The Great Edward Hearn - the greatest promoter the world has ever seen?

Er, Wazza brought Kosta over? And many more?

Eddie's feather in the cap is Wembley. Wazza is still leagues ahead if him, historically speaking.

 

Lord Hearn of Brentwood. Has a nice ring to it.

 

I agree, this and Wembley show he's no mug

 

Eddie is the man, whether you like him or not. Changed the whole game in the UK.

 

Agreed. ****** is done, the past.

 

wouldlnt go as far as to say he is the greatest promoter the world has ever seen

Anyone could have done that Wembley show. It literally fell on his lap.

He deserves more credit for taking domestic clashes like Campbell - Coyle and Eggington - Skeete out of the glum Leisure Centres and into the Arenas. Makes the sport look much better and presumably the fighters make a better wage from it.

 

Dame Edwina Hearn coming soon

 

Agree

George Groves sold the fight not Edwina Hearn

 

Eddie Hearn has massively changed boxing for the better, all those Friday fight night at the leisure centres in front of about 500 people, if fish eyes was still in charge that's all u have on sky I mean look at the show in Wales terrible who's the wbo lightweight champ fighting again it's 🙈💩

 

His interview that destorys Eubank Sr is a work of art.

 

I don't think the Cardiff show backs up your argument! It's a great card!

 

Agree with that. I much prefer sky with one promoter exclusive rather than what we had before. Before we just a Mish mash of shows to try and fill the dates on the calendar. It didn't work and at least Matchroom tend to have fights in decent venues and more important venues which sell tickets.

Hearn makes mistakes as does every promoter but anyone who thinks his clueless is clearly biased. The guy knows how to sell fights and has come a long way from prizefighter. I don't think anyone back then believed Matchroom would go on to dominate British boxing and the be the biggest promotion in the UK.
