I probably keep banging this drum but if it wakes up one sky sub from their deep slumber then so be it: Sky’s ENTIRE REMIT is to keep their subscriber base paying their subs on time, and in full, this month, and the next. They will do anything and everything to ensure this happens, including telling them a few hundred times a day that they are watching the #bestleagueintheworld or that the chinny robot going life and death with the shot ghost of a retired old VLAD was for the #heavyweightchampionshipoftheworld. They don’t deal in facts they deal in subs. Feed the subs whatever it takes to keep em paying. Let’s be honest you ain’t going to be the brightest spark to be paying through the nose on a monthly basis in the first place so they aren’t exactly setting the bar high but it is what it is
Well what can one say to this, apart from spot on... As with anything, it is all set up for one reason and one reason only, to extract your hard earned out of you. And many people still subscribe to the BBC for some strange reason!!! But like you said, if you can wake just one up you will have done your good deed for the day...
He thinks he’s the saviour of British boxing and he isn’t. He just happens to have an incredibly marketable fighter on his books.
If fans love the promoter they're not doing their job right. Eddie Hearn was allowed to be a very young promoter because of his father, this has allowed him to attract boxing talent and utilise social media better than the older promoters. He does a good job only because there's no one anywhere near as big as Sky in the UK so basically no competition. He's hated more and more because of overexposure, he's literally everywhere. He also messed up on the Joshua wilder deal in front of the world.
I know mate but look at the fights with a British angle were going to get from DAZN. Already Saunders - Andrade bill which is actually a British PPV quality bill, with a few Brits in big fights. Then their are Callum Johnson Gavin McDonnall getting world title shots. This is all on top of the UK Sky cards.
In fairness he dragged British Boxing out the duldrums before AJ. Look at the job he done with Froch for example.
I can't remember the comments but I just saw his name He's one of our own, he's one of our own, Harry Kane, he's one of our own. Manchester Utd 0 Tottenham Hotspur 3 Great night for THE MIGHTY THFC, me and all my fellow Spurs fans. COYS
Anyone suggesting jealousy is an absolute mong, in my estimation. I dislike Hearn for reasons I will specify, not a single one of them is owing to jealousy of any form. That's just a lazy defense that requires no justification or further debate. Please note, yes I am aware other people have these same traits. But the question is why do I think Hearn gets so much hate - not anyone else. He lies a lot. An awful lot. He tells people things are happening which are not so that his moves will seem more sensible. He absolute cons a pitifully ignorant section of the public into believing certain fights are well matched when they simply are not. This dude and his marketing team had people convinced Brook had a ****ing chance against Golovkin. PPV's. I don't care if he didn't invent them, he's still making largely poor ones with absolutely no ramifications. As a result of his eagerness to put actual good fights on PPV, a lot of his standard shows have dipped in quality. Personalities over talent. The whole Matchroom setup here is more about getting marketable guys than those who are actually talented. By fat horrid example of this is area level Conor Benn. The Hearns ruined Leyton Orient and there are testimonies that he was a bully growing up. Adds up that he would pick on others for their appearances when (if you look at pictures from 10 years ago) he has quite evidently had work done on his hair to make it thicker. I can see through his 'banterous' IFL videos for the individual he is. Yes, he does put on some good fights. That's really the bare minimum that we should expect. "But his job as a promoter is to make boxers the most money!" right, and I absolutely do not have to like or respect that in any way.
Praise indeed! Perhaps I should rethink my imminent move towards a more T S Eliott / Ezra Pound influenced 40 page cantos on the tragedy of David Haye and the death of youth...
