    Eddie has already said that Burns will be feasting on bums in Scotland from now on. He'd do the same with Cleverly in Wales because the Sky hype train would ensure they fill at least 5,000 at the Motorpoint.

    If you're a ticket seller, Eddie will let you feast on bums. Bellew has been doing it, Brook has been doing it (I knew the Devon fight would NEVER happen), before the Bute fight Froch wasn't a huge ticket seller. Then as soon as he beats Bute on a hyped Sky card he became a ticket seller and feasted on Yusef Mack.

    \/\/arren and Hearn are pretty much the same, as is every promotor - the only difference is, you'll usually get paid on time to feast on bums with Hearn.

    Sad, but true.

    Cleverly has alot of talent - big, strong, long, fast, durable and with a great engine. Rather diabolical technically but he needs a better coach, manager and promoter.

    His reign is a disgrace and it would do boxing a favour if he lost the title. Enough of this mis-management. Cleverly could be a profile in British Boxing. I wouldn't be surprised if he has enough of not being a name and leaves FW, like CF left Hennessey.

    A Krasniqi win would probably have FW legitimising him as an opponent. Sick and tired of Hopkins name being used to drum up interest and then nothing.

    I enjoyed watching Cleverly in his early days and was looking forward to seeing him progress...

    Unfortunately he hasn't and continues to say stuff that never gets backed up..maybe rabbit hole is stalling with him but IMO the more he does that the more likely Clev is likely to get taught a lesson...If / when that happens Clev will then be left with very few followers..

    That's the truth of the matter.

    Flog tickets and you don't have to fight the best.

    Bit harsh on Froch :yep

    When has Eddie said Burns will be feasting on Bums?

    Bellew & Brook have been fighting decent opponents. Its hardly Hearns fault Chilemba was a stinker and Brook/Alexander got injured.

    Froch goes from Bute to Mack to Kessler. Hardly the end of the world!

    and people try and tell me Hearn doesn't get slagged off on here!

    Eddie has said he is going to make Ricky a star in Scotland. We all know what that means because he said it about brook. Feast on bums and sell out arenas, easy paydays for the fighters and him.

    Brook & Burns are at different levels.

    Burns when he signed with Hearn is a 2 weight belt holder. Already fought and won at world level.

    Brook was a European level fighter, that has never been tested. Need to build his resume & profile.

    Seriously who would you have matched Brook with if you were Hearn?

    Brook should have been fighting guys like Soto Karass,Mike Jones or even Andre Berto and wetting his chops at a decent level,instead he fought Matt Hatton,Carson Jones who was a **** hair away from stopping him and that Argentine flop jockey who got knocked out by a jab.Hearn really dropped the ball with him imo,they should have jumped at the chance to fight Tim Bradley when it was on the table,I was baffled by their decision not to take the fight.

    He also said he wants to bring Broner to Scotland for him...if that's not showing ambition I don't know what is

    Saying it and doing it are two different things though.
