Eddie Hearn is the real winner of last nights event!

Great event can't really fault it TBH
Don't see what effect it has on Warrren as someone mentioned but whatever

 

Wonder how he will manage the Froch Degale situation, i doubt he can call any shots with regards Froch but i reckon Degale signed with him partly because Hearn promised him a shot at the winner of Froch Groves. If Froch fights Chavez and doesn't have to vacate it may damage Degale's relationship with Hearn.

 

Degale comes across as a nightmare to manage, was running his mouth after the main event that eddie has to get him the froch fight even though Hearn has said froch wouldn't have to do a mandatory prior to degale signing and good as said the same post fight, just did it to get degale signed up and he fell for it hook line and sinker (unless eddie though groves would win and he could keep that part of the bargain up whilst sending froch to Vegas), reckon degale to eddie is basically a bridge in the SMW division between froch and Callum smith

Guessing he signed the seemingly standard matchroom 3 fight contract at first, if he keeps running his mouth then he's pretty much left with the likes of coldwell and Hobson, and I seriously doubt they could get him a world title shot in a division like SMW (and that's no disrespect to those two, just the simple fact that there's only really 3 British based promoters who can get him a title shot, eddie, frank who he seemingly burnt all bridges and I highly doubt sauerland sign him with groves there)

 

Froch will vacate sooner or later and degale will get to fight or the title which is win win for both degale and Eddie as Eddie will market him well and degale gets a fight he might actually win

 

Problem then for degale is that they'd really struggle to fill even a 10k arena for a world title fight going off the attendances for his last few fights with hennessey, unless he fights groves again as his profile isn't that great, 2 years ago don't forget they were struggling to sell out a 7k arena for froch who had a far far bigger profile and resume than degale

 

Everyones a winner in my eyes.Froch got his KO win,Groves proved he was more than just a bit player in the division,Hearns had the balls to go big and it paid off and the public got a huge fight that captured the imagination just like the old days of Benn,Watson,Eubank etc.Great to see and hopefully wont have to wait as long for the next one.

 

Wonder what kind of cash eddie will pocket after all outlays, tidy sum anyway. good on him

 

Hearn did a great job as a promoter which of course is his job.

Well done to him and hope he puts on moree great shows in the future.
