It's not like Hearn did it overnight. He learned the market through his dad's business and then spent time building up the boxing business for a modern format. If he figures out the American market he could do it there too!
I get the impression Duva and Roc Nation have no intention of figuring out who their audience is and how to connect with them. Whilst Haymon's mode hasn't been a roaring success, at least he's trying new things, unlike dinosaurs like Arum and formerly King.

Originally posted by BOXINGADICT View Postthats true but i have noticed recently espn and fox sports covering boxing more than they ever have... Boxing is have a resurgence in america and with the top rank espn/abc deal it should get even better hopefully...
I hope so. When boxing does well in America that's good for everyone. I'd like to think the pbc shows being shown on free tv has made a difference too? That was the whole point of the project when it started

Originally posted by Fabes88 View PostHelp is the right word because he has options on indongo due to him beating burns so he is somewhat known over here. If his one contribution is getting the ibf to sanction the fight and turning it into a 4 belt unification then it's a big one I'm sure you'll agree with me on that. Being able to navigate boxing politics is crucial to being a top promoter. Also this fight won't be on ppv it will be on regular sky sports which in your terms is a premium cable channel so no one will have to buy it.
