"The Stinger" Karl Hegman interviews Chris Henry (video)

Maybe you aren't getting paid. I have no idea. All I know is that in your own words, you are his media adviser.

 

I believe they should, but integrity isn't often a word associated with internet media.

 

:: steve, are you telling fibs? Is Karl getting paid or isn't he?

 

if you see the video it's boxing highlights of Henry. The interview is just Karl asking basic questions. Why is there a problem? Because Karl thinks he's the next light heavyweight champion? I think Tito is the next heavyweight champion, so what?

 

Well I figured they would pay their media adviser :dunno:

 

OK.
I don't discuss financial matters on an internet message board, those things are handled in person behind closed doors.
Hey, whomever dosen't like it dosen't have to watch it, right?

 

That's a ridiculous statement. We are presenting a view and Karl isn't paid. Karl is a friend to their promotional outfit. So fucking what. All articles are basically PR and at the end of the day we are going to favor a fighter based on our bias. Anyone that says otherwise is a liar.

Cupey

 

But are you really getting paid, Stinger? You surely must be getting some type of compensation for this. You can't be spending so much of your time with Chris Henry for free, not when you have a loving family at home who misses you.

 

This is getting waaay off topic here, Carlos.
I kind of suspected something like this might happen from some folks, just not from Andrew instigating it for whatever reason he has.

 

Right. I'm just letting everyone know that this interview is not the least bit objective. The guy is being interviewed by his own media adviser... and the audience is being lied too. Just wanted to keep it clean.

 

Jake Donovan was writing PR for Vivian Harris and not getting paid. What's the point?

 

Hence my post that integrity shouldn't be associated with most internet media.

Media should be fair and balanced.

 

that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. First you accuse the guy of geting paid with no proof and now you want to tell the world that Karl is his advise to keep it clean? Get real man, you are just hating

 

Jake was writing stories about Vivian Harris. There was none of that "I think" ca ca in his work.

 

BS! Karl is being paid. Do you think Karl would spend so much of his personal time with Chris Henry when he could be spending that time with his family and watching his son grow up?

 

but it's not. welcome to the real world kid

 

So what you are doing right here and now is fair and balanced by ruining a thread?
Again; I suspected some here would do something like this, just not from you.

 

No, I'm just suggesting that people take the video for what it's worth. A fighter being interviewed by his own media adviser (Karl's words).

 

Exactly. The Stinger/Henry relationship is a lot deeper than we're being led to believe.

 

what are you being led to believe? Since when did Karl become this figure that we will make all of our decisions based on his words? Geez

 

So that raises the question... Cupey, did you post this video as serious boxing discussion or a funny joke?

 

Carlos, this is super way off topic here.
Looks like some folks are trying to stir up some trouble here.

 

Jake wasn't waking up at 6am and doing full 17 hour shifts just to write some PR for Vivian Harris. It was all secondary. Stinger on the other hand is really going out of his way to help Henry. Unless Henry has promised Stinger a percentage of revenue for upcoming purses, I can't imagine my man Stinger bending over backwards for Henry the way he's doing.

 

Internet media is very very different in that many times you get very close to a subject and build personal relationships. It's hard to avoid. So you will get this time and time again.

 

I wasn't trying to stir up any trouble. I was simply responding to Arben's point that all of this Henry coverage is unethical.

 

cry me a river.

I think we should put up that Cintron video also, or perhaps the evander holyfield one, to get a feel of the "objectivity" of this particular person's work.

 

How is that different?

 

you don't know what or what wasn't Jake doing so this is ridiculous statement. Secondly, Karl did the same for Diaz and was not paid. He was friends with the kid

 

Cintron video?

 

Stinger's my man. I don't want to see my friends being taken advantage of without being compensated. If you're trying to take advantage of Stinger by making him do all this PR/media work for free, then it's best that I have the FBI raid your office. Who else have you forced to do free work for you, Cupey? Run down the list.
