    I keep hearing NDA talk that suggests a big reveal is in store, but who knows anything for sure at this point. But I do see some pundits & media suggesting Hearn is struggling. If its true or not is a whole other debate then the one I bring fourth.

    My original premise remains the same. IF Hearn can't sign PBC free agents who does he sign? Is he just f#cked?
    No because as he has said he will work with other promoters to create good shows. Like he has done with Salita, he can work with Kath Duva, World of Boxing, Yvon Michel. So he could potentially put on Bivol v Beterbiev. But he's not going to struggle, its just of question of how many he can sign.

      Well the worst case scenario I'd imagine would be the Sky cards, and substandard US cards, picking up Andrade cards for ridiculous purses, lol. Riding off the back of the WBSS, til something pops up. Wing it for a bit.

      What ever happens with it, youre most likely looking at a couple of months of weekly WBSS cards, 2 UK cards in each those months, straight off. Then the cherry on top of it all is what Hearn can come up with on the Matchroom USA cards.

          Hes said when DAZN do their announcement at the end of next month, they'll be announcing another deal that would take the number of cards in the first year beyond 50. Sounds a lot like hes talking about the WBSS.

            He might not fill 16 American cards in his first year. If he can just sign four high profile Americans like Mikey, Thurman, Ward and Charlo and give them three fights each within the year then that's one show per month. I assume Jacobs, Miller and his British fighters will also be available at some point. The opponents and undercard fighters can just be secured on a show-by-show basis - he has deep enough pockets that I'm sure other promoters won't mind lending him their guys temporarily and taking their cut of the purse

              PBC/Showtime have been putting on the best shows for 2 years. Why would any boxing fan want to see them go to Hearn so they can fight the Jo Jo Dans 3 fights a year is beyond me.

                The Sky side is all good ain't it? He's got the same ole thing he's had going still going.

                And isn't the WBSS thing ON TOP of his 16 shows?

                This DAZN thing is gonna live or die on his US roster first & the matchups he makes with said roster second.

                If Hearn is trying to sell Bradley Skeete to the American public good f#cking luck with that.

                There has gotta be some free agents or nearly free agents that make Bradley Skeete the main event for a US card not make sense lol.

                I don't even remember if Skeete is with Hearn I just like saying his name.

                  LOL, Bradley Skeete, nah hes with Warren. Sky cards wont be affected, just the same things as its always been.

                  If DAZN does have the WBSS its not to do with Hearn, its a separate deal. Id imagine there could be situations when you get competing cards. That whole thing you've always brought up about the US and WBSS, how it isn't really possible logistically to have it all on the same channel. Streaming platform is ideal for the WBSS, eliminates the problem.

                    He can sign the best amateur fighters like Daniyar Yeleussinov.

                      Eddie has already said the first show is in September and the first "monster" (i.e PPV worthy) in November.
