Hearn is terrible at matchmaking

I can hear you Clem Fandango

 

In fairness you can't blame anybody for matching Walsh with Davis and Yarde with Kovalev. They were both mandatory challengers. However the blame could lie with how they were matched prior to these fights to prepare them. I know Walsh went through the elimination fight process, but did Yarde? What one of they dumplings was his final eliminator fight?

 

This is precisely what Warren used to do when he was the UK's number one promoter. That, or he would go down the WBO route, hold the belt hostage against poor opposition, and then eventually cash out with a good opponent or unification.

That's the thing with boxing; when you are at the top (be it the number one promoter or a world champion), you really can take the easy route.

 

A lot of sour Haribo’s up in this thread, Hearn has done pretty damn good for himself as a promoter and has left his mark on british boxing... and he has done good for the sport.

Could be much worse, there have been worse...

He is no frank warren but still...

 

I was going to bring up this same point in the hearn/Warren thread.

 

I think Hearn is very good match maker, hence why his PPV's are always decent

A fool and his money.....

 

I repeat for like the fifth time...


And people say this forum isn’t infiltrated by Matchroom.

 

where did he go?

 

His PPVs are absolutely shambolic on paper, he just gets pure lucky a few fights turn into barn stormers.

However, his PPV this weekend is taking the utter biscuit. It’s a Saturday Night Fight Night card. I mean Dave Allen vs Dave Price as chief support on a PPV undercard? Good one mate.

I’ll follow the fights on Twitter when the sheep who pay for it post their secondly updates.

 

OK...tell me the last time he put on a bad PPV?

Whyte vs Del Boy 2

Minus the main event it was crap
