    If Hearn Can't Sign Some Name PBC Free Agents Who Does He Sign For This DAZN Project?

    There are rumors Hearn is having some issues picking up free agents from PBC's massive free agent pool.

    If that trend is true/continues who are the top free agents or soon to be free agents in boxing that Eddie can sign to put on 16 shows (4 of them being "huge" event cards)?

    Whats the minimal number of main event guys does he need here btw? 5? 6? Fighting 3ish times a year?

    Not sure he is struggling. He's negotiating with some and has signed a few already. I would guess he already has Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter and Keith Thurman and he will likely get the Charlos and Mikey Garcia so he has more than enough main events when you throw in Kell Brook, Amir Khan and AJ.

      People got a bit carried away with what Robert and Mikey Garcia said. Theyre in negotiations, they didn't flat out refuse him. Mikey interview below paints a different picture to whats going on.

        Why would you guess that? Not saying he hasn't but its a pretty ballsy claim.

          Who's he allegedly signed?

          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?

            Because Eddie has said he's already signed fighters and knows the main event for his September card. On twitter he was asked if he had signed Garcia and he replied which one? suggesting he's looking to sign both. He already has a good relationship with Kenny Porter. My guess is his first show will be Porter v Garcia in September.

              I think you are going under a different premise than I am as well. Sure I brought up that there are people in the media suggesting this isn't a massive W with picking up Haymon guys for Hearn left & right, but thats not my question really.

              My question was: If Hearn Can't Sign Some Name PBC Free Agents Who Does He Sign For This DAZN Project?

              IF Hearn can't sign PBC free agents is he just f#cked?

                I don’t even think the deal with 3 months yet, he was and isn’t going to sign boxers just like that. The top names would take their time before they get their names on any contract. If you are J.love then am sure Hearn can get you to sign within a week. If 6 months down the line things are not looking up for DAZN then we can revisit why.

                    Oh ok, looking at it that way then he is let’s say phucked. If no name free agents wouldn’t sign with you then why would free agents with a name (Spence for example) sign with you.
