Comments Thread For: Hearn: No One Said Anything About Smith-Groves In Saudi Arabia

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK Eddie Hearn understands some of the criticism he has taken for bringing the Andy Ruiz Jr.-Anthony Joshua rematch to Saudi Arabia. What Joshua's promoter doesn't respect is that there wasn't any anger expressed publicly when two other British boxers, Callum Smith and George Groves, fought in Saudi Arabia last September. Smith knocked out Groves in the seventh round of their WBA super middleweight championship match September 28 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Hearn keeps stepping on his own feet. If he has Andy under his spell, shut up and let the spell work. All this jolopizing after his petty fine print was made public. Wilder was right, Andy is a slave. Four crowns and still getting told what to do, where to go, and what to get paid. That is the really ****ty part about it. The ****ty pay and he has to sign another contract for S.A. Hearn never wrote a contract that wasn't self aggrandizing .

Yea. I honestly didn’t realize that Saudi was more money than the fight would have been if it happened in the US and/or England. I was talking *****, but have to eat my words. 40 million site fee? Like, not including Tv money from any broadcasts markets ? That’s a no-brainer.

And also, Hearn has a point about the WBSS as well. It all boils down to money, so it is what it is.

I think something is wrong with me. I’ve agreed with Hearn twice in the last 4-5 days. I think I may have to deactivate my boxingscene account.

Look at it this way. Unless Ruiz gets blown out in the rematch, he’s set. I don’t think anyone blows him out cuz he’s too good a boxer and has too much heart and chin. But should he lose he gets more big fights and more $. If he loses a close fight in rematch, he gets Wilder - fury winner. He’ll be fine.

Groves vs Callum coulda happened on the sun. Fans are more into HW fights like this one & Joshua is 100x more popular than those two combined & they have actual interest in Joshua fights.

Maybe it was murdering journalists that made people think differently this time

[thack]

In another interview Hearn tried that bollocks about money not being the primary reason that it was spreading the 'gospel' of boxing ...lol what a ***head... nobody really gave a fuk about Groves v Smith if anything the interest was lost when the location was revealed .Ruiz v Joshua 2 belongs any where apart from S.A. .What's Edward going to do with the old boy shaking like a leaf the whole trip.

Well what is this goof crying about? What is this blog about? Why is he justifying anything? why don't you log out until fight night, if all we have to do is watch the fight?
