Comments Thread For: Hearn May Potentially Challenge Top Rank, Golden Boy

[ShoulderRoll]

Good! More competition forces promotional companies to put on better quality fights!

I agree.

Let Hearn try his hand in the U.S. market, maybe he can bring some fresh ideas and it will force the other promoters to step their game up too in order to compete.

He should also consider getting Anthony Joshua an American trainer so that he can develop into a well rounded heavyweight. Maybe Freddie Roach or Robert Garcia?

Won't happen, America has all the big boys and theyre alreadya aware that Al Haymon is their man, and with Richard Schaefer most likely popping out his own promotional company soon (hence why Shawn Porters waiting) there will be enough crap as going on with fighters not wanting to fight each other running to different promotional companies.

We dont need another company to come in and cause more complications.

If Schaefer is a Golden Boy shareholder, than he can not legally start up a competing company.

Bob Arum is like an old ladies hairy gash. Not needed and not wanted.

I wish him luck, but the fans on this side of the Atlantic need to coerced to buy tickets and sit down. In the UK the fans show up by default. The UK has boxing fans at about 5x per capita over anywhere over here except maybe Montreal.

More competition is better than less, so the yanks should hope that Hearn tries to make a splash. That goes for the fighters as well.

He should worry a little about the home market though, as Sauerland has their eyes set on Britain particularly now that their contract with broadcaster ARD is about to expire. Signings of Price and Groves is probably just the beginning.

Well stated.

I've known Eddie for over 10 years, if he decides to take this on the he'll succeed.

Matchroom are by far the best and most loyal promotional team in the world, they are the only ones who take chances and will allow the fighters to pick the fights they want. All American promoters are scumbags, the history of the country is littered with them, to be frank if i were an American citizen i'd be deeply ashamed, embarrassed and would make every effort to change citizenship.

I also heard that Eddie has a massive willy and likes it being tickled.

Hearn is irrelevant in the US. I take it you're not American.

[Scipio2009]

British promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport is running one of the most successful promotional companies in boxing. He has an exclusive television deal with Sky Sports and promotes numerous highly regarded champions, contenders and rising prospects.

Hearn is now seriously considering the possibility of entering the American market, which is largely dominated by Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions.

From what I've seen of his work, Eddie Hearn has pretty good relationships with everyone, sans Frank Warren (not sure why, but whatever).

If he comes over and becomes the promoter of issue for the free-floating slate of Al Haymon-backed fighters, while also bringing in someone like Binkov or Schaefer to handle the day-to-day workings of, in essence, Matchroom Sport USA, things could actually end up working out.

Doing so may end up jeopardizing the relationship with HBO, but Showtime is more than willing to pick up whatever would be lost with HBO. Utilize Sky and Showtime to develop the fighters and build the fights and leverage the exposure to build up good US fights and establish British superstars to showcase on British TV.

could get really interesting.
