Will come down to where he sets up and how open his shop is, tbh.
Al Haymon has basically set things up on his side of the fence like the old NWA, with one largely common pool of talent and separate promoters controlling different territories (DiBella in New York, Michel in Montreal, Brown/Schaefer in CA, Mayweather/Schaefer/Brown in Las Vegas, Marguiles in Chicago/South, etc).
The two major markets that don't really have a promoter set just yet are Texas and Florida (a lot of the fighters from the UK seem to set up shop in Miami before heading up the East Coast).
If Hearn is up for building the market in Florida, while also co-promoting shows in New York and Las Vegas, Matchroom Sport USA will likely thrive in it's role as a satellite to his core business in the UK.
If he plants his flag in New York and tries to do things on his own, the effort likely loses all momentum pretty quickly, likely becoming a drag on the core UK business.Comment

Boxing is fun when you've got folks actively working together, with the only linchpin being business.
Joshua-Wilder is still a bit away, but the wheels are in motion. Do not be shocked if the next card for Deontay Wilder (likely set for Showtime) features Wilder-Ortiz and Stiverne-Whyte (Wilder's camp likely gives up some money to smooth the deal, but Wilder gets the fight he wants, the threat of losing the WBA belt gets put off for Joshua, and, if Dillian's good enough, Matchroom Sport ends up getting the Wilder-Whyte fight next, possibly in the UK, while Joshua targets Parker or another fight, possibly in his US debut).
Summer 2018 seems pretty well positioned for a heavyweight blockbuster from T-Mobile Arena (the spectacle of seeing 90k+ people for a fight is definitely something, but a major fight in Las Vegas has the setup to deliver both camps three or four times the money).Comment

Wilder is making a big mistake. He is letting Hearn talk. Nobody wants to hear this asswipe speak. Only Joshua's fans will gobble his **** up. Hearn is a true ****head and Wilder is talking to him and giving him a voice, lmao.Comment

This makes people question why Hearn is talking and Joshua isn't.
AJ don't wanna get Baptized and taken out on an XXL stretcher.
That is why he is quiet as a dead roach.Comment
