I just plain don’t like Hearn.

Getting tired of watching fighters that are considered elite feasting on domestic level British fighters. Whether it’s Crawford vs khan and Brook or canelo taking advantage of the 6-7 British guys he’s carefully selected or Beterbiev possibly slaughtering this no hoper, it’s a waste of time and only prolongs making these guys make the actual fights that matter.

Smart move by eddie. Throw smith at beterbiev as mandatory and see if he can steal the belt. Then he can put a unification with bivol on dazn without having to deal with arum.

And honestly this is better for bivol as well. If smith wins he can fight him in england for a better payday than he would probably get against beterbiev. If smith loses that is just more time for beteviev to get older.

Styles make fights. Callum has looked much better at 175 and Beterbiev defense isn't on Canelo's level

He has been dropped and caught before. I agree he looks much better at 175. He's HUGE!!! Dod you see him towering everybody walking out Liam Smith in the Eubank fight.

The network/promoter thing is an issue which is why I'm not optimistic the fight happens anytime soon.

Hearn is obviously happy setting up fights for his guys such as Canelo vs Ryder, Bivol vs Buatsi, Canelo vs Bivol, Smith vs Beterbiev etc while Beterbiev gets older. But if Team Beterbiev makes Bivol a tempting offer which isn't in breach of his commitments to DAZN, he might instruct his team to take it seeing as he's already said he wants the belts.

Definitely can’t disagree with this
Apparently Beterbiev will follow up his win against Yarde by celebrating Ramadan and then begin camp for a unification fight to be held around July/August
This is what I’m being told from people close to there entourage
Best way is for the boxers themselves pushing their promoters to have this fight and I think that’s what’s happening with Beterbiev

Wishful thinking
Sulaiman has already said he would step aside for a unification fight

Beterbiev has no choice , it’s a mando

Or Bivol should put his foot down, and demand that Fast Eddie allow him to fight Beterbiev on ESPN or Dmitry will NOT take the Cinnabon rematch that Hearn is drooling over.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha
Balls to the fughin wall
I love it

Non way Callum would beat Beterbeast. But the Russian would have age a little bit for Bivol... Canelo showed how it's done vs GGG and Coughalev (dont like that, but Steack-Mex redeemed himself a little bit with his '21 year). Eddie don't know much, but that yes, probably... Maybe he even dreams of Bivol going HW and stealing an aging Usyk's belt (if he beats Fury or get a new one later), too... A little far-fetched, but more realistic than AJ growing champion'd balls, decent stamina or elite skills...

Is it that easy now to make fights in the UK between competing promoters? What am I missing?
