Really? Fair enough then, that surprises me. Still don't think Crawford vs Brook will be free though.
He's more shot than Billy the kid. Everyone knows it, most of all bob arum and everyone trying to sell this fight as something other than Brook cashing out. It's not on sky because they've filled their PPV slots for the year and it's not worth spending their own acquisition budget on it because Kell has no future and they have no relationship with bud.
Eddie did not make him a multi millionaire. Kell earned that by getting battered in the ring. Eddie wasnt the one in there taking the punches was he. Kell worked hard and he deserves every penny he earned and more
Fully agree here mate, people saying Eddie made Kell a millionaire.... Kell made himself a millionaire and also in the prosess made Eddie millions also, Kell was the one eating big shots from GGG and Spence not Eddie. Kell says in the video he took the GGG fight to save the day for Eddie. I am in no doubt he got payed well for it but without Kell there wouldn't have been a show and Eddie and Sky would also have got payed (probably more than Kell)
You know what I meant. He provided him with the exposure and platform to monetise on his talent as a fighter, had he stayed with Frank he’d of earned nowhere near what he has with Eddie and probably not of made any career defining fights. Exclude his Sky deal, Hearn gets more views on his youtube interviews than nearly all fighters and has more of a twitter following than most including Kell, don’t under estimate the exposure this has given Kell.
Got found out ?? Went to the US and beat a strong WW world champ in his backyard and then showed heart while being overpowered by a full size MW puncher in a fight Kell and Eddie should never have even considered making then had a very close fight with a top 5 P4P'er straight after taking irreparable damage from GGG. Yeah Kell's finished but he didn't get 'found out'. My only hope for his fight with Crawford is that he puts it all on the line and loses with pride unlike a certain fella from the UK who Kell doesn't like that gave one of the most shameful performances in recent memory against Crawford, realised after a few rounds he wasn't going to win and decided to take the 'live to fight another day' option when he got hit on the upper leg, pretended he couldn't continue and quit.
Hearn merely got him the opportunities that Kell earned himself by the way. What do you think people were paying for when buying a Kell brook ppv? Matchroom and hearn? Or was it because kell brook was fighting? And in any case eddie giving him a platform does not = “eddie made him a multi millionaire”
Kell's PPV numbers were awful, the reason Sky will not air the fight is because the numbers do not make sense for PPV and it's too expensive to air as non PPV. Bob obviously wont budge on his valuation of Crawford and Sky know exactly what numbers Kell brings. Khan v Crawford ended up on BT box office? Bob was probably hoping for the same but the truth is Khan does bigger numbers than Kell ever did on Sky.
Probably cos the fighters kell fought were utter shite. Jo jo dan, Bizier, Gavin. Awful fights. He did 750k vs GGG. I never made any comment on brook vs crawford not being on sky
Didn't realise he did those numbers against Spence. Thats some pretty solid numbers for Kell he must have got a pretty decent payday from GGG and Spence good on the guys he deserves they were two beatings he took in both those fights.
