It appears that the only thing these promoters (big and small) have in common is their contempt for Hearn. Sometimes that contempt will lead to them teaming up against Matchroom, but mostly every big promotion operates on an island and nothing changes. Hearn breeds so much contempt because his constant media presence allows us a glimpse into what happens behind the scenes. He says/does too much for the old guard to accept him, and Hearn always says he doesn't plan to be promoting when he's geriatric like Arum/Warren.
Matchroom lost a purse bid, big deal. As long as the match-up happens, who cares where? The fight will probably still take place in the UK, so Buatsi will still have home advantage and this is a title eliminator. It doesn't really benefit either Hearn or Buatsi for this match-up to fall through.
