Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder, Charlo Brothers Need Help - They Are on My Radar!

[R_Walken]

Oh yes that goes without saying. If I started a promotion company in my front room today and had Joshua as my new client ,the Joshua vs Wilder fight ,I could promise them both they would make more with me than they have ever made in a fight with any network or promoter. Nothing to do with my skills as a promoter ,More to do with the match up

I get what your saying and For sure opponents determine what a fighter gets paid

But Jacobs under Hearn hasn’t fought anyone yet people give a sh.it about and I don’t think his purses , I think Hearn and Jacobs went into business together in hopes they could land another Gennady fight or a Canelo fight ( But neither will happen ) and all the other top MW seem to have other plans

This leaves Jacobs dying on the vine. His best bet might be to move up to 168 and fight Callum Smith ( If he wins the WBSS, ) in a big fight over in the UK

in this moment, Eddie Hearn gave me flashbacks to former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight at the '95 Source Awards

Not really

Who Suge is talking about ( Puffy ) is basically what Eddie Hearn is

Eddie is the promoter who is all up in the videos, the promoter hogging the limelight taking away camera time from his fighters. He’s made Matchroom the Eddie Hearn show. The guy has appointed himself AJs mouth piece and has made it a point to be part of the shown. At this point It’s about him not So much the fighters he represents. If he signed the Charlos or Wilder it’d probably be the same thing.

Sh.it when Jacobs fought Sulecki they mentioned Eddie Hearns name before His Company Matchroom.

and he had Brooklyn fighters on that card that's what makes it even worse.

Exactly! I don't know how that didn't sell, but something went wrong there!

He is a British promoter not a wizard.

No I think for Danny he should take him to the U.K. now he has the money and fight Billie joe Saunders . They now have the platform. Inundate the British public with Danny’s struggles and triumphs. There is also Degale sitting around doing nothing. He is there for the taking. Jacobs can easily become a 2 weight champion.

Jacobs can easily become a 2 weight champ..no question...but who will really give a ****? you think the british fans are going to embrace danny and have him selling out soccer stadiums?

[Curt Henning]

I would have to see how he promotes a US fighter first. Hearn may find its harder in the states where he won't be a big fish in a small pond. I mean he hasn't done much for Jacobs and the three fighters who he mentioned are building their own names. PBC can't promote all of the guys on their roster adequately so it make sense for all parties to outsource, but if I'm one of the bigger names in the sport and he's not offering a hell of an incentive package, I don't see a reason to sign

wilder and jermall are two of the pbcs highest priority guys though

they are doing/moving them about as well as one could promote them here in the states...wilders popularity is growing daily.......charlo is still a bit behind but hes still 27 and they are moving him....3 straight ko's while being featured on showtime...they are moving in the right direction

[Oshio]

Its like Americans have this phobia for British. Why does the mention of Hearn cause anxiety for the US fans? Pathological or what?

[yammy25]

Hearns never built a fighter from scratch. Always signed names already established. Born with silver spoon and makes out he's the second coming. The only fighter he had from start was aj and he was a reigning Olympic champion at his home Olympics. A monkey could have promoted him. Don't understand where hearn thinks he's done something amazing for any boxers

Already established...

In what regard? You mean they had already boxed before and weren't 0-0?

Name me a fighter in hearns stable who's stock... Drawing power and commercial revenue were the same as when they signed and haven't absolutely skyrocketed since he became their promoter?

[filup79]

No but he’s got a proven record of taking fighters to the next level which is what the Charlo brothers need. Why does it matter if he hasn’t built anyone from scratch in this scenario

Who has he taken to the next level? A lot of the Euro fighters look good domestically but as soon as they step up in competition and fight someone out of the country they get their @ss beat.

I’m talking about commercially. Froch, Bellew and brook’s careers have improved exponentially since joining Hearn. Bellew especially as he’s a **** average fighter but the amount he’s able to generate is incredible. The Charlo brothers are in similar positions to Carl Froch when he joined Matchroom. A world champion but with very little interest around them.

I agree with you, and I don't know what Hearn could really do differently. Its not like he has a connection with US media to get these guys on other programs. Wilder doesn't need him at all. He only signed with in 2013, he got a belt a year and a half later and is on the verge of the biggest fight in boxing. I see no reason to give Hearn an extra cut there.

[SinderellaMan]

Wilder & The Charlos need to jump ship let Hearn make them some real money. I’m from the states & Hearn is a lying coward, BUT
His fighters are getting paid very well
