He’s a good talker and clearly good at what he does, yeah he loves himself but guess you need to have thick skin when you are in the limelight that much.
the limellight is his choosing, so he leaves himself open to it. there have been bigger promoters who werent constantly setting up photo and video shoots of themself (many which dont have to do with any fight hes actually promoting). al haymon for a good few years was arguably the most powerful man in boxing with barely being seen, let alone filming pretty much everything he does, eagerly trying to get on camera at every weigh in and fighter entrance (or even flying into the ring before fights are even over lol), etc. even de la hoya is less attention seeking and self promotional. im surprised eddie hasnt commissioned an interviewer to turn up and get his take on the sh!t he took this morning. actually i better check youtube, maybe he has :lol:

i have much respect for him as a promoter, and i understand that being visible is part of that to an extent, but as a personality hes gotten so tedious and oversaturated for me after all these years, and i pretty much never watch stuff with him in it any more after initially liking him more than most.
Yeah of course he puts himself out there, as you say that’s his choice but he loves the limelight so an ideal job for him. He’s good at what he does though, having money or his dad behind him of course helps but I think he’s just a natural salesmen and you either have that in you or you don’t.

That's all, really.
If anyone else has never met Eddie Hearn can they also share that with us?

We can all swap stories about not meeting Eddie Hearn.

I didn't meet him at the Bruno v Bugner fight back in 1987 at the old White Hart Lane, even though we were both there.
I went to Tesco last night and didn’t meet Eddie Hearn, although in hindsight he may have been elsewhere, I can’t be sure.

His dad offered me a job once at a meeting at a posh hotel in London in the 90’s, but Eddie wasn’t there.

I saw him at the Usyk-Bellew media workouts.

My first thought was, “Damn, he’s tall!”
