 Arena in London has been cancelled, with the scheduled top of the bill of David Avanesyan v Josh Kelly likely to reappear on one of Matchroom's pay-per-view cards.

Good point about medical services not being available as they are and will be concentrating on the chinavirus. Which is going to stuff any sport which requires medical services to attend no matter how small the gathering. Oh woe is me. And you?

[rudy]

what the greedy ***** needs to do is put two shows into one for those ppv show for example whyte vs potevkin add chisora vs usyk.

Otherwise we gonna be paying a lot or not paying whatsoever as there will plenty of fighting sports to chose

They need to forget about all public sports events for a year - just put on fights on PPV or on TV.

I get you won't make as much money but fighters need and want to fight. I'd rather be a fighter training for an event I KNOW will go ahead than one which probably won't.
