    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.
    Sky don't have the WBSS.

    ITV do at the moment. Not entirely sure if that's still the case but they atleast have the Super Middle one.

    Seems like American's are hesitant to sign with Hearn. I don't blame them he would only have himself to blame if this **** fails because he's rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

        Given that Broner and Wilder are the only ones who seem hesitant signing with Hearn, I would say there are lot more who are signing with him. Its bizarre anyone thinks Eddie will have trouble signing fighters. More money and signing with the best promoter in the game who has a track record of delivering for fighters, why wouldn't they sign with Hearn?

            Not sure. It will be interesting.

            It seems alot of Al Haymon's guys are loyal to him see it will be interesting to see how many of his guys are willing to sign with Hearn.

                And therein lies the problem. These guys aren’t poor. And based on the feedback from even guys like Mikey Garcia, the money isn’t that much better than what they’re making, if at all.

                But you’re missing the human aspect. Maybe, just maybe, a lot of them don’t want to be tied to a promoter. Especially Hearn who stepped on a lot of toes.

                  he doesnt have to actually "sign" fighters in order to put them on TV. With the kinds of rights fees he's getting, he could buy up purse bid fights and then fill the undercards with his own guys. Or he could work with Arum, Golden Boy, Duva, Shaeffer, or any other non-PBC promoter who has fighters but not enough tv dates......

                  Edit: Arum probably has enough tv dates with his ESPN deal, but nobody else does......

                    Maybe none,and who cares?
                    The PR from the 1billion bs its ok and all but honestly they wont leave Al because they know they can fight can after can and still get a good payday. Its a hard to beat deal
                    I just want these dudes to fight each other is that souch to ask

                      Not necessarily.

                      It's not disloyal to listen to an offer.

                      I really don't see a lot of these guys leaving Al Haymon.
