According to Maloney on BN interview, he say Hearn tried to get to Price through "Other Boxers" (most likely Tony), No doubt he was using his Sky dates as leverage, infact i wouldnt be suprised if SKY had something to do with it all along. They seemed pretty high on Price and i was suprised when they let him go, no doubt they thought eddie would snap him up and bring him back Snake ****.
Steve Goodwin has even said Sky outrightly said to Price they would only show him if he signed with Hearn!
" Sky told him they would only promote Price through Hearn. When FM said no EH then got other boxers to approach DP for him. "
Lol surprised he didn't go, fighting in the same stable as Bellew and Rocky Fielding, fair play for his loyalty to Maloney though. He'll go to Hearn once his contract with BN expires though, it's either that or sign with Fwank and not get paid lol.
And Frank's never done a bad thing . It's going on, Frank's just throwing toys out pram cos he's lost his Sky deal that he cherished so much. Eddie Hearn's success is hurting his rivals, cos they see the new breed coming through.
Hearn will swoop in once contracts are up. He wants a heavyweight. He'll go for Joshua too, as will everyone else.
He should have gone with Hearn. Can you imagine how much hype and viewers Hearn could get together with Price? I'd say by the time he had gotten a title shot it would have been ppv material
The Frank's have been around for years and now see likes of Hearn and Coldwell and co coming through. The new breed are able to out bid them and out hustle them at times. It's certainly ruffled a few feathers. For me it's a extremely promising time for British Boxing, Shame Sky have cut the budget and Maloney and Hatton lost out but at same time they wasn't producing the quality of shows. Hearn so far has, can he do it on a consistent basis is the next test. From what i've been told he's got good boxing people in the set up. Good luck to Hearn and all the newish promotions that are emerging.
