    Was Sky good for football and darts?

    If you think so, you'll also think Eddie's good for boxing..

    Yep, yet Waren is always getting took to court for not paying his fighters.

    That **** he pulled with Calzaghe was a disgrace, made up all his fighters left his sorry ass.

    Everything Eddie does and says, Barry did and said years ago. Barry is legend whereas Eddie is a tit.

    Remember, Matchroom were putting on big shows and big fights 20/25 years ago.

    Eddie Hearn exploits fighters more than any other promoter. It's all about the short-term. He can put his fighter in tough fights and send them abroad because he has most of them on short contracts and fight-by-fight deals.

    I've never heard one fighter complain about the way in which he operates?

    It's far too early to say.

    I mean Barry Hearn's boy has come in with a spoon in his mouth, but time will tell if he can develop fighters into world champions instead of just nicking them.

    Fighters get well looked after payed on time no cantractural hassles and they are not protected , Ricky Burns Darren Barker Gavin Rees have all been victims of facing the best put infront of them etc etc and Eddies not scared to take fighters abroad neither unlike Fisheyes

    No.

    Frank's not scared to deliver home advantage for his fighter because he see's the bigger picture should his man win. Frank knows it's costing a fortune, but he'll get it back down the line if the win happens.

    Eddie doesn't work like that because like his Daddy he's got an accountants eye. If he looks at it and it doesn't work then he won't do it. Boxing isn't like that though, you have to gamble sometimes to do whats best for your fighter. Hearn's all about bending over backwards for Sky and easy money, but as I said that's not doing best for your fighter, it's making money with less problems, but that's not what boxing's about.
