Why do the fans boo Eddie Hearn?

I can’t quite get my head around the booing of Eddie Hearn by fans at his events.

Yeah ok he’s the money man and a fast talker but they are at his bloody event, he has been delivering big events, has built the profile of British boxing up massively.

If you don’t agree with his methods don’t buy his ppv’s and certainly don’t pay for a ticket to go to his event.

It’s nonsensical.

Think it's become just a jokey thing group of people started probably because they knew his ego couldn't take it and it's snowballed from there lol

I don't think there's much in it. I remember last year at an NFL game at Wembley, Neil Reynolds, the Sky NFL anchorman,got booed. I think it's just a bit of pantomime fun.

Maybe it's a WWE thing. Vince McMahon made it cool to hate the boss :maybe:

But yeah in all seriousness I can't think of any reason to have a problem with Hearn. He's a great promoter. That being said, the card over the weekend sucked so if they were strictly booing the card that's understandable, but it seems like they boo Hearn all the time, which is just silly.

Probably because the way he can go over the top when talking about Joshua and on that particular night cos of the stoppage

Other than that I don't mind Hearn, he's done good things for boxing in the uk

Hearn puts on good shows and has done a good job promoting Joshua.

Would we rather go back to the warren days of padding out Hatton and Calzaghe before they fight a guy that’s a risk?

And Mick henessay... let’s not even go there!

Different class of promoter really

Basically this, it's just fun for people to have someone to boo whilst chanting the same thing all night!

I couldn't be a promoter.

I'd have anyone singing along the seven nation army tune dragged into the ring and put to the sword.

Same goes for the England supporters band. I'd beat them to death their own trumpets.

:OhYes:

I've never known of a promoter that was cheered. That's like a politician getting cheered at a baseball game. It rarely has happened.

I believe the crowd boo Hearn because they disapprove of his homosexuality
