They are making up imaginary hate. On boxingscene If one or two people says something negative it means everyone feels that wayI really haven't seen any hate on it. The only criticism I have seen is people asking what fighters he will have as well as saying if he doesn't bulk up that stable no way are they paying 20 bucks a month for what will amount to ESPN friday night fights. I agree with thatComment

That's not necessarily true. He has $125 million to spend per year on 32 cards. That's $3.9 million per card with 16 of then being in the US. Some cards would cost more than others. Check out this card's purses:Charlo brothers have already said they’d never sign with Hearn. In my opinion I don’t think no high profile “brotha” is signing with Hearn. Mikey Garcia is signed with Zuffa and none of the top guys will fight 3 times a year without being largely compensated. Hearn would go out of business real quick if he had all those fighters you mentioned fighting three times a year. Hopefully this venture is better than what he’s doing with Jacobs and HBO
Adrien Broner $1 million
Jessie Vargas $500,000
Jermall Charlo $500,000
Hugo Centeno Jr. $235,000
Gervonta Davis $350,000
Jesus Cuellar $350,000
That's a total of $2,935,000.
He could easily have these guys fighting 3-4 times a year.Comment

What was wrong with Bellew vs Haye?
He also put on Brook vs Spence and GGG.
For every Garcia vs Salka, there's a Garcia vs Thurman.
Let's not pretend like it doesn't go both ways with both promotions.Comment

The average card will probably be in the 2-2.5mil ratio with the four 'monster cards' being higher.That's not necessarily true. He has $125 million to spend per year on 32 cards.

the honest response to that is that I actually didn't see those responses.
But listen, everyone has a price incl. Charlo. Whether or not he's smart enough to see it is up to him. He's obviously a stubborn guy, but he doesn't seem dumb to me.
If there's an opportunity for him to make double, he should take it imo.
But I also just said who I thought Hearn should sign, not who he's definitely going to sign.Comment

Did you watch either fight? Haye had serious injuries going into both fights. Not only that, but Haye's last good win was almost ten years ago.
Fact is that Hearn protected Brook for years until Spence was the mandatory. Hearn knows his boxing and keeps his fighters protected from challenges, which is unlike the PBC on Showtime. Just ask Adrien Broner.
Also Garcia vs Salka was NOT PBC - that was a Golden Boy card.Comment
