Seems so odd that Arum wouldnt have any input or some people in the case. Surley they have agreed to just let Hearn get om with? If not its baffling
I think that one sparring video - against Ty Mitchell (who's just his mate) isn't that representative really. He's actually in camp with Parker so it's probably a bit of a hybrid in approach - lots of the sparring partners (Kamil Sokolowski and Aleksander Mraovic) look more like Parker's prep for Chisora. Smaller 'come forward' brawler types.
Exactly. I know it's a bit of a meme on here, but it's true. Hearn is just really good at setting the narrative. If the fight falls through - it'll be a collective responsibility. Both fighters obviously want to make the fight, if it falls through it'll be down to greed from fighters and promoters.
Think Hearn has the contacts. My guess is it is Hearn and MTK organising the deals. Just cant mention the name MTK anywhere and they cant be seen to be involved for obvious reasons. Think Top Rank are just happy with US tv rights and taking their cut.
Have a funny feeling they are getting the Kabayel fight on in July hence why they have mentioned moving the fight to later in the year. That way they find the cash. No PPV's competition in June/July so far and may have some kind of crowd back.
I am genuinely surprised that seemingly media savvy people (who understand how social media can help spread news) believe everything Hearn says as gospel. It's absolutely obvious whatever he says will be to help his commercial agenda.
I’m not a Hearn fan but I do think he has a point. I’ve zero interest in either of them fighting anyone else and I do think if the fight is not made it’s not because of AJs side. I’m not saying Fury is scared or anything, far from it, but it’s clear he wants an interim fight.
Bob Arum can’t deliver Spence for Crawford. When Arum has to work with other promoters he struggles to get it done
Hearn isn’t exactly the most trustworthy person on the planet, like you said he has his own agenda. But he’s clearly the most honest promoter out of Himself, Arum and Warren.
I don't wonder why in reality. Best boxer he in life had in the ring was Mean Machine and Spence most likely doesn't looks enough old or shot to step in the ring with him. Loma vs Lopez was bigger fight than Crawford can deliver ( unless U.S fans who are thinking that U.S is all the world ).
He’s the best self-promoter. His shows are still sh!te and he doesn’t exactly have a great stable. How many of the top 15 P4P does he promote? 1 or 2.
