    Gervonta was rumored as saying he was open to listen to Hearn's offer. I highly doubt he'd get Americans of that caliber at this early stage.

    Good luck to Hearn.
    we shall see....i wouldnt be shocked if hearn started landing some american talent...but i wouldnt really bet on it...i just dont see it

    its weird though..these uk guys always bash the americans and how they arent as popular...yet their promoter wants to come over here and establish himself here

    its not as easy for hearn here as it is where hes at....boxing has a cult following over in his neck of the woods...its tougher to do well over here in the states...its not a big sport here...although it still does well enough

    im sure alot of these guys like davis, the charlos etc. are going to be willing to listen to an offer...doesnt mean they are gonna go with him though

    interestingly i still dont know if weve seen a purse figure for the last daniel jacobs fight for danny..id be curious to know what he got

      Isn't it a mandatory to disclose fighters' purses to the state commission, or is that a voluntary thing?

          Our promoter Is he like our Queen?

          He's a businessman. Show me a successful businessman that doesn't want to expand his business, so not really sure what the point you were trying to make there.

            The old guard of US boxing need to be taken out. Hearn and his willing to work with any promoter, and Kalle Sauerland with the WBSS are the future. Time for the dinosaurs to do one.

              Me neither. That's why I used to question some of Arum's reported Pac purses.

                Do American fighters want to fight on HBO, SHO, and Espn or on DAZN?

                I don't think Hearn is offering that much more money that they are already making. No one is going to be rushing to fight on DAZN though. I don't see him having much success with the top fighters in America.

                  the way you guys defend his actions regarding wilder/aj id def say hes your queen

                  my point is why would a successful businesman want to dip into a market that you guys claim isnt successful in the first place? if established promoters cant make superstars over here in america does hearn think hes special and different?

                  you guys claim wilder cant sell and make money...you guys claim alot of guys arent known....does hearn think hes magical?

                  literally any top US promoter could have taken joshua and done the same thing with him...its not rocket science

                  im sure you will try to tell me hearn is special and is doing special things....the fans would have been behind AJ if a 10 year old pakistani kid was his promoter.....

                  guys like ward and wilder cant sell and dont make any real money...the charlos nobody knows them...nobody really knows thurman.....yet here is hearn wanting a piece of all of them....its logic that is counter to the garbage the UK fans here spew on a weekly basis

                  sometimes smart businessmen who are successful realize when its a smart move to stay out/away from something ......or could it be that the US is a pretty decent boxing market and you guys are all wrong?!?!

                    i agree in that i think that bob arum needs to be gone...i think once he is no longer on earth things might be different...i think todd wants to do some different things but really cant while bob is still kicking and has his hate filled agenda....but then again ive seen todd make some comments too that seem to fall in line with the way bob has/does business

                    what haymon is doing is fine....i dont see much wrong with what he has been doing

                    oscar is a different story...but he doesnt have much other than canelo

                      Are you kidding? Oscar has 19 year old Ryan Garcia, potenially the next Superstar of American Boxing...which the likes of Thurman, Broner, Spence or Jacobs will never be.

                      He also Co-promotes 21 year old Jaime Munguia, who looks like he will become a major American Star too.

                      Canelo is still only 27 years old so two years from now, Golden Boy could have the three biggest Super Stars in American Boxing!
