Comments Thread For: Rested Eddie Hearn 'Ready To Take Over The World'

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Have to agree regarding Okollie, he's about as pleasing to the eye as genital *****.

I misjudged your OP tbh man. I thought you were one of those guys on here who is constantly defending Hearn.

I can see you’re a true fight fan... 👍🏻

Best in the UK maybe, Big fish in a small pond. Had all of his daddy's money and stable to make big fights and sign big fighters

Came over to America with that money AND DAZN money and couldn't do **** because of his awful ****ing attitude.

one of the dumbest posts ive read on here.

I just think it’s daylight robbery. I was really invested in both Groves-DeGale and AJ-Whyte rivalries but I refused to pay for either out of principle. (I actually went to Groves-DeGale though) They were obviously very watchable cards but putting a British title fight on PPV is disgraceful. Warren is equally as guilty with Dubois-Joyce. Compare that to what the Americans get and it’s a vastly inferior product.

I don’t mind shelling out for quality, I’ve spent thousands on Vegas trips but I hate being ripped off.

That’s my main issue with Hearn he’s like a car salesman, trying to sell you a Fiat Punto as a premium motor.

He knows the casuals will eat up his spiel so he constantly exploits that market. I got more texts off my mates about Haye-Bellew than I did about Canelo-GGG for example.

I think Hearn as a business man has done well but as a “boxing man” I think he’s a greedy c*** tbh mate.

Yeah to be fair, I don't think any fan can deny Hearn has enjoyed his time in boxing, especially coming from an accounting background, he's made his money for sure. Pleasure talking with you, you're obviously a boxing man.

You’re right. Eddie built his empire from the ground up in the UK, came to America and took over.


My mistake. What was I thinking?

Yeah Hearn literally has his own fan base of casuals over here.

You now have boxing fans and Sky/Matchroom fans in the UK. It’s f***ing sad really.😂

Bro I haven’t been back home this year and probably won’t this year but will next year. He he seems to have a cult following down south....I didn’t hear his name mentioned once when I was back in Salford. He has a certain type the idolises him

I don’t think Hearn has ever understood that the way he insults people and talks down to fighters who don’t sign over to him doesn’t appeal to American fans. Honestly he is more like a WWE villian manager from the 70s or 80s. His attitude honks, just comes off as a vile nonce. Americans have not taken to him like the British have. Americans are not into the pantomimes like the British are....and Americans are similar to Arabs and Pashtuns in that if you are going to come here you best act like a guest of you want hospitality. John skipper tried to calm him down and even Hearn said he should not have come over so “brash” and then the next week or so he was right back to being a jerk. I don’t think he understands the subcultural divisions here which are more prominent than in the uk. Mexican Americans are an extremely nationalist people and are happy to be represented by Golden Boy with Oscar. African Americans are an extremely proud people with a history that has made them very supportive of their own as well so they are going to be happy to be represented by Haymon and his mob of goodfellas. Arum plays all angles and is a fixture of American boxing for longer than many boxing fans have been alive and before some of their parents have been alive. Hearn should not have come to the USA with the “I’m taking over” mantra along with his legions of trolls attacking people (often racially) all over social media. Had he come over making alliances and wanting to do business and being a shrewd capitalist he would have fared better. One thing is true about the “yanks”.....they don’t want or have a need for kings or dictators and they have a long memory and they remember how their country was established.
Hearn made glaring and classic cultural blunders and it cost him and it cost matchroom USA’s standing with dazn I’m a way it hasn’t at all cost DLH.

quit acting hormonal and just be reasonable, how about that?
Even AJ's loss to Ruiz was MASSIVE globally, it's played a big role in generating mainstream attention. We've seen other boxing cards do better after that fight (i mean across all promotions, this inc Tank Davis, Jermell's fight, Wilder vs Fury etc. You can see there's blatantly a bigger buzz around boxing now than there was before eddie (and by that, im excluding Floyd mayweather)
By far the most stacked cards ive watched over the past couple of yrs have been Eddie's.
However it's going to take time to grow the sport. the UK is smaller and it took him at least 5 yrs..and that's a market he has the best grasp of. Yet you're judging him for less than 2 yrs work in the US where he's changed the entire landscape already.
