    Spot on. We,re almost away back to the level we we,re at before hearn came into the sport and actually promoted boxing the way it should be promoted.

    Funnily enough it was the same level everyone complained about. It was pretty much a dying sport with a niche market. Hearn played a big part in growing british boxing. We had to pay for it granted. But without that ppv....watch what happens next. Everyone away back to fighting tomato cans till a big fight eventually comes along and in the process most people end up losing interest in boxing again. Your about to see the results of the constant complaining etc.

    Its becoming apparent for british boxing eddies made a mistake moving to dazn. But the complainers pretty much helped with it. Well done we can get even worse undercards and even longer between decent fights and even more losing interest in the sport all over again.

    But wait a minute lets blame the guy who actually promoted boxing...gave us good fights consistantly...got challengers actually fighting each other consistantly etc. It came at a price and eddie did get greedy. But it was always better than the alternative. The alternative was boxing was dying as anything other than a niche market. Hence why warren was about the only serious promoter left.

    The penny will drop eventually.

    To be fair to wilder, Helenius isn’t the worst comeback fight. Way better than seferi, chisora etc.

    Fury fighting chisora is equivalent to when Haye fought his mate a few months ago.

    Hearn is to blame for the demise of World Boxing, the energy crisis and the sky high price of puddings.

    You get it.

    I think people forget what it was like when Ed wasnt around. It was in an awful state. Now? We're getting a nigh-on 40 year old sold as a prospect, £30 ppvs, Tyson fighting in stadiums against anyone who isnt elite, the worst undercards since the Kelly Maloney days...

    Joe Joyce has just turned 37. He was stopped as an amateur twice when he was smaller and less experienced. It's not where you're from, where you've been or what you've done, it's where you're at.

    Yet Joshua's best win was against a 41 year old inactive fighter for the previous 18 months, fought Tickling Takam and Smoking Joe Parker all in a stadium with Box Office fees as well. Check Matchroom undercards for the past 3 years for plenty evidence of excrement.

    Hearn fleeced plenty of mugs time and again.

    You are having a nightmare @Brixton Bomber

    Joyce certainly has done more than enough to deserve a World Title shot after Fury v Usyk and will certainly put up a better fight than Whyte, Joshua and Chisora.

    Agreed, but no one is billing him as the next big thing as per the op. He is the one that needs to get a move on

    He certainly wants to fight Fury and/or Usyk so hope it happens for Joe in the summer at the latest.

    Eddie Hearn could start by not telling all those lies.

    How is it going with the free TV agreement Eddie Hearn announced last summer ?

    I know it's not for a title but I think everyone wants the wilder joyce fight... Just pure curiosity. What a spectacle that could be.

    Equally I think joyce aj would be a great spectacle... Get the feeling Joyce fury would be a stinker
