More on Hearn's US TV deal!First signings will be unveilded on Jully 17th. Andrade possible.

why?

 

why?

 

I already explained why.

Just tell us. Not "big announcement in five weeks time!" or "oooo massive news in two weeks" or "i've done x with y and you can here all about it in z!"

Just ****ing tell us.

What on earth is wrong with that?

 

It's not an "event in itself". This is brand new thinking and it's definitely backwards. Nobody gave a **** what promoter signed what fighter up until very very recently and it's basically an SM engineered occurrence. What will happen: Eddie Hearn will go on a small stage with a fighter or two and say nothing or almost nothing. Then Koogan and that chick with the tits will interview him after and those interviews will get heavy play.

Can you please explain to me why this in any way is superior to Eddie Hearn telling Koogan or that chick that he signed x or y that morning?

It's all such a terrible non-event.

The "event" is the fight announcement, that's when you find out what it all means. That, I'd argue, is worth a press conference. But an "event" to announce what fighter signed what piece of paper?

Hot dog.

 

It would definitely be better as far as I'm concerned.

But also not what I said.

But I guess i'll leave it be, you guys seem to love to wait weeks for your press conference announcements.

It's good to enjoy life, so nothing wrong with that; but 100% not for me. Just tell us.

 

I'm trying hard to hang up, but I just don't agree with any of his.

Why isn't it "building curiosity" for Hearn to just tell us? In any manner he likes? Twitter, massive press conference with jazz and fireworks, suicide by fire screaming the name of the fighter he just signed, any incredible manner he chooses now? Why is the curiosity somehow less?

Why is it "better for business" to tell everyone in five weeks (or w/e) rather than tell the hardcore boxing fans (an nobody else will give a ****) now and then tell everyone in five weeks, again? What is the "business" arithmetic that sees this company makes more money by keeping a five week secret?

If there's publicity to be had in five weeks when a whole pile of other news breaks, that's great. You can still do that. But where's the upside to the cloak and dagger stuff?

There is none.

There's nothing wrong with having polar bears dance with roman candles burning on their centurion helmets as Grace Jones fellates The Rock to the sounds of a Bon Jovi original while Eddie Hearn chants Rau'shee Warren's name into a shared mic on the chorus now, if that's what that "event" deserves, as opposed to in 5 weeks (or w/e) time.

Unless, of course, Eddie is stalling a bit because none of this is final.

Which is probably what has happened.

But hey, that's just me. I got no problem with anyone that gets a kick out of the wait, but for me personally it seems nonsensical.
