    In the latest Boxing Social interview Hearn is asked what the difference is between them putting Whyte v Povetkin on behind closed doors and Warren saying he wouldn’t do Dubois v Joyce without a crowd.

    He goes on to say that according to Company’s House Queensbury have got a cash reserve of about £20,000 and they’d lose hundreds of thousands of pounds doing the fight without a crowd.

    It’s pretty funny stuff and only made funnier by the fact that it’s true!

    Not exactly a classy thing to say. This rivalry between promoters is rather cringy.

    Matters not. What we want is consistently strong product, and neither Flush Eddie nor Broke Frank has been giving it to us for their respective reasons.

    Agreed. All the bitching and point scoring is so tedious

    Eddie needs to remember he might not be top dog forever

    To be honest Hearn wouldn’t be putting on any PPV at the current time so this points scoring is rather pointless.

    I’m not sure what else he could’ve said. He was asked what the difference was with Whyte v Povetkin likely going ahead as a PPV behind closed doors and Joyce v Dubois not, and he said that they could afford to lose money on it and Warren couldn’t.

    Something along the lines of "I don't know you'd have to ask Frank".

    If you believe this is the true reason then you are a moron.

    Truth is Eddie wants to stage a big fight ASAP so he can stage a smash and grab PPV. Eddie wants to cash in on the fans gagging for live sport.

    Warren not having cash in the bank is kinda true, hard to argue against that.
    That said, Dubois vs Joyce would be a lot easier to make under this conditions, both of them would only earn a fraction of what Shyte and Povetkin would earn and they aren't huge draws at this stage, so the live gate revenue wouldn't be huge anyway. With the lack of sports on TV right now that fight would sell a lot more PPV buys right now than before the outbreak.
