    The point I was trying to make is Boxing has changed dramatically over the last decade and where all the big fights were previously mainly stateside, we now have a situation where these fights are now happening over in UK where we can see the best fighters. Hearn is a big reason for this change and we need to appreciate it a bit more rather than hating him all the time.

    It’s more the US Boxing scene has gone to the toilet. Which isn’t good for boxing. You need the big American Networks like HBO in the Game.

    Las Vegas is still the most lucrative and grand stage for boxing, Joshua needs to crack America if he wants to become a billionare like Barry Hearn said

    Other than Golovkin and Spence (which was a mandatory fight), what big name US or US-based boxers has Hearn brought over in recent years?

    Calls Usyk - Bellew the "fight of the year" :lol:

    It will be an extremely one sided spanking. Mark my words.

    Also, after Frank Warren offered £120,000 pounds for Buglioni to fight Yarde, Eddie says "he'd have to offer a lot more than that" :lol:

    in what world is Buglioni worth more than 120 grand ffs

    I think Buglioni is a decent ticket seller, he always has a loud following at his fights. But I agree, he's lucky to be paid a £100,000 purse after getting staunched in one round.

    That was early 2014. He wasn’t a big name then was he ?

    Lol Crawford was not a big name and again I believe he was Burns’ mandatory. It would not have cost a lot of money to bring him over for an easy win against Burns.

    That is such a ridiculous comment. He has navigated him to 4 belts in 21 fights and earned him about 50 mil in the process. If AJ felt that damaged by him he would start his own promotion company and he now has the clout to do that with ease.

    Hearn says Wembley won't be sold out. Blames 'Coach packages' :lol:

    Why can you buy tickets outside the coach packages?

    https://www.stubhub.co.uk/select-ti...fetynet&qith=4f99bd497cba18cd966cd5d8c0e4f17a

    Will be interesting to see how many are in there on Saturday. Cant lie I am surprised the tickets have been slow to move but need to know how many sold.

    April will be interesting but I think announcing April was probably a mistake as it meant people could just wait until the April show instead of the Povetkin fight.

    The unentertaining fighter comment is laughable- even when Fury was on Channel 5 his fights were very entertaining on the whole.

    Hearn needs to stop making such statements especially when his undercards are so weak.
