About this listen

The autobiography of the legendary sports promoter Barry Hearn.

'I am the largest sports promoter in the world. I promote 11 sports to a global audience of billions of people every day of my life'

A larger-than-life working-class hero, Romford born and bred—always ready with the perfect soundbite—Barry Hearn was famously described as 'roguish but never a rogue'.

Hearn is credited with turning snooker into one of the biggest sports in Britain. He essentially turned a sport in which competitors wear bowties into a massive globally televised event. Away from the table, his promotions empire casts its net over a dozen sports—from professional boxing to darts, fishing to 10-pin bowling—and his career spans four decades. He also previously owned Leyton Orient football club.

Packed with hilarious anecdotes from the golden age of snooker, and behind-the-scenes insight into boxing negotiations and darts bust-ups, Hearn's book is a joy to listen to from start to finish.

Finished Eddies book wanting to better understand HOW Matchroom actually happened. This book did not disappoint. Very much enjoyed the rags to riches element. But more importantly, the admittance to luck being a huge factor in success. Not enough successful people admit this and it was refreshing. Hard work for sure. Relentless, absolutely. But also blessed with luck.

Great book Barry. Bravo.
