Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn Reacts To Kell Brook Questioning His Loyalty

[crisantonio917]

As Mike Tyson said of Don King "He would kill his mother for a dollar" Eddie would do the same for $0.50

[Earl-Hickey]

Kell Brook was one of the Matchroom originals, Eddie Hearn wouldn't be where he is today if not for the likes of Brook. Brook and Darren Barker, the first two who helped establish Matchroom on Sky. Eddie then sold Brook out against Gennady Golovkin, and has treated him as disposable ever since. Anybody who would side with Hearn in this doesn't know chit about Boxing. No loyalty from Hearn here, Brook derailed his career, got his face smashed by Golovkin, just to save a big Hearn/Sky show. Could have had a much more active career, earning similar money than he has, without taking that one for the team. And to think, he done that out of loyalty to Hearn and Sky. And look how they treat him now. Disgusting.

This needs to stop.

When Amir Khan signed to fight Canelo, Kell Brook phoned Eddie Hearn directly and said "Get me Golovkin", a little while later when Eubank Jr pulled out of fighting GGG, Hearn called Brooks team and asked them if they were still interested in fighting GGG, he, his manager and trainer all said yes and signed the fight.

Hearn didn't drag him kicking and screaming, and it's not in Hearn to know better than Brooks manager and trainer what's a safe fight for him. He's a PROMOTER, his job is to get his fighters the fights they want and PROMOTE them for good money.

Brook is the one to blame, his ego and obsession with Khan cost him his career, not Hearn, I find it pathetic when people blame others for their own foolishness.

I agree, not long before that, Brook was negotiating with Jessie Vargas for his WBO title the he moved onto the GGG fight.

It was his own foolishness and the obsession with Khan that was his downfall.

Brook could have been a unified world champion because he would have beat Vargas and could have fought Thurman/Garcia/Pac/Bradley but he wanted to fight GGG instead.

All these times Brook was injured too, pulled out of the Devon Alexander fight twice, Diego Chaves fight too, i’m sure there were more. Makes me wonder whether he needed to pull out because he just wasn’t living the life and wasn’t gonna make weight

$2M? Wow! From what I've read, that's about $5M less than Amir Khan!

How exactly are they treating him unfairly now?

It’s just the cool thing to do to slate Eddie Hearn isn’t it at the moment. I’m surprised he isn’t being blamed for the global pandemic

It was bad management 'Letting Brook fight Golovkin, I have always stated just that'.

Fighters will fight anyone, that is why you need people around you to protect you 'The Golovkin fight was completely unnecessary, and ruined Brook's entire career'.

Brook was unbeaten and had a world title, he had track position in his career 'His overall well-being, should of been of more importance' than entertaining the fans with a ludicrous fight.

The big fights at 147 would of eventually come to him.

Eddie Hearn is a scumbag who NEVER delivered for Kell Brook.. good for Kell to go obtain his worth

When GGG-Brook fight was made, I remember thinking that Brook wants to be KOd by a high profile fighter from a higher weight just to keep the Khan fight dream alive.

Good for Brook, he gets to keep more of his $2m without having to waste money on Edward. Well done Kell

if the fight did 200k buys on sky sports box office, that's £4m generated..
even if brook got 25% of that, it's £1m
thats a lot more than the 10-20% fee he'd pay eddie.
