Have you had as many IFLTV Hearn interviews as you can take?

    Getting slightly irritated at Kugan's biased towards certain fighters most notably BJS.

    I see Hearn for what he is, a lying, will say anything that suits his agenda, salesman, but I still find his interviews entertaining.

    On one hand I hate the guy, on the other, I actually think I could have a laugh with him in person.

    So to answer your question, as many as they put out.

    Hearn is full of bs but that's his job and he does it well
    Always got time to listen to an interview
    Although I'm tired of the Joshua Wilder blame game (from all parties tbh)

    Hearn is absolutely right when he said Koogan doesn't ask the same kind of questions to Warren.

    He doesn't grill Warren at all. Koogan didn't even try and deny it.

    I don’t watch his interviews with Hearn. He’s obviously excellent at what he does and he’s done fantastically well at marketing the product towards a casual audience...but I don’t have to listen to him thankfully.

    I used to like Hearn's interviews. He was charismatic and funny. However, there's been a notable change in his attitude and demeanour since Wilder/Fury was signed. He thought he held all the aces in the division with his goldenboy and everyone would play to his tune. He hasn't adapted to the competition well at all, coming off bitter and petty. I also think he's exhausted with the insane workload.

    He always said he'd leave the game when he becomes a bitter man. He's there already.

    I see it completely the opposite, he is way more close to the bone with Warren.

    These YT "journalists" are just paid PR shills. Well I say "just", but they are a big part of the reason Hearn and Matchroom's are so enamoured to the casuals while old-school Warren is playing catch-up. The marketing game has changed.

    I don't blame them, their lifeblood is getting interviews which will get views, but there is to my knowledge no single upstanding journalist that covers boxing in the UK now Bunce has gone shill. Everyone's terrified of getting their press passes or backstage access revoked.

    There are some real valid questions that could be asked of fighters and promoters at the moment such as PED's, weight bullying, corrupt judging etc but all we get is a "matey" scenario where anything vaguely leftfield gets the "and let's move swiftly on" treatment.

    I don't watch anything with Nelson or Froch anymore, completely biased and sold their objectivity a while back.

    I know I've referenced it before but the hit piece Steve Bunce did on Mia St John for PED's marked a low in boxing writing IMO.

    I don't mind them, Hearn is OK, I don't like Kugan though.

    Kugan is the problem and others like him, if there is a poor interview then 9 times out of 10 it's because the interviewer is poor.

    Kugan has just got lazy, too friendly and too concerned with views, the clickbait titles to his videos are embarrassing and the bias he shows between different fighters and promoters is just too obvious and ruins his credibility.

    I can't stomach those interviews to be honest. It's all so transparent what the agenda is, and the contrived pretense that it's all off the cuff.

    I have a low tolerance levelsto listening, tolerating bull****, so hearing that worm Eddie Hearn brazenly lie through his teeth whilst the casuals lap it all up without thought, just makes my stomach turn.

    To be honest, I've got bored with most IFL interviews lately. It's got to the point with all of them, IFL, Behind The Gloves, Secondsout, Boxing Social, FightHype, where most interviews are predictable.

    The standard of boxing journalism has really dropped in recent years and the likes of Kugan and Seckback are to blame.
