    Domestically there should be tremendous fights made at Lightweight, Middle and Supermiddle. Eddie is the reason these are not happening, the fighters themselves should realise that if you lose a close yet exciting domestic scrap then your stock goes up not down. Tired of Vacant IBF Silver Continental bollocks against an Argentinian two weight classes lighter.

    There needs to be more British title fights. Since Sky gave Hearn the monopoly the number of British title fights have declined dramatically. We don't want it going back to the days of the 90's with these alphabet intercontinental title fights.

    Eddies shows are now quantity over quality.Fast Cars Father ought to sit him down and explain this to him.

    indeed, a quality fight at the top of the bill, 2/3 well matched fights/entertaining fighters (can get away with someone like martin murray/bellew having a tune up fight can count as one of these or even something like mathews v crolla, not something like scott quigg against the 95th ranked super bantam as a 'world title fight' ta) or even a reasonably big name foreign fighter like malignaggi and 2/3 prospects who are likely to win but get an entertaining knockout (the rocky fieldings and callum smiths of the world) - personally don't mind spending a fair bit on a ticket/ppv, just would rather have 5-7 fights where at least 4 are going to be fairly competitive than last saturdays card where all of them i think were won by a massive odds on favourite (and yes I know politics makes this difficult at times)

    then again i think he's **** scared that some of his prospects will get an 'L' and nobody will care about them after that (would explain the kell brook situation) - someone should remind him how johnny nelson's first 3 pro fights went

    Agree with this.

    I think they are just trying to makes 'names' of boxers based on location these days .......

    Brook v Paulie? Bloody hell if he makes that fight he wont be doing Brook any favours. He was WBO mandatory nearly 4 years ago and he has still not boxed for an alphabet belt or fought anyone of note. Seriously needs to sort himself out.

    its the trendy thing to hate on Hearn now frankly he is the only show in town if you want to see big fights with British world champions. no other promoter is close to his level.

    Success breeds contempt.

    I bet Hearn is loving it.

    To get in my good books as you put it, Put Brook in with a World Class! Fighter, now i'm not talking Zab Judah or a Paulie i mean a Porter, Maidana, Bradley ect. If he doesn't do this and continues to hype Brook he can **** right off, Secondly make Froch Groves 2 is a must no excuses. Lastly less shows all about packing in as many names as possible in meaningless fights. I want to see fights that matter not cards filled with crappy one sided fights.Oh and if he is doing PPV i want a quality Undercard, that means either a big domestic fight, Frampton vs Quigg, Murray vs Macklin or Quigg or Brook in a Big Fight! Not Quigg against a guy ranked 88th, not a bunch of olympians in meaningless fights. Proper quality chief supports.

    Put on so called "stacked cards" with actually competitive fights
