Comments Thread For: Hearn Pushing For Dmitry Bivol to Fight Joshua Buatsi In the Spring

[Bronx2245]

Bivol has some marketing credibility and he doesn't want to risk Bivol against Beterbiev who could potentially knock him out.

It then establishes a hierarchy that promoters don't want exposed = the most dangerous guy is the one not getting any big (money) fights and promoters are protecting their popular fighters and milking them,

Example - Canelo vs Ryder.

What I don't understand is a) Bivol wants Beterbiev, and he's trying to give that shot to Callum Smith, b) Why is he trying to convince Bivol to fight Canelo @ 168, when Canelo said he wants the rematch @ 175? Is he trying to get Bivol beat?

I think he’s doing everything possible to keep Bivol the furthest away from Beterbiev

Maybe until the Canelo rematch? Clearly, he does not value Bivol!

The WBC has said it would get out of the way for unification

That's not what Sulaiman said in his interview with Rob Tebutt (sp).

Is this a serious question? Hearn promotes fighters under contract with his company. That takes priority over being an ambassador for the sport.

Ambassador , is that what you call him
Funny but ambassador is not a word that comes to mind to describe fast Eddie and you better be ready

I think he does not want Bivol to risk losing b4 the Canelo rematch! Fighting at 168 helps Canelo even more!

No, I said he was a promoter. Some people on here seem to feel that Hearn should prioritize his clients' and company's needs beneath the "good of the sport." Hearn is a businessman with a businessman's obligations.
