Comments Thread For: Hearn Sees 'Boxing Internationally' as Next Milestone For Canelo

[VislorTurlough]

Embarrassing self serving windbag. Total trash fights he’s proposed with 2 domestic level hype jobs and the conqueror of Gabe Rosado

Hearn mentioned 3 fighters which did not include Benavidez. The sham getting exposed again. I had already predicted a mungia fight. These clowns are shameless.

The idea of arranging a mega fight involving Canelo Alvarez in one of the Arab Gulf nations is a good one for several reasons.

First, it would be a great opportunity to showcase the sport of boxing in a region that is not particularly well-known for it.

Second, it would be a great opportunity to generate a lot of interest and excitement in the sport, which could lead to more people getting involved in it.

Third, it would be a great way to promote the sport of boxing and to make it more popular in the Arab Gulf region.

You realize this is not mutually exclusive with fighting a legit top guy right rather than UK bums?

If someone took Eddie Hearn out & drowned him, like a kitten, only obviously less sweet & adorable, in a sack in the high seas, would any MoFo mind or care?

Haymon needs to just get out of the Canelo - AB - Bud Crawfraud - Andrade business and just make all the Pbc fights that you can. Chasing those fighters has been bad for his business!

Totally agree. It’s hard to figure out what Haymon/PBC’s long range plan is. Their most commercially popular fighters (Wilder, Spence, Benavidez,, Jermell Charlo, Davis) don’t fight enough while the overhyped ones (Jermell Charlo, Keith Thurman, etc) have been overpaid so much they are in no hurry to fight at all. He can’t keep fooling these hedge fund backers into bankrolling mediocre Fox, FS1 and Showtime cards forever.

This clown will find a way to f that up too

So basically Hearn has to throw something canelo’s way after he inevitably loses to Bicol a second time. He won’t be marketable to Americans any longer as some sort of “face of boxing”, he would have avoided taking on Benevidez because of claiming he hasn’t fought anyone and will then move on the the British bum a month tour instead to pad that post boxing retirement that’s on its way. Ok now I get it. I see the diva vacating one or two of his titles next year due to the alphabet soup organisations finally displaying the bottle to force him to fight the best

Picked up some British slang, huh?

Any offer from PBC to Canelo Alvarez for the Jermall fight? I thought that's the fight Charlo has been waiting for. Why is Haymon not sending any offer to the Mexican superstar? Precisely the reason why Hearn has been making all these noises because he's anticipating counter offers from the PBC/Showtime camp. It looks like he has no competition this time around.

[GhostofDempsey]

Fighting in Mexico is still fighting in his own backyard. Fighting some B-rate opponent in London is not nearly as compelling as fighting Benavidez or Charlo in Vegas. Fighting in countries like Dubai or Saudi doesn't count since you're really not fighting in someone else's backyard, they don't have any hometown fighters of their own.
