Armchair Promoters/Managers

[evets]

I was making this reply -

Why do so many people care so much about all of this ****? They are all laughing at all of us counting the money they make regardless of who fights who and whose fault it is. I mean ffs Eddie Hearn has literally admitted he plays the pantomime villain purposefully. He will say things that are untrue in public and accept the boos and the **** talk which the other side are fine with as behind closed doors its all about money. The only one who seems to cut off his nose to spite his face is Warren and even then it's only when he really thinks he has a chance to one up old man Hearn.

relating to people going on and on about Wilder/Joshua/Whyte/Ducking etc and I realised - it's just like football now. For as long as I can remember all off the people around me, especially in bars know better than the managers of the team. Like some overweight, half blind idiot will be complaining like he could do a better job than Alex Ferguson or whatever. Or when a player misses like they would have scored it themselves when they can't even wipe their hole properly. And made me realise boxing became that way now :/ I think it's the internet with the higher level of reporting on business side of things that doesn't matter. We always got that info for football but never really for boxing. Just found it funny. Maybe though it's always been happening and I just was blind and the internet makes it more visible.

You got a link to the video of Eddie saying he says sh^t that is untrue to hype fights or to hype/anger fans?

I contend this sh^t is all part of promotion. And the fact they can get us so excited or pissed by words IS part of the job requirements. I think we all find ourselves getting too excited or pissed about sh^t that goes on in boxing at times. I think we take sh^t boxers say waaaaaaay too seriously as a group & for sure we take promoter sh^t too seriously & I find myself falling victim to that far more often then boxers these days thinking about it.

I'm pretty sure I could do a better job than any NFL coach or general manager or boxing promoter and I'm also confident that I could be a better quarterback or boxer or NBA basketball player if I just felt like it but thing is I just had other stuff going on and I like helping people so instead I specifically chose to be a drive-thru attendant at Burger King because at BK we are all about "have it your way" and it just really makes my day when I serve a hot juicy burger to a hungry customer and to see their smile is just really a neat feeling but yeah I could easily be a world champion boxer right now and probably have at least 4-5 different division titles, it's really easy you just hit the other guy more and harder, and promoting is no different you just have to out promote the other promoters it's really really easy

It has been that way from Jack Kearns all the way to Don King, Bob Arum and the rest of the carnies. They make money by selling tickets, not by telling the truth...…Rockin'

Sorry this **** never updates me on threads I've created so I forget about them for a bit usually thinking noone has replied. I will search for a link but he said it a few times with Kugan, especially when shooting the **** in the car when he was asked if all the boo's get to him. He also said in the lead up to the Burnett interview when he took Zhakiyanov and people cried he ducked Tete, Eddie said in interview on IFL to blame him. His fighters duck no one. He is the one will make sure they are getting the best they can and that may result in them not taking a fight that the fighter may want. In the same interview he said he doesn't mind being a bad guy, and his aim is that fighters under him like Burnett should not only make a decent living, but should be set for life, with house paid off and future plans or he has failed his job and if he needs to look like the bad guy to fans so be it but don't blame the fighters. I will try to find the clips but with kugan/Eddie/ifl they have bloody verbal diarrhoea there's ****ing loads of videos though the Burnett one should be easy to find as it was over here in the O2.

Cheers for the replies.

Caareer movement wise I am not sure I would be able to do better than the like of a snake warren but yeah I am also guilty of, armchair cornering especially with Shane McGuigan, being pretty confident I could do a better job, deffo in the fights that dont go to plan as he seems lost.

edit: also how the **** do you actually spread rep around i can never green people ffs lol
