If you want to listen to an entertaining interview, find a boxing promoter.
Don King’s interviews were legendary. Bob Arum’s were chock full of stories. Lou DiBella’s were full of piss and vinegar.
And now Eddie Hearn’s are enlightening, combative and brash, all while sounding elegant with his British accent.
BetOnline’s show “Politely Raw with Pacman Jones” had the boxing promoter on as a guest yesterday and it did not disappoint.
We transcribed the first five minutes and there are some tremendous quotes. There are great nuggets throughout the whole interview.
EDDIE HEARN EXCLUSIVE: The Truth About the Dana White Beef & Sweet 16 Upset Alerts!
It’s @REALPACMAN24, it’s @politelyraw, and we had @ErikBadApple speaking with the one and only @EddieHearn.
