Thank you Mr Eddie Hearn the best promoter in the world but turki getting involved in boxing is the worst thing for the fans because of the overpriced ppv shows
Dre has been killing it interviewing fighters, trainers, and now promoters. He’s def the right fit for the job. Thanks Andre ward!!! And All The Smoke Fights..
Ward doesn’t want to hear the promoters point of view smdh , how a boxer is going to ask for 10ms but brings in 1m , ward trying to convince a promoter a boxers perspective while not knowing 💩 bout promoting , I would love to see ward has a promoter I bet hie perspective would be different then
Ward is pure wisdom. The 125k that Ward gave to the UK fighter really shows who he is and what I always had the impression he was. Class act, real as life.
There is not 1 American fighter who has anywhere close to the celebrity status in their own country that AJ has over here. You would have to look at the likes of LeBron James to understand the level of celebrity he is here. When you can sell 100,000 seat stadium here you don't need america
As if you ever needed any confirmation that Andre Ward is a REAL ONE, a top tier human being. Throwing Smith back the $125,000 despite him missing weight, shows you the kind of guy he is. They don't make many like him.
Great conversation! Andre is definitely a natural in this field. He asks all the right questions, has great push back to incite more conversation and detail, and he allows the interviewee to complete their thoughts. Boxing definitely needs this platform!
Big S/O to Dre for holding down these interviews 🥊 its not just good to see him doing this but boxing needs someone with so much knowledge and able to articulate himself well enough to be able to reach causals as well as boxing public Eddie doing his thing to as a promoter and willing to work with anyone 👌🏾🙏🏾 respect
It just boxing but many men in life especially this young generation needs to listen to men like Ward and Eddie explaining life journeys and life lessons.
This is an EXCELLENT interview! The IQs of Dre and Eddie are both incredible! I hope Eddie writes a book someday. The information and knowledge that is overflowing from Eddie Hearn is mind blowing, and I truly love that
You know what, this is actually the best interview I've seen with Eddie in a long time!! Great questions and it was good seeing the game from both sides.
I didn’t know Dre let paul smith keep the 125 grand, that sums up the kind of man Ward is, its the sort of class and integrity that’s becoming less and less prominent in this modern era.
Yup in all of life aspects too. The world has become to greedy and selfish. If you can help someone even if it’s a stranger you have to help them. It’s gods way.
@@henryclarkson3659very classy act from a very classy dude … his silence on the issue is louder then if he mentioned it time and time again etc knows who he is inside and out
I think Eddie Hearn is a good person, and I know he is a good promoter! He does a good job at showing respect for the fighters, and engaging in conversation about the fights, but not in a dishonest way. He doesn't gaslight the casuals. I think that he's a good guy, this interview is fascinating, especially to see a great fighter speak with a great promoter - that's not a conversation we are usually privy to!
Dre is a class act. $125k back to Paul Smith. He wasn’t even going to mention it. Not like now where you have guys saying they are giving purses to charity and no receipts.
ANDRE WARD is such a good hearted man I respect him so much great guy great boxer great commentator and he seems like a great friend he deserves all the flowers he receives salute andre ward I love the show keep the interviews coming great content God bless you Mt brother
I like Eddie cause he’s outside. He’s not perfect but he’s a busy body. And I can’t say enough how much I appreciate Andre in this space. He’s so well spoken and a must listen for boxing and life content, specially after reading his book.
I like Eddie. I respect his approach to the sport and the business of boxing. I feel like he’s not full of BS as well. Great interview/conversation Dre!!
@@damiandamico4715 Did you not watch the beginning of this podcast? He's a promoter, it's his job to talk stuff up when he's promoting. He always talks like this when he's not pushing a fight...
@@IDHANYT Ive been following Eddie Hearn for about 10+ years, bro. Way before he cracked America. He's the best promoter in the world by a country mile. He's done things that wind me up, but he's outstanding at his job. It takes a proper don to even communicate with fighters the way he does. I rate Eddie Hearn, don't get it twisted. I respect him enough to comment on his imperfections and still whole heartedly respect him.
@@IDHANYT Very rarely do I disagree with a word he says; unless he's shamelessly defending someone in the wrong (naming no names). He understands fighters. He's not only a great promoter, he does above and beyond; he also understands fighters and actually has the qualities of a manager (as well as being a great promoter)
Hearn really giving the boxing fans a real look at the dirt that goes on behind the scenes into making a fight! Ward asking all the right questions! Respect to both 💯
I need ward & hearn monthly podcasts. This was a great conversation. Not interrupting each other but both discussing opposing views to come to an educated conclusion. So refreshing and very rare. Big ups
As a Brit I can confirm what Eddie Hearn says. If Crawford and Shakur were in the UK they'd be stars and early in their careers and that would be with the casuals too.
top interview With 2 top guys,nice work Andre....and so nice to see Eduard mention the 125k...didn't see that one coming. Props to you both....thx i enjoyed it big time❤🥊🥊💪🏽....
Excellent interview. Excellent questions. Excellent interlocutor in Eddie Hearns. Flawless content that was both entertaining and educational. Keep going Champ!
I'm thoroughly enjoying the regular content with Andre. His got this natural ability to have a nice conversation and bring this questions that maybe only fighters will know to ask.
This was a great interview. It was ask question and let the other guy just speak without constant interruptions and I also liked that Andre never seemed to be guiding him to say something he wanted or getting argumentative. It felt like an unbiased interview. Good job Andre. Keep it up.
Seen so many Eddie interviews (always great), but somehow Dre has managed to make this one feel fresh. Incredible fighter and now clearly a talented podcast host - subscribed
Another Great Interview… with a great source. I enjoy the facts that come out in your interviews… not just a lot of speculation. This was really eye opening to behind the scenes of boxing. Respect!
Amazing interview! I think boxers need to be educated early on to build their brands to avoid promoters taking advantage of them and trying to give them PPV %'s on fights that won't sell. Happy there are boxers like Ward who are doing their part in educating the younger boxers. Much respect to Eddie
Mr. Ward is perfect for "All The Fight Smoke". Despite being retired, he's a fighter who has won championships and has a fighter mentality. He is the only one who can interview fighters and fight promoters and have credibility...
Fantastic interview,really loving this content from Andre ward,keep it coming what an insight from Eddie Hearn into the business and a lovely touch that not many know about when Andre let Paul smith have his penalty fee over $125,000,respect to Andre
First time listener from the UK, boxing enthusiast etc ward was a fantastic pugilist but he can hold a conversation really well and allows his guest to talk.

Thank you Mr Eddie Hearn the best promoter in the world but turki getting involved in boxing is the worst thing for the fans because of the overpriced ppv shows
Great story from Eddie about Andre letting Paul Smith keep his 125k! Shows what a classy guy Andre is!
Im from the uk i must have watched well over 100 eddie interviews and this imo is the best ive ever seen.
Was about to say the same thing
It’s defo up there.
I agree 🙏
Brown Tongue 👅
Northampton on point!!!
Dre has been killing it interviewing fighters, trainers, and now promoters. He’s def the right fit for the job. Thanks Andre ward!!! And All The Smoke Fights..
Andre Ward,, Greg Hackett,, Cigar Talk,, Champside got the best Boxing channels 🥊🏆

@@WillDV-wp2cn what good have you ever done in your life that make sense to the community or even your families attendin your berbecue ?
AJ donated 10mil to the boxing community of uk during covid and fury still lookin for a charity to donate wilder purse to,till this day🤑🤣
Hate him or love him, Eddie is that dude..I rock wit’em
he pretty fair dont know what Dre was on about fighter pay. Bro its hard to promote a boring ass fighter.
@@craigman7262 You’re absolutely right. I want to see how Eddie works his magic with his sassy ass😂
He tends to swivel with saying certain things, say it like you mean it. It makes him appear untrustworthy.
He marketed AJ great but most of America doesn't know him
There is not 1 American fighter who has anywhere close to the celebrity status in their own country that AJ has over here. You would have to look at the likes of LeBron James to understand the level of celebrity he is here. When you can sell 100,000 seat stadium here you don't need america
Woahhh, did not know about the 125k. Speaks major volume to his character.

@@WillDV-wp2cn you're slow
@@WillDV-wp2cn#casual
Hearing what Dre did for Paul Smith was heartfelt. S.O.G. Is such a class act. Amazing role model💯🥇
Yh Dre got a little emotional
I guess you live ryan Garcia for giving pillow fists Haney 1.5 mill for missing weight. I guess Ryan Garcia your ultimate role model
What part of the interview was this
Honestly one of the best boxing sit downs I’ve ever seen, the Haney-Garcia stuff is still facinating
This is an amazing interview. The duo we didn’t know we needed. Andre Ward’s patience, transition approach is inspiring. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

We definitely need more interviews like this in boxing.
This is one of the best conversations about boxing past and current. These two should do this again. Andre and Eddie are both great here.

Probably my favorite boxing interview you’ve done so far Andre. Definitely, a classic that people will remember for decades
Best promoter in the game
He is.
Facts ❤
Being interviewed by one of the best to ever lace them up.
I like how Hearn shows the fighters the numbers and costs associated with the events. He's one of the good ones.
Eddie Hearn really broke down the business mindset here
im only 10 min in and its great so far.
Eddie right about Devin deserving respect. Struggling to stand up on the ropes and hold his hands up at the end of the fight was pure heart.
Dre killing the interviews tho 💪🏽💪🏽💯🥊
The most well spoken dude fit for the job

Petition for Andre Ward to interview the promoter and fighters before every big event
As an Englishman, Ward was one of the greatest of his era

One of the best boxing interviews ever
Great interview! Love that gem we heard about Dre giving £125k back to Paul Smith 👏
Best boxing talk I’ve heard in a long time Dre and Eddie could take over boxing media and commentary together…
42:16 what a great retelling of a story from Eddie about Dre. That is one classy move by Dre. Very cool brother.
🎯💯
I like they both challanged each other! 125k, solid dude Andre Ward!! Also funny that Eddie did an interview with Ward before Froch. haha
World class interview
This was by far your BEST interview. Loved every minute. I wish it was longer!!!
This is best Eddie Hearn interview by far
Hearn really giving the boxing fans a real look at the dirt that goes on behind the scenes into making a fight! Ward asking all the right questions! Respect to both 💯
Oh lordy what a brilliant interview, Eddie telling it straight , SOG agreeing where relevant , every boxer should watch this ! Gold. Period.
Dre… I got stuff to do but can’t stop watching this dang interview. Good stuff. Keep it rolling
This is one of the best interviews I've seen with a promoter in YEARS.
Yall gotta do a part 2 of this. A lot of 💎 in this interview.
I need ward & hearn monthly podcasts. This was a great conversation. Not interrupting each other but both discussing opposing views to come to an educated conclusion. So refreshing and very rare. Big ups

Best Eddie Hearn interview out there. Andre Ward knows the game so well.
Dre is a really good interviewer, he doesn't disturb the guest and he helps the viewer by asking the right questions and following up.
You #1 dude. I'll watch the video but I'm giving you props
As a Brit I can confirm what Eddie Hearn says. If Crawford and Shakur were in the UK they'd be stars and early in their careers and that would be with the casuals too.
So happy to see Dre get his next thing after commentating, he’s even better at this!

Great interview, would love a monthly catch up with these 2 discussing the latest going on in the sport.
Wow! Ward more respect for not taking the extra fees from Eddie's fighter for him being a good guy and having a family.
It wasn’t very long ago I did not fw Hearn but he’s grown on me as a promoter. Good insights here, great interview Dre.

This was an amazing / eye opening / insightful interview. Dre is a natural !
This is absolutely superb content. They need to do this again and go over some other fights 👏👏
Great interview 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Andre Ward led his career how he wanted, not a fan of some of his fight tactics but overall highly quality human. Eddie a real one.
First time listener from the UK, boxing enthusiast etc ward was a fantastic pugilist but he can hold a conversation really well and allows his guest to talk.
