    OMG Fast car Eddie is at it again!!!

    Excuses after excuses from this guy

    If he is such a superhero promoter than why can't he make the fights happen?

    Why is Jacobs only fighting every 6 months, and against nobodies?

    FFS Jacobs is a cancer survivor and all around nice guy. He is the easiest guy you can imagine to promote.

    Eddie has done absolutely zero for Jacobs. Jacobs profile has gone backwards and he has looked very bland (stunk out the joint against Arias) and overrated (arguably lost to no name pole)

    It seems it is never Eddies fault, he always has someone else to blame?

    Why does Eddie get so much credit for AJ?

    Sky have delivered with the TV money to pay for his belts and AJ has been the bloke throwing all the punches?

    I actually like the guy but I can see that his cards are corrupt as hell,find it incredible how all Hearn fighters talk about their next fight when they’ve still got an opponent to get past.
    How is it you can do that when potentially you get Truaxed like DeGale or just have an off night,it’s like they know they gonna get the win so long as they don’t get knocked out.

    Fact is Jacobs' last two performances have not met expectations.

    It’s true. Eddie can’t seem to get out of his own way. It’s too embarrassing to watch, really.

    What does Eddie have to do with Jacobs performances?

    Citing how Jacobs has done since signing to him, as a knock on him, makes no sense.


    Golovkin and Canelo have clearly had other priorities this last year, BJS is with Frank, SD is a stablemate and is waiting on G as hes most likely next, Lemieux is coming off a loss, and Hearn is currently trying to line up Charlo.

    What exactly you expect him to do with that landscape?

    Seems simply like a hate thread with no real substance to back it up.

    I guess it in part depends on how serious you think Hearn is in getting Charlo for Jacobs because they're the same noises he made about getting the other Charlo for Brook initially and well, that absolutely isn't happening soon.

    Tell that to Chisora, Degale and Campbell who all lost fights they weren't supposed to.

    Anyway i'm not surprised he hasn't waltzed over to America and taken over. HBO were never going to back him like Sky have.

    As for Jacobs I think a Charlo win would do his career the world of good.

    Charlo is the king for the cripple beaters! Hell, he even beat Pee Wee Herman! Jacobs had a very difficult time with Sulecki who was an unknown jr. middleweight...................so, let them fight next......................Golovkin will knock them both out. Sat. night Golovkin would have knocked Jacobs out! Pirog sure took care of Jacobs!

    I believe they have a deal with HBO and HBO only has so many available dates. (This is a big reason why Bob Arum was displeased with HBO)
    Hearn himself has said so and he has raised Jacobs´ profile. Prior to his HBO debut(regular, not PPV), Jacobs' biggest fight was on ESPN against Sergio Mora. (Going by the ratings. 1m tuned in for that fight and Jacobs´ wasn't the main event.)
    Eddie has nothing to with how Jacobs looks in the ring. And most acknowledge that Jacobs has now gotten more attention than he did with PBC.

    And that pole had a name(among the hardcore fans unfortunately) and by no means did Jacobs arguably loose to him. Thats just stretching your imagination way too far.

    And what does that have to do with Hearn?
    Hearn should have gotten him softer opponents?

    Jacobs lost heart since the GGG fight and is not fighting like an elite MW.

    This in turn has a domino effect.

    Pretty sure if you trawl back you’ll find a quote from him promising to deliver Canelo or GGG for Jacobs when he signed him.

    Dibella warned him he would struggle stateside.

    Why is it you can't criticise Hearn without been a hater?
