Comments Thread For: Hearn, Perform Group Reveal Details of '$1 Billion' Venture

[Kezzer]

The UK and US are two entirely different markets; Matchroom Sport has already put on two Daniel Jacobs events, and you can't really tell me what Eddie's done to make things feel different.

You add that the deal doesn't include Anthony Joshua and likely won't include Ward-Bellew or Khan-Brook, and what are we really talking about here. Katie Taylor building her resume and UK Olympians getting built towards British and Commonwealth titles against folks we'd barely even heard of.

Why wouldn’t it include ward bellew or Khan Brook if they were made ? I would expect both of them probably would to be honest? Wilder Joshua could be too big however my feeling is thag they would use that as a bit of a launch for the platform and therefore you would get it anyway, that is presuming the deal is made for he fight in the uk where they are already guaranteed the UK £ income.

I’m sure Joshua is likely to be on in the future agajnst any other fights though.

That's why its way more likely that eddie hearn and al haymon work together because no matter what anyone says US boxing is on life support and the closest one to bringing this thing back to life is AL Haymon with his FOX tv deal.

I think it comes down to who has the rights to who. For example I believe andre ward is possible but khan and brook were built on sky that could damage eddies relationship with the network by taking stars they developed somewhere else?

The deal appears to be collaborative with sky. Sky have made an announcement they get the extra 16 US fights too.

I imagine khan brook would be ppv in the Uk but on this service for free (or part of normal monthly pay) in america

You're missing the point & it's clear so question is why?

Other than mayweather(there won't be another) the biggest purses, the highest earners, the biggest crowds have been heavyweight boxing that can be sold to the US market.

Aj & Hearn claim to want all the belts.
The admit they overpaid to get the belts they have. Charles Martin, Joseph Parker.. who were these guys? Real threats?
Klitschko..who'd been inactive & beaten in his last fight..hardly threw a punch & looked beatable.

Now there's wilder. The final piece that they claim to want.
Suddenly they don't want to overpay.

There's no denying wilder is the most dangerous fight for aj..he poses a bigger threat than any of the other 3 guys they "overpaid" I think the word they meant was "bought".

They've created aj for the casuals..selling him against overmatched fighters. They took a calculated risk with klit...they won't do it with wilder.

Wilder will ko aj....once that happens wilder will be the new Tyson...Mike Tyson, that's how he'll sell

The only other threat will be Fury...Hearn won't put aj in with either unless they sign

A heavyweight paper champ will sell more than 3 lower weight classes together

Wilder with all the belts will earn more than all the fighters you mentioned combined. It's heavyweight boxing

this deal is bigger than that fight and within a month al bet wilder will be in hearns stable. money talks he will sign so will spence hearn wants the aj wilder fight in house and he will get it that fight happens this year 100%. the mans been a breath of fresh air since he took over the uk scene and he will bring the same into the fading u.s market. hes the guy you want running the show not these thieves oscar floyd n arum you will see

[Sid-Knee]

Rest assured all the Hearn naysayers will be here shortly to tell us how much of a snake he is, how he will never compete with Haymon and how the fighters at PBC know they're at the best place right now...

Fighting once a year... their stock falling for ever decreasing paydays.

The days of the PBC overpaying for absolute **** to protect belts but fail to promote their holders properly are over. The days of selling off lighting and rigging equipment to protect costs are over.

The days of asking world champions to relinquish their belts like peter quillin are over.

Oh well that changes everything lol

[Boxnation fan]

Oh Frank, you really can’t handle Eddie's success can you? It's literally eating you alive.

Thing is, Eddie's already achieved more in his 6 or so years promoting than you have in nearly 40! And it's easy to see why. Eddie's better than you Frank, much better. He beats you in literally every department… roster, matchmaking, promotion, event execution, crowd size, atmosphere, tv shows, the list goes on… his product is better because he knows how to entertain the whole spectrum of boxing fans, from casual to hardcore.

In fact, if I were to compare your respective promotional operations to the movies, I'd have to say that Eddie is the Hollywood of British boxing promotion. And you Frank? You're the Pinewood.

Yes, you were the Don King of British boxing promotion once, and like the king, you perhaps expected your throne to pass unchallenged some day to one of your sons. But remember, you stole the throne from the old royals (Duff/Astaire/Levine), so is it any surprise that the same throne was usurped (along with half your stable) by an upstart car salesman?

You say the Matchroom/DAZN deal won't last 24 months, maybe not even 12 months. Well I reckon that deal will last far beyond the day BT Sport have ditched your sorry arse. Do yourself a favour Frank and let it go. Living in a perpetual state of saltiness can’t be doing your health any good can it?

Is that you Eddie Hearn?

All that botox you're injecting into your face will one day swell up your face so big that it'll finally match your ego.

How about those Hair Transplants you've had, how many is that now...3?

Good luck with the deal...this will only be great for Boxnation whether it succeeds or fails.

As you're fully aware, Boxnation signed a deal with IMG, you know the biggest and most powerful Media Agency in the world who make DAZN look like boy scouts so it's all good.

When you've been in this business for 30 more years, then start bragging about how well you're doing.

We'll see how Matchroom does without the defacto Promoter SKY MEDIA building up the fights!

Without SKY, your two HBO shows played to half empty arenas and average viewing figures.

Poor Eddie...a horrible bully boy that the truth will come out about one day when SKY MEDIA and your PR Boys stop cleaning up your very Dirty Laundry.

Here's the sell

Hearn knows wilder is gonna spark aj & he wants wilder signed to him.

This deal will be used as an excuse to duck wilder unless Hearn holds all the cards.
He won't put aj near wilder nor will he pay him a decent fee to fight without signing.
Hearn will look to keep aj safe with his fights for a few years if wilder doesn't sign.

Hearn will start to talk about the bigger picture and how everything's exciting and wilders not doing enough...

It's all smoke and mirrors to duck wilder or sign him up as Hearn knows wilder will take Joshua out...
Whoever has wilder will run the game. Hearn knows this..

So he's gonna try and shut wilder out to devalue him or sign himself, this deal will be his platform

Hearn has a $billion deal going on but you think it's a smoke screen to duck Wilder?

I think you should take some time away from the internet if you think that. That's way beyond crazy.

[BodiesInFlight]

Are you ok frank ?

Sounding awful negative there pal

He's fuming!
