Hearn IFL interview

I think the split was between sky , match room, and K2. I assume K2 payed hennesy a percentage of their split as it was a K2 promotion

 

The gist of the whole 50 minutes was this: ''Tyson Fury, Amir Khan and any other British fighter not promoted by me must pay me to appear on Sky Box Office''. How anyone can think that is praise worthy I don't know. Does Eddie Hearn get the final say on what Adam Smith has for tea every night too? Terrible deal for everybody not employed by Matchroom.

 

He wasn't asked about boxing fans in the interview

 

It's business alas no one said it has to be fair. Worst hit of all are the fans.

 

:thumbsup

 

He shouldn't need to be, putting on match ups that the fans want and what is best for boxing should be central to everything he does. Instead his only concern is how he can exploit maximal revenue from us for minimal reward.

A 6 year exclusive contract- how can a monopoly like that be good for business? business thrives on competition not exclusion. It gives Hearn far too much power over what fights are permitted to be made and what we are allowed to see.

What level of quality control is there from Sky's perspective?

 

Probably 10. Eddie Hearn is like a broken record, repeating what he's said over and over again. Good salesman though, gotta give him that.

 

Who watches PPV? Who decides if PPV makes money? Who are the boxers performing for? Who are subscribing to Sky? Jesus Christ.....atsch

 

Hearns a disgrace

 

Hearn came across as rather arrogant in that video in my opinion. I agree with the comment above- why is Adam Smith even employed by Sky if Eddie has that much say (effectively a veto) in the network's boxing output.

Hearn's business model could fall apart if Joshua/Brook/Quigg etc get injured- who in the Matchroom stable is not deemed as being a PPV fighter?

 

that doesn't matter if he has no fighters, he has a 6 years contract with Sky that no fighter can fight on Sky or PPV without it going through Matchroom and EH

 

Eubank has said on Twitter that all will be revealed tomorrow in The Sun. He has hinted that Jr. will take the Blackwell fight. Then again he's also stated that he's running from killer whales so who knows.
