Why does Eddie Hearn keep saying "he's securing his family's future"

Absolutely and a job for life on Sky as the most boring commentator in boxing.

Those fans were poked big time.

 

I can't stand when Hearn and co say Whyte won't fight for 400k etc, it's obscene but obviously he is right and tons of muppets are happy to pay £20 to see the likes of Dilian Whyte and Chisora fight. The problem is PPV for saying Joshua vs Klit, Mayweather vs Canelo, is justified but not for the way Hearn has used it and is using it, it is just being used to give fights ridiculous pay days and obviously him even more cash

 

Look at Fraud - can pump a high end escort for every second of his life left, can virtually buy anything he wants and will still never sped 90% of his earnings.

People starving in the world yet this greedy little fooker still sucks money out of pockets - how much does the fooker want?

 

When you're saying 'the way Hearn has used it' what are you referring to that is specifically related to Hearn as opposed to other promoters?

 

Just off the top of head, Hearn has used PPV more the last few years than anyone else. Hearn is using it for the likes of Whytes, Chisora, Haye, Bellew, Brook etc, I have no problem using PPV for the super fights but Hearn has made it that x is a PPV fighter, so x versus a no-one is automatically PPV

It's brilliant marketing but staggering at the same time

 

But that's not really 'just' Hearn is it?

Warren had fights on PPV like Harrison v Rogan, Khan v Salita and Brook v Jennings. They make the likes of Usyk v Bellew and Whyte v Parker look massive in comparison.

 

He is/was, was more just going on recent times, wasn't the Harrison fight about ten years ago, Khan 9/10 years ago and Brook ages ago too

 

But they seem to suggest that Warren, were he in Hearn's position, would be putting even worse fights on PPV.

People act like its new, but I'd rather pay PPV money for the likes of Bellew Usyk and Whyte Parker than the shockers Frank deemed PPV worthy.

 

Jesus Christ mate are you obsessed?

 

But this doesnt work if the demand isnt there. The model only works if people buy the fights and that has nothing to do with Hearn. He can sell the fight, market the fight all he wants but he doesnt make anyone press the red button on their remote.

 

Warren brought PPV to the UK. Originally he followed the King model of the time, which was packing cards with multiple title fights with his top fighters. As his stable declined and he became heavily dependent on Hamed, the quality of the cards gradually deteriorated. As far back as Hamed-Hardy, which was interesting only in regards to how many rounds it would last, PPV had ceased to be just about super-fights. There were more blatant examples to follow; Khan-Prescott featuring two unproven prospects was a watershed moment.

Hearn may have taken this model to new heights (or depths), but it was the direction of travel set by Warren long before Hearn got involved in the sport. You can't attribute it all to Warren either; once Cedric Kushner put fecking Jessie Ferguson-Obed Sullivan on PPV in the states anything was fair game.

 

Not at all, just pointing out the obvious hypocrisy of people when they target one promoter with supposedly doing damage to the sport/fans by putting fights on PPV whilst seemingly giving a pass to a different promoter responsible for far worse PPV main events.

 

You joined here in November and yet you've quickly managed to gauge "people's hypocrisy" on here towards certain promoters.

Explain to me how that is possible?

 

It's possible to tell someone is being hypocritical if you've known them for five minutes.

 

Someone being the operative word.

Yet you're familiar with several people's views on the topic as if you already know their history.

New posters who have just joined, rarely are able to gauge regular posters historical views on any topic, unless of course you're the exception?
