    When Hearn offered 12.5 million, his offer included the same exact deadline before the offer was withdrawn. Wilder put the same deadline as a **** you to Hearn. Nobody takes those deadlines seriously.

    But yes, in boxing, you agree in principle on the purse first, and then you hammer out the other details.

      Yeah, that may be true. But not all in the PBC stable are "stars."
      Lower-level ones like Lubin wanted so much to get back in the ring.
      Gausha who had spectacular win in his last fight yet he's never seen again for a long while now.
      So many PBC fighters have been sitting on the shelves wasting their primes or whatever is left.
      Danny Garcia, Broner, Leo Santa Cruz, Luis Ortiz, Martin, Lara, and many others.

      These guys need to start thinking about joining DAZN. The clock is ticking.

        Shirley Winkel's silly feminine negotiating tactics is being rehashed again. I see.
        In reality, the amount of offers skyrocketed because of Hearn throwing astronomic figures.

        Deontay's purse in the Ortiz 1 was $2 mil. His highest paycheck.
        It was clear the figures went through the roof because like any subscription-based
        content provider it starts with spending billions of $$$. Meaning, the value of any fight,
        ie, Wilder vs Joshua was not based on its size via PPV route. In fact, the size was arbitrary.

        Showtime then was forced to overpay Wilder thinking that they have a Mike Tyson revival in their network.

        In the end, Espinoza had had enough of it, "Wilder vs Ortiz 2 PPV didn't make sense for us."
        Hence, Wilder became a FOX fighter rather than a Showtime one. It's comical.

          Everyone was approached, some thought about it, most were offered way less than they were already making, so they stayed with PBC.

          Those who did choose to leave, like Jesse Vargas or Mikey Garcia, have had their careers completely fall apart.

            All but one of your examples were incorrect.

            No semantics here, you were wrong. Get over it.

              I think he’s passionate about the sport but as a business man/ promoter, he kinda sucks. He is just playing games with what his father built. Good for him

                Well he has recently taken and risk and stepped outside his comfort zone, and left his Sky platform.

                I don't really think DAZN is having the impact he would of thought, but he is giving it a go.

                You have to put the promoters who have been in this game for decades above Eddie Hearn, as they have been successful in many other era's 'And had to continually adapt themselves'.

                  You asked for examples of Hearn working with other promoters to make big fights and I gave you some.

                    Is he the best? Well that depends on how you define the best. But Eddie is definitely doing things no other promoter is doing. The guy puts on fight cards worldwide on a worldwide platform at a decent prize. Any other promoter building stars from different parts of the world?

                      He puts on just as many mismatches as the others promoters
