Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn 'keeps it real' and rounds on Matchroom's critics

Eddie aint wrong. I'm tired of most everything being a "showcase" fight............

TR is the best at developing fighters, MR is the best at destroying them.

If I had responsibility for a young fighter I'd keep him well away from Eddie. His response to Castro taking a loss is to throw him under the bus. I thought Marc Castro throwing his hands up after the last round was so sad. 'I must've won. I threw loads of punches'. It isn't about punches thrown, kid, but about clean punches landed. Frank Warren isn't a nice person but he looks after his investments, & his fighters are investments so far as he is concerned, & he knows the game & he surrounds himself with boxing people who know the game.

I don't like Eddie but if one thing he said is true, it is that guys get bubble wrapped too much to the point that they do **** until you are almost 30. That is how you get so many 28-0 undefeated "prospects" who fails royally at their first real test. Don't break them, but match close fights and roll the die.

A 24 years old 14-1 world titlist is far more impressive than a 27 years old 23-0 prospect who's best accomplishment was winning the regional title.

It’s always everyone else’s fault. If it wasn’t for the saudis he’d be known as the reason dazn failed

Sorry but Slow Eddie is the wrong guy to actually use as an example
( although here , now he’s saying all the right things )
Can you show me a fighter who Slow Eddie hasn’t done the exact same thing that he’s mentioning
He’s the master at getting these fighters up there with with a 28-0 record and the first fight with substance they get outclassed
Personally , I think this tirade is his defending himself from what GBP has been accusing him of since a few years now
Besides a natural boxer , meaning one who’s had
amateur success and translated to the pro game successfully , can you mention a fighter that was actually groomed from Matchroom ???

I can’t

TR is the best at developing fighters, MR is the best at destroying them.

That means he matching them in tough matches, not predictable outcomes like TR does. I prefer a fight that the outcome is not predictable. Don't really care about developing or destroying.

He will soon be kicked out by Amazon as well.
Turki shadowing two of their PPV events. Benavidez vs Morrell and Tank vs Roach by puttint a "stacked" Card on Feb 22, those matches can be 7 PBC PPVs.

We go to the fights to watch Eddys brilliant matchmaking. All this time I thought it was the girls and beer.
