Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn Targets Homecoming In Australia For New Champion Liam Paro

[Bronx2245]

Oh the irony….

Yes, the former penal colony! LMAO!!!

[BlackRobb]

Certain fighters are just bad azzes who will fight whoever wherever whenever:

Mike McCallum
Andre Ward
Carl Froch
Jim Watt
Jose Luis Ramirez

Liam Paro may soon make this list.

Even tho I'm a PBC fanboy I gotta agree with this. The networks need more than one promoter. Again I would love to see PBC and TR on the same network

Those exclusive Network/ Promoter deals are bad for everyone. A dumb idea for both sides , the fighters and fans too.

I’m surprised reMatchroom didn’t have a rematch clause for Subriel Matias. Someone on his team really dropped the ball.

Yeah and I don’t think Eddie is going to be in a hurry to give him one…….Think he will have to force it winning, 2 or 3 in a row….BTW another huge fook up was that huge fookin ring that was to the benefit of Paro…..

Anyways WAR Matias, minor set back for a epic comeback….

[Phase III]

Hearn was so sure that in Mathis he had the boogeyman in the 140 pound division that he didn’t even consider a rematch clause.

Now Paro can make the Aussies proud after the Kambosos loss and the 2 round KO of hype job “Pretty Boy”s” very ugly loss to old man Lara. Kambosos loss was bad, but Pretty Boy’s loss was an embarrassment to Aussie boxing.

[Bullrider]

Yep. He deserves a homecoming fight in Australia. He caught a big fish or so-called boogeyman in his own backyard. Not to mention Paro been on the road for most of his fights. Matias' homecoming fight was premature in comparison and presumably didn't make a dent in ratings. Lucky for Paro for taking the fight. He struck gold here.

[SteveM]

Right!!! The Aussies won't let any criminals in not because of a high moral standard but because they already have more than their fair share of *******, Xtasy, heroin, crystal meth and Fentanyl dealers that it they let outsiders in it may spark off a bigger war! PUH-LEEZE

that wasn't the irony

[DougalDylan]

I thought it was a mandatory so you wouldn't have one? As Hearn was had both sides I doubt he cared and as Matias was getting Paro to his hometown he can'tr really complain.

Hearn is limited with how he can move Paro. Hearn has Haney )WBC) , Paro (IBF) and Hitchins under contract with Matchroom. Haney is under the illusion that he’s a PPV star, not realizing that Garcia is solely responsible for the PPV numbers when they fought.

The other 140 champions are:
Issac Cruz…. WBA…..PBC
Teo Lopez …..WBO…..TR

Hitchins is now Paro’s IBF mandatory.

Haney v Paro as a PPV fight is a bust in the US because nobody know Paro here.

Haney v Paro is possible for WBC and IBF unification in Australia but, there’s several big problems. Matchroom would have to pay Hitchins step aside money and Hearn is known to be be very cheap in that regard as he always looks after his pockets first. Then the IBF has a rehydration clause where fighters cannot be more than 10 pounds over the 140 weight the morning of the fight. This is a major problem for Haney who fights at least 156-160 going into the ring.. Both PBC and TR aren’t going to do Hearn any favors and sacrifice their fighter to fight a Matchroom fighter. Bob Arum can’t stand Hearn so Teo is definitely out. PBC can easily market Pit Bull in the US given the huge Mexican following.

Hitchins v Paro is NOT a draw in the US. The fight would draw better in Australia. Hearn is happy to ship his fighters to fight in opponents hometowns if he can make more money for himself. Ask Sandy Ryan who he shipped to Florida to fight McCaskill for a paltry purse of 75K because he got free rooms and meals from the Caribe Royale hotel. Sandy clearly won the fight but Jessica got a home cooking draw.

Hearn can make Paro v Cantrell as that fight would sell in the UK. But, Paro and Catterall will force Hearn to reach into his Saudi pockets to pay both fighters, something Hearn is reluctant to do when he has to sacrifice his own money.

In the end, Hearn will be forced to sacrifice Haney or Hitchins to fight Paro because at least in Australia, Paro is the draw. I believe he sacrifices Haney after the beating he took from Garcia. It’s highly questionable if Haney can recover from the Garcia beating. With Mathis possibly being a bust, Hearn must of had brain fog not having a rematch clause. The Mathis loss in his hometown was something Hearn never imagined. Big mistake on Hearn’s part. I’m sure DAZN is not happy with his lapse in thinking.

Yessir good post!! 140 is def in a pickle. Pitbull (pbc) Teo (Tr) Haney (not signed) Paro (?). Haney vs Paro will sell in Aussie not in the US. Paro vs Pitbull will sell in The US. Haney vs Paro won't sell in US on Dazn but would be a great co-main on a Spence vs Fundora PPV or a PPV on Prime with Tim Tszyu when he comes back. Imagine Haney vs Paro co main and Jermell vs Tszyu as the main. FIRE!! I guess it really depends if Paro is free or tied into matchroom.
