Eddie Hearn and Matchroom has had a horrible 2017

I have no idea where you're pulling this from. AJ vs. Wlad was probably the biggest fight in UK history, and there are plenty of others on the horizon.

Im on my smartphone so i cant do quick research, but if matchroom is full of mismatches, Why have most of his fighters lost? Putting Joshua in with klitschko that early was risky. Same with doing the Spence fight (he could have just move up in weight). Unification with indongo was also a decent matchup. His undercards most of the time are really bad, but he is still by far the best promoter in the UK and holds a position currently which promoters would yearn for.

Joshua and Bellew still head ppv shows, you've got a potential one with Parker vs Whyte creating an absolute monster earner with Joshua vs Parker then. Bellew vs Haye, Ward and/or Parker. I think their is the possibility of Callum Smith being their next huge marketable name if he trumps Eubank Jr. in the WBSS, Eubanks already fighting on ITV ppv and the natural progression and passing of the baton/torch Smith kinda inherits should he win versus Eubank I feel is inevitable. They'll make a killing from the Joshua/Pulev mandatory too, I expect with Brook falling off it's created a place for an event like Parker vs Whyte, to go along with the likelihood of Bellew vs Ward at cruiser. I'm sure they had plans for Davies to be the next mouthy ppv attraction but it's back to the drawing board in regards to that one. Really feel they missed the boat with Josh Taylor, he looks explosive and Jesus he can box too man. A possible fight versus Luke Campbell the gold medal winner maybe could lead to a ppv fight if they keep winning and eventually collide.

Boxing fans are the biggest cynics. Feels like they always want to bring down anything good with boxing. Matchroom has the biggest mass appeal of all promoters and attract casual fans, so they are not going away anywhere.

Been a good year on balance in terms of income and signings; they've got the cream of the British Olympic crop signed up (Buatsi, Okolie, Cordina) plus AJ is the biggest star in boxing right now. I have found that their promotions from a non-casual point of view have become extremely tedious, with the same four or five prospects involved in foregone conclusion mismatches over and over again. I understand what they're doing, but it's ****ing tedious.

Matchroom has been in the business of promoting AJ, above and beyond everyone else, for about 2 years now. They understand the cash cow they have and they have pumped so much money into it that they don't have enough to fulfil fight night dates on normal sky. It's a stinker for boxing fans because SKy used to be great for it.

not much talent in the uk and the best prospect is yarde and hes with warren

With the exception of Joshua v Klitschko and Haye v Bellew it has been a bad year for Matchroom, but they've also signed the likes of Josh Kelly, Joshua Buatsi and Lawrence Okolie whom he's already trying to hype up so I'd say that the end is nowhere near in sight for Matchroom. Feel like Okolie will go the Ohara Davies route once he steps up but Kelly and Buatsi look like they'll keep progressing nicely. End of the day with the money and platform Matchroom have it'll take a hell of a lot for them to no longer be the biggest player in the UK market because they'll still be first choice for most prospects and thus the production line will keep on churning, irrelevant of the duds they get out.

I cant help but look at your fave and least favorite lists without laughing at you. And having pity on you as well. I don't change my favs like others. I stick with them win or lose.

yep, just imagine if AJ got sparked. Eddie would of hanged himself by now. He'll probably start begging new nose froch out of retirement soon enough for the kessler trilogy :lol1:

Anthony Joshua vs Wladimir Kiltschko & Tony Bellew vs David Haye where two of the best fights Eddie Hearn has EVER promoted! Both of these fights crossed over into the mainstream, and alerted the sheeple of the nation.... Matchroom will struggle to produce big fights on that scale for the rest of the year! (It all depends on Tony Bellew's next move!)...

They're still beating all the others promoters hands down when it comes to ticket sales and PPV sales. That's what matters to them. With them and the Sky hype machine behind them, they will continue to be able to hype fighters and make money. If any promoter has a PPV as big as Haye v Bellew, they would consider it a good year, never mind adding an even bigger one in Joshua v Klitschko on top of that and probably another huge PPV by the end of the year. The fighters have taken some losses but the money making never really stops.

We had an inflated number of titlists anyway so they were bound to drop like flies once they were forced to defend against real elite opposition. I'm not too concerned about that - it's better than them sitting on their paper titles indefinitely. However Matchroom shows have been too weak this year. The PPV headliners delivering has papered over the cracks somewhat, but the regular Sky Sports cards and even the Box Office undercards have not been up to par, especially with BT Sport now providing a genuine alternative. Hearn needs to pay more respect to the levels of boxing in between world championship level and Latvian plumber level. Competitive domestic fights should be the backbone of British promotions
