God bless Eddie Hearn

Great promoter, if he continues how hes going he will keep pushing the sport forward

 

He can only be the 'breath of fresh air' for so long. If his stable grows things will change big time.

I used to really like Eddie but I've now gone off him as a person. I hope he traps his fingers in Barry's till and cracks a nail.

 

^^^^^^

Sadly,probably correct.

 

Eddie is good for the sport and you get the feeling he listens to the fans, which I think is important.

 

I think someone above made a very good point it is easy to keep your fighters active in good fights when you have a small stable. I hope he realises that because one of the issues Frank ****** has exprienced recently IMHO is that his stable is too big and his interested are spread to wide. Should he keep his stable to a similair size they currently have he will be able to keep them active and look out for best fights available to each fight.

I hope they don't spend too long waiting for a world title fight for Darren Barker. He has already had too many spells on the side, if you can't get something get him back in the ring and keep him active till a world title shot comes his way.

 

How many times can Eddie keep feeding his fighters to the lions?

 

Franks stable has to be big to run his own channel but your right in what your saying, sometimes its about quality not quantity.

 

This is a grown up discussion, please **** off.

 

Now he has BoxNation he can keep the fighters active but when he was on Sky he signed up lots of star amateurs (and I'm not just talking about the Olympians) and they have all been inactive since turning pro because he didn'tt have the dates, his entire calendar was a bit of a shambles.

If Frank had a smaller stable maybe BJS, Frankie Gavin, James Degale and his bigger name fighters like Tony Bellew, Dereck Chisora fighting regularly building a brand at the right pace rather than being thrown into big fights too early maybe he wouldn't have struggled so badly over the last few years.

 

Eddie Hearn has said that Matchroom struggle to break even with boxing. They make money with other sports. Therefore he can afford to play the lottery with his stable.

Darren Barker got paid $400,000 for fighting Martinez. This was to pay his team, cost - everything. The good performance he put on will guarantee him another shot somewhere. However, another defeat and it could be curtains.

 

Yeah, the same breath of fresh air that promoted the **** out of Audley and helped give us that farce.

He's doing good right now but I don't see him as some promoting god or some ****. It's not like he's giving us some great fights and other promoter's aren't.

 

BS if he loses again he can come again with a decent run of wins, there is no such thing as curtains because you lost one fight.

It is that exact sort of mentality that has made this intense fear of losing the 0 so prevalent in modern day Boxing and because of that fighters are be kept under raps for far too long and good fights don't happen because people like Mick Hennessy believe that if Tyson Fury loses that's the end of the bandwagon.

 

the Hatton-Brook undercard is also one of the best to be shown on regular Sky in a very long time!
