Will he answer how many UK subscribers DAZN have? Or why he turned his back on Brook for boxing Crawford yet still rimming Canelo after being ditched for the Plant fight?
Of course he won’t answer that. He won’t be allowed and it’s not his place to. Did he ever answer how many subscribers Sky had in the U.K.?

warren is the undisputed bitter king. if someone is a weird person and starts to like him (maybe because theyre a fury fan), they should remember him pulling the legal threats out to boxrec, dude is an absolute bitter grump of the highest order
They all have their moments, but I believe you have crowned the king.

People are obsessed with Hearn, Any time a big fight gets made everyone's asking why Eddie hasn't commented, Fury/Whyte technically has nothing to do with him yet people are infatuated on his opinion, the guys got boxing on strings whether your a fan or despise him
He's put on some poor shows sure, who hasn't? especially someone as prolific as Matchroom but the day he starts getting sued left right and centre then declaring himself bankrupt before setting up shop again then I'm gonna say he's a good guy
The fella Dev Sahni who works for Queensbury put up a tweet yesterday digging at Hearn because "Warren" is putting on Fury/Whyte, fair enough but he could've waited until Eddie had finished the Canelo/Bivol presser

Brook and his team made the Crawford fight behind Eddie's back then came running back to Eddie when they couldn't get a TV deal, Eddie told them to bolt, rightfully so

I know they are but that doesn’t change the fact that Eddie will almost certainly have an NDA re: DAZN subscriber numbers.

I'll always prefer Frank simply because he came from nothing and he's still here. He took on The Cartel, Don King, got shot! Come on lads, he's resilient! Plus my pro boxer friends say he's much better to work with. I liked Duff as well. He sat and talked to me for an hour, twice, as much as he'd talk to Bob Arum, I was 16.

He used to claim Brook was his "mate". Now he claims that Canelo is his "mate".

Didn't our Loynesy offer to fight back for free? A sort of internet Wlad and Vitali move.

I believe he may have done the same with the seconds out forum which was active before the boxrec forum came on the scene. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong

£££
unless it's Canelo the it's $$$
TBH, by that time, Sky was hardly putting on late night boxing unless it was a HUGE fight.
DAZN was just starting out I think in the UK in terms of subs, but Hearn was still exclusive to Sky in the UK at the time.

I used to love Frank when I first started watching boxing as he seemed to be the only one putting on regular big shows whilst the rest were usually in leisure centres or York Hall (nothing wrong with that) and he was an excellent promoter.
What’s inexcusable though is him not paying his fighters (like he did with Ricky Burns and others). He may be resilient but I lost all respect I had for him with that. With Burns the judge said FW was untruthful, unrealistic, unreliable and gave shockingly poor quality of disclosure. He was Burns’ promoter and co-manager and really screwed him by just phoenixing his company again. The BBBC should have done more about it really.
You may take that as being resilient, I take that as being unethical and I would say the same about any promoter who did similar.

He's a boxing promoter, being bitter and chatting shit is in the job description. Admittedly some excel more than others in these two areas...

I don't know how any boxing fan can prefer Warren - The lengths Warren went to avoid paying fighters is deplorable, and the lowest of the low when it comes to what goes on in boxing.
I will never be a supporter of that kind of action.

Do you really think that they are Eddie's "mates"?

I was going to Fwanks shows before Tyson was born....
Does FW not paying certain fighters not alter your opinion of him?
He's paid everyone I've ever been close to, from ppv world title fights down to journeymen. My pal got his in £50 notes straight after he got out of the shower.

I’m sure that’s true for over 99% of fighters he’s worked with over the years but that doesn’t change the fact that boxers have fought on his shows, taken punishment and haven’t been paid.
