Why would anyone sign Berlanga now?

[Mammoth]

What would you do with him? He could lose to a totally random nobody.

[_Rexy_]

He'll still sell out MSG losing to a complete nobody though lol


Sign him, feed him someone with a weak chin, then feed him to Charlo (if youre PBC) Canelo (if you're Hearn)

Big Draw in New York! That is why we are Fans and not Promoters, Managers and Network Execs LMFAO

Well Keith Connolly is Berlanga manager and all of Connolly prospects (Nikita Ababiy, Richardson Hitchins, Reshat Mati, Marc Castro) are with Matchroom so I expect him to head there.

It'll be like walking a tightrope trying to make sure the guy doesn't lose to a bum. Even the good fighters lose to nobodies on DAZN.

I see DAZN/matchroom deal. He can fight a bunch of their Euro fighters (Italians and Irish)in NYC to fill the venues. Otherwise, I don’t see a long term path for him. Especially at 168.

If he could squeeze down to 160…maybe he won’t drown as fast against top tier opponents.

I hope the next gen after him sees the importance of building yourself up and remaining humble the whole way so you can learn and improve. Edgar never demonstrated humility. When a boxer thinks he’s the man before he actually is…it’s a recipe for crashing and burning.

Exactly Eddie doesn't baby his prospects...Khali Coe is over there as well and he's with Connolly.

It's like watching a bit more seasoned version of Jake Paul.

A smart promoter can feed him the same level of opposition he was facing when he was scoring 1st round KO’s. Do that for a while to raise his profile. Fans will talk sh/t of course, so would I, but they’ll tune in to continue seeing the KO’s.

Once you pad his record up, you put him in a series of big PPV fights against other undefeated fighters until you can’t milk him anymore because he has too many losses.

Also helps to put him in against light punching fighters. Like promoters did with Amir Khan to help him build his profile.
