Eddie Hearn

And every time I go to a new country, they know who I am. Now they want to know who's fighting. But me being there and boxing being there and Matrim being there is enough to penetrate that market. And that's why UFC and WWE have been so successful. So back to your question. That's what I am. I'm a salesman. I've been a salesman since I was 14 years of age. It's my greatest asset.

It may be one of my very few talents. But that's what I do. I get out there. I'm the only promoter in the world Fuck that. I've never had one note in my 20 years of promoting boxing. I go up there, most of the time I don't even know what I'm going to say. I've got 16 fighters sitting up here, from four round fights to world championship fights.

I'll turn up, I'll do my interviews and the live feed, the floor manager will go, we're going live in 3, 2, 1. I've absolutely no idea what I'm about to say. And I'll tell you the entire card, the entire fighters, their entire records, their entire stories, all within one 45-minute show. And that's because I live and breathe it every single day.

And I'm the only promoter in the world that does that. The last promoter that did that was Don King. Probably one of the greatest promoters of all time. Not in terms of his ethics, but in terms of the ability to know there was a show in town. Don King would make you know. That guy would go around with a megaphone on the streets of New York, screaming and shouting. And that's what it is.

It's a dying breed of promoter.

Bob Arum ist 93 Jahre alt. Das Ding, das Bob jetzt mit mir zu tun hat, als wir hier sitzen und reden, ist die Longevität. Ich weiß, du musst den Wunsch respektieren. Er ist 93 Jahre alt. Leute sagen mir immer, wie lange du das tun willst. Du bist auf der Straße, du machst das und das. Ich sage, ich liebe es. Wenn ich das nicht mehr tue, wäre ich wahrscheinlich müde.

Aber ich weiß nicht, ob das 50, 60, 70 ist. Bob ist 93. Bist du verrückt? But Bob did Thriller in Manila, Rumble in the Jungle. I mean, you know, I can't, in terms of legacy, I can't yet compete with Bob Arum, because that comes over time.

But what I can do is, in terms of ability, in terms of selling, in terms of promoting, in terms of engaging the audience and spinning the narrative, you know, I don't care to say I'm the greatest promoter of all time, because that's what I truly believe. And life is about confidence as well. What do you want me to do? Wake up and go, I'm average?

You know, oh no, I'm okay, but I'm not as good as that guy. No, I'm better than you all. And I'll show it now in this press conference. Fucking turn the mics on and go live. You know? And that when you live and you breathe it, you have the confidence to be able to do that kind of stuff. I can talk any time about any fight, any situation.

And of course the bigger you get and the bigger your business gets, the less fear you have anyway. So you end up just being completely honest. Because you don't give a fuck. You know? I care about the business. But really I don't care what people think. I don't care what people say. I want to create storylines. I want to create narrative. I don't want to be a clown.
