    Who is a better ring announcer- Buffer or Corona Girl #4?
    I'll say Arum, because he's white and I'm supposed to be biased towards anything and everything white, according to the "rules". And I'll go with Corona girl #4, for obvious reasons

      Hearn byyy far. He's going to have you more active, and you will make just as much money.

      Haymon is so shady it's disgusting. I think hearn is great at his job and played a large role in the resurgence of boxing in the UK

        Live gate: Floyd tickets are far more expensive than any tickets for any Hearn guy. I respect the big crowds, but 40,000 seats cost as much as 4,000 at a Floyd fight. If Floyd fought either of those men you listed in Wembley he'd more than triple the gate of what any Hearn guy would make.

        Schaefer: Now that he is doing the promoting we have already seen the benefits of his experience. Now he will be building fights better and putting on better matches. PBC, for all its problems, didn't have a network paying rights fees, they were operating on time buys. this year it appears they have the rights fees from networks to do fights. As we've seen with early schedules this is leading to PBC putting on much better fights. Hearn has a much more polished operation though.

        Hearn, is doing a tremendous job. I just think much of the good things Haymon has done gets forgotten.
        .
        Definitely not looking to discredit any of the PBC's work so far. I'm only looking at this from a fan's perspective, and saying that the fan experience in the UK seems to be at a fever pitch.

        You are absolutely right though, Schaefer will be a game changer in all of this. It should have been a known since his departure from Golden Boy.

          OK. The fan experience in any fight involving a British fighter is incredible, except maybe Khan. I would agree that you'd get a better experience at a Hearn show.

            Not the same

            HEARN does a great job at promoting I'm just amazed that people love the kool aid he's selling 90% of the time it's sh.it fights . Look at Kells and AJ resume full of garbage but people think he's the greatest since sliced bread

            Shaeffer has put on 1 card in 2 years and that card alone matched the amount of good competitive top qaulity fights matchrooms put on all year. Let that sink in

              If you think Hearn is better for the sport than Haymon just say that and be done with it.
              He's a manager that happens to run a boxing promotion. Don't get me wrong, I don't really hold it against him - the lines between management, promotion and distribution have always been blurred, but it is what it is.

                Cmon fellas. It's clear haymon is the promoter too. He uses small time promoters as his outlet, he chooses the platform, the fights, the percentages. He obviously can't be the promoter and manager because of the Ali act.

                Don't take this as a criticism against the haymon fan club. Everyone always thanks haymon and he obviously does a great job getting fighters well paid and taking care of them. His only downside is keeping fighters active when they want to fight.
