Barry Hearn

Good old Bazza back in action...will give it a watch this evening.

 

"This is a great time to be a boxer" - Bazza in that Whyte-Rivas presser

Funny he didn't mention how it's a great time to be a fan, guess that was a Freudian slip.

 

He must be able to fight dressed like that...

He should have said that Rivas looks like one of the "Ladies" out of the longest yard!!

 

Barry is a normal guy made good.

Good luck to him. Wouldn't trust him but i like him if that makes any sense!

 

Barry has a real presence about him when he speaks, he commands authority.

He is like the devil selling you something, you just want to say yes because he sounds right.

Some real powerful words there at the end when Whyte started cracking up, but he sold it well and to be fair... this might end up being the best HW card this year lol unless a miracle happens.

 

Has Rivas' eye been brought up at any occasion, or is everyone just keeping quiet over here and hoping he passes his BBBofC medical?

 

Yeah click on red mate. Little red button on your remote, or don’t, it’s up to you.

 

no idea what you're talking about

 

He wasn't originally allowed to fight in the US but did against Jennings last time out so I guess he's all good?

 

Yeah but i don't understand how you can fail eye tests, not have any further surgery or correction and then be allowed to fight. And BBBofC are quite strict when it comes to medicals i think

 

Oh well, if he’s speaking with authority, then I suppose I should be a good fan and raid the piggy bank for the Barry & Eddie fund ... salt of the earth geezers those two.

 

Depends on the rules and regulations I guess...maybe they just won’t grant a license within a certain period of time of an operation.

 

Barry needs to shut up about the "we were slave owners" thing.

Just how ****ing insulting is that to all the (black) boxers he worked with in the 1980s and 1990s ?

Fury's right about this old guy. Put him back in the cupboard.
