    He gave us Froch v Groves at Wembley, somehow got 2 bags of PPV Loot for Bellew and One Legged Toe, made a fortune with the zero threat matchmaking for his limited heavyweight boxers and now .......

    He is going to Croke Park with 2 women headlining the fight on DAZN UK Box Office.

    All well planned and sold well to the public.

    Take a bow.

    Why, because Eddie says his work ethic is on another level..

    Eddie was given everything on a plate and has a team of people backing his every move. I have a lot more respect for people who make it from nothing. People like Frank Warren for example. Easy to make money when you already have it.

    Respect the guy who had a reputation for not paying his fighters once upon a time?

    Heres an idea, don't respect any of them, they're all politicians! Respect the fighters and the trainers.

    Queensberry are due to have promoted 18 shows come the end of the year, Boxxer 12. Matchroom 33. Tells you all about who's "working the hardest".

    Boxing must be a unique sport where Cameron losing last night instead of winning, will result in her earning far more money in the Trilogy Fight, than she would have earned in 10 careers.

    He is good at what he does. Just wish he'd not be such a good pal to blatant drug cheats like Conman Hen and Jarrell The Pharmacist Miller

    It won't be the trilogy - it will be the Serrano rematch next instead. Makes it more popular stateside too.

    There is no doubt that Eddie Hearn is a skilled businessman. He makes DAZN pay a fortune for quite ordinary boxing events. Well done !

    Lol. Look at Matchroom's run from November 25 - December 23. Even someone on Warren's payroll like yourself can't deny it's an incredible run of events, which would have been even better if Haney vs Prograis wasn't on PPV. Not sure how yesterday's event was "ordinary"?

    Apart from the main event - by the way : A fantastic fight - yesterday's Matchroom event was quite ordinary. It reminded me of a MTK Boxing event.

    There's a difference between an "event" and a "card" though. Cully vs Mould was surprisingly competitive so I enjoyed watching it. Paddy Donovan shocked us all dispatching Danny Ball so comfortably. The first 2 fights on the telecast I agree were terrible. I said before the event they should have put one of the all-Irish fights on the main card instead of Skye Nicholson.

    Sorry I should have written Matchroom card and not Matchroom event.

    I may have been influenced by the many Eddie Hearn interviews this week where he described the undercard as amazing :)

    Factually correct but all with different strategies.
    Matchroom would love to be seen as a UFC of boxing, promoting everywhere and focusing on big cards plus its media brand. Can't deny they're making progress on that, even if it means they are level pegging for UK shows (debatable).
    Queensberry, aside from current Saudi relationship, is not attempting to be a "global promoter", it's got a niche in the UK and has done well with BT/TNT money and Fury's comeback.
    No idea what Boxxer's strategy is.
