Eddie gutted

Benn is after the loser - the winner needs to wait a couple of years and have another 3 losses in that period

 

Who?

 

Mad that peoples first thought after a fight is Eddie Hearn. He’s living rent free in peoples heads.

 

Who said that it was their first thought? Why so sensitive about Hearn?

 

If Hearn says he doesnt care about not being promoter for that

Hes lying

 

How much did they pay them though. 20k tickets and a few hundred thousand buys might break even

 

Deja Vu

 

Hearn is the most bitter promoter in the game, no matter how hard he tries to portray himself as the opposite.

Does any other promoter put down fighters and fights they're not involved in as much as Hearn does?

 

When Eddie Hearn was on the top of the world 3 - 4 years ago I remember a person told me that he had said to Eddie Hearn : "Remember the people you meet on the way up you also meet on the way down." A good piece of advice he has unfortunately forgotten.

 

The fact is part of the reason it was so big because it was on Sky.

It’s easy to access.

People want to click a button and watch. Not go through a big hullabaloo

 

To be fair Hearn said he wanted Brook to win but the fight wasn’t what it once was. I think that’s quite honest really.

I do agree he knew full well it would be a box office hit. I was sceptical at first but there is needle and narrative and Sky pushing it. It had to have done well.

 

The casual cohort just hear what they want to hear then press the loot button

 

Eddie Hearn said that Khan vs Brook was not worth the money the boxers demanded and that is a perfectly fair view.

Sky is very aggressive and ready to pay to get the big fights made.

 

He probably said that after he knew they weren’t going with him. Sky can give a PPV upside and limit the risk. Dazn don’t have a proven model to fall back on so they just need to pluck a number and see if it works.
