On that last point that's one thing I do like about Hearn.

He screwed over Tom Little when Tom Little flew out to Bulgaria to box Bogdan Dinu on the Pulev-Fury undercard which didn't happen because Hearn signed Dinu to box Miller. But Hearn made things right by covering Little's purse and expenses and then giving him a fight against Price on a Matchroom show. Fair play for that.

Also he famously took a loss on Bellew's Goodison Park world title show to give Bellew his dream fight. That was a masterclass move in hindsight because Bellew went on to make millions for Hearn in PPV sales but you've got to respect Hearn for pulling all the stops to give his man his dream fight.

I do think Hearn is a complete scumbag and a lying piece of **** but that's another story. One thing nobody can criticise him for, though, is for stiffing fighters and robbing them financially. It is a bit sad that we have to praise him for not being a leech but that's a sad indictment of promoters in boxing generally. It's a dirty sport outside of the ring no doubt.
