Eddie Hearn should be ashamed of himself

PPV is not new to sky sports subscribers.
PPV boxing has been around since 1996.

Now without ppv I would like to know who puts up the money for many of the fights you see on ppv. TV networks do not pay enough in rights fees.

Now the most important thing is one is perfectly able to refuse to buy a PPV. Don't like it don't buy it, it's that simple.

 

I do always find it funny when people get upset about how certain boxers talk and act around each other.
They are men who are about to step inside the ropes and try to beat the other one up until he physically can not carry on, it's not tea party time....

 

People need to get a grip when they talk about this being a "gentleman's sport". The vast majority of the fighters who sacrifice themselves in the ring for our amusement come from nothing backgrounds. They are street guys. Chisora and Whyte have come from nothing, they come from tough unprivileged backgrounds and they make a living from sanctioned violence. And you expect them to behave like saints days before the fight when they are in kill mode?

Get a grip. They come from a totally different world to most people here. Let them do their thing and entertain us. All these goodie board members need to chill the **** out.

 

Totally agree. Most boxers have come from tougher backgrounds than say golf or show jumping.

Its never been a gentleman's sport and never will be. Just look at all the characters involved.

Doesn't even make me raise an eyebrow this build up. It's needle between two 'road men'

If you want gentleman conduct watch bowls or polo

 

I don't see an awful lot of fights like that these days, to be honest.

 

Dereck Chisora comes from a relatively posh family, went to public schools in Harare and in London.
Lives in leafy posh Flinchley or Hampstead and has done since he moved here.

Yes, you're right, that's a different background to the mine, and most people here.

 

Lmao...exactly...

I'm from a rough background, came from nothing etc. Fighting for a living or not it is pathetic for grown men to get so incensed by being "disrespected". A bit of needle I get...but Chisora is simply a bully and does all the tough guy **** to dave face and keep up appearances...above all that he seems a nice guybat times...bullys are all insecure. Whyte just comes across as a gangster wannabe thug, thinks it's cool to have people think he's some tough guy out of the ring. It's all pathetic.

They're both big blokes and professional boxers...they shouldn't feel the need to be seen as a tough guy out of the ring...of course they can handle themselves ffs...

Fights at press conferences, fighters losing their rag, I get it and it does add something to the fight...but these two are just a couple of clowns wanting to play the big I am when they're a fight away from being heavyweight champion of the world.

These guys aren't like Mike Tyson when he lost it with lennox...that was genuine trauma, anger and sadness coming through, that guy was for real. That's the definition of a tough upbringing on the streets.

These two are just pathetic...

Del "I haven't lost a street fight since I was 9", grow up you twat...seriously...not to mention he took a pasting from Haye in Germany...

 

Of course you're right.
It surprises me that people buy into this childish behaviour as some sort of product of a "street" upbringing. In fact, it's more often a product of being spoiled and indulged due to their athletic talents.

Even the case of Mike Tyson, who had a genuinely f--ked up background in every respect (and an extremely unusual one when he was saved from the streets and trained for championship), admits he was a selfish, spoiled, ego-maniac for his entire career.

 

You can be brought up in a high class family and still have a rough background by getting into the wrong crowd.

Point is it's not a gentleman's sport. Look at the all time greats of the sport. Scumbags everywhere. Wife beaters, petty criminals, murderers... If you want to watch a gentle sport **** off and watch golf or bowls.

Nobody was hurt from the press conference fracas not was anyone hurt on the Gloves are Off set. Big deal. It's like when that journo tried to make a name for himself at the Fury-Chisora 2 press conference by reprimanding Fury for swearing. Get a grip ffs. You are watching men bludgeon the **** out of each other and you are offended by swearing and table flipping.

Mark Tibbs was the most out of order there. The fighters are in kill mode, he should know better as a trainer.

 

gear user?? he used a pre workout supplement called Jack3d before it had a change of ingredients due to the discovery of DMAA.
Countless other athletes made the same mistake, they had their sentences reduced or quashed because the ingredients list didn't state a substance that was actually in it.
For some reason Whyte's was upheld.

 

I don't thinks it's a gentleman's sport either. But that doesn't mean it's okay for them to constantly act like children and morons.

I don't see the point of it all. I can see blokes kicking off and bouncers bundling in to control them in thousands of pubs and night-clubs all over the country, any weekend. It's hardly a novelty. But at least in most situations there's alcohol involved to explain such behaviour.

"Nobody was hurt" ..... well, that just shows how pathetic it all is. These big men and boxers, bouncers and trainers, flying off the handle, throwing objects and threats, and no one was even hurt !
Just a load of childish noise and silliness then.

 

Childish maybe. But from Chisora's point of view he felt he was being issued tacit death threats and on that basis he lost the plot. It is what it is.

 

This. Sky are con-artists, plain and simple.

There has never been a time in my lifetime where..

1) Sky has cost so much and you get so little for your money (and let's be honest: It's like a f*cking montage "Best of Johnny Nelson" - not knocking him, but I could find all of his fights on Youtube ANYTIME I WANT TO. Same with "Golfing Greats" etc. What's the point? Where's the real stuff?)

2) The amount of people leaving them has been so high.

We should not have to pay for a fighter like Joshua against these kind of fighters.

Another thing: He's constantly having "learning fights" yet he is a world champion! ("It's the last one, promise") It's one or the other. Either take the stabilisers off and put him in there with world class fighters and make him defend that belt against the best (that, I don't mind paying for) or keep these "learning fights" to a regular bill which is INCLUDED as part of the monthly subscription.

It's a joke on ALL fronts, I'm afraid.

Wilder
Wlad
Fury
Haye
Pulev
Povetkin
Parker
Ruiz
























Molina.

See how that looks?

 

If everyone who used the phrase 'I'm gonna kill him' had actually meant it, the human race would be extinct by now...
