Barry Hearn smiles: When I was running boxing we were slave traders

[Smash]

jeez i know he looks old but.....

[DaNeutral.]

Even though we know for a fact he had nothing to do with the Ortiz situation you're still blaming him. Why?

Because this is his doing. Ive just told you. I dont know who you are blaming, a mix up? Or are you blaming Hearn and Joshua? He does not want Luis Ortiz taking that fight and he has got his wish.

[Deus]

Looks like an unfortunate thing to say when sat next to a black fighter; though it's undoubted that he would have said the same thing had it been a white fighter next to him as the comment was clearly not about race but about how promoters work this day in age in comparison to how they used to. Just unfortunate thing to say when referencing Whyte at the time all things considered..

I do hope people aren't so sensitive as to be outraged by that; though I don't doubt some will use at as ammunition in their war against Eddie Hearn.

What in the f#ck!?!?!!!!??!?!!

This is one of those racist grandpa moments caught on camera. Wtf Eddie. You need to reign in your daddy before he sh^ts himself & starts accusing Conor Benn of stealing his wallet.

How was it racist?

Also, not to you directly, but why does this clip appear so heavily edited? Literally doesn't even finish words.

So we know Haymon wasn't involved in the negotiations. But it's still Haymon's fault.

Go take your meds

Sounded like some sh^t an old racist guy would say to me.

If Barry is racist or not idk. But he's quacking like a duck is all I know so I'm comparing him to a duck.

LMFAO. That mfer crazy as sh^t. He's gonna be in the Lounge blaming school shootings on Haymon in a month or two I bet.

[Jax teller]

Yes I am. I like it to be out in the open. Not whispered.

The other day when Arum said Haymon is telling his fighters don't deal with the white man I said even if he is telling them that he isn't wrong because ***s & Whites have always exploited black & latino fighters. Barry is proving my point.

lol that’s a nice save. Good rebuttal. I agree with this comment.

You benders trying to make a what appears to be heavily edited clip, to be about yourselves, when it's clearly a guy recognising how badly they treated ALL fighters back in the day. SMH people like you just want to be divided.

It's a foot in your mouth moment and not the best choice of words but it isn't a reference to him actually owning candyland or something.

[Motorcity Cobra]

That part!

I don't think he was being racist at all. He was being refreshingly honest

There is nothing edited in that clip. Why didn't you quote my comment above when i changed my mind after watching it a few times?

So what, say the word slave and that's racist nowadays is it?
