wihtout doubt, if you have either charisma, ability or a good fan base Hearn will be great for your earning career. He gets stick but to be fair I cant recall a promoter who isnt a little dodgy, i think he is one of the better ones.
Is he good at paying? Yeah he will share the PPV revenue with Joshua, Haye/Bellew etc but I don't think he actually pays very well at all. He never puts his hand into his pocket (like Warren) that's why countless boxers have had to travel and take a beating.
I’ve just thrown a few quid on Takam to stop Joshua at 18/1. I honestly don’t expect it to happen but it’s worth a punt with them odds. Crazier things have happened. I’m sure I heard Eddie Hearn say on a IFL interview before that Joshua is going to try and come in a stone lighter for this fight than he was against Klitschko.
