Muhammad Ali you were a special human being may Allah grant you the highest place in paradise ameen and like you said to your family in your last moment not to be uppset he is going to Allah how beautiful a love between God and his servant may you remain in peace and paradise ameen
Ali stood up for black political rights and also was proud of being a Muslim when society at that time wanted him to be defeated inside and outside the ring. He stood up for what he believed in at a time when great inspirational figures such as Malcolm x and Martin Luther King were executed when they also stood up for the same thing.
Just about 6 and a half minutes in so far... I have to comment on Eddie saying that Ali 'did it without the benefit of modern day media'.... whilst he is right, you have to realize that when Ali was coming into his own... live television was really kicking off and getting into gear... people could now watch the biggest events in their own living rooms... this was huge.... and although these days we have the internet and social media... media itself is much more fragmented nowadays as there is now something for everybody... If you are interested in a very niche, specific thing, you can come online and look at videos and websites and news and discussions all dedicated to that one thing.... you can be ignorant of other platforms and interests and everything else.
"David and Tony have had a few chats about it" followed by the standard Matchroom "they don't particularly like each other!" Line, of which translates to: This is going to be PPV so buy it to watch two people who don't like each other try and hurt each other... so transparent
You can't dislike Eddie Hearn just like his dad full of energy, speaks from the heart and seems to love boxing. Glad someone young like him is making a mark in the sport...timing has been kind to him getting froch vs groves was a brilliant domestic fight which hopefully a lot more to come as we have so many world champs
How's that Eddie Hearn's fault. All he and AJ's management have done is maximise the opportunity for their client. He's right Smith and Flanagan are fighting bums in half empty venues
No his not _ how the fuck could he be _ his a mr MANTADORYS _ come on _ do you really think aj should be on PPV _ and it's not the money that bothers me , it's PRINCIPLE
What we learnt from this interview - Brook will fight Vargas at bramall lane in late summer,crollas will fight linares and he doesn't rate Martin Murray at all
27:20 that sounds good. GGG vs Eubank jr. would be great! Eubank jr is probably the second strongest Middleweight right now. He was impressive against Blackwell and he developed a lot in the last two years.
Only Eddie can say that Liam Smith doesn't want these fights, but his last 3 fights he's picked up a world title and looks in the running for a massive payday with Canelo. Seems alright to me.
***** fury himself stated ,he thought klits threw it so that he could win it back and be a three time heavy weight champ like the greatest of all time ---ALI BUM BY EH ALI BUM BY EH-rip the greatest -he so bad he make medicine sick
Bellew v Haye actually makes a lot of sense for Bellew. There's some good fighters at Cruiseweight but there's no fighters that are going to get him a big payday, or anyway sort of PPV fight, which is where the money is. So generally in boxing when there's no money in your weight division, you move up or down and Bellew isn't making 175 anymore. On average, todays modern heavyweight is far too big for Bellew but Haye is a small Heavyweight, so if they can find a catchweight then they it could be done. So in theory, as unrealistic as Haye v Bellew might sound, realistically it's probably the only big payday around for Bellew, no doubt he knows that so he's keen on it.
bellew gets millions to fight defenses even if there not know so hows that no money they just want like 7 to 10 mill there fuckin greedy cunts wats wrong with defense for 3 or 4 million tell me how that is no money but hes prepared to get knocked clean out by haye for a couple more mill and lose his pride and have another loss to his record there is no sense what so ever bruvvah!
Troopz Bellew doesn't get anywhere near 3 or 4 million per fight. The money available for the main event of Bellew v Mukabu was only £1m, so even if he got a 75% split, he still didn't make a million. There's nobody at all in the Cruiserweight division that will generate enough money to make him close to £3m, he will be lucky to get close to £1m for any fight at Cruiserweight, that's just how it is. Even the Bellew-Cleverly rematch only had £1m to spend for the whole card, not just their fight. It's just not a high earning division and despite there being some decent fighters, most of them couldn't sell out their living room which means Bellew isn't going to make that much either. Bellew will be one of the biggest draws and highest earners in cruiserweight but even he needs a dance partner like Haye if he wants to make millions for a fight.
This is the guy who would've criticised Ali. Proposed for Ali to be banned. Would've been promoting someone like a Frazier. The hearns are a bunch of twats. They are funny sometimes and can promote but in the end he's what is wrong with boxing
Seriously guys, there is no way Eubank can beat Golovkin, GGG is better than him in any department, except maybe handspeed Fed up of people bashing GGG, there are no elite fighters in the middleweight division apart from GGG and Canelo and Canelo isn't a middleweight according to him Keep talking and calling him out, yet making no moves to do anything about it
***** yeah well there are other attributes, such as heart, determination, chin I'm sure many people thought Bute was more skilled but Froch walked right through him Ortiz was more skilled than Maidana, but Maidana was willing to walk through fire to get the win, Ortiz wasn't GGG is more skilled though, I don't understand why people think he is just some puncher He won silver at the olympics...
+Brit Boxing Fan sorry wasn't actually replying to your comment, I agree though I'm looking forward to the rematch. I was saying how can you possibly say Eubank has more heart than BJS? 1 is fighting for world titles and one is clearly good enough to but chooses to stay at British level
+Brit Boxing Fan I understand about wanting the lonsdale belt but why fight for an interim belt, fight a final eliminator for Jacobs and then call out Golovkin, only to go back and fight for the british? Capable of winning a world right now although I slightly favour Saunders
Eubank Jr had his chance to fight Danny Jacobs and he chose to fight Nick Blackwell instead. How about putting him in with a Murray or a Lemieux or Stevens or even a Khomitsky ffs? lol
Surely kell brook did not earn 600 k for jo jo dan, gavin or bizier. But he is still a great fighter, He beats every welterweight comfortably... besides thurman and bradley
Warren had the cheek to say Joshua has to fight the best now he's world champ, look at the dross his world champs fight, Jimmy kelly, Flanagan, fana, radosevic.... I'm not here to defend the breazeale match up but people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
guess you don't even know anything do you. he never went to prison. 5 year sentence was overturned by the supreme Court after 3 years of appealing but he missed his prime cause he couldn't box. Eddie said "I think he went to prison" so get your facts right before accusing someone
"Would Eubank have beaten any one of Golovkin's opponents so far?" "Yes" Errrr, no he wouldn't! Lemieux & Willie Monroe Jr both beat Eubank. Rosado, Stevens would have a real chance too
I'll be the first to concede that the standard of Box Nation's cards and indeed the profile of the majority of their fighters aren't on par with Matchroom's, but I think it's hypocritical of Eddie to say Liam Smith hasn't fought big enough names to warrant a fight with Kell Brook whilst he's facing that exact same problem in trying to get Kell a big fight in the the US.
The impression I'm getting is Hearn has influenced Bellew to call out Haye to draw the attention and pressure away from Joshua in case Haye is Mandatory. To slow him up.
I'm a floyd fan, but Ricky Hatton fight he was not liking, joe Cortez helped floyd with constant breaking when up close, I'd of liked to see that fight with a referee what let it go
Not only does Eddie think Ward was wary of Cleverly, but also that Eubank could cause an upset against GGG. In what world could Eubank beat a man like Golovkin? Eubank was getting cleanly hit by Gary O'Sullivan, imagine what would happen if GGG hit him?
Hearn getting carried away with the Eubanks confidence(RE Golovkin), they were confident of schooling Billy Joe and look how that went. Sorry but no way is Eubank Jr. even close to being ready for that fight.
In my opinion, GGG destroys Eubank and takes years off his career. If I remember correctly, Eddie was saying the same with Quigg against Frampton and he was completely incorrect there (i.e. being around him and telling him gameplan etc).
+John Haigh you're telling me he can sit and slate Haye and Smith's opponents but can promote an IBF Heavyweight title between Joshua and Breazeale? Breazeale is fucking shocking and has barely won a round in his last 2 fights as well as being dropped
+YoungCmaccmandagunman mcc You saying Briggs hasn't a chance??...Briggs is no joke man...Obviously I think Haye is gonna win that one too but Briggs can certainly win it too.. hes a beast, been around for years, been in with some big names and given them a good go... he's a very good boxer and has the power to put Haye away if he can connect
I think theres a chance fury could be the next Ali depending on how he does over the next 5 or 10 years, he definatley speaks his mind and the main stream media hate him as the main stream media in America at that time hated Ali. In time Ali became an American legend obviously. Time will tell
Muhammad ali is not the type of person that comes around once in a lifetime...he's the type of special person that comes along once in history!
Eddie Hearn gets too much stick. He's the best promoter in Britain!
Frank Warren all day long
well there only 2 really so not that hard, i mean hennasy is shit and would be fucked without fury
I'm joking btw:P
yeah know doubt,he's easily got the best stable and pays his fighters on time,unlike Warren
+Paul Lum (Papaulski) £600k on Eddie being the best
Muhammad Ali you were a special human being may Allah grant you the highest place in paradise ameen and like you said to your family in your last moment not to be uppset he is going to Allah how beautiful a love between God and his servant may you remain in peace and paradise ameen
Ali stood up for black political rights and also was proud of being a Muslim when society at that time wanted him to be defeated inside and outside the ring. He stood up for what he believed in at a time when great inspirational figures such as Malcolm x and Martin Luther King were executed when they also stood up for the same thing.
GGG vs Eubank is a clear PPV fight (not just a hearn PPV fight but a real one).
''Mark de Mora learnt how to box on youtube". I just fuckin burst out laughing
Ali had Parkinsons. Dementia is a very different illness. Ali never lost his soul or personality it was just imprisoned in a non compliant body.
Love him or hate him Eddie is a one man show. Great entertainer.....
one sided though never seen a upset in his fights
eddie is the don
The king of promoting.
its spelt Muhammad. get it right kugan
shut up
Just about 6 and a half minutes in so far... I have to comment on Eddie saying that Ali 'did it without the benefit of modern day media'.... whilst he is right, you have to realize that when Ali was coming into his own... live television was really kicking off and getting into gear... people could now watch the biggest events in their own living rooms... this was huge.... and although these days we have the internet and social media... media itself is much more fragmented nowadays as there is now something for everybody...

50 mins lovely kugan I'll be listening to this when I'm working cures the boredom.
You can't dislike Eddie Hearn just like his dad full of energy, speaks from the heart and seems to love boxing. Glad someone young like him is making a mark in the sport...timing has been kind to him getting froch vs groves was a brilliant domestic fight which hopefully a lot more to come as we have so many world champs
hearn cant talk about beefy being gifted titles when AJ beat martin and we all know how martin "won" that title...
+Gasline. Xyz the title was vacant that martin won
bellew just won a vacant title
How's that Eddie Hearn's fault. All he and AJ's management have done is maximise the opportunity for their client. He's right Smith and Flanagan are fighting bums in half empty venues
+Leary thats no exscuse not to fight them, because the fights that could be mafe between MR and BN would fill out arenas
Welcome back fellas, its been a while
Can see uncle frank twitching his neck watching this
Eddie Hearn is an alright dude. I use to dislike him but the more you see and hear of him the more you realize he is an actual spot on guy.
No his not _ how the fuck could he be _ his a mr MANTADORYS _ come on _ do you really think aj should be on PPV _ and it's not the money that bothers me , it's PRINCIPLE
Billy Joe hasn't boxed through injury. yet when brook doesn't fight for over half a year through injury its different.
too true my friend.
why have you got a picture of tyson fury and you call yourself team groves?? casual wanker
+Allan Hope haha would be allen hope. how does that make me a casual? go jump back on Femi and keep commenting on peoples knobs ya freak
+Team Groves lol
Or he told Frank and loads of others that he couldn't get himself motivated for Bursak.
Frank's face when next year Eddie has beefy, billy Joe and terry under the match room label 😂😂
Will never happen. Billy Joe is too loyal. Not sure about the rest.
+Adrian Morton it's not really about Billy Joe being loyal. I hardly think Matchroom will sign him anyways.
+Adrian Morton Money talks..Whoever you are
What we learnt from this interview - Brook will fight Vargas at bramall lane in late summer,crollas will fight linares and he doesn't rate Martin Murray at all
Kugan v Hearn boxing charity match!
Been waiting for one of these since the last one came out, enjoying it so far!
well finish watching it, then comment u bell!
+mike prince finished it a long time ago mate,and I don't have to watch it? Unless I loved eddies face,more than capable of listening and commenting.
+mike prince 😂😂😂
No one is better than anyone we're all equal
Everyone's bic'd up was the best line in the interview hahahah
I think Kugan and Hearn should do something like that together and film it all...some kind of physical activity... it would be brilliant!
Kevin fucking Hart, a man who could make flatulence unfunny!
Brilliant work with the vids lads. Love an IFL Eddie Hearn interview.
David Haye has managed to sneak in to the no.3 position with the IBF which means he'll be mandatory for Anthony Joshua before you know it.
Parker is mandatory now and it doesn't get called until like September so he wouldn't be mandatory until like October 2017
+David Brown where as Tyson Fury's mandatory gets called within two weeks of him winning against Wlad.
IBF is a corrupt joke
I actually enjoy listening to eddie speak, the time seems to fly by aswell!
I think Crolla is fighting Linares next.
so does everybody else
Not a mental disease. Motor neurone ... Ali wasn't mentally ill.
If Fury loses to Klitschko, Hearn should put Joshua in with either Haye or Wilder at Wembley next summer.
27:20 that sounds good. GGG vs Eubank jr. would be great! Eubank jr is probably the second strongest Middleweight right now. He was impressive against Blackwell and he developed a lot in the last two years.
love it at the end when eddie talks shit, but its actually quite entertaining to listen to
who is Floyd? naver heard of him.......
ali is the greatest.
good old Eddie gotta love him
Only Eddie can say that Liam Smith doesn't want these fights, but his last 3 fights he's picked up a world title and looks in the running for a massive payday with Canelo. Seems alright to me.
Hearn slates Warren for Smith fighting donkeys then 30 seconds later talks about Joshua-Breazeale lol
David Haye is #3 in the IBF rankings now
Good lord how? I think I could get a ranking in the top 15 at this rate.. And I'm not even a heavyweight aha
#3 in the bin man rankings!
Fair play to Eddie if he makes the GGG fight, love to see him live in the UK!
that sociopathic smirk hahaha
Ali didn't go to prison, he had a 5 years suspended sentence.
well done Eddie you articulated yourself perfectly and great points.
Been waiting for this
well done lads... Great work, more vids with Eddie.......
"The Eubanks are so confident" - something, something, Audley Harrison
I strongly believe fury will beat Joshua .
deluded AJ would knock him out
***** i think it will be a very different fight to the first
***** fury himself stated ,he thought klits threw it so that he could win it back and be a three time heavy weight champ like the greatest of all time ---ALI BUM BY EH ALI BUM BY EH-rip the greatest -he so bad he make medicine sick
***** love it !!!!!!!
+Brit Boxing Fan dont agree on marciano putting ali to sleep. personally think ali would have boxed his ears off.
Would love to see Frank's face when Eddie is talking about Smith/Flanagan/Billy Joe.
Bellew v Haye actually makes a lot of sense for Bellew. There's some good fighters at Cruiseweight but there's no fighters that are going to get him a big payday, or anyway sort of PPV fight, which is where the money is.

Love to see to British world champs in a unification fight fury-AJ so why don't you want to see Crollar-Flangagan ??
Eddie needs to read my article about Ali's history :P
This is the guy who would've criticised Ali. Proposed for Ali to be banned. Would've been promoting someone like a Frazier. The hearns are a bunch of twats. They are funny sometimes and can promote but in the end he's what is wrong with boxing
You're wrong son.
And any promoter worth his salt would give his right arm to promote a modern day Frazier.
I loved him Then over kill Now I love him Again.
What happened to this unification fight happening in Britain that wasn't Brook vs Vargas that he mentioned in one of the other videos?
Seriously guys, there is no way Eubank can beat Golovkin, GGG is better than him in any department, except maybe handspeed
Fed up of people bashing GGG, there are no elite fighters in the middleweight division apart from GGG and Canelo and Canelo isn't a middleweight according to him
Keep talking and calling him out, yet making no moves to do anything about it
I think eubank has the better skills and is a better fighter but GGG wins
Better skills than GGG?
Seriously???
+Michael Stock having better skills don't always mean you win, but I'm sure as a hardcore fan you know that
***** yeah well there are other attributes, such as heart, determination, chin
I'm sure many people thought Bute was more skilled but Froch walked right through him
Ortiz was more skilled than Maidana, but Maidana was willing to walk through fire to get the win, Ortiz wasn't
GGG is more skilled though, I don't understand why people think he is just some puncher
He won silver at the olympics...
Never edit the end out, the randomness makes good viewing :)
Eubank Jnr. has got more heart than a lot of boxers out there, BJS included in that.
Based on what? Saunders has never ever quit
+Brit Boxing Fan sorry wasn't actually replying to your comment, I agree though I'm looking forward to the rematch. I was saying how can you possibly say Eubank has more heart than BJS? 1 is fighting for world titles and one is clearly good enough to but chooses to stay at British level
+Brit Boxing Fan I understand about wanting the lonsdale belt but why fight for an interim belt, fight a final eliminator for Jacobs and then call out Golovkin, only to go back and fight for the british? Capable of winning a world right now although I slightly favour Saunders
+Brit Boxing Fan calls out GGG......fights Tom Doran 😂😂
41:25 'So maybe we'll do Bellew is February and Joshua in the summer'. Sounds like Eddie's become Haye's promoter!
man i'd like to see mikey garcia vs ricky burns. i think that'd be a huge fight
Saturday night boxing world title fights is a good shout by Eddie. But didn't he say a while back sky tv rights restricted the fights he could make.
you should do a celebrity fight night with Ed v Kugan for charity and get fit training for that.
Eddie doesn't want Smith and Flanagan to fight his fighters. He just wants to take Smith and Flanagan from Warren.
I never got Ali saying he thought blacks and whites should stay apart.
Great promotor and interviewee.
Beefy should sign with hearn
Eubank Jr had his chance to fight Danny Jacobs and he chose to fight Nick Blackwell instead.
How about putting him in with a Murray or a Lemieux or Stevens or even a Khomitsky ffs? lol
Surely kell brook did not earn 600 k for jo jo dan, gavin or bizier. But he is still a great fighter, He beats every welterweight comfortably... besides thurman and bradley
Kugan must've been smirking when he said he beats golovkon, Eubanks wouldn't beat Lemieux
Love how Eddie is trying to get Flanagan and Smith to join him through these interviews. #Earnwithhearns
Can someone please explain to me what entitles Chris Eubank Jr. to a shot at GGG?
Warren had the cheek to say Joshua has to fight the best now he's world champ, look at the dross his world champs fight, Jimmy kelly, Flanagan, fana, radosevic....
I'm not here to defend the breazeale match up but people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
stupid question but where do these fights get announced.. like sky sports has jack shit.
Hearn didn't even know that Ali went to prison for refusing to go to Vietnam? Really? Jesus fuck, everyone knows this.
guess you don't even know anything do you. he never went to prison. 5 year sentence was overturned by the supreme Court after 3 years of appealing but he missed his prime cause he couldn't box. Eddie said "I think he went to prison" so get your facts right before accusing someone
hes right about smith getting that gift....crolla has being great
"Would Eubank have beaten any one of Golovkin's opponents so far?"
"Yes"
Errrr, no he wouldn't! Lemieux & Willie Monroe Jr both beat Eubank. Rosado, Stevens would have a real chance too
When people go after golovkin he backs up so if your willing to risk it and push him back you might win but that's a big might
I'll be the first to concede that the standard of Box Nation's cards and indeed the profile of the majority of their fighters aren't on par with Matchroom's, but I think it's hypocritical of Eddie to say Liam Smith hasn't fought big enough names to warrant a fight with Kell Brook whilst he's facing that exact same problem in trying to get Kell a big fight in the the US.
Might want to invest in some lav mics bro. Good stuff btw
He needs to go on an audio engineering course!
The impression I'm getting is Hearn has influenced Bellew to call out Haye to draw the attention and pressure away from Joshua in case Haye is Mandatory. To slow him up.
I'm a Floyd fan but you can't remember any memorable fight that he's had. That's one of the differences of the many
I'm a floyd fan, but Ricky Hatton fight he was not liking, joe Cortez helped floyd with constant breaking when up close, I'd of liked to see that fight with a referee what let it go
when warren looks at hearn and what they are doing he must be sick -
Who's the Birmingham fighter they're looking to get a world title shot? Kal Yafai?
Crazy sport of boxing
... does it make sense Kugan?...y...yes...Eddie...
Can't slag Hearn off if he pulls off GGG v Eubank JR. What a fucking fight! GGG will win but an actual proper PPV fight...
Haha the clip cut at a strange time. Guessung that the rock and kevin heart will be there then but no one knows yet 🤔😏
ironman got a marathon in it
Kugan v Eddie Hearn. 4 round boxing match for Charity. That's the answer.
Earn with hearn
Not only does Eddie think Ward was wary of Cleverly, but also that Eubank could cause an upset against GGG. In what world could Eubank beat a man like Golovkin? Eubank was getting cleanly hit by Gary O'Sullivan, imagine what would happen if GGG hit him?
Hearn getting carried away with the Eubanks confidence(RE Golovkin), they were confident of schooling Billy Joe and look how that went. Sorry but no way is Eubank Jr. even close to being ready for that fight.
You have to respect Eubanks bravery if he really wants it
+Just sayin i think the dad dont want junior showing him up or he was naughty at home and needs a spanking
When does he talk about Crolla
In my opinion, GGG destroys Eubank and takes years off his career. If I remember correctly, Eddie was saying the same with Quigg against Frampton and he was completely incorrect there (i.e. being around him and telling him gameplan etc).
Hearn is an embarrassment promoting an event with Breazeale-Joshua for a heavyweight title 🙈🙈🙈🙈
Go on then give us the scoop who should he promote ?
+John Haigh you're telling me he can sit and slate Haye and Smith's opponents but can promote an IBF Heavyweight title between Joshua and Breazeale? Breazeale is fucking shocking and has barely won a round in his last 2 fights as well as being dropped
volume is so slow
Haye vs Briggs has to be next... that Bellew fight can wait
Why for haye to put him to sleep! That fight should only be seen at a fucking freak show event
+YoungCmaccmandagunman mcc You saying Briggs hasn't a chance??...Briggs is no joke man...Obviously I think Haye is gonna win that one too but Briggs can certainly win it too.. hes a beast, been around for years, been in with some big names and given them a good go... he's a very good boxer and has the power to put Haye away if he can connect
Well well well, where the fuck have you been?
So Kell Brook has been earning in excess of 600k per fight? How on earth is that possible!?
I'd say Pacquiao is far closer to Ali than mayweather, as he is an icon that has done great things for his people.
I think theres a chance fury could be the next Ali depending on how he does over the next 5 or 10 years, he definatley speaks his mind and the main stream media hate him as the main stream media in America at that time hated Ali. In time Ali became an American legend obviously. Time will tell
Please don't insult Ali.. Omg..
