who has hearn promoted successfully in the us?

promoting in the uk is easy, ricky burns can sell out an arena fighting johnny popinstuffer

LMAO! That's true, UK fans are very tribalistic, they support their hometown fighters, no matter what. US fans - not so much, I doubt Jacobs can sell 5k tickets in Brooklyn.

HBO and PBC/Showtime have done business several times in the past and will continue to do so. Please don't start this

Well then hopefully we see Charlo vs Jacobs in 2018.

Well then hopefully we see Charlo vs Jacobs in 2018.

The priority should be:

1. Jacobs vs GGG - unfinished business

2. Jacobs vs Saunders - Saunders has been ducking for years

3. Jacobs vs Canelo/Charlo - Canelo would obviously provide more money, but skillfully, these fighters are interchangeable in the threat level the pose to Danny

Maybe it is harder to promote in the US but there is no denying that when it comes to promoting.. Nobody does it better than Hearn.

Matchroom US has only been announced today so of course Hearn hasn't promoted anyone in the US.. but he's opened up a headquarter in the US and he's serious about taking Matchroom to the US so at least he will try. One thing for sure is he will promote Jacobs better than anyone else has ever done in his career.

Jacobs
Nelo
GGG
Charlo
Murata
N'Dam
Lemieux
BJS
Lara
Andrade

The most ideal pool of 160 fighters imo

Jacobs beats the dogshit out of the ginger...

just like golovkin was suppose to knock him out and walk right through him. Jacobs is a decent fighter but Canelo pole axes him marquez style

This is wrong. Haymon has three tiers of fighters.

1. Guys with signed deals with promoters (i.e. Wilder)
2. Guys that dony have promoter deals, but are PBC fighters (Porter, Garcia, Thurman)
3. Guys who are "free agents" meaning they don't have either a promo deal, or a PBC "deal" (Khan, Mikey, Danny, Spence)

Most people don't realize that there's multiple contractual relationships at work here. Nonetheless they are all still advised by Al Haymon.

this wrong.

First off wilder doesn't have a promoter. Dibella has been his de facto promoter last few fights but wilder has never signed a contract with dibella. He could use a different promoter whenever he wants. Haymon doesn't have his guys sign with promoters.

Haymon has guys with pelleted but those are guys who were already with promoters when al signed them. Adonis Stevenson Jose pedraza are examples. Frampton and beterbiev were examples of this.

Al never has his guys sign. Now he can't use Jacobs on pbc. Use your Brain

Canelo is an awesome fighter. He's behind Jacobs and Golovkin in the middleweight rankings though.

I'm sure something is in the works...no way would Danny make this move without Haymon consent

Hearn is also signing Big Baby Miller. Both Big Baby and Jacobs were due to fight on Wilder's undercard but they aren't anymore.
