If you ever want a fight prediction or my opinion on anything boxing related just tag me into a tweet. I’ll always give you my honest unbias thoughts.
Eddie Hearn definitely made a ton of mistakes when launching Matchroom USA - mostly with bombastic statements that you could say match Dana Whites initial Zuffa boasts
But that’s a better line up of shows than Zuffa have slung together. Especially when you remove the Ring cards
Eddie Hearn was on @InsideRingShow today and took his shots at Zuffa like he's been known to do. But when given pushback on comparing Matchroom USA's first year to Zuffa's, he didn't really answer the bell. A reminder:
I am friends with a couple of people who know Dave fairly well. They both tell me that he’s so high on the spectrum he doesn’t understand how he comes across. He’s totally unable to differentiate between his opinion and his total refusal to accept that it’s not a universal view.
I haven't cared about his views of anything in years. I was just pointing out where his obsession with me came from, and it had nothing to do with anything but somehow being mad at me because people he swore would never make it ended up being among the highest paid and most successful in the history of the industry.

I’m not sure that anyone wants to see this fight. What size venue do we think they could legitimately sell out?
I know Eubank has a following of sorts, but after a one sided loss to a smaller - bang average - Conor Benn is there interest watching him box a long retired Brook?
🚨 EUBANK-BROOK PRETTY MUCH AGREED
✅ Ben Shalom: "I think that's the fight that the fans want to see. I think that's the fight that sells. ... I think the fight happens. Terms are pretty much agreed on both sides." [@ProBoxingFans]
👀 EB understands the working date is Feb. 27
Unless I’m mistaken. Turki has spent 10’s of millions to bring Canelo back - Only to spend 90% of the fight chatting to the bloke next to him. He’s barely watched a second of this!
I’m not sure he was ever the Hardcore Boxing nut we were led to believe a couple of years ago.
Genuine question. What Hall of Fame ballot is Dave Meltzer talking about here? Does anyone know?
Please tell me that it’s his own!
The last Hall of Fame ballot that got him in, he was 7th out of 100+ candidates on the ballot among his peers. Considering who else was on the ballot that year, that finish is outstanding. So you'd be so dead wrong. Today, given it's six years later, I'd be certain he'd fare at least as good if not better.

Jim cornette…. A guy who worked with Orton, Cena and Lesnar in OVW and hundreds of other guys over the years knows less about wrestling talent than a journalist with a messiah complex.
Omega is not an All Time Great! What metric are you basing that on?
When did he first tell you that AEW would become a success, do strong PPV numbers, do multi million dollar gates and would be in line to get a strong TV deal. When did he first tell you Owens and Zayn would be making millions in this business. When did he first tell you Omega would be considered by his peers an all-time great. If he knew ball, he'd have said it before me on all of these acounts. If he learned quickly he'd have said all that shortly after me. If he was a fraud, he'd try and deny or try and explain why none of this counts.
Turki promoted both Fury vs Ngannou and Joshua vs Ngannou. Plus Rico vs Usyk.
People can pay for a blue tick and tweet all day. Doesn’t mean they know even basic facts about boxing.
The Zuffa fan accounts will defend this. But it is significant. They took a huge bath on Garcia v Benn. If Turki isn’t fronting the losses then Paramount+ will expect value for money and boxings inflated fees don’t always offer this.
More proof no entity can take over the sport
Eddie Hearn was born into wealth - and to be fair he’s grown the boxing business massively. No one can question his work ethic or success.
I wonder if Dana has the same energy about his good pal Donald Trump whose father was a property magnate?
I doubt it
Agreed!
Bivol is a horrible fight. Superb boxer and not going to sell half the tickets Yarde would. Beterbiev either smashes him up or is called old if he loses.
If Buatsi beats Hutchison that’s a great fight. I think he needs a recognised domestic opponent more than a title.

After getting his 15mins of fame this millennium Rick Glaser - he with an unspecified supplementary role in boxing - has taken a stream of L’s.
Eddie will only do the fight if Ronnie O’Sullivan gets paid - Wrong
Fights off 3 days ago- Wrong
Dana is the promoter - Wrong
Oh dear
@DanaWhite & @Turki_alalshikh will be the promoters of Fury-Joshua.
Dana White will not be at tomorrow's Press Conference in London as he has a prior commitment in Las Vegas in regards to the UFC Contender Series.
Enjoy your Tuesday.
Exactly the kind of sloppy nonsense we’ve come to expect from Sela - with their ‘we’ll figure it out later’ contracts.
The retired p4p king is being touted by Coppinger (a complete TKO/Turki shill) for a fight without his apparent knowledge.
Everyone should be aware that Coppinger is not an independent journalist.
He’s a mouthpiece for whatever Turki/Sela/TKO want to be posted publicly.
I very much doubt the fight is cancelled because Sela weren’t allowed to breach THEIR OWN FUCKING CONTRACT!
Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua could be called off due to issues, according to sources, and a replacement fight between Terence Crawford and Ryan Garcia is being considered.

Stuff still to sort out with Aj v Fury:
When is Fury enrolling with VADA…
Is Dana/TKO involved?
Who walks last?
Home dressing room?
L/R side of the poster?
Who gets fights on the undercard?
Have I missed anything?
These separate contracts are wild.
🚨 FURY-AJ PRESS CONFERENCE IN DOUBT
Eddie Hearn: "IF there is a press conference next week."
"Why wouldn't there be?"
Hearn: "There's still stuff to sort out. We're not gonna come and do a press conference until — you got to understand, so far in the contract that we signed, there has been about 6 breaches.
"We keep letting these guys [get away with it]. We give them the benefit of the doubt, we act in good faith but they don't. We want to make sure everything is in order [first]. I'm going to take care of business." [@IFLTV]

It’s not complicated
MR/AJ specified the Uk in their contract. Later on Turki/Sela/TKO pushed hard for NYC instead
MR/AJ dug their heels in
Faced with either the Uk or breaching the contract Sela chose the sensible option
This is company propaganda from a man with no shame
Fury-AJ is happening in the U.K. because @Turki_alalshikh ultimately decided to stage the bout at Principality Stadium. He’s the organizer of the event, and it’s his call in the end. Everyone had 10-plus years to make the fight and it didn’t happen until Turki came around. Just the facts.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Fury-AJ is in the UK per Joshua's contract; Hearn and Joshua refused to amend it for a US venue despite pressure from Turki Alalshikh, SELA, Netflix and others for better US viewership.

CompanyNelson retweeted
This is total speculation - but @EddieHearn mentioned on several interviews that Fury has already breached the contract and they could/should pull out the fight.
He’s not said what or why. My guess is this is drug testing related…. Enrolment etc?
What else might it be?
Called it! Crazy how sloppy these two contracts were, especially considering it’s a 150-200m commitment.
🚨 FURY-AJ DRUG TESTING WASN'T ADHERED TO
👀 Eddie Hearn: "[The drug testing protocol] wasn't adhered to in its form. I don't actually necessary blame Tyson Fury for that. As we've found out on many occasions, what's in AJ's contract is not necessarily in Tyson Fury's contract. Testing was supposed to start when the original contracts were signed and it didn't for them. And I don't think [Fury] had in his contract that it had to start then. This is not me saying, 'he didn't enroll.' I don't think he was obligated to enroll [in his contract] but in our contract, he was."

This is pretty obvious spin. Fury didn’t care less about doing the fight in the Uk.
I’m absolutely not buying into Eddie Hearns victory lap, but Frank/Tyson couldn’t give a shit where it was. Matchroom at least put the UK in the contract, which is the sole reason it’s not in NY
“TYSON HAS MADE THIS FIGHT HAPPEN BY COMING TO THE UK”
@FrankWarren hits back at claims that Eddie Hearn and Anthony Joshua are the reason why Fury vs Joshua will now likely take place in the UK and not the US 👀
Do you agree with Frank?

I really wish that the commentators quick to call Ryan Garcia the ‘Face of Boxing’ accepted that he’s the face of American Boxing.
Joshua, Fury and to some extent Inoue are bigger global names.
Face of Boxing and Pound-for-Pound are two totally different lists. The most marketable fighter doesn’t always mean the most skilled fighter
