Josh Warrington signs with Hearn

Who is he going to fight?

DAZN isn't exactly laden down with Featherweights.

 

Absolutely wasn't in anyway defending FW. Just pointing out that Hearn wasn't exactly a saviour in this episode either (far from it). It was a hot topic on the forums back then mate.

 

By all accounts Hearn pays his fighters well and on time. I don't realistically think he could be expected to cover the legal bills of people in litigation with previous promoters unless he was active in getting them to break a legit contract that the previous promoter was upholding their side of the bargain in.

All this said, I find Hearn a smarmy ******* who has served us up some right **** since he was given the keys to the kingdom.

 

I think most would think he was active in getting a legit contract broken? There's not much praise to give to either promoter. Paying fighters on time shouldn't be seen as making Hearn some sort of white knight.

 

I agree. It shows you how bad the situation with promoters in the UK is.

 

Promoters a bad word for us no matter the country.

 

Can you imagine a major promotional outfit in the US - like a Top Rank, GBP or Haymon Corp - not paying their fighters? I don't think too much of those guys but I'm sure they do that right as opposed to what a certain fish eyed rat over here has done many a time.
