Eddie Hearn: If Jake Paul Loses, His Career Is Over - MMA Fighting

Eddie Hearn discusses how they determined Canelo Alvarez’s next fight, how other promoters feel about him, if Matchroom Boxing is for sale, why the Amanda Serrano vs. Katie Taylor rematch didn’t happen, if Holly Holm or Cris Cyborg could be next for Taylor, if Devin Haney could return, Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury, and more.

When people talk badly about you, it's a good thing. Call it jealousy or whatever, but ultimately they hate on you because you are doing something that bothers them or you have something that they want. All these promoters talk crap about Eddie because they are wary or unhappy with what he is doing. Eddie should keep doing what he is doing. With people like this, the best thing to do is to smile and keep doing your thing. Best way to deal with bitter losers.

Firstly I totally believe the best option vs GGG is to walk forward and throw shots I believe Martin Murray showed that works but he couldn’t keep it up, if you give G the space he gets his kos… Now one thing I don’t like with Hearn now is he keeps saying they had the contract signed for G so it had to happen, however before the Bivol fight he was saying Canelo and G have signed BUT Canelo has to win for that fight to happen, I believe Canelo stops G early this time very similar to Rios vs Alvarado trilogy, but I do believe this fight should of only been talked about when Canelo loses as a easy come back fight and not been built up off a Canelo win over Bivol, I’m more excited for Canelo come back vs G now than I would of been had Canelo beat Bivol ;-)

[@panamared760]

GGG best chin in boxing Canelo is trying to get a Psychological edge with the trash talking,yeah GGG is getting older but he don’t fear Canelo and nobody is getting knocked down bet the fight goes the distance

[@michaelhill2300]

@panama red a lot of people watch the Canelo vs G fights with eyes closed, in both fights G dipped a few times from body shots and Canelo pulled back for breathers, I believe more experienced Canelo at Supermiddle goes all out and stops him to the body, again just my opinion like you have an opinion but after the fight maybe one of us will have that as a fact, enjoy the fight ;-)
