Barry Hearn interview

[Glass Joe]

45 minute interview by i film featuring Barry Hearn, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6-HH1h_jLw

You notice the Hearn's don't have steam coming out their ears or emails coming out their back pockets within 15 seconds of the interview starting.

[zero]

I usually like the Hearn’s although I think Barry was being a little arrogant in that video. Having a pop at Hatton and McGuigan. They all wish they could be Barry Hearn... Ricky Hatton will be remembered before Barry Hearn...

[robster]

I've always liked Barry Hearn and Matchroom do have a great reputation, but there is a fine line between confidence and arrogance and I think it got crossed there.

Saying that.... Yes I would love to be Barry Hearn, only a little bit younger

At this current stage of their new careers I think its fair to say they do wish they could be Barry Hearn. Or at least have the TV dates and financial security that he has. Arrogant of him to say so, but each of them would swap places with Hearn in a second.

Always a good listen is Barry, enjoyed it

[The Insider]

Enjoyed that a lot

[Weirdyman]

Has it been taken down? I got about 20 mins in, then came back to it and it's gone.

[Parson Cross]

Oh no ........ not the dreaded Solicitor's letter !!!!!!1

[15829]

Did hearn say no Matchroom fighter would fight on BN never got a chance to watch it

[DMA1987]

Oh no ........ not the dreaded Solicitor's letter !!!!!!1

Wouldn't surprise me, Barry tore him a new one in that vid.

Can imagine FW's blood pressure rose another couple of notches.

Says the lower ones may like they are now (Ryder), but none of their marquee fighters.

That Hearn interview was a beauty, he absolutely owned w*****

[Glass Joe]

Yeah Kugen will have to learn you can't be best friends with everyone in boxing. Hopefully the interview gets put back up it barry was taking the biscuit.

[rio]

Hearn basically said his son is better than all the other promoters put together (imo...not hard when your the only one with a sky deal)...said warrens company is in financial ruin and when asked about warrens comment about driving him out of boxing....he said the only way warren is driving him out of anything is if hes his chauffeur!!! Also said he would never let any of his main fighters fight on allegedly however fighters less established like ryder he has no problem letting them fight on other channels.

Good interview....wonder why it got took down.

Couldn't be any more libellous than what FW said about Purdy.

Assumed it was fact, he doesn't strike me as a bulshitter.

Barry himself tweeted he was in the sauna with Purdy, breaching board rules.

It's the letting live part the board are worried about. Purdy was taking off too much weight.

[Quixall]

Great interview, i loved it.............

I have always liked Barry and Eddie is just a chip off the old block, good luck to them both, great guys.

Also, a shout out for Kugan. He does some top interviews. I love ifilm.

And FW's accounts are there for all to see.

[mullenman]

was a top class interview by barry,,
he is the sort of man you would like to go for a few beers with

barry ill have a pint with you anytime,,
you can buy as well with your deep pockets,,,

[Manchester Hitman]

Wasn't Hearn and Franky in business together briefly on some new venture a few years back?
I remember reading about it vaguely - it obviously went tits up real quick and I guess that's whats really started off the beef....it might even be the reason why Barry sent his son fast car to 'evenge' him for Frannk running him out of boxing

That's what i was thinking after that interview !!

Barry is one of those people who makes everything sound so simple and makes you feel 12 ft tall

[WelshJack]

I know this has been taken down, but any chance I can still watch it from re-uploads maybe?

Wasn`t it a tweet from Eddie not Barry I think and it might of just been a jokey comment which has been pounced on because in Barrys interview he said they didn`t go in to a sauna.I might be wrong though
