How can someone hate on him, he is transparent, open, honest and genuinely tries to look after his fighters. I have known some "older" promotors to be snakes and very shrude. I wont mention names but they are just in it for the £££.. Exploiting the fighter... I think Eddie Hearn has a good attitude and my message to him would be "keep doing your thingggg brotherrrr" :bbb
In the sense that he is WILLING to talk to you and explain the ins and outs of the game. I tried to talk to another promoter and was arrogantly told, "its none of your business, you wont understand". Eddie is a classy guy. Lets give him his props for once... :bbb
Do you not think its better to show love than hate for a fellow human being trying to make the game we ALL love a better place?
I reiterate - he is the same as any other promoter. He’ll do or say anything that’s required to sell his brand. The way he jumped on the Audley bandwagon in the lead-up to the Haye fight was embarrassing. Made even more funny by the fact that he accuses Haye of being nothing more than a money-grabber... [yt]_s6_xaPndjU[/yt] ...whilst he himself spent the best part of the build-up selling the lie that Audley Harrison was a legit threat in the “biggest fight in British history” all in an attempt to piggy-back off Haye’s name and enjoy a healthy payday himself. Transparent and honest, my arse. He's the same as the rest and I see no reason why we should treat him as some sort of saint.
What was he supposed to do? Harrison had created a storm with that MONSTER KO of Sprott. Its his JOB to build the fight. Just because you have pre-conceived ideas and judgemental views on Audley Harrison doesn't mean others have too. The reality is, Audley smashed Sprott, won Prize fighter easily and his promoter got behind him. He does this for ALL his fighters.
My point exactly. He's a promoter that'll latch onto an opportunity just like all other promoters do. He does that for all of his fighters, yeah, but guess what, so do other promoters . But when they do it, it's them cherry-picking and keeping their fighters protected. When Eddie does it, it's him being a nice bloke that cares for his fighters :roll:.
I do accept your point. But Eddie Hearn is professional and doesn't NOT pay fighters or delay pay etc.. He also doesn't mysteriously cancel fights or bring in late replacements. He is KIND enough to talk to the casual fan, so he is top stuff in my eyes. :bbb
No prizes for guessing who you're talking about there :good You a friend/associate of Eddie's? Genuine question.
