Hearn basically saying he had no way/power to stop the Benn v EBJ fight, the only people that could have stopped the fight due to a failed test was CBJ (who wanted the fight to go ahead knowing the failed tests) or the Board of control.
Quite enjoyed that. Thank goodness Jim took charge and put some serious questions to Hearn in part II, though. Simon was getting very emotional in there. Looking forward to the next two parts.
Only seen a few clips of this so far but Jordan was disappointing from what I saw, more emotional than fact-based
Simon Jordan is more knowledgeable than your average football/boxing Deano, and of course he is an intelligent man in general, but Eddie Hearn is levels above him and this interview proved that It would be like trying to out-lawyer Bob or out-bribe Oscar. Just isn't happening I also think Simon is a bit naïve in terms of just how corrupt and backdoor boxing actually is... and basically always has been
The fact that Hearn couldn't cancel the fight due to the contract contents because of Benn bringing matchroom into disrepute shows just how naive a businessman he is. I watched it live and this was actually the standout point for me, Jordan doesn't work in boxing day to day so I'm not surprised he got the odd fact incorrect, however Hearn came prepared and was solid throughout. Jordan is obviously much smarter than Hearn, but not in Hearn's specialist subject.
