He basically says he’s loyal to Al Haymon Lou Dibella and Floyd and that he is being compensated just fine. Are we over rating Eddie Hearn after the signing of Daniel Jacobs? Will fighters sign with a promoter who’s unproven in America? Last year Hearn said this
Already, since the announcement with Daniel Jacobs,” Hearn told BoxingScene.com, “the phone’s been going mad with other fighters. ‘I’m not active enough. No one’s promoting me. Can I work with you?’
Who are all these fighters that supposedly called him and why are they not signed?
For a total of 2 million for 3 fights....LOL....like I said hearn needs to pay but we know he won't.
No. The offer was 2+ million for three fights. But Broner was already making that type of money. That was one of the things that led to Hearn learning just how much more Haymon fighters make compared to the reported purse.
He offered Broner double what he is making lately. He has been making a million. Hearn offered him 2.

The ones that hearn has made offers to. They say hearn needs to step it up cuz they making more numbers.

What fighters with Hearn are complaining about money?

Not surprising at all.
When asked about fighting top guns one or the other twin says, "I don't make the fights. It's up to them."
You have your management team fool, which you pay big bucks to.
You can always ask them the fight you want.
Degale Truax had nothing to do with Hearn lol. Parker Joseph was a mandatory and it was super boring. Jacobs Sulecki was cherrypick gone wrong.
Broner Vargas
Wilder Ortiz
Hurd Lara
Degale Truax
Benavidez Gavril
Coming up
Garcia Easter
Cruz Mares 2
Stevenson Jack
Russell Diaz
Lmao Hearn is nowhere on the level of pbc. What Hearn got next Khan vs another bum and Jacobs vs Spike lol
Khan Vs. Broner is touted to be next so yeah, maybe you could say another bum is next on the table for him, It's more likely it will be Khan Vs. Brook though which will be a successful PPV.
That's another part of the PBC problem, look at all of those fights, where is the big money earner where is the big PPV?
PBC are going to run themselves into the ground at this rate which is unfortunate because I just want good fights to watch.
No disrespect to U.S fighters but most won't sign with Hearn because they have it too cushty not being matched with each other. If the Charlo's were to sign with Eddie we'd be getting them vs Jacobs and not bums with wooden legs.
I like the Charlo's but they're all too happy being overpaid fighting scrubs and barking from a distance knowing there is a fence there to protect them.
So what your saying is , Hearn let’s his boxers fight each other no matter what
I call bullchit , if he does he wouldn’t be so fughin rich
Always remember what a promoters job
Kind of like a lawyer ; lie , lie , lie and get the most money
possible
Don’t care from UK or States or Africa
There to make money that’s it that’s all
Typical dumbass boxer mentality, burning bridges that could benefit your career one day.
When he ain't racking up W's and Al drops him or sets him up as a gatekeeper he'll regret stuff like this.
Yea I seem to recall hearing some change in K2 hence Tommy L even starting a new promotion.
Is K2 done? Klitschko's out of boxing? Or boxing promotion anyway?
Randomly I hard Klitschko gave a nice lil speech at an awards thing the other day about boxing needs to be centralized. Preaching to the choir there Wlad. Hope it happens doe.
seems that way. When loeffler announced a new company name for those California shows, that hinted to me that it might be a wrap for K2.........
Would you not agree GBP is the most successful among them...and maybe all time. Idk that I can think of any fighter promotion bigger, but maybe I'm missing someone.
Square Ring never got THAT big I don't recall. Although they were legit. They were probably biggest when they had "Smoke" Gainer, when he was hot for a few years, under their banner.
And K2 seems like the GGG show & not much else so they've never seemed like THAT successful a promotion due to the lack of much of a roster. Think Usyk was with K2 or K2 Ukraine which I'm not even sure if they are the same or different promotional companies.
I'd probably throw Mayweather Promotions as #2 right now if pressed, but with the recent sh^tstorm I honestly wasn't wanting to hype them all that much cuz they seem to be going through some sh^t.
without a doubt, and there isnt a close 2nd........
As for K2, Im not sure what they will do going forward. Im not sure Golovkin is even represented by them anymore. I dont remember seeing a K2 banner on the poster or the light grid for the Vanes fight. All I remember seeing was GGG Promotions and I think maybe a Don King banner (King had Vanes)........
Yea the bolded was what I was thinking along the lines of although didn't word it very well. That seems the only real upside to me. The rest is a vanity play as you say & only feeds your ego if anything.
But for some reason it seems fans think its this huge thing or leads to something much better. I mean I suppose it can if you can get deeper into it as Golden Boy has which is probably the most successful fighter promotion in recent times if not ever. Largely it seems a limp dick move.
Off the top of my head, Golden Boy, Mayweather Promotions, Square Ring (Roy Jones), and K2 (Klitschko) are really the only "fighter owned" promotional companies I can think of that have actually signed other fighters, staged events as the lead promoter, and stayed in business for a period of years.
Just having an "in association with" logo on the poster for your own fights doesnt qualify you as a "promotional company" in my opinion........
I mean we can look at Hearns record this year of making decent fights?
Joshua Vs. Parker
Quigg Vs. Valdez
DeGale Vs. Truax
Jacobs Vs. Sulecki
Yafai Vs. McDonnell
Butler Vs. Rodriquez
Potential fights that probably will happen this year
Callum Johnson Vs. Beterbiev
Kell Brook Vs. Khan
Joshua Vs. Wilder
Lets compare that to the fights that say PBC have planned bet it wont touch anywhere near that level.
For only 5 months in I'd say that's pretty good.

What is "Twinkies Promotion"?
I'm just saying like Dana White said. These boxer promotional companies are in name only promotional companies. And the only upside is some dummies think it means something & most importantly I believe it results in you keeping a higher % of your purse, but I'm not 100% certain about that even.
Well hopefully he'll still cross the street to go fight Jacobs cuz thats a fun fight that I hope we get to see.
Its a vanity play only. It has nothing to do with their purses, as those numbers are alreadly set by their management or promotional contracts.
It CAN ultimately generate more money to the fighter as a tax strategy, having the purses paid to the promotional company (instead of to the fighter as taxable income) and then having a good accountant who writes off most everything. But no it doesnt change the purses.....
Lions Only Promotions?!?!?!
I'm sure that'll be a huge money maker. lol. Although I mean I get it. I'm sure you are getting more money coming back your way when you are connected with your own promotion, but these things are largely going no f#cking where so idk why boxers act like its some huge thing. Starting a real promotion is a serious investment & not as easy as boxers seem to think it is.
As to the remarks towards Hearn I really don't see the point in this sorta sh^t. Just say no. Don't be an ass hole. Although that is the gimmick of the Charlo's so fair play to them I suppose.
Floyd had Mayweather Promotions LLC for a good few years, before he actually ran his first show as a promoter. All these moves are for are to help basically streamline the back-end for fights headline by stars under the PBC banner.
Floyd has a real promotional company, and Broner and Headbangers Boxing kinda have real companies, too.
Everything else is money motivated tbh, almost clearly because there aren't ties to any gyms/fighting families and towns.
Danny can do something out of Philadelphia, Mikey Garcia can build a company around the fighters coming through RGBA, the Charlo brothers can build something out of PLEX and Houston, Keith Thurman can build something for St Petersburg FL, and Gervonta Davis and/or Gary Russell can build something for Baltimore/Maryland.
Will take time, of course, but the paths are there.
