    Isn't it a sign of success that he managed to sell those PPV's and make a profit though? I don't agree at all with those fights, the Brook one was an absolute joke but again, managing to do business on them, that's like getting west brom into the champions league spots lol.

    He could be making huge profits for all I know( i have no clue about the numbers), but he's a ****ty promoter for the "fans", and a 2 faced lying sack of ****.

    id not say a sign of success but a sign that the U.K fans r dedicated boxing fans.....

    I didnt buy brook vs gavin but it would be interesting to see the ppv buys

    The fact he had the front to put that on PPV after Bellew Cleverly shows his true colours

    Sleezy salesmans is all he is, his father makes all the important decisions and seals all the important deals

    Can u imagine if Froch was not awarded the IBF SMW belt because Hearn entered the ring before the bout was finished?
    Essentailly it would have and should have been the biggest gaff ever made by any promotor

    there is a reason why Carl Frampton wont have anything to do with him after working with him for a short period of time, unlike the rest of the matchroom stable he wont be held to ransom

    Seems like a decent guy and a fair promoter. Not shady like Haymon or Arum.

    Deception is a trait of an excellent conman

    True. All promoters are salesman to me, and I never trust a salesman.

    Barry calls the financial shots and Eddie carries out his marching orders.Having said that,Barry Hearn deserves nothing but respect and is a true Hall of Famer.

    Once again, ellerbe thinks he knows more than British people about boxing in this country.

    Boxing is in a far better place in this country, mainly thanks to Hearn's work with Sky than it was before he was around.

    Boxing is getting far more coverage and far more newspaper inches than it was a few years back. Any British person will tell you that.

    The Brook v Gavin card was a great night of boxing and the vast majority of fans enjoyed it, well worth 15 quid.

    He's only one of the worst promoters ever to you because he's done a good job and the likes of Brook and has caused you to alt up multiple times after you hated on Matchroom fighters.

    If he was such a bad promoter, why has he just got a 5 year extension with Sky?

    Based on what ellerbe.

    You belive eveything that comes out of the mouth of the likes of Broner and Brandon 'i failed my PED test because i peed in a dirty cup' Rios.

    Perhaps you need to trust him more.

    And no, he's far from a s***y promoter for the fans. Who was the last promoter to give us a huge Wembley show
