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

[Inspired]

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.

america is a country where JAMES CORDEN is a far far far bigger star (regardles of area of entertainment) than Deontay Wilder.
you can't talk about what 'americans' like based off what a small youtube racist cult thinks of that white man.
ive watched a lot of eddie's interviews in the US and he's certainly appreciated and making waves.

As for being brash/rude, with WHO? wilder and jermall charlo? leonard ellerbe? have you seen those guys? they're living in cloud cuckoo land.
I don't see him hating most of the time, it's only with a select group of al haymon followers. Like when he asked jermall 'i thought you were your own boss'.
furthermore, the best of what the US has produced in boxing, has always been loud and brash. Whether it was Ali, Tyson, Hopkins, Mayweather..
i don't remember americans being polite little mistresses.
lol Bob arum is like 'everyone should boycott the pbc'
eddie is more like 'im happy to work with anyone'

as for even bringing up pashtun and talking about respecting the culture..the pashtun cant even get along with tajiks and hazara, you people absolutely hate each other and have a never ending history of massacres and r4pe of each other's women.
you're the last one who can talk about respecting cultures.

also are you aware of the history of Goldenboy (inc Schaeffer) in all out going after Eddie Hearn when they tried to take over the UK market?
eddie's attitude was in large part down to those very people.

The last time Eddie wanted to tale over the world, AJ was being beat down in New York. AJ won't be in NY any time soon.

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.

You’re sticking up for a promoter you’ve never met. Who’s being hormonal?

Not even going to read the rest of your BS.

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.

Some people don't seem to understand that Hearn is a boxing promoter, not a boxing journalist, which proves what a good promoter he is.

But it riles up the council estate chavs who worship the ground he walks on

The council estate chavs of England worship Eddie Hearn .... and they show their love by booing and jeering every time he opens his mouth at one of his shows ...

i'm not blinded by some silly sense of loyalty to him though am i? if i thought he was doing a **** job, i would say that too.

the fact is, from the days of GBP dominating, a sub-culture of black supremacists were pissy and then made Al haymon into their messiah.
So you're hating on Eddie Hearn, perceiving him as the competition..even though competition is good. Competition via AJ/Whyte/Eddie hearn has been the biggest reason why the profiles of Wilder have grown. in fact the competition between matchroom, top rank and pbc, has brought a lot more attention to the sport, in a good way.

He's stirred the pot and that's benefitting everyone. For example, would fox or espn have invested what they'vedone, were it not for dazn?
you should be happy as it's all good for US boxing...
yet you're acting hormonal over him.

[Apollo7]

Never really liked the guy, likes the camera a bit too much imo but he's not too bad. He has done a good job as a promoter up until this point. I wish him well.
