This must've been a painful reading for a lot of supremacists. I wonder what happened with "Canelo will go to PBC"?

You can say whatever you want to say about Eddie Hearn but he's a go-getter. He's happy to work with fighters who really mean business and are dedicated professionals, not like those at PBC and Goldenboy who are the best in calling out other fighters but no action. Eddie Hearn doesn't like to waste his time and he hates fighters who just go in the ring only for sake of cheques.

Definitely agree with you there. I'd love for that to be the trend moving forward with more guys. Think it'd cut down on some of the bs & big fights not happening. A promoter being too married to a fighter winning is a problem for the sport.

Yes, Eddie wants his fighters to go to war every now and then, a win or lose is not a problem for him. He loves battle and he makes sure his fighters get the best monetary reward. That is much more preferable than those promoters who seem to care more about the records of their fighters. And what you get are boxers with records full of nobodie and they will be claiming to be greatest of all time.

Smart move for both. The biggest draw in Boxing and the best promoter. Hopefully this will lead to Canelo speaking English, and fighting in the UK some day!

This was a very well-written article, by the way. Big up Manouk Akopyan! An easy-to-read piece.

Canelo and Manny drum to their own beats. Neither were ever going to become a Haymon puppet.

DAZN is willing to overpay and lose money. Every fighter and promoter with a brain should be trying to steal from that DAZN money pile while it lasts. Triller may be more careless with there money than DAZN that could be the next home for Clenelo and his waste of time fixed fights and mismatches.

So, Canelo is basically saying that Hearn promotes him in a better way than Oscar. Better not look ahead to too many other fights, focus on one opponent at a time. Hopefully Eddie can work well with Pbc, I think he has. He's actually quietly cheering Canelo on, not Saunders and other opponents.

Eddie Hearn is the best promoter in the world hands down. If u were a fighter y would u sign with anyone else. Top rank was definatly great at building fighters but Hearn tries to make the best fights possible, and actually cares for his fighters not like Arum. This is the best move for Canelo. Dazn has been delivering

It’s hard to say who is the best promoter in the world in terms of building a career...But if I was a huge name fighter like Canelo and I wanted a promoter to organise my events and create a big spectacle then Eddie Hearn is the best for that

The event production at Matchroom is leagues above anyone else
