    Well Hearn DID ignore Brook's apparent wish to fight GGG, didn't he? lol. He tried to match CEJ instead. He only turned to Brook when CEJ pulled out of the fight, not with Brook's interests at heart but his own.

    Then after Brook got him out of that PPV hole, Hearn allowed him to boil down to 147 to fight another wrecking ball in Spence to headline another PPV obligation. There was a tacit admission that neither of these weights are right for him in the next fight which was at 154, the weight everyone accepts is Brook's natural division and has been for some time, although I accept Brook didn't want to vacate his title.

    So there we have it: Up two weights to fight GGG, down two weights to fight Spence, both on PPV. Sometimes, fighters need to be protected from themselves but for Hearn it's all about the bottom line. He's helped Brook earn a small fortune but he played Russian Roulette with Kell's health to do so.

    And I agree, the duty of care issue doesn't fall only on Hearn's shoulders, but I note you accept he was let down in this respect...

    It's not exactly news that Christians (along with muslims, orthodox jews etc.) consider homosexuality a sin.

    Tyson Fury said it so it's outrageous!

    Just like it's the first time we've heard a professional boxer threaten another fighter, after Wilder said he'd hurt Breazelle.

    I say ban them from speaking their minds, let them be given scripts like AJ and become a wooden robots.

    I find it ridiculous that an admittedly uneducated (left school at about 12) gypsy boxer is taken to task by the mainstream media (both left-wing and right-wing) for those comments, instead of, say, the Pope or the archbishops or the heads of the churches who exist full-time to spread this doctrine.

    Obviously the disgusting "journalists" who act so outraged are looking for easy targets. They couldn't care less about the actual issue, just like to kick someone from a lower-class background who made a success of themselves.

    Lol@ at blaming Hearn for Brooks injuries against Golovkin.. How about blaming GGG for disgracefully dragging a welter weight up two divisions while refusing to meet him at a Catchweight?

    GGG wasn't forced to fight Brook , he was delighted to pad his record with a welter weight.
    If Ward or anybody else you don't like dragged a guy up two weight classes and essentially ended their career , you'd without doubt call for them to be hung , drawn and quartered. Some consistently please.

    Btw , Eubanks never pulled out of the fight. They were in negations and suddenly out of the blue , Hearn announces Brook vs Golovkin.
    Since Brook was contracted to Showtime and Golovkin was with HBO , it would have been impossible to cut a deal that quickly , which proves Hearn was secretly doing the deal with Loefler all along.

    Hearn said the hardest deal he ever had to make was WK vs AJ specifically because of the network conflicts. He said it took months to sort everything out.
    People who believe Hearn made Brook vs GGG in a week are living in fantasy land.

    Eddie Hearn hates the idea of Wilder-Fury happening. It's so obvious.

    The people on here now tearing into Eddie Hearn and Brook about boiling down to 147 and taking the fight are the same names on here who were tearing into Eddie Hearn and Brook about considering not defending against Spence and going to 154.

    No wonder people are begging for a little consistency from you bellends. Its just so blatent how you are twisting everything you say, read or hear.

    What is a promoters job? What is their objective, I would say to make money for their fighter, wouldn't you agree?

    Has Shirley Winkle or anybody connected to Wilder ever made Wilder 5 million for a single fight?

    A welterweight with zero chance of winning gets a 5 million payday and Wilders best purse is what? 2.5 million at absolute most LOL

    A promoters job is to earn money for his fighter and you want to call Hearn a bad promoter?

    I think you need to take a look at Team Wilder and then maybe apologise to Hearn.

    You are actually embarrassing yourself.

    Exactly, Hearn told Brook not to fight Spence Jr at 147, Hearn told him to move up but Brook insisted he wanted that fight.

    Why?

    Because Hearn works for Brook, Brook employs Hearn.

    Because the fight impacts on his potential revenue from AJ versus either of them.
    If Fury or Wilder win big in a financially successfully fight, it's obvious their "profile" and negotiating leverage increases, and in that case Eddie's numbers are skewed and he has to compromise more.
    And an AJ fight with the loser probably shrinks in potential revenue too.

    Hearn will say "it makes a fight with the winner bigger", but really the risk is that it makes AJ's and Hearn's percentage smaller, we all know that.
    Hearn is saying "don't get me wrong, this fight is great for boxing" but then in the next breath he's doing his utmost to minimize the potential magnitude of the fight.
    He would hate for this fight to get huge viewing numbers. He needs Wilder and Fury to stay in the same financial proportion to Joshua as they have been so far.
    It's pure greed. Joshua is the cash cow anyway, realistically he will never have to go 50-50 with anyone ever, and Hearn will make huge money, but Hearn can't bear the idea of having to compromise at all.

    Six pages? Criminy. Has any evidence from outside of Matchroom been considered admissible by the Hearn acolytes?

    A promoter's job is to put on fights and make money for himself.
