    I think it'll be Jarrell Miller. Hearn has been talking about possibly matching him up with Joshua in America but even if that doesn't happen next he could match him up with someone like Dillian Whyte to keep it in house while both are unable to get a title shot due to unifications taking priority.

      Miller is already signed I believe.

        Breazeale could be a possibility, is he "major" though?

          Oh right in that case i have no idea, Wilder would've been an interesting shout but he's kind of been going back and fourth with Eddie recently.

            I immediately thought Porter. Not sure why, he just seems like a guy willing to explore opportunities like this.
            There was a youtube interview last year, think it was Robert Garcia. Just before the interview started you could hear Hearn and Kenny Porter chatting in the background, Kenny saying "we are very interested".

            Problem with Porter or any other 147/154 guy though is youre putting an unnecessary hurdle between you and the fights you want.

              Not at all. Gervonta Davis, for instance.

                I reckon Spence is a good shout.
                Link to video? There is a million Hearn vids on IFL. And its not like they are 3 minutes long & are 1 topic based. A lot of them last 40+mins & are like state of the boxing union discussions lol.

                  Kenny Porter (idk about Shawn) was just in the UK for the Lenroy Thomas fight too. That could explain why Porter is uncharacteristically not fighting ANYONE for once when most of the name guys on the PBC roster has had a fight.

                    I was thinking about him myself, but didn't think he'd be "major".

                    That said it wouldn't be a bad pickup, be a fun fight between him vs Whyte probably, but I don't think even Hearn would consider it major.

                      I think there are some guys who have more open ended deals with Haymon, usually the guys with him from back in the day.

                      But there are fixed term deals that have extensions if you get ranked in the top w/e or win a title & standard sh^t like that that many promoter titles have too. There was a Haymon contract released a couple years back right before or soon after he started to sign a sh^tton of guys.

                      Not sure which one is the more often used, but since he's got a lot of guys he's got a newer relationship with since PBC started I'm guessing its more of the standard sh^t type contract to insure both sides are on the same page.
