The Great Edward Hearn - the greatest promoter the world has ever seen?

Anybody could have done Wembley? FW with the heavyweight world champion (Fury) can't sell out a venue a quarter the size of Wembley. So I think Hearn deserves full credit for selling out a 80K venue.

Hearn made the first fight that lead to the second fight so I don't see how he can't take credit. 80K at Wembley is no easy nights work, that also generated a lot of money and was promoted excellently.

 

The public are mugs but not thick enough to fork out obscene prices for the Fury and Klit rematch stinker.

I was going until I received the email from eventim offering a refund and tickets were promptly sent back last week.

Main reasons:

1. The face to face on Boxnation put me off the fight as Fury clearly cannot be ****d with this fight or boxing stating he is only interested in the money.
2. The injury was avoidable picked up by jumping a barrier at a music festival mid way through his training camp FFS.
3. Seen bouncing about drunk on same ankle injury following N. Ireland and England in France.


If that is his attitude then he can stick the fight up his arris

 

Eddie is dominating the boxing scene in the U.K, and you have a certain promoter that always wants to have a pop, and my advice would be concentrate on your own promotional company and see it as healthy competition and stop wasting time sounding bitter and twisted in every interview.

 

Not for me. Controversy Creates Cash and Froch Groves 2 had plenty of it. Unless your saying that he gave foster a brown envelope before the first fight then for me as I say it fell on his lap.

The young upstart underdog (already with a reasonable profile ) batters the Champion (universally recognised at this point as the British P4P #1) before getting absolutely done over. Media Savvy underdog then goes on a rampage which is picked up by various leading media outlets like Sky Sports News which absolutely lap it up. Gold Dust.

WWE scripts its storylines to achieve that very goal and it couldn't have done a better job than the way the Froch Groves pieces fell.

****** doesn't promote Fury and that fight has no unique selling point outside of it being the legitimate lineal Heavyweight Championship.

EDIT - I've just reread your post and you may have thought I meant anybody could do a Wembley fight. I meant specifically anybody could have done Froch Groves 2 at Wembley.

 

I believe it's a good card but the three main fights aren't competitive. Rigo, Williams and Flanagan are all nailed on to win. What I don't get is how most people saying this is a great card are the same one's slagging off Matchroom cards for being one-sided.
