    This has nothing to do with what you said about Fraduely/Haye Khan/McCloskey though? He did a great job with them two.

    Hearn is getting overrated a fair bit but for the most part he's done well.

    And I wasn't trying to be a tosser in my previous post :good

    :lol:

    Oh yeah, I forgot that German company Sauerland are promoting this battle of two Londoners. In London.

    Along with Boxnation of course.

    I think Mick Hennessy gets too much stick. Lets be fair, Mick made Froch.

    I'd like to how see how Eddie Hearn manages under pressure. He has it too easy at the moment with sky and everything is laid out for him.

    Chisora/Haye is the hottest boxing event the world this year. Frank has pulled a masterstroke putting on this fight and creating BoxNation. However, he needs to sort the issues with his boxers, I'm quite alarmed at what is allegedly going on within his stable.

    My last point was: Why does everyone love him? When he's given us two of the shittest big fights in the last 2/3 years!

    If it's Eddie stopping his fighters appearing on Boxnation, such as Bunce's show then that's **** crack on his part

    Your job as a promoter is to get your fighters the biggest fights out there, and obviously Hearn knew he could make £££££, surely Sky are to blame for accepting some obvious mismatches and putting them on PPV.

    And Hearn didn't promote neither event IIRC.

    Looking at it objectively it has to be ******, this is the guy that:

    Turned Hatton into the biggest British boxing draw ever (by a mile!).
    Gave great memorable British boxing nights such as Lacy vs Calzaghe & Hatton vs Tsyzu

    And has done so much more!

    That was a long time ago, Frank seems to be slipping, of late.

    Never count Franky boy out though, the snidey git has always got a trick up his sleeve :yep

    I do slightly concur with you, today he does seem to be playing second fiddle with Matchroom especially with the whole Boxnation thing.

    I like Eddie Hearn as a promoter. He is fresh and is not afraid to put his fighters in with good opposition.:deal

    In fairness all he's done in both cases is get the best possible fights for his fighters. Something that can't be said of certain other promoters. We all knew they were mismatches, but Hearn doesn't promote Khan or Haye.
