Eddie Hearn - Major American Signing To Be Announced Next Week!!

Why do people pretend like Hearn is some super promoter. He works in the easiest boxing market in the world. Yeah, a boxing market that was pretty much dead before Hearn started promoting boxing. That should tell you something.

It will be some no name bum that nobody in the US ever heard of. Hearn just looking for publicity

Check 1:55, lots of US shows getting announced, news over the next month https://youtu.be/7QP0J0ZeDSk

That's a UK Signing though.If Tyson Fury wants Joshua he better sign with Hearn/Sky.If he had signed with Warren and BT.He wont get any big fights as BT and Sky would not partner up like Showtime and HBO for Mega Fights

It maybe Ward... He's used to getting paid millions and the only promoter that can pay him million and make him a PPV star is Eddie. #EarnWithHearn. Ward would be a great addition to Matchroom's stable but unless he's fighting Bellew at Cruiserweight there aren't really any fights for him. I don't see him fighting the killers at Light Heavyweight like Bivol or Beterbiev. I hopes it's a Charlo or Spence.

He was just dissing Spence saying Brook would beat him at 154 and saying Spence is being lauded as the new 'Sugar Ray Leonard'.I highly doubt it's Spence.I'd say Porter is the likeliest I don't think he was dissing Spence. He's just going with his man. Brook is his guy, doesn't matter if he signs Khan or Spence or whoever. He spoke in the past about Spence and making him a star.

The names that are being guessed just lol.

It's ward.

If it's a "major signing", it won't be Wilder. That's minor. Lol hahaha. To be fair he's talked about AJ so often that it's helped build Wilder's own name.. He sold 14k tickets which is really good.

I would imagine it is either Jermall Charlo or Andrade. Probably Charlo. Think about it. Canelo, G, BSJ, and Jacobs are all fighting at middleweight, all fight on hbo. Why would Charlo stay with Showtime? He will be like Jacobs, with Haymon as manager and Hearn as promoter. At the very least Charlo is going to need to fight on hbo. Its not Wilder. That's just stupid. Wilder isn't going to be blackmailed into signing with Hearn. He just fought Ortiz in his biggest fight yet and put all the pressure on AJ and Hearn to start negotiations instead of making excuses. If Wilder was scared, he could have signed with Hearn, fought opponents no where near as dangerous as Ortiz, and been guaranteed a fight with AJ. He didn't. He fought the top hw willing to face him.

Hearn is just talking the talk he's supposed to be talking. He's yet to prove he can make a star in America himself & most of the allure with him as a promoter isn't building stars its putting together great overall shows. You & I coulda teamed up & gotten Joshua where he's at so idk that he deserves that many accolades for that one. Granted there are others, but how many cats has Hearn got earning $5M-$10M+ a fight? I think he was trying to do things like he did it in music. Cuz you can freelance sh^t out in music I believe. Idk that that fits the structure of boxing very well. So he can promote via outsources, but I think he didn't consider the differences with boxing promotion vs music promotion when a guy isn't at Mayweather-like level. Its easy to outsource the promotion of a huge name. Its harder to outsource the promotion of a guy who's not got a name yet & needs that extra push. In fairness I think PBC woulda worked if it had went as planned & PBC never came to be & we just had Golden Boy Promotions ran by Schaefer & owned by Haymon. The original plan got effed up big by that shift & with Schaefer getting pulled from the game. And I think there was even a chance to recover if Schaefer had jumped on the PBC bus when his non-compete ended & if Ring Star had become the promoter for all Haymon fighters. Idk what went south with Schaefer & Haymon to not have them team up post the non-compete, but that was the move that was needed as I saw it. The next best thing would be to have cats sign with whatever promoter they wanted to sign with within the web of PBC promoters so every guy would have someone looking out for him & pushing him & then the promoters would be pushing the fights while Haymon got them the best deals. Honestly looking back on all this now I don't even fully get the blueprint Haymon had vs how he actually operated towards that blueprint. Thing is I still think a TV deal is possible, if unlikely, cuz of his roster is so strong. As long as they keep a solid base of key guys, Spence, Charlo's, Broner, Mikey, Wilder & maybe a couple other guys anyway. With more guys signing with a promoter outside the PBC web & more guys discussing deals + more guys entering the market with some money (UFC + Hearn) that opening for a TV deal doesn't seem likely to be open for very much longer doe I'm guessing. Sure you must know the saying - you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. To build a boxer into a $5 - $10million per fight draw you first need a fighter who can beat the best in the world at his weight, and they are a rare commodity! Re AJ - the Matchroom/Sky Sports link was a major factor in building him up so quickly, and that wouldn't exist if not for Eddie Hearn. Getting Wlad to come over and fight AJ in London was a master stroke by Hearn. You know what control freaks the Klit bros are. They have to have everything just so, exactly the way they they want it - the ring, the gloves, the PED testing, everything - for Wlad's fights. Keeping Wlad and Vitali sweet, without putting AJ at a disadvantage, is something I don't think anybody but Hearn could have achieved. And it took balls as well as brilliant negotiating, because AJ could easily have lost that fight, and almost did. Going back to Haymon's advice - I just read that Luiz Ortiz was paid only $500k for the Wilder fight. Ortiz was AJ's mando with the WBA, and he would have earned at least 10x that amount if he'd waited for his shot, which was what Hearn had planned for him, instead of going after Wilder. If I was Ortiz right now, I'd be tempted to get myself a shotgun and do what Terry Marsh did to Frank Warren, lol.

I always thought Eddie wanted to sign Errol Spence and you could understand why. He was just dissing Spence saying Brook would beat him at 154 and saying Spence is being lauded as the new 'Sugar Ray Leonard'.I highly doubt it's Spence.I'd say Porter is the likeliest

OK, so this wouldn't be an American signing obviously, but Hearn has said that he has a lot of stuff in the works in recent interviews. BJS has one more fight with Warren and then is a FA and he was in Brook's corner at the fight the other day. Fury also just said something (again) about big news coming soon. Is there a possibility that Matchroom sweeps up both the gypsies and signs Saunders and Fury?? And could you imagine how Fish Eyes would react? :lol1: Lotsa mother****ers would be getting their legs broken :rofl: I could see that happen it was weird seeing Saunders wearing a suit the other day he's normally a scruffy kunt This convo between Hearn and BJS is interesting. BJS asks Hearn about making a fight between him and Danny Jacobs. Hearn replies that it would be difficult because, "Danny earns more money than you, and you wouldn't take a pay cut." He then throws in a clear jab at Frank Warren "He - that's Jacobs - has a good promoter." Lol.

I honestly think Haymon DID do his job properly cuz of the lines he had to stay within. It woulda been better for fans IF he was some Don King 2.0 sh^t & coulda just made all the fights. But from the sounds of every guy he managed that I heard speak about their meetings with Haymon it went like this: Haymon asks you or your trainer/manager 3 guys you wanna fight + 3 guys you think you can beat & from there fights get decided. My assumption is if fighter A says he wants to fight fighter B & fighter B doesn't mention fighter A as a guy he wants to fight when he was asked then the fight isn't happening. And Haymon as a manager isn't in a position to force guys to take fights. If he was legit a promoter he'd have more leeway to offer nicer money or lesser money for fights he wanted to make vs fights he didn't wanna make like promoters do. So looking back on it now I think he needed to give more power to promoters then he did to make the big fights vs give the power to the fighters. Or thats my take on why PBC never got to where it could've gotten. The way Haymon uses de facto promoters like Di Bella, who don't have any vested interest in building a fighter, as a long term investment project, the way Hearn does, is what I'm talking about. Hearn came and said that the reason Wilder is still fighting for comparitive peanuts is that he has no promoter. Haymon can't act as a promoter because of the Ali act, and tbh, he probably doesn't have the ability to promote fighters properly either. The first thing he should have done is was make sure that the promotional side of PBC was going to be taken care of. Somebody like a Don King, Dana White, or Eddie Hearn, was what PBC was crying out for. But Haymon seemed totally blind to that.
