[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoter Eddie Hearn was very pleased with the in-ring action that he witnessed in the battle of Youtubers, as KSI won six round split decision over social media rival Logan Paul in a pr boxing match on Saturday at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Eddie Hearn taking over American boxing doe.....one sham at a time

[thack]

Hearn also gave them stick...making out he knew that it was a sham promotion and they 'are not very good' etc. but being the shytehouse he is still wanted the money from this promotion.

The Hearns are everything that is NOT great about boxing!....don't get me wrong there's many in the game like them but the Hearns really think people can't see the fights they could and should be putting on ....not shyte like this!

... "Hearn: KSI vs. Paul Was Everything That's Great About Boxing!"...


... this is a misleading quote -- the guy was much, much more "reserved" in assessing the "meaning" of such a "boxing fight", tbh...

Logaan puts on 15 more lbs and fights Tyson fury in May or June in Vegas haha joking but wouldnt be surprised with the lack of caliber fights furys been doing under this espn plus contract worried more about making it through these 6 fights untouched and everything else outside boxing from wwe to trying to get killed in the UFC than fighting a top 5 heavyweight.

Didn’t stay up for the fight , couldn’t be focked

I’ve heard Saunders looked shiddy

If Logan and Ksi bring fans to the sport then it’s only a good thing . Especially in America

[Scopedog]

The fact that this circus overshadowed so many other legitimate contests is a sad indictment of not only the current state of the sport, but also the media and society in general. I’ll give bscene a little credit for having the Jamal Herring fight as their headline story instead of this.

Hearn looked like a filthy sleaze in the ring when he mentioned people in the community were taking a dump on the fight and said nothing about him trashing Logan and KSI the day before. That was creepy.

The excitement level was high and the atmosphere was tremendous but that was a frustrating fight to watch for anyone spiritually connected to the sport of boxing. That was like watching a chess match where nobody knocks any pieces off the board. They cancelled each other out and there was very good potential for much higher drama. That fight was two virgins trying to have sex.

So let’s recap. In a two week span, DAZN held up the fight of boxings biggest draw (Canelo) out of a sudden realization that they wouldn’t be able to effectively compete against a non-rival MMA bout.

Further bowing down to the UFC event, an event they didn’t even HAVE to compete with... they beg Dana White to play the UFC match during there match as a means of providing a cowardly and thoughtless intermission.

The main event follows footage of fighter nap time and is subsequently lack luster. To top things off with a hand job, we have rumblings through out the fan base, casual observers and industry (true or not true) of a fixed fight.

Week two...

Eddie has two of his best boxers on the undercard of a self-described You Tube “Circus,” bout. He then says the You Tube amateur quality event was the best “boxing,” of the night.

This is the same guy who helped condemn the Mayweather vs McGregor bout that broke financial records and reinforced boxings status as the elite combat sport.

Look... it’s clear DAZN operates like a wheelchair bound crackhead whore during a powder drought.

They appear so thirsty for Guranteed profits that they seem unable to calculate risk and would gladly sell the whole boxing community for change on a nickel?

The evidence is further weaved through out their repeated bumbling and blatent malfeasance going back to their inception.

I don’t want to hear anything more about giving these idiots a shot. No way do I trust boxing in their hands. Should we let them have the reigns, boxings brand will be completely destroyed in a matter of years.
