Eddie Talks About His Twitter Critics

Watch from 8.45min mark.

Could young Edward be starting to flap?

Talks a lot of sense to be fair.

That gave me a good laugh actually. What a load of waffle.

I saw this yesterday he is right some people on twitter take things too far but i still wont be buying it

Surely the title of this thread should be "Eddie Hearn stops short of calling STRONGBACK a sad obsessed stalkerish little w*nker!"

The stalking continues..........

This interview is being debated on several boxing forums, why not here?

Eddie is putting on a poor PPV and knowlegable boxing fans are calling it for what it is.  The know nothing fans that Eddie has brought to the table are still defending him.   Time will tell how influential the opinions of more knowledgeable boxing fans has in putting off people buying the PPV for this show.

What I find amusing is Eddie is starting to get hot under the collar. When a fan attending the November show said he was disappointed that a PPV lineup would not be better Eddie retorted 'I'll buy your ticket back off you I could sell 20,000 more'.  Hearn would probably sell it on Stubhub for  a 200% markup.

Callum Smith 1/10
George Groves 1/100
Degale 1/6
Joshua 1/43

Well Eddie if there is pages and pages of this then maybe they have a point. If he was the boxing man he claims to be he'd take the feedback onboard rather than branding them "Lemons". Talk about treating your fans as customers.....

There are pages and pages of people saying the likes of Justin Beiber and Nikki Minaj are the best thing since sliced bread....I know any number of people who would disagree...violently!

Stop trying to make yourself sound superior because you have a little more knowledge than some people. Everybody is entitled to their own opinions without having some pratt talk down to them like a child.
To most of us it's not worth it and we therefore won't be buying it. It smacks of Mr Hearn trying to get as much out of it as possible but 'hopefully' it will fail and we won't have to put up with it again. If it doesn't and it's a massive succes then maybe it's us 'snobs' that have missed the point. (Please don't let it be a success though)

This is a fair point Derby, Hearn will not care who buys it, only that people do buy it. Whether the person paying the £15 can give you chapter and verse on the career of Sam Langford will matter little to him. I dearly hope this does not sell, but it would not surprise me to see it do OK. Bellew talks a good fight and you suspect both will put themselves about to sell this. The odd press conference shoving match is likely, if enough people can be fooled into believing Haye Harrison was a legitimate match up or worthy of spending money on I would not make any assumptions as to folks gulibility.

Like I said last week...Eddie Hearn in "promoter looks to maximize profits" shocker

What's he doing that any other semi-smart promoter wouldn't?

Admittedly I haven't bought tickets for an Eddie Hearn promotion but I'm fairly confident that if I did, there wouldn't a representative from "Hearn Crime Inc" holding a gun to my head and I doubt anyone else who's purchased a ticket has had one held to their head either

Terrible PPV's are damaging to boxing. As boxing fans we should criticise these shows.

One thing I would highlight, is that unlike the Haye v Harrison match up, this one is a pretty good fight.

It just doesnt deserve to be on PPV!

We should also call out Eddie for being a sneaky, silver spooned, faux East End barrow boy. They are the worst type, they think everybody is beneath them.

I personally think chip on their shoulders, humourless Irish folk are worse but each to their own.

As Michael Caine said, in the timeless classic 'Austin Powers: Goldmember':

'There are only two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures... and the Dutch.'

STRONGY's not intolerant...he's just a twunt

Maybe it was cunningly disguised or just, as we suspect, missing entirely

I would also disagree violently however you can't deny like them or not they are two of the biggest stars in the world. They are extremely popular hence pages and pages of people saying so. The masses don't tend to be wrong.

And there we have the crux of the issue/your hang-up.

Nah.........I can spot a w.anker pulling the wool over peoples eyes a mile away. I just don't like hypocrisy and pretense if the truth be told.

Strongy i dont like the ppv and wont be buying it but for god sake get over your eddie fixation its just strange

Indeed, Wheels, genuinely OCD to the point of slightly disturbing, as well as down right pathetic.

As long as Eddie continues to poison the airways with his his lies and greed I will feel compelled to bring some balance to the discussion.

Whats your problem?

I don't follow you around so why do you pop up with your guff every time I post. On top of that you never actually have anything to say. You're a windbag plain and simple.

Too much irony in that post

There's no irony in that post. You're a stalker. If its not me then its Truss.

He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy.

You know sometimes i think strongy is taking the p1ss because you do make me laugh

However, there are always glaring errors of judgment made...using STRONGBACK as an perfect example, never underestimate people's ability or willingness to make complete c*nts of themselves

Fixed that for ya!

One thing is for certain; you can never have too many anti Eddie Hearn threads on this site, keep them as we're such a willing audience.

Get many more and I am in danger of missing D4.

Good point, maybe we should do with all Strongy's obsessive Hearn threads what we did with all D4's tedious Manny dross and consistently merge them into one thread, since the subject never really changed anyway.

I'm bringing new material every time. Eddie just said anybody who voices descent about his November PPV is a Lemon. By the way that includes you kid.

Nobody calls me a lemon and gets away with it! Grab your pitchforks and torches, townspeople. We're marching on Hearn Manor!

Relax its all.right don't you remember Eddie can do whatever he likes with impunity as he's a BUSINESSMAN.

I'm sorry Strongback but your apathetic stance won't get you anywhere, you're too laid back! We need to stand up and fight these injustices.

We're here, we're queer! We don't want PPV!

Who says he gets everything with impunity???

And what's wrong with being a businessman as well???

Think you might possibly need some professional help over this Strongy as your obsession now seems way over the top. It's like your in a cult that decries him as the devil.

And before you start your everyone on here loves Eddie but me, you do realise a lot of people on here (including his 'favourites') have said this PPV is pants and won't be paying for it.

When Eddie tries to polish up a turd and sell it as gold people like you say "that's ok because Eddie's a businessman and as a businessman he's fully entitled to rip the fans off."

Let's face it you're a casual who thinks British boxing started with Eddie.

Let's face it, i've never claimed to have the superior knowledge of yourself and onetwo.

We can also face that your obsession is slightly creepy and borders on stalkerish.

Eddie's a businessman and entitled to do what he thinks is best for his business and his employee's (not just his boxers,) If it works then he's done the right thing by him. If it doesn't then he'll have to try something else.

-I think Matchroom has been good for British boxing the last few years, we've got to see some good matchups and he's brought Froch to the masses.

-This PPV could be a big mistake as it has the potential to turn fans away when it could have been used as a big Saturday Fight Night show to bring more fans in.

-Until the whole of boxing changes (including us fans) we're going to continue to see mismatches as the dreaded loss can derail a whole career.

I'm happy to debate the pro's and cons of any of this with you but you act like a conspiracy theorist if someone doesn't see things your way.
