Comments Thread For: Hearn: We Need To Get Tougher With Fighters; Eradicate Easy Fights For Big Money

This is a no brainer.
If some fighters want warm up fights, tell them to fk off and retire.
Fans don't need to see such crap which should just be done in gyms.

Yes PLEASE!

Starting with YOU Eddie, stop trying to get every fighter to go to DAZN that is what makes them feel entitled to ask for all that money

Bottom Line Eddie Hearn and Al Haymon need stop with the War Of Egos which is how Purses have gotten out of control in the first place. They've made even average fighter feel entitled to big paydays

This ^^^^^ is spot on
Just throwing money away
Can’t blame the fighters although they do hold some culpability

He's risking his life doe. As if the opponent who is overmatched is not risking his, and usually gets barely ten percent of what the showcase fighter gets.

I have to be looking like a prophet right now. Called this years ago. Had fools arguing with me by the 30 supporting Hearns actions. Funny to see some of the Hearn supporters participating in the wrestle mania style drubbing.

In boxing you buy the match up, it does you no good to secure the fighter without ensuring the key matchups will happen.

Hearn stepped off the cliff as soon as he started skittishly avoiding fights, paying too big money to secure branded fighters and then he matched them squeamishly hoping people would just blindly show up.

What would DAZN look like today if Hearn allowed AJ and Wilder to fight. Even worst, fighting bums waters down your talent. Keep Fighting c-leaguers and eventually your talent is fighting at a diminished b- level capacity. Instead of trying to manipulate the audience with internet goons, he should have just asked the fans what do you want to see.

He paid Mikey Garcia 7m to fight Vargas... offered Charlo 7m to fight Andrade....You are part of the problem.

Yeah, when you look at those numbers they are a bit silly.

Fast Eddie has Joseph Parker for one more fight, a stable of decent heavies on Matchrooms books and is looking to launch DAZIN down under in Pasifika where it is safe and pretty much free from C-19.

So what's stopping him from putting on a title eliminator rematch with Parker v anyone seriously up for a challenge while the world is starved of sports entertainment?

String a few decent fights together on a resort in say Fiji, Oz or NZ that the punters will pay to watch and they will.

Is there any reason Whyte/Povetkin, Chisora/Usyk, Joshua/Pulev and Parker/??? couldn't be staged on successive nights in a week down under?

Put up or shut up I say cos talk is cheap!

I like the approach! If Hearn can stick to his approach it will be better for everybody involved. Including me as a fan. Tune up fights do nothing to benefit either fighter. The better of the two don't get tested proper as the lesser skilled has what confidence left beat out of him/her. Hopefully the other promoters feel the same way. As for those fighters who belive in the overhype they recieve, " don't cry for more money. Go earn it!" On the same note there could be more money to dispurse for the up and comers who give us fans a 120% effort in the ring. Good luck to DAZN look forward to more of the type of matchups they have been providing. Also, thanks for the wbss! Wouldn't have witnessed a Inoue vs Donaire masterpiece like we did last December if not for that series. Much appreciated!!👍👍

There's no such thing as an "easy" fight for a fighter.

On the contrary, things are always "easy" for rich daddy's boys like you, Eddie Hearn.

Lmao!!!!!!

That's the problem with boxing. Best are afraid to fight the best and promoters dont care as long as their getting their money. Boxing needs to adopt the ufc system. One champion and one number one contender in every division. Not 8 different champions in one division 🙄
