This is so great of Eddie to actually come to the studio in person.
He does his job well
@aloevv𖤐 he was in new york for fight promotion which is where ariel is based
Really cool to see these two together.
Almost surreal... 🤔
Really cool to see you here too Tim!
A good guest for once
Very eye opening for UFC fans regarding fighter/company $ split no doubt!
@@m.a.w1231 bro ufc is garbage organisation we’re bums are hyped to be “the greatest” and idiots pay to watch this despite it going up $10 per year and by the looks of it no extra to the fighters
One of the most interesting interviews you’ve done Ariel.
Couldn’t agree more
I like Eddie a lot, as far as combat sports promoters goes. When he said “My idea of sensible may be different than, say, Adrien Broner’s” I died 😂
Mannnn I WON THAT FIGHT- Adrien Broner after getting shut out by Manny Pacquio
Adrian is very skilled. The jerkoff won’t let his hands go.
@@oldironsides4107who you think wins conor benn or AB??
I would never put money on bronzer against anybody
Good stuff here. I would love to hear 2-3 more hours of Eddie explaining the fight business.
Should hear him talking about vunerable kids, the guy freestyles from the heart
I think you would like this one, it's about him growing up as a boxing promoters son kzhead.info/sun/p7KOpcahfnWVl4E/bejne.html
@@empathic_mimicry thanks! I’ll check it out!
Facts
His book is great, go audio.. like a 10 hour podcast from him
great conversation. Appreciate Eddie Hearn's honesty when it comes to fighter pay in the UFC
Yeah I'm glad how he touched on both sides. Yeah you deserve to get paid better once your a big star but you also signed a contract because pf the privilege to to get to use the UFC place to debut when you had no star power. Like he said why haven't others left and started their own promotions?
@@craigman7262 its crazy that the ufc has had to tell their fighters to stop talking about fighter pay (sean o’malley said so in a podcast). Like jake paul really did make that big of a wave. I hope the result of this is better contracts for fighters and not silencing fighters into going elsewhere.
@@craigman7262 eddie also said its not right that they get Most of the split
@@craigman7262 even slave trade contracts were signed and legal but coz they were in writing doesn't make them right and fair in anyway. Facts have to be spoken. UFC is enslaving and paying fighters peanuts and UFC has the most shirty contracts more like modern day slavery
@@rima7286 p
Best interview all year.....Ariel had great questions and was very composed, he stayed quiet when he needed to and asked the proper questions at the correct time. I wish, when Eddie Hearn brought up Bob Arum and Crawford that Ariel would ask more about that situation.
Love Eddie talks to every media outlet and always tells it like it is
Casual
Casual
he doesnt tell it like it is with regards to canelo tho.
@Box It is amazing though, how transparently dishonest people somehow collect marks.
Eddie is a really charming dude. I see why he’s at the top of the promotion game. You have to have swagger and the gift of gab.
Eddie Hern is one of the actually good boxing promoters. From his skill at promoting to his heart. Dude’s a pretty cool guy
This might be the best combat interview ever. Learned a lot about the business and process
3rd time In 3 vids I’ve watched Eddie answer this exact same question about why the fight was so much easier to make this time around and he answers it with the same passion and sincerity as the first time he was asked. Gives credit where it’s due to Paul too. You can see why he’s the don of the boxing promotion world!
Probably helps when lou dibella isn’t involved and throwing his toys out the pram
@@nellycameron is Lou not involved with Serrano anymore?
When Ariel asked Eddie if he thinks UFC fighters are underpaid you can see Eddie trying to talk his way out and then realizing there isn’t one lol
There isn't one underpaid UFC fighter? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Or one way out?
@@Guachale Take a guess
@@Guachale 🤦♂️ ... Eddie couldn't think of a way to avoid answering the question.
One of the best interviews you've ever done Ariel. Thank you!
Hope this does big numbers, would love to see more British boxing on the channel
please no lol. i love boxing but we barely have enough time as is with the boxing circus of Jake for mma
Easily the most interesting and informative conversation I've heard in a while. Felt like I just took a half hour class on fight promotion
One of the GOAT promoters. Even came in the studio live.
@Box how is he a casual ? Name 5 better promoters from now and the past, you couldn’t actually name 3 so that would 100% make him 1 of the best
@Box True fan give respect and give credit where credit's due...You're the casual for saying that he is casual
@Box shut up dude and grow tf up
Wow! Seven figures for a woman's fight. This is really historical stuff here. Props to Taylor and Serrano, they both deserve it
You can tell he's a smart guy and I enjoy listening to his point of view of the combat sports world. Makes a lot of sense.
Eddie. Become the New Better Dana for the MMA world. I know you're thinking about it deep down lol Let's go bud.
Can’t believe he talks about Dana like this very interesting
I’m smart. I go brrrrppp
Quality conversation here. This is the type of professional content i want to hear.
I love this interview. Eddie should come meet Ariel more often
Has Eddie just won the US Masters?
🤣👍
LOL
I'd love to see Eddie come on this show regularly. Maybe once a month or so for a mix of boxing updates and to hear about MMA from an outsider's (but with fight game/promotional knowledge) perspective.
Mate, you don’t know how busy this guy is. Basically impossible. Didn’t even expect this one!
he's not like you just sitting around doing nothing
Eddie is what boxing needs. He’s been doing an amazing job with DAZN and promoting these fights
Eddie Hearn always gives some of the best interviews mad respect to the man
Dude knows wtf he’s doing. Genius move going on an mma show praising the ufc and Dana. That’s how you get people over to boxing and hey.. it worked here.
Stop reading into it. He admires Dana White. Period.
@@theot6950 is there something wrong with that they are both promoters and dana white played a major role in taking the ufc from nothing to a company that is now known everywhere in the world he's like the Tom Brady of promoters or if you are european the Ronaldo of promoters he's top in combat sports might be a bit of a scummy guy but you can't say anything about how good he is at his job.
@@theot6950 lol he’s a bigger well know promoter than Dana! Dana wishes he could be like Eddie Hearn
@@coreyufc3916 Dana’s bank account makes Eddie look like he just got started
@@shawncalabrese4041 of course it would be! After robbing all he’s fighters 😅😅
I love Eddie to bits
Genuinely one of the best interviews on this channel - I'm a little shocked by just how open Eddie was even though I know the dude is just one of the most honest promoters, it still caught me off guard.
What great conversation. Eddy needed this conversation from the media. They need to do this more often
Eddie is actually solid dude. Great interview, its just on another level when it its in person.
Awesome episode Ariel! Eddie is awesome and Dazn is killing it.
Probably the best interview that you will do this year. It's always interesting to hear from Eddie.
Enjoyed this part the most today. This was really intersting to me for some reason
Eddie gives you mad insight that virtually no-one else in the sport gives you.
This was so refreshing been a while since we've heard Eddie like this. A great interview
I’m excited for this Fight. Say whatever you want about Eddie, He is on his Grind. He is such a breath of fresh air to the Boxing world... 🥊 For a Cali Boy Of Boricua🇵🇷and 🇮🇪Irish Heritage this Fight is gonna be Great!!! 🙏🏽🌞🔥😎🤙🏼
He the best promoter and personality in boxing hands down. He cares about his fighters you can see that plus he changed the game in getting mid card fighters big paydays. He's a legend in the UK boxing team
I'm glad you like him. You seem extra happy for this man 😊
Respect ☘️
I like that Eddie always has something nice to say about every name that was brought up. He may be saving face but he did with class and respect.
Brilliant conversation! Loved every minute of it!
Love listening to an honest boxing promoter. Unlike Dane White, he actually cares and pays for his fighters. Brilliant interview. 👍
This was a great interview. Ariel, you should do more boxing stuff. It's great content. Loved it.
Eddie turned boxing around nearly single handedly. Puts on great shows
eddie is the best thing thats happened to boxing, He really pushes it and puts on the best cards
Great interview and very informative, I watched everything from Start to Finish. Eddie Hearn is something else in boxing. Good to have Eddie in the sport.
Great conversation! I would love to see Eddie in MMA!
Great interview. Eddie Hearn just made a ton of new fans!
Great Interview and a Great Guest, Eddie Hearn.... Well done boys!
such a fantastic interview. Great transparency from Hearn too.
I'm a simple man, I see Eddie Hearn, I click. Always a great interview whichever the platform
This was just brilliant 👌 really enjoyed it. Thank you ☺️
This was a great interview 👏🏽
Really enjoyed this interview you definitely need to get more people on the show in person when possible
That's one heck of an interview!! Loved it!! Thanks
Bro i love this interview he doesn’t sugarcoat anything and just honest absolutely loved this
great job getting him on the show man, he's a legend
Eddie Hearn is everything a promoter should be in combat sport
Eddie Hearn. The man. The myth. The legend.
It's refreshing to watch a promoter's interview who isn't cynical & works for the fighters.
love hearing eddie talk man , thanks for this Ariel!
Much respect to Eddie Hearn for coming on the MMA hour that was very cool 👍
Love the studio interviews 🤙
Really enjoyed that...great insight behind the scenes in the world of boxing 👍
amazing questions!! eddie hearn doing what he does best. great stuff 💪
Eddie Hearn is a great promoter amd has the best interviews in the game today. Hes been the best interview for years now. Great content.
Bravo! This was such an enjoyable interview!
Great interview love helwani getting so many different take from different people in different businesses and their perspective
Love how the UFC is being watched by literally everyone in the industry. You can run but you can't hide Dana! Time to pay your fighters
Tell ‘em lol
Time will force him to
true then he'll cut the roster to 100 or less
What a great sit down chat👏
Real respect to Eddie for this interview.
I usually do something else while I listen to these types of interviews but this one was so interesting and enjoyable i had to watch for the whole time. Eddie Hearn is an absolute talent and speaks incredibly well. I can see him doing something to mess up the UFC later on if someone else hasn't once he feels like he is comfortable with the amount of money he has and just wants to do some good. Extraordinary
Loved the conversation!
Fantastic interview. Such insight into so many things.
This was great. I could listen to him talk to you for hours about the fight business
Eddie is so right about the fighter pay. The share of revenue ufc gets is so ridiculous and i will also say that Conor is underpaid. Might sound weird but Conor doesnt get a fair share of ppvs in ufc...
I was shocked when i heard conor split 50/50 wirh the ufc when the floyd fight.
Great interview 👍👍
Brilliant interview, can't help but like Eddie!
What a fkin great interview on both parts . Top draw
Awesome interview! Eddie the man!
Great conversation! Enjoyed the insights
Great interview. i love listening to eddie
Amazing conversation!!!
I appreciate Eddie so much for setting Ariel straight immediately. "I always thought that Dana White is the best promoter."
These 2 are made for each other. The chemistry
Wow!!! Got him in the studio!!
A+ interview! 👍💯
I wish we could get more in house podcast style videos. That was great!
Class interview from these two
Great interview!!
Man is incredibly humble, loved his insight!
do you have an idea what is being humble?
@@ManMan-bd5fd think I have a good idea, but I am open to being corrected!
Epic conversation by both of them
Love this interview!!
Great conversation.
Man what a great interview
I love Clarissa Sheilds but she didn’t need to move sports to make money. Although she said she’d never but all she needed to do was fight on a Jake Paul card 🤷♂️
Damn, this is a great interview
Great interview
Great interview💯I used to hate Eddie but over the years I gotta admit that he has grown on me. Cheers mate🍻
you sick people just hate people who don't know you exist thats energy consuming
Eddie hearn great promoter..amazing insights Great interview ariel.. Bravoo
This is the way you interview/talk to people. Ask the question and be quite until they are done with the answer… props to Ariel.
Great to see Eddie on
When Ariel was asking for more time I was hoping for the "OH GO ON THEN" MEME!!!!
Great interview.
