EDDIE HEARN TALKS EUBANK CONTRACT / PURSE BID SITUATION & WARREN / HENNESSY PPV EXCLUSIVITY DISPUTE

[@Cornwall1888]

Say what you like about Eddie, he is the biggest promoter in the uk by far, he backs up his claims, he is very honest, isn't bitter and threatens to sue people every five minutes. I believe he debunked warren and Hennessy pretty thoroughly in this interview.

[@tobyh5]

+Cornwall1888 He is the biggest because of a terrible contract for british boxing

[@vinnyvasquez]

+Cornwall1888 A Hearn, honest? Haha. Yeah, and so is Sepp Blatter.

[@Cornwall1888]

***** tell us 3 lies from the interview

[@vinnyvasquez]

Cornwall1888 The coffee mug is actually his, he never paid for that sofa, & the hair on his head is transplanted bum fluff.

[@laidback6068]

he is but he is NOT honest lmfao id vote him prime minister he biggest best liar there is

[@GaryNunn]

That is actually a bloody good interview. Even if you're not a boxing fan, few lessons of how to conduct yourself in business right there.

[@nabeel85]

I love Hearn. Young, fresh, to the point and outright professional. He is the biggest promoter in the UK doing our boxers proud and so instrumental in putting British boxing on the map.

[@anUntouchable]

Eddie Hearn vs Frank Warren 2016 make it happen!! (head to head debate)

[@iamprincehd9452]

Live and exclusive on IFL tv

[@yali300]

+anUntouchable hearn would wipe the floor with him

[@markybyeah]

+iAmPrinceHD - in HD!

[@Kopend09]

+iAmPrinceHD should be on boxnation

[@pikeymikey1990]

+anUntouchable Would probably be PPV though

[@thefootballhistorian1768]

Give the guy a break, he provides great cards for us all to stream for free

[@shanefletcher2728]

Gg

[@davezz5]

+The Pugilist Specialist i pay gladly for ppv and often pay an extra fiver in the way of a tip.

[@peckerdecker]

+Schmichael Owen who watches tv in 2015? its ANTIQUATED! and old

[@MrMoralTurpitude]

Yes stopstream all the way

[@floydhugweather556]

+peckerdecker its more stable than streaming and if you have sky sports you're more likely to watch tv.

[@LondonPredatorAngler]

once again, and I will keep saying it, get them all in a room, and interview them together....

[@fredinatub]

+PredatorBites UK Good comment mate just like they do with the middleweights the gloves are off and shows like that. I think it would be a good show.

[@harrywalton5852]

+fredinabun ; that won't happen because Eddie will want it on sky Warren will on boxnation hennesy on c5 mcquigan on itv

[@LondonPredatorAngler]

they can meet in a neutral place and kug can do the questions

[@Rosie-devine]

Warren would never do it !! He's jealous to death of matchroom and he wishes box nation was as big as sky but it isn't it's crap !

[@thekeypresser]

+Simon Devine BoxNation is a decent channel but the roster of fighters just isn't good enough. Last year Eubank Jr, Fury and Frampton were on the channel. Now even Chisora has gone. I would love BN to succeed but they are in desperate need of British boxers

[@robinhood9613]

Love these insights into the business comings and goings. More please....

[@LiveCustoms]

That exclusive deal was very clever for Matchroom to acquire. Best promoters in the UK.

[@MarvellousDazza]

Eddie Hearn shut everyone up in this interview 😂😂 Say what you want but this man is good for British boxing.

[@lloydwatters9464]

if it wasn't for matchroom we would have nothing to talk about..matchroom is running the show, and it is getting bigger by the day!

[@fredinatub]

+Lloyd Watters Your way off with that comment by the way. First off i want to say i like matchroom so im no hater but you only think that because you get to watch matchroom fighters on sky. Lets say sky worked with all promoters and lets say that all British fighters fought on sky sports matchroom wouldn't be as big as they are so they wouldn't have all the fighters they have and you would see a lot other boxers on a daily basis because matchroom get to raise a boxers profile because they have the outlet but if every fighter had that same outlet then they profiles would be just as high as Joshua and Crolla and Quigg and all the other well known matchroom fighters so matchroom is not the bee all and end all and boxing would still be in good shape without them and as i say maybe British boxing would be better if sky worked with all promoters.

[@marknoel7742]

gotta LOL at casuals like you

[@lloydwatters9464]

+fredinabun ; yes that's why I think it's running the show because they have a partnership with sky..i watched frank warrens show and I didn't think it was great maybe because the fighters have low profiles I don't know..I agree all promoters should work with sky! but the man himself will have a say in that lol.

[@fredinatub]

Lloyd Watters i totally agree with you that when you watch other shows with British fighters on it don't seem as good because we don't know them much.

[@mikeyroberts647]

That long winded comment by fredinabun turned out to bre bullshite then eh

[@bammeruk1]

Eddie Hearn is such a good promoter and is doing an amazing job with boxing. How can people slag him off! Keep up the good work Eddie!

[@SuperGrimupnorth]

really like Kugsns interviews and what he does covering boxing on line.seems to have really good relationships with everyone in the game which brings the best out of them interview wise.....great work

[@SuperGrimupnorth]

sorry....meant to say Kugan

[@frankiecella243]

Carl Stanley ....yeah your right I love he's work also..#topman kugan

[@dobbo_f21]

I get the impression he doesn't want to work with the Eubanks (probably because of SNR) but can't help see the pound signs that come with junior's career

[@dobbo_f21]

+Ben Lowe I can't see bjs giving Eubanks the rematch anytime soon. He says let Eubank go the WBA route but I feel that bjs thinks it's too risky for little reward. Bills joe wants the big money fights

[@davidthomas7108]

+Lee Dobson Must be a nightmare dealing with the Eubanks

[@liamgraham2582]

+Ben Lowe his best hope is that in the future Al Haymon comes calling

[@davidthomas7108]

But he is not going to be able to use his name in the states, this is where he is well known and the Eubank brand is strong and they are burning all their bridges, Boxnation and Matchroom in less than a year

[@laidback6068]

+Ben Lowe yep there going to be working with box nation and al haymon

[@Cornwall1888]

Kugan why do you disable comments on certain videos, they're usually the good ones as well?

[@bigwillyfpv6234]

Watched all of that : ) thank you very interesting. How good would it to have Hern and Warren in the same room having an interview. Could you make it happen boys???

[@christmascarl2000]

Thanks to IFLTV for interviews like these. These kinds of interview are fantastic. Nice to know what goes on behind the scenes.

[@somopres7260]

Kuggz ain’t putting out interviews like this anymore

[@ElMufro]

Eddie is very patient. I don't really care about contract details like this - I just wanna see good fights.

[@Fintanflaherty]

+Chris McFarlane Easy be patient when you have Sky backing you. Although fair play to Eddie. He could sell a gift wrapped Turd to some British Boxing fans.

[@davidthomas7108]

+Chris McFarlane he is also patient because he knows the Eubanks need money, the Dad is using his son's career to pay off his debts, that is why there is always an issue over money, because the Dad wants to get paid

[@edotball]

the fact that eddie was on the table at the vlad fury press conference was abit desperate

[@emanuelcardonadavila6717]

why does eddie get a lot of hate. He is on top of british boxing. Yes he does chat shit sometimes but he does deliver most of the time.

[@rogercooke479]

You have answered your own question, because he chats shit!

[@tobyh5]

+Luis Carlos Hernandez He delivers utter shit in the main

[@peckerdecker]

+Luis Carlos Hernandez what does mr hearn deliver? PIZZA? this man wants to charge LOTS of money for CRAPPY tacky boxing mis matches this why boxing has been DEAD for 16 years- people and poltiics of likes of mr hearn

[@EddieHypemanHearn]

+Luis Carlos Hernandez Because he says things like "I think Brook beats Mayeather Jr." and then manages to hold a straight face after saying it. lol. I think he is great, he is like Ricky Gervais in "The office" and these interviews are like an episode

[@Potatoshaneko]

+Luis Carlos Hernandez Because him having an "exclusive deal" with sky, is utter bollocks. It's ruining the boxing scene in the UK, there are so many people who don't want to work with Eddie... He's a rat and spews more bile than a bulimic alcoholic on chemotherapy.

[@gms77777]

Kugs is really developing the art of shit stirring and taking it new levels....don't get me wrong, I'm loving it, just hope he doesn't disengage those he is interviewing

[@r3dp3anut41]

like the interviews usually but how many times does the question have to be rephrased?

[@jamesjackson88]

Thought he made it crystal clear in my opinion.

[@michaelbartley858]

Really great interview. Learned a lot about the boxing game from this!

[@liammclaughlin6075]

So Sky and Eddie Hearn initially said no to the Fury Klitschko Nov 28th date because it was too close to Joshua's British title fight. Thats what Eddie just said. Then they had a rethink. Or were forced to have a rethink. That's a serious clash of interests. Bottom line - unified HW title fights shouldn't get delayed because of British title fights. In the end sense prevailed. But we obviously need another prominant PPV platform to help avoid ridiculous situations like this.

[@kevinwilson455]

That's a prime example of why this exclusivity is a bad thing. it will be interesting to see what happens with the re-match. Will it be in the U.K on a matchroom card?

[@UnseenSpirit]

Lol when Eddie talked about the planes, I was thinking of his used cars salesman thing, then he giggled and mentioned it lol

[@jduffy8737]

ITV need to start showing boxing matches again, that would make things much more interesting for us boxing fans

[@ryanormerod4470]

This hasn't aged well

[@fitprotunes]

Warren always mentions Matchroom, Eddie only mentions Warren hen they have accused him of something

[@cmsgaming7779]

A saviour to British Boxing!!! Well done Eddie Hearn!!!!!

[@maizemusic7398]

Guessing the new PPV channel from Frank Warren would have to be different from Box Nation. Since BoxNation already offers a PPV for a fight anyway.

[@stannats2637]

Eddie's card at the O2 was fantatich! Thanks ifilm for the footage.

[@dobbo_f21]

This 50min video got uploaded 7 minutes ago yet it's got 2 dislikes already. How does someone dislike a video they haven't even watched?

[@weeknob7979]

obviously hate Eddie

[@s87cgn93]

We dislike conmen like Eddie Hearn

[@dobbo_f21]

+*unknown* i get that totally and i'm no fan of eddie hearn but thanks to IFL we get to see things like this interview that we wouldn't see otherwise. I want to see these interviews as it add's another perspective to things, may not like the person being interviewed but have to appreciate IFL's work

[@markzola8142]

jealousy

[@Kopend09]

+Lee Dobson great words, props

[@anelka10]

Very insightful, I really enjoyed this

[@brightonbadboy4548]

Interesting interview!!!! Thank you IFL for this insight, i want Eddie Hernes job.

[@kickcanlurky7147]

can we not have 2 mics kugi ?

[@jameseverall]

Quite enjoy reverting back to these interviews. Although some of the specific fights etc he's mentioned never came to fruition, in a broader sense, he's delivered exactly what he said he would, and plenty more. Interesting to see what happens in the next 12 months though in terms of his SKY contract, as surely DZNE will be looking at entering the UK market soon. And I would happily pay 100 quid a year for all of that boxing content, let alone all the other sports they already have

[@Jgiuly999]

I think the Eubanks are just scared of the fights that Eubank Jnr will be expected to take in the future. That's why they are retracing their steps by going back to Blackwell for the British title. Whereas, if he remained with Matchroom, he would be expected to take a fight against Daniel Jacobs.

[@footballmanagerraw]

why after paying £16+ for a ppv fight do we not get it in HD?

[@neildriscoll1091]

Eddie Hearn seems like an honest decent bloke.

[@djmassey2]

What Frank Warren interview are they talking about?

[@jkjkjk1116]

I'm shocked that sky would do that deal hats off to eddie the arrangement that they've got is gold dust respect to matchroom

[@ascent7]

way too much talk of PPV...SO US SKY BOXING FANS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ALWAYS PAY OUT MORE FOR A DECENT FIGHT ??

[@joshuaharper18]

+Ben Lowe We won't, that's the thing. Brook is essentially a ppv fighter already, DeGale will co-headline a British ppv card in the USA along with say an AJ or Brook.

[@Kopend09]

+Ben Lowe why do you fear boxnation or free to air itv getting David Haye fight? You love match room don't you?? 😬

[@joshuaharper18]

+Ben Lowe I can't see DeGale being on Sky's standard platform again unless he's fighting in America and its being screened here, why would he? He got 1.3 mil for fighting Bute in Canada... DeGale won't headline UK ppv unless he's co-headlining. Brook will fight IBF mandatory but no doubt it'll be on AJ card or something and it'll be ppv

[@ascent7]

+Donny Danko shut up mug,you prob not a boxing fan..do one.

[@thedon5828]

Why was Hennessy and Fury not informed prior to this and why did the purse split not change after Brook was dropped from the card. I just think this monopoly Matchroom has been given over Sky has gone too far. Nothing against the stable but a competitive market is better.

[@kevinwilson455]

that jumbo jet thing was a metaphor, not an analogy

[@bentley678]

Great interview!!!

[@Hoscitt]

great interview, very interesting

[@ainsleytyronejohn3250]

2 years later and the rivalry is still going strong

[@paranoidreggie53]

Wish sky sports would show the ufc instead of BT sports

[@s87cgn93]

Nope they would make it ppv I'd rather leave it on bt sport

[@paranoidreggie53]

maybes but i dont think they would as its not that popluar in the uk

[@alansmith5731]

Brilliant interview Eddie has integrity like his old man. Any up & coming fighters should watch this. His total honesty in his comment on if you believe in match room as your promoter is essential to understand how he & match room work. As a coach you feel every shot your fighters take, you build a relationship with them that allows you to get inside their heads to understand how they tick. This allows you to handle them accordingly. Eddie shows these attributes in this interview & comes across as genuine. Match room are undoubtedly the main boxing promotion company in the UK. People need to sit down listen to what’s on the table, think could I do this without them! Too many times fighters think they’re being stitched up only to find the grass wasn’t greener on the other side!! What your promoter gets for their work in building your profile is earned by them. Going it alone isn’t an option! So it’s better to go with the best & certainly when they actually have best interests at heart. Match room deliver 👍🥊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@Gypsy_Danger_TMC]

Great interview

Excellent interview.

what was this tweet??

[@shifty277]

Great interview - Enjoy these 30 minutes+ interviews koogs would love a few more with a Groves, Callum Smith, Quigg

[@lw9514]

great interview! v honest! a genuine guy is eddie!

Awesome interview Like them or Loathe them Matchroom has brought boxing back to the big time in the UK, long may it continue!

[@carolinecooper7197]

Chris Eubank Jr your fans need you on Sky Sports...

[@Fuckthishandle1]

What fans?

[@OmarBeowulf]

Why? He could be on channel 5, which is free to air and therefore accessible to more people

[@marshallsimmons56]

Caroline Cooper what sweeping the floor after billy joe saunders, beats George groves, he's not committed enough,so much potential as well, but he's all about the hype and fame around boxing, patronizing trainers and trying to control everything, he'll never improve like that or get top people to work with him on a permanent basis, yeah you get the odd grumpy day with hard training, but you need to let the experts control you and trust to get better, a bit too premaddona ,to be as great as his dad

[@mashiullahravat8912]

Eddie got the game by the balls but him being so humble is winding up the promoters even more. Y don't they just wrk with the man. Everyone will make "carrot". Fucking egos

[@kevinwilson455]

We all know Channel 5 is the home of British boxing....Who the hell are Sky?

[@ThePtno1]

great analogy about the air space and ppv. great interview kugan and Eddie. Eubank will be back I hope

[@davidhickey1555]

his interviews are going to be ppv soon

[@christmascarl2000]

I like Matchroom, and Hearn Promotions. But is it ever good for one promoter to have so much power?

[@Kopend09]

+Christmas Carl no its not

[@shaunshears]

Commenting as I watch I believe in Eddie Hearn you gotta want it both parties as songwriter and charity promoter I wish when I worked with promoters on big festivals that they would have eddies attitude there's always room for everyone to be successful in this life clearer heads need to prevail

[@jameslock9275]

Great questions from kugi bear

[@jacobroberts630]

Why didn't he inform Hennessy? Seems pretty sneaky to me

[@ToriAndDada]

eddie hearn has the whole thing wrapped up , love this guy he is a genius , proper business man

[@leehoward8320]

Hey long is Eddies contract with Sky? Don't think he's mentioned it

[@georgeclarke3133]

If they had a face to face debate filmed by IFLTV Frank would be screaming lawsuits within five minutes ha ha

[@kenny662]

With the Fury/Klitschko fight PPV available on sky box office. You might need to revisit this with Eddie, Kugan.

[@treblebbb5203]

its all very pedantic. matchroom has an exclusive deal with skysports & skysports ppv. however they dont have sky box office which by offcom has to be a separate entity. therefore boxnation can stage ppv with sky box office (ie the providers of movies and wrestling) without interference from matchroom who are skysports ONLY!!!

[@promocontent6982]

kugan mate 30 second ads with no skip are you trying to kill your views or something. Going for the KZbin ads AND the in video sponsorships you over spend this xmas or something

[@MammaZizou]

"24 hours a day" is the moment The Fonz jumped the shark.

[@MrFNWO1]

The distinction you have to make is Sky SPORTS box office which Eddie and Sky box office. Other promoters can put shows on Sky box office but if they want to put it on sky sports box office it has to go through matchroom and I'm sure matchroom get a cut of the ppv etc.

[@justincredible3379]

Haha people slate Brook/Gavin but it's actually the most enjoyable card I've watched in years!

[@jameslock9275]

The gezzer is on point on everything

[@robbobtc8742]

I agree with a great deal of what Eddie says but the PPV figures weren't just off the scale because of Anthony Joshua alone, if that was the only big fight on the night I wouldn't have purchased it. I paid the PPV money because of the entire card so he shouldn't get too carried away by linking the PPV viewing numbers with Joshua.

[@360Fov]

"box nation will probably launch a PPV platform" "BT will probably eventually launch a PPV platforrm" ... Eddie knows his stuff.

[@chr4617]

dazn will eventually launch a ppv platform

[@clubberlang7617]

Always a good listen Eddie, I think you have PPV fights and PPV fighters and there is a big difference, there are very few PPV fighters but lots of PPV fights, I believe AJ is a genuine PPV star but Brooke and DeGale unless they are in mega fights or unification bouts I can't see them doing the numbers

[@sdsdsdsdsdsdful]

interview Mick n Peter about this too

[@TrickyH1990]

So basically im reading this as.... if a UK boxer is not paying a percentage to matchroom they wont be able to box in a huge fight on these shores with another promoter ... Doesn't seem good for the sport and the prosect of undisputed world champions

[@SuperDr999]

6 year deals gotten to his head!

[@mohammedkhan5958]

Eddie hearn a very smart business individual. UK boxing has never been this exiting since the lennox lewis days. Uk boxing is being talked about and thats what matters. For sure some of the fights are not PPV material but people are interested and purchasing, so overall its a win win situation for boxing, the fighters, the promoters, the fans.

[@tommybluenose]

Eddie, Frank, Mick Hennessey & Kelly Maloney all around a table just 'shooting the breeze' would be simply 👌. Cmon Kugan, if anyone can make this happen it's YOU my friend

Eddie they have there own tv box national still pv on different channel..

[@nzrdb6]

ITV could blow Sky out of the game any time

[@callumshaw3629]

+alex campbell No they couldn't? Where would they get the money from? You do realise the reason ITV don't do boxing anymore is because Sky wiped the floor with them?

[@wcw8973]

+Callum Shaw they could

[@darranwalsh4984]

It's the same with football

[@monkeymagic436]

be interesting if warren starts ppv channel

[@s87cgn93]

I'd call him a hypocrite actually thought boxing on boxnation would stay at 12 pound a month

[@thekeypresser]

+monkeymagic436 He needs 10 x as many marquee names in his stable before the subscription service can be justified, let alone PPV! Who are his main fighters? Billy Joe Saunders, Terry Flanagan and Liam Smith? BJS is the only one with any charisma

[@thekeypresser]

+*unknown* it should be £5 a month and £5 extra for marquee fights

[@marknoel7742]

+*unknown* could work out cheaper and better

[@s87cgn93]

[@IsaacJ143]

eddie they didn't sell 4000 tickets but they were simulcast on showtime. Whereas nobody overseas buys your fights.

[@waisy2010]

Hearn vs Warren behind the gloves !

[@Cottam89]

you need to clarify edward that you did not bring wlad and fury to the table and had a hand in promoting the actual fight, from fury's side that was mick and thats the issue, all you did is have a hand in on showing it in the UK, you are not tysons promotor and he doesnt report to you and the furys have nothing to do with you and you should just say that instead of waffling on about how you are the 4th, 5th, 6th, 100th person involved in bringing the fight to sky ppv.

[@monkeymagic436]

did he claim to be furys promoter ........no!

[@tcowan29]

+Machinist He didn't claim he made the fight or that he promotes Fury. He said he was involved in the TV deal with Sky. Very different.

[@monkeymagic436]

+tcowan29 I was answering your bit about Eddie claiming to be furys promoter you said 'your not furys promoter' at no point did he claim he was

[@Cottam89]

+monkeymagic436 you miss the point completely, the REAL promoters are K2 and mick, he jumps to take credit for the fight which he isnt hosting or he doesnt promote the fighters in, all hes done apparently done is been one of many men in discussions between parties involved in the selling rights process or hes given advice to show a K2 fight thats hosted in germany on sky sports ppv in the UK, he might as well brag he helped play a part in the pac/may fight to the UK on sky because he was one of for example 20 men involved in buying the fight rights or that any other non matchroom fighter that gets shown on sky because they bought the fight rights. whoop dee do, the lawyers checking the contracts might as well have a round of applause as well or the guy controlling the live stream from germany, take a bow all you guys are amazing looooool, get your head out of edwards arse sir, like i said you miss the point completely, edward jumps at the chance to brag about his involvement and he didnt play that big of a role, he is inflating himself from others peoples hardwork who was alot more involved and did alot more effort, some of it being a life times worth of work or the tip of their career in boxing, them are the men who should be bragging, men like mick hennessy or the fury's, edward should sit down and shut up.

[@monkeymagic436]

+Machinist I'm not missing the point at all. he's claiming to have a hand in the split between k2 and sky

[@B0X2B0X]

Eddie is just like a politician.

[@TTHT2024]

Think Eddie just smashed Eubank Sr. warren and Hennessy out of the water. Great interview kugan I was glued.

[@mattymat4379]

british boxing is buzzing right now. eddie hearn has played a big part in that. and will continue hopefully.

[@tcowan29]

Not particularly a fan of Eddie but the way he gets under people's skin is hilarious.

[@IAmRJai]

What did Chris 'English' Eubank actually tweet out? Went through his tweets and didn't see anything that bad?
