Heavyweight fighter Derek Chisora spills the beans on boxing's biggest promoters
In the world of boxing, Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren are two names that stand out. They are iconic promoters who have shaped the sport in their own unique ways. But what's it really like to fight for them? Well, Derek Chisora has the inside scoop.
Chisora, who has worked with both Hearn and Warren, recently revealed that one of them pays their fighters more money than the other. But there's a catch.
Money Talks: Who Pays More?
In an interview on William Hill's Up Front with Simon Jordan podcast, Chisora spilled the beans. He said, "Frank Warren actually pays fighters more than Eddie Hearn, but he pays late."
It seems that while Warren's fighters may earn a bigger paycheck, they often have to wait longer to receive it. Chisora explained, "That is why I switched to having Eddie Hearn as my promoter, he pays on time! I didn't want to have to start going to Frank and begging for my money."
Rivalry and Reconciliation
Hearn and Warren have a long history of rivalry in the boxing world, with years of bitter swipes and snide comments. But recently, they met for the first time at a press conference and it seems they're ready to put the past behind them.
Hearn told BBC Sport, "I met Frank Warren for the first time at Wednesday's news conference... We should forget the rubbish, that this is a big opportunity for Queensberry, Matchroom, for boxing and our fighters, so let's not mess it up."
Warren echoed a similar sentiment, saying, "This could be a real turning point for British boxing... Matchroom and Queensberry will always be rivals, which is good for the fans because we will do our best to put on great shows, to be ahead of the competition."
The Bottom Line
When it comes to money, it seems Eddie Hearn is the one who pays on time, while Frank Warren may offer a bigger payday. But in the end, it's up to the fighters to decide what matters most to them.
