Really don't know why people are hating on this guy. He always seems to talk sense.

Sometimes he talks sense.

Like his claim ref was counting and Whyte was about to get up at 8. There was no count and Whyte was out cold.

Expect Sky and Hearn to keep ****ing out more in house shyte
PPv's for £20 and he's right the fight of the year is on PPv in the UK but for half the price of the shyte Hearn and sky are charging.
The three PPv's Hearn is charging £20 for are ridiculous Joshua is at 9/1 ON in one ! Usyk is 7/1 ON in another and Whyte has just been cleaned out by a faded fighter of 41 years of age in the other.
I was all for Hearns fight camp and applauded his efforts and even bought the fight just to keep things ticking but he's back to his bollocks again and I won't be sponsoring him any further!

Bob Arum, the common denominator for all drama in boxing!

Someone counted and Whyte was down for about 36 seconds in the recovery position

Eddie said he was up at seven

Again says more about the UK fan and networks. No market for Loma-Teofemo, but have no problem with Povetkin-Whyte.

A lot of these fans are football fans who go to the night of boxing for the piss up and really know very little about how they are being mugged by the likes of Hearn and Sky .Like you say Povetkin v Whyte PPv is a joke but the idiots will buy and Hearn knows this .....and he will keep doing this why these idiots do that.

Hearn has some good points here, but at the end of the day, you can't argue with the fact that the British TV networks are putting some shoddy events on PPV.

Somebody give Arum a pacifier and a rattle and change his diaper. What a cry baby.

Arum will be even more irritated when he learns Hearn revealed that he intended Loma vs Talkafimo to be PPV not free on espn.
