    Do agree with most of these comments, but let's not forget these fighters need paid in order to go through camps...

    Then Eddie should pay for their camps instead of the punter, the fans deserve good fights not up to us to pay for their camps thats up to Hearn seen as he is the one making money off them

    Do see what your saying but it's the shows that bank roll Hearn to then invest in his fighters.

    Yeah but Eddie makes money from fighters not us, we pay Eddie don't forget we pay to see good fights, we are not investing in fighters he is, Eddie and Sky have plenty of money, Hearn has the Darts for one thing as well as the backing of a massive tv company in Sky i think they can well afford to pay for fighters camps Their should be no such thing as a warm up show, Hearn only has 20 dates and 1 of those tonight was a complete waste of time 2 weeks till the next show frankly with the stable he has got and Sky's money theirs no excuse not to have quality shows especially when you have about a card every 3 weeks

    Come on Furey you usually talk sense, but those posts are rubbish mate.

    Fans turned up last night to see competitive boxing, but what they got wasn't competitive boxing. It was just mismatches and handicap fights just so Hearn and Sky keep to their rota whilst the fighters get payed padding their records on the way to title shots. That's not boxing.
    Just as well Matchroom have their have their Sky contract signed up.

    Aye it was f*cking rank rotten, but it seems to be the norm from Hearn just now, so it shouldn't be a f*cking surprise.

    Honestly, I started pishing myself laughing when Kevin Mitchells opponent couldn't even stand right never mind fight :lol:
    Typical Hearn blaming the poor little **** at the end saying he should have been better :-(

    I wont be going back to any of his shows until he gets his f*cking act together and puts on something decent for a change, but I wont hold my breath as Hearns tighter than an ants arse.

    I call Hearn "pinnochio" because every time I see him the ****s nose is getting bigger and bigger.

    i actually felt sorry for Mitchel and Bambi there were only losers in that bout....
    its hard to believe that kid had been in a ring before ,imagine what Mitchell was thinking fighting a guy whos style was 'epileptic'

    The guy Mitchell fought might honestly be the worst fighter i have seen, certainly the worst import brought in for a British fighter, i know we say respect all fighters but jesus christ i'd say with a months training i'd do better that lad was so bad it was unreal.

    :lol: Maybe I am talking from out my arse and like I said I do agree with most of these comments, I was bored out of my ****ing mind watching it on Saturday night... glad I didn't get tickets for it... and I do agree that us paying fans do deserve competitive fights.

    Same token though, Bellew was never going to fight a big name in his first fight at CW, the Smith brothers pulled out and then theres the fact that Brook and Mitchell are due to fight for world titles in the summer so they were always going to be in ticking over fights.

    Forgetting about last night and talking in general though, Hearn needs to pull his finger out of his arse and make more competitive fights.
