EDDIE HEARN ANSWERS FANS' QUESTIONS - PART TWO (JULY 18TH 2013) - WITH KUGAN CASSIUS

[@BurkeBoxing]

I have so much respect for what hearn does. Big fan from NY here.

[@simonleary2912]

Great question and answer Kugan and Eddie great to hear your honesty

[@RyanABC2010]

MY FAVORITE SHOW AT THE MOMENT IS IFLIM LONDON. BOOKMARKED THE PAGE! YOU GUYS HAVE MADE BOXING BETTER.

[@thebigb3ard]

Great interview as always, hope this doesn't get taken down cause Frank Warren s name was mentioned and he throws another hissy fit again.

[@TheVoodooLion]

fights which is why Ifilm London plays an important part for British boxing. We could have been sitting looking at the post fight press from last nights fights and the post fight with Price and Thompson and all the other interviews that go with it but instead we are scraping the barrel trying to find such videos if they exist. Its times like this you appreciate what Kugan, James and the team do for us boxing fans and i hope we can get some BoxNation stuff back on soon.

[@gcirc]

The out drinking who u take with you question is class

[@HSVIRK]

that trip to america helped the channel grow bigtime.

[@markybyeah]

Eddie bad boy

[@lozkina]

glad the vip ticket thing as been cleared up I missed out one drink i got

[@simonleary2912]

Hes from the steel city!! thats how we roll!!

[@thedjrichkid]

kuuugan you haven't posted a video for the past few days we want to see some post fight interviews with Dereck and Malik or atleast your review on the fight

[@OasisManUtd1]

"Take Floyd out who's the best boxer on the planet?" I was fucking waiting for him to say Carl Froch!!!

[@Prolix8]

Pleasant interview. One thing I did find slightly annoying - which has nothing to do with you Kugan - is Eddie Hearn's obsession with Carl Froch ('Froch this, Froch that blah blah') but apart from that, it was good. Thanks for also clarifying the situation with Box Nation.

[@TheVoodooLion]

And about the Froch and Taylor i know its possible Ward may have done better but the fact of the matter is Froch travelled over the pond to defend his belt - something he did voluntarily, nobody forced him into it. I used that as an example to gauge who has the most heart and balls and it would take a great argument to prove Ward does in fact have a bigger heart and balls than Froch.

[@LogicalStatements3]

Next step surely has gotta be a Kugan and Eddie google Hangout session live.

[@sajaadbeg]

cant believe Kugan didnt get Eddie to elaborate on the Brook vs Broner thing.. thats fuckin HUUUUUGE.

[@OasisManUtd1]

Kugan try get Eddie and FW together for a Q and A would be gold haha MAKE IT HAPPEN KUGGIE BEAR!

[@MREGGGOD1]

Great job Eddie, we all appreciate your honesty , top man, well done Koogy !!

[@PandorasLuckbox]

I like your videos ifilm but could you possibly make at least one video without horrible a hissing noise? I can understand it when there's lots of background noise at some press conference or whatever but in a video like this? sort it out.

[@88ItalianStalian]

Your right Vitali is a more exciting fighter to watch and was definitely a top class fighter in his prime he proved that against Lennox what a fight that was!! Lennox stopped him on cuts and they were horrendous but Vitali was actually winning the fight on the scorecards and was quite happy to carry on fighting in fact was incensed that the ringside doctor stopped it but in all fairness although Vitali was still landing great shots if it had carried on his eye may have never been the same

[@bestofthebestboxing]

Kuggie what's happened to the intro IFilmLondon music nowadays, have you lost it on your computer or something?

[@samharper5881]

I hope they put off Butler-Yafai for a bit. Let it brew for a bit, lads. It looks like Kevin Satchell is probably going to have to move up too.

[@THEDAVMAN100]

Haha Kugans face when Eddie said he'd have Rees with him if somethin kicked off,thinking i'd fuck Rees up! lol

[@nealmagee]

Think Eddie has done well for the short time he's been in the game.

[@TheVoodooLion]

I am not expecting Vitali to be fighting huge names all the time, he has definitely proved himself enough but if you hold a world title you should be defending it regardless of politics or what goes on in his personal life. Carl Froch since Vitali's last fight has defended his belt twice and a 3rd is announced against Groves before Vitali has even announced one. He should give the belt up you cant go nearly a year not defending your belt.

[@richarddavid4459]

As a keen strategists. . I think you should cover box nations shows.. 1st you got to this position by covering shows and doing a wide variety of interview from lets say very interesting characters. 2nd it keeps you prominent and interviews will slow down involvement of compitition.. in addition as disorganized as box nation clearly are "cowboy outfit" they will at some point have a big fight you want to ne in a position to cover fight.. btw.. just 900 live gate for chisora v malik for a t.v show

[@maddog4rmhell]

ive subscribed with seconds out as a result.

[@88ItalianStalian]

His purse for the Dawson fight was close to 1.5million im sure he doesn't struggle! And I respect that he realises theres more to life than money your saying he doesn't make a lot of money but he has an Olympic gold medal in a very tough weight class and is still a millionaire and hes unbeaten and universally recognised pound for pound! I agree his style is not the best to watch but neither is Floyds so what they still the best and I personally like watching defensive prowess

[@TheVoodooLion]

Probably the next thing posted will be the Froch/Groves announcement presser. There is a delay now and i can hazard a guess at why it is being delayed - they will be evaluating it's PPV potential. Maybe if you stuck Bellew and Stevenson on there it may be justified or another big world title match. Regarding recent post fights It shows you how good IFilm London are, secondsout were there and a few others but they couldnt even get any interviews and Kugan would have had he been there.

[@88ItalianStalian]

Listen boxing is pugilism which means its the art of hit and don't get fucking hit so with that in mind Wards style is one of the reasons he is so successful its hard to make an engaging fight and be great at slipping and bobbing and weaving punches, Ward and Floyd are counterpunchers this is what they do!

[@TheVoodooLion]

He did pull it out of the bag for Kell before he went and got himself injured twice. Kell wanted a world title shot and Eddie delivered, its not his fault what happened after that. Senchenko has only been beaten once and he is a tall lanky boxer so it will be a good experience for Kell. Im sure a world title shot will follow from that but the fact of the matter is Kell DID have a chance to have a title but he blew it by training too hard and being over zealous with his huge training team.

[@88ItalianStalian]

For your information Haye vs Fury is an intriguing fight for a multitude of reasons one of which ironically IS there personalities which may play more of a part than you think but smart money is on Haye by knockout in the middle rounds unless he fights really conservatively like he did against Wlad! To me Fury looks like he could be a really good fighter but he was chinny against Cunningham in his last fight despite the devastating KO win and Haye has a lot more stopping power than Cunningham

[@88ItalianStalian]

And you definitely implied I didn't know what I was talking about but you picked the wrong person this time because I actually know too much lol!

[@grimegage4479]

Eddie Hearn is a good promoter only thing is he can't pull the strings of the boxing boards like frank warren can but that will come as he gets a few more years under the belt

[@BSEmadcow]

Brook Vs Broner would be a great fight stylistically.

[@TheVoodooLion]

Yep defo. Earlier in the year when Saul refused to be on Floyd's undercard unless he accepted to fight him, i was thinking to myself, "why is this guy in such a hurry to get his first loss?" When he does lose to Mayweather i think he will go on another long unbeaten run and it would be great to see his only loss as coming from Mayweather. This could have been Ward he definitely has the capability to be a PPV star but he shows far too much reluctance. Ward should fight Stevenson next LOL.

[@dannyed85able]

Can't fault Eddie Hearn top bloke and mega promoter......kugan Cassius needs his own show

[@88ItalianStalian]

You make a good point but different governing bodies have different rules so its hard to say I know a lot but I don't know there inner workings but I know Vitali pursues a career in politics outside the ring a pretty successful one because I assume you know both brothers are highly intelligent and actually have phd's and do use Dr as just ring names they actually are! I can only assume he gets extensions on time to fight mandatories due to other interests

[@TheVoodooLion]

I know its a funny one because Ward and Floyd are similar yet i respect Floyd so much more. Floyd WANTS to fight that is the difference. He is 36 years old and is taking on Saul next who is a big threat. All his career he has jumped through weight classes and won different titles throughout. He put boxing back on the map and Ward's greatest achievement to date is the Super 6. (and the gold medal). He seems content on winning the Super 6 to be his legacy and wont contribute anything else.

[@KlashaB12]

i think he said in the last part that he is fighting lopez

[@boxinggreatness]

iFilm have added another dimension to boxing and changed it in this country. Interviewing with Matchroom is great and Warren has absolutely shot himself in the foot with action against iFilm because there is little or no coverage of Chisora or Cleverly now. Eddie Hearn could be the next Don King, get the best fights on Eddie! Brook v Mayweather..Go!

[@LogicalStatements3]

Would love a boxing channel.

[@TheVoodooLion]

also why do you think Vitali is not being forced to fight but Froch was forced to fight Groves? Ward got stripped of his belt for inactivity too i believe so why are the rules different for Vitali? I dont claim to know everything about boxing ive only been a fan for 4 years and i am still learning too but it is a sport i am beginning to get passionate about. i am 29 and was always into football but now i love boxing past and present i read alot about it too but i dont understand this.

[@nathanpritchard6933]

He is ranked about 11 or 12 by most of the major organising bodies.

[@DatNiggaDhang]

Why no Interviews for the fights last night with Chisora & Billy Joe?,,, Have you been banned by Ol' Fish Eyes?

[@88ItalianStalian]

Gurrerro is a much better known and just better fighter than Senchenko hes a 3 weight world champ and his only recent loss is against Mayweather!! If he stopped Gurrerro who is tough and very awkward but I personally think Robert is a great style match up for Brook with the speed and accuracy Brooks got! If he beat the Ghost pretty sure he would get a world title shot in his next fight because Kell has blown it with Alexander who looks like he might actually fight Amir Khan in the future

[@thebigb3ard]

Senchenko, definite.

[@22woodhead]

Kugan banter interview style is best. I think sometimes he can be hard to watch.

[@88ItalianStalian]

Ward is a hometown fighter but he earnt that right sort of when he won the Super 6 outright! You cannot compare Potvetkin and Ward because Povetkin is a protected average fighter and as much as I don't like Ward he is an amazing fighter man always finds a way to win and stopped Chad Dawson in his last fight too which is impressive fair enough Chad was weight drained from light heavy but he took the fight and however much anyone groans Ward thoroughly outboxed Froch despite one judge being blind

[@davidbamford8525]

Heard Senchenko has agreed a fight in Ukraine August, I'm thinking Mosley or Lopez

[@TheVoodooLion]

If you watched the whole session, he would have told you why. Frank threatened him with legal action over comments made by Barry Hearn in an interview. He has not been banned from Frank's shows but in that situation it is best to keep away for a while. Agreed there has been alot on recently Ifilm has not covered but had these legal action threats not been made they would have been there covering the Price fight and last nights fights, etc. there is no post fight interviews of any of these

[@jameswilson1984]

Did you give him his money back? Haha quality needle there Kugan!

[@TheVoodooLion]

I didnt think you were a fan of Ward on the basis that he doesnt have many fans anyway. People acknowledge him as a great defensive fighter and pound for pound #2 but thats as far as it goes. Boxing is an entertainment business too if we had too many Wards it would be boring as fuck. Fighters with heart and balls win the fans, people who take big risks. Tyson is taking a risk against Haye - Groves is taking a risk against Froch - this is what people want to see. Ward is not on the agenda.

[@KlashaB12]

would love that but i doubt it, its probably going to be lopez or senchenko

[@mob5482]

If the opponent is Lopez, I think that's a great fight. He will test kell imo

[@TheVoodooLion]

I didnt accuse you of saying anything because i have not read any of your comments but reading your last few at least you make some sense unlike some other people ive got into a debate with. People seem to think Tyson will EASILY beat Haye, were is the sense in that? Tyson COULD win but it will be far from easy. its true Hughie may well turn out to be better than them both, i agree with that. Hughie is exceptional i dont think he will beat Mike Tysons record but he will win many belts.

[@kevinboyle1765]

whats going on with legal proceedings from frank warren?

[@barney7877]

Wladimir unbelievable really! What about Rigo ,Ward, JMM!

[@alexwipe]

i was thinking the same...he's too pally!! love him though!!

[@88ItalianStalian]

I never abused any1 Koogie Bear its all banter mate all jokes aside I think you do a really good job and a breath of fresh air to british boxing which is a big compliment but I was referring to previously where YOU have definitely withheld comments obviously I know Helder has done the same to me on the Iron Horse videos even though the posts were eloquent, sensible and real! Watch out Warrens about LOL nar I reckon you should make counter legal proceedings citing the loss in coverage as a result

[@michaelmckiernan3569]

Top QnA with fast car eddy

[@nathanpritchard6933]

Eddie seems to be pulling it out the bag for everyone other than kell.

[@martking80]

set me on him kuggan

[@mikejones-ql3ju]

wots goin on with kell brooks next fight an who its against an when will bellew vs stevenson gonna get announced

[@TheVoodooLion]

For Hughie to beat his record he would have to win a world title by next xmas and i just cant see that happening. He should not even think about that record he will still be an amazing boxer it doesnt matter if he is the youngest ever champion. if this was a different area he may well have done it but the Klitschkos hold all the belts and Vitali doesnt even fight much a joke he has not defended since last September with no defense on the horizon either. its a wrong time to go for youngest ever

[@nathanpritchard6933]

I haven't renewed my boxnation either. Only thing is with mayweather card. Don't know if I can't do it!! Might have to surrender. But will he put on decent undercard himself to back it up for the whole night. Probably not. And doesn't seem to. Eddie needs summat BIG in September. And it's got to be Lopez. Shenchenko fighting in August. He ain't got the bottle to do Guerrero. I don't think! Moseley and van Hereden wouldn't be classed as a step up.

[@88ItalianStalian]

not saying Floyd doesn't fight the best he has his whole career and for the record I believe he would have schooled pacquaio would have kept manny off balance with footwork and mannys power would be irrelevant but anyway point im making is that Floyd knows exactly what he is doing he knows Saul is the real deal not just hype anyone that has watched him fight more than a few times could tell you so really he is being very smart because Saul is still a bit green he was getting caught by Trout

[@obasiogbuke]

Brook vs broner, make it happen fast car!!!!!!

[@1985JM]

when will bellew fight stevenson.........i hope its in 2013.??????

[@thebigb3ard]

I think Frank Warren should be ashamed of himself for threatening ifilm, u guys do a great job for boxing and he,in my opinion, bullied u because he didn't like what someone said in a perfectly calm and interesting interview with slow car hearn.

[@ThePowellster]

Has nobody figured out the real reason for this Q and A? Eddie is using it as an opportunity to let Frankie Gavin know that he wants to sign him! It's obvious. How many times does he reference him.

[@LogicalStatements3]

What the fuck is wrong with Frank Warren, you don't threaten the Kugan, it's not on.

[@88ItalianStalian]

I respect Floyd more also but he has been doing this a lot longer and he comes from a true boxing family with his uncle and father Floyd is a complete fighter he has everything and love him or hate him and personally I like him he has a personality and persona Ward could never come close to matching! Its like you think I am a Ward fan which I certainly am not I'm just real Ward to me is a boring fighter never says anything worth a soundbite, average lack of humour commentator and headbutt style

[@88ItalianStalian]

Listen I love Frochs style and he's a great fighter no doubt but you cannot bring that Jermain Taylor fight up like Ward wouldn't have destroyed Taylor more easily get real!! Taylor HURT Froch badly in that fight he admits that's the most hes ever been hurt, he was way down on the scorecards and props to him for getting the fight stopped in the last few secs he was legitly teeing off on Taylors chin it was a snatch and grab win, one of his greatest and thanks to his great stamina

[@citybod]

my opinion......the kid hatton boxed whose name i cant spell......senchenko?????

[@5irFergie]

not sure about brook in a street fight, wouldn't really class him as a brawler

[@88ItalianStalian]

Don't kid yourself Taylor would never in a million years have come close to beating Ward, Abraham finished Taylors career straight after that fight with another KO lets be real Taylor was a beast when he beat Hopkins twice but he was a faded fighter in the Super 6 was a classy boxer with skills but he started getting knocked out too much! Taylor starts fights amazing with his speed, jab and combinations but fades badly in the second half of a fight wasn't surprised when Carl stopped him

[@rexseven]

Love fast cars slippers!

[@theravemusicarchive6519]

Eddie Hearn is asked "If it all kicked off in a bar whilst out drinking, which 3 fighters past or present would you want with you. Lee Purdy, Kell Brook and Gavin Rees. LMFBO..

[@bestofthebestboxing]

It must be Josesito Lopez, at the end that's the only name he said fully. It must be

[@jimweir1182]

Who won the best question prize Kuggan?

[@88ItalianStalian]

Also if you know the politics behind the Klitchskos then you should know they are Ukranians heavily adopted and loved by Germans and Germany they have a massive TV deal there and managed to set up there own promotion company K2 aswell so they can actually make virtually the same money fighting taxi drivers as they would a world class opponent with a name because they can pack out an arena in Germany and get X amount of pay per views on their name alone so why would they fight dangerous opponents

[@wahdncx]

who is kell facing? come on hearn you said a week, it didnt and now youve said youd do it today, still noting, your letting us down

[@NiceOne1706]

I never thought of it that way,obviously Ifilm arnt the flavour of the month at the moment with Frank Warren and BoxNation.I find the whole situation pretty childish to be honest,Warren lashes out at Hearn in an interview and nothing is said but when Hearn retaliates Frank threatens legal action.Instead of trying to make things personal they should let their shows do the talking.

[@braddog1000]

Eddie hearn and kurgan Cassius kind of look alike sounds strange but I just think the lovebirds do

[@BoxingBadBoy77]

Hearn wants Brook vs Khan because of the money. He doesnt give a shit about british boxing, it's just about a pound note to him.

[@ryanmichael5239]

The fighter kell brook will fight Is Senchenko 100%

[@daveysmith1457]

ricardo mayorga not kell brook

[@georgepeers]

Senchenko??? What?. ..you've got to take the wheels off at some point...I get that brook needs to move forward after carson jones...but really thought he'd get a better opponent than this!

[@paulhagan29]

senchenko 100%

[@88ItalianStalian]

Should not worry about that it doesn't matter he will be a world champion unless he manages to lose his work rate and drive because he's definitely got the talent but your forgetting that because of the modern age of the "Super Champion" which is Wlad at heavyweight your forgetting the regular champion is Alexander Povetkin and that's still a legit world title technically! But anyway please don't get me started on pensioner Vitali who USED to be a great fighter but now just batters tomato cans

[@nathanpritchard6933]

Carson jones was more a test.. Genuinely couldn't be more gutted.

[@LogicalStatements3]

ha ha , you got told.

[@VultureGOW]

Million percent sure its Lopez.

[@88ItalianStalian]

Senchenko even though a former champion and he stopped a pensioner Hatton lets be honest I love Paulie Malignaggi and he's a classy boxer with great technique and an iron chin but lets be honest he doesn't hit very hard and he stopped Senchenko!! Don't see how now Senchenko doesn't even have a world title, was never really a big name outside of Ukraine even as a champion how a win over Senchenko really adds credibility to Brook and I love Kell and he will be champion he should fight Gurrero

[@craiglogan2011]

its lopez its only name he said by sayen first and last name

[@boxinggreatness]

Yeah Eddie properly loves Froch. Silly really because everyone knows he's not as good as Ward and tbh Groves could beat him with his speed and angles. What's Eddie gonna do then? Switch to Brook?

[@TheVoodooLion]

Nope he was not banned but when you are threatened with legal action when your doing this for free then what is the point? The losers here are us the fans and BoxNation itself not to mention their stable of fighters who get the best exposure from IFilm London than any other channel. I hope they have a chat soon and sort things out they should just both apologise to each other and move on after all this was over Barry Hearn comments not anything Kugan has said himself.

[@88ItalianStalian]

BUT your delusional if you think he hasn't fought the best he stopped Chad Dawson since the Super 6! Probably the reason Adonis Stevenson knocked him out in the first round aswell because he's damaged goods since Ward destroyed him! Also Floyd is SO clever he has fooled you and everyone else don't get me wrong Alvarez is amazing the way he stopped Jossessito was brutal the Trout fight was close but he won but Floyd is fighting him at the BEST time for Floyd, Saul is only going to get better

[@_-_.7]

My 3 would be Tyson, Eubanks and vitali klit. Tyson to knock the fok out of anyone Eubanks for the same job and vitali to jab the shit out of everyone.
