£40 a ticket. Newcastle, includes free glass of wine. This will be up there with the proposed Floyd tour.

I bet he pulls out and is replaced by the Iron Maiden mascot and the promised wine turns out to be Um Bongo.

But the sham must go on.

I'll pass.

in response to overwhelming popular demand, Eddie will go against every fibre and sinew of his being and indulge himself- and, more importantly the adoring throngs gathered- in talking about himself for a night.

Bruno was £30/£40 with photo. Holyfield £60 with a dinner, Hatton £50 with photo and all you can eat Indian buffet.

Why Newcastle , of all places? He must be doing a national tour.

Is this a joke?

Will Glenn McCrory be translating for the locals?

It is, but only for fightpass members......

No. Seen the poster. Steve Wraith is promoting.

Then surely Hearn has lost it; he's supposed to be a boxing promoter - providing good fights and satisfying the fans - he's not a personality or a celebrity.

If Frank did the same thing, would that be different (given that he's been involved in the game a lot longer) ?

Hubris

It wouldn't be any different to me.

Good point. Eddie has only been involved as a promoter for a couple of years.

I can't believe that anyone would pay to go and listen to Eddie talking for a few hours. He does enough press and interviews every other week as it is. Unless he's going to be getting up and singing and dancing to 'Uptown Funk'....

Talk about milking it.

At least warren would have some great stories, eg getting shot, dealing with tyson and king, calzaghe/hatton storys. Hearns only been in the business a couple of years. Not sure why anyone would want to piss away 40 quid to go to this

He Couldnt talk about his roots & how he built the business up like FW because basically he didnt...

£40 quid is only 4 pints in London

I must be a bit of a saddo, but I'd probably go if it was close to me. I enjoy those kind of events though.

He should give people their money back for the Bellew/Cleverley PPV.

I wonder if he'll retweet pictures of his stooges with their tickets for this ? It's all about the retweet !!

He is one of the better known personalities in boxing. He has 221K Twitter followers. His videos have more views then anyone elses on IFLTV and he gets thousands of questions from fans for their Q&As. Clearly people are interested.

It gets worse, lads... I only glanced earlier. The £40 includes a 2 course meal, no photo. It rises to £100 with a photo!!! A meet and greet is £200! You really couldn't make this up. Have your lads been offered this great opportunity, Parsons?
