Comments Thread For: Hearn "Disgusted" Government Didn't Support Grassroots Boxing

[thack]

Grass roots boxing does need a leg up in these troubled times where people are losing their livelihoods and some their lives.Small promoters can not put club saving amatuer shows on at the moment , they do need help.For Eddie Hearns part ,this man is nothing but a silver spoon feed hypocrite who continues to pay himself and his cash greedy named fighters massive money and has the cheek to put on a fight that nobody wants to see for a hiked up fee of £25 , this idiot gives nothing back to boxing , if he thinks different then why doesn't he help with his many millions?

If the sport of boxing wasn't corrupted so much by bent promoter's & all the alphabelts perhaps boxing would have been recognised as an elite sport.

The government cannot trust the politics of the sport we love at any level & i can't blame them.

Support the tbrb. 1 name 1 face 1 title. Clean up our sport.

Why don’t you support it then Eddie?

Matchroom boxing could easily finance the various amateur competition.

Hearn doesn’t give a f*** about grassroots boxing cause there’s no money in it.

The government should look into that fixed fight between Lartey and Wardley.

Yes they should. And yes he is right.
However, he is also being a massive hypocrite as well.

I see no hypocrisy in this particular situation. Enlighten me or stop spewing baseless name calling. Many fans apply unrealistic expectations to boxers as well as promoters. I guess it could be because they don't have much insight into either.

So the guy who lives an incredible lifestyle and is incredibly rich off the back of boxers is going to chuck a few quid the way of the grassroots clubs to keep them afloat, right?
Right?

Oh. Maybe he should keep quiet then.

Yes they should. And yes he is right.
However, he is also being a massive hypocrite as well.

i agree.

why doesnt hearn pay out of his own pocket if it's such a big deal?

Like $50 mil? What is a few quid to you? He should not keep quiet, if anything, he and other promoters should have made a fuss about it before government made this elitist, privileged decision. Hearn is 100% right. And there are so many rich people loving horses in the UK, shouldn't they spare a few quid on their favorite entertainment? Where else would they wear those fancy hats?
