Again.. lol
How do you casually leave out Linares vs Crolla? I don't remember UK commentary raving about Crolla, more like the complete opposite.
Linares-Crolla was a one sided fight. That wasn't a good fight. It wasn't a big fight that people were waiting for.
Like Joshua-Klitschko and Brook-Spence.
I mean this year so far Hearn has made the best fights. Haye-Bellew was better than Canelo-Chavez Jr. as far as drama and ebbs and flow. Haye showed heart after he ruptured his tendon. It had drama. Chavez Jr. just flat out gave up, didn't really try and just wanted to make it to the final bell, collect his check, so he can party and get his cell phone and check stolen. Lol
If you're talking overall then yeah Oscar and GBP and PBC with Haymon are ahead.
After them I'd put Top Rank and Eddie Hearn with Matchroom.
But so far this year, Hearn has the good fights. We will see how GBP and PBC do with the remainder of the year. We know GBP has that dandy lined up Golovkin-Canelo.
PBC has been a little quiet lately. So we'll see what other fights come up this year.
My boy Mirko Troll Cop
Haymon isn't a promoter, but he's the most powerful right now. I've gone for Lou.
True but some people have voted Haymon lol.
A promoter job is to get on camera as often as possible to sell and promote a fight.. If Haymon was a promoter he'd be the worst one to ever exist, there isn't single interview of him lol heck there are hardly even any pictures of him.
Hearn is the most active Promoter.. He has his own show called the the Eddie Hearn show (apples and pears) lol he regularly does 1 hour long interviews.. And he is the only promoter that you can actually listen to for an hour.
It's all geographical. There's a shift in the popularity of boxing from US to the UK, but it doesn't mean that a Mexican fighter should go and sign with Eddie Hearn. Their best bet is GBP or Top Rank. Likewise, a UK fighter should sign with Eddie Hearn because there's nothing an American based promoter can really do for them.
UK boxing is better than US boxing right now, in terms of popularity, which in turn makes Hearn look like the best choice. But let's say me as a Hispanic, if I was a pro, it wouldn't be wise to sign with Hearn, it'd be wise to sign with Arum/DLH/Haymon.
For u to say Spence Brook is no different than mentioning Brook GGG. So if Brook loses again and by how... you're saying "Brook" is a proper fighter to mention on Hearn's efforts?
Joshua-Klitschko & Brook-Spence
vs.
Canelo-Chavez Jr. & Canelo-Golovkin
We already know the Canelo- Chavez Jr. PPV was the worst PPV in a long time. The fight was horrible.
So between these four fights and promoters, which one had/has the better fights?
GBP has 1 in Canelo-Golovkin
Hearn has 2 in Joshua-Klitschko and Brook-Spence
See what I mean
And again, we're just talking about this year, not overall. The question in the poll was so far this year.
I know. Warren didn't promote Smith in Texas...
I'm saying when did you say Hearn go to American soil and raise his fighter's hand beating a statesider?
Like I said, Oscar is a gee!
The particular question in the poll was which promoter has put on the best fights so far this year.
And if we look at that. Then it has to be Eddie Hearn. Key point being "so far this year"
Joshua-Klitschko
Brook-Spence coming up
Which promoter so far this year has put up better fights than those fights?
Becoming like Darts?
I started watching boxing around time of Frank Bruno, Nigel Benn and can only remember Warren but I think in hindsight before tinterweb a lot of his opponents were classic roadsweepers and unless you were a hardcore boxing fan you didn't really know. His tactic just like now seems to be to build a fighter slowly and milk a title whereas Hearn will take more risks HOWEVER
I see a situation like darts where PDC has the elite and BDO the grass roots and in terms of TV value I think box nation is better than paying 40 quid a month for sky and ppv as I only really like boxing and a little darts but I love watching boxing on sky as the presentation is top notch but the rivalry does remind me so much of darts
I think where Warren goes wrong is people now aren't too bothered about long reigns, Calzaghe was 46-0 was it and great fighter but I found him dull to watch sometimes same with Flanagan etc but you can see how he builds fighters whereas Eddie I think now is concerned with end product but great time to be a boxing fan now though
Hearn is only good at promoting his fighters locally. Most of them are not globally known. He doesn't even have to promote them. It's a small country half the size of California.
AJ is one of the most popular fighters in the world now.. Going by his social media following, he has way more fans on social media than Canelo.
He has never fought in the US but Hearn has still got him a contract with Showtime in the US and both HBO and Showtime aired his last fight.. No other fighter in history has been able to get a contact and be shown on 2 different networks without even fighting in that country.

Aha got him.. While Dela Hoya is putting on GGG vs Canelo which is the biggest fight of the year.. We can't forget that he also put on Khan/Canelo, Smith/Canelo and the worst stinker I seen this year Chaves/Ginger.

Oscar De La Hoya by far...
Nobody is giving credit to stateside's GBP and Linares as they ran up on Crolla's territory and handled business!!!
Hearn promoted those fights
Eddie has turned an average boxer AJ in 4 years 19 fights to a multi millionaire. AJ is good but come on he's no mike Tyson so I would say Eddie... You have to remember that UK fans will back their fighter and they get paid good look at kell.
Hearn is only good at promoting his fighters locally. Most of them are not globally known. He doesn't even have to promote them. It's a small country half the size of California.
Based on the question, which promoter has put on the best fights this year so far.
We would have to say Eddie Hearn.
Joshua-Klitschko was huge and watched world wide. In the U.S. broadcast on both HBO and Showtime.
Brook-Spence is coming up. Another good fight that has interest worldwide.
What other fights have other promoters put on this year so far that is better

Promoters are scumbags by nature. The more successful they are, the worse they usually are as people.
That said, Lou DiBella is one of the few that seems like a down-to-earth, straight-shooter.
you're kidding....right?
