Idk if he is or not but he's a great position right now. He can basically make deals (and has) with any promoter out there and has his fighters on Sky Sports AS WELL AS HBO. Doesn't get any better than that.

The guys absolutely bossin it against promoters in the UK. Warren, mcguigan and Hatton cant hold a candle aginst him right now. They couldnt even do it a couple years back when they all teamed up trying to force matchroom to play their ball-game.
He talks bollocks, he makes mismatches, hes a ****ney wide-boy essex wannabe we love to hate but theres no denying, he has an awful lot of sway with promoters in the US and he ****s all over old fish-eyes and and the 2nd tiers in the UK.

what happened to richard shafer? thought he was making his comeback
Eddie Hearn is basically the "Richard Schaefer" of Sky Sports; given the TV access, Hearn has done a stellar job in putting forward the type of events that capture the attention of his home market.

Not a chance
He great at promoting and has a great base to do so but his fights aren't all that
Froch / Groves = great domestic fight
Brook / Gennady /Gavin/ 2 no names that I forget at the moment
Joshua / Whyte / Martin / Breazeale
Corolla / Linares
Bellew / Makabu / Flores
Selby / Gradovich
Eubank / O'sullivan
Some decent domestic fights but how many of those are great fights best vs the best? None , he just has a great platform with sky and a great fanbase
If you put any other promoter worth a damn and gave him a sky deal they'd be able to make as good if not better fights and be just as sucessful

Boxing in Britain is unquestionably in a much stronger, healthier state now than it was five years ago, and that has directly coincided with Hearn's emergence.Last edited by Ham Porter; 10-08-2016, 04:55 PM.

He has a strange way of working too with some fighters.
The likes of Brook, Bellew and a few others actually have no contract with him at all. I think only Joshua has a contract with him for X amount of fights and maybe he does with fighters coming up, but more established older ones like Bellew, they just have a gentleman's agreement kind of thing.

If you're born in Essex and your Dad is part of East London history how does it make you a wannabe?.
