Did Hearn get distracted by the Bellew fight? He must have underestimated how much Dirrell's side would bid as sure he really wanted this in the UK.

damn thats a shock, isnt smith with hearn? this isnt much of a fight in the us

I guess PBC still has some bankroll left or some network is willing to pay a decent amount for that fight plus the under card. Spike! perhaps seems like their kind of fight.

Where would this be?
At Stub Hub, Coney Island, Vegas, Texas?
Main event or co-main to a bigger fight?

[Chrismart]

Hmm, i'm surprised by that one.

Damn what an awful investment Anthony is average at best
Haymon spending money like it's 2015

Bet Tom Brown was as surprised as anyone he won this bid.

Sauerland won the Ramirez-AA bid but TR negotiated with them afterwards to get it in the US. Guessing Hearn will be on the phone trying something similar any minute.

He's demanding a recount like Donald *****
