Comments Thread For: Hearn: With My War Chest - I'll Build Biggest Stable Ever in U.S.

[Boris Johnson!]

Corporate ministry is biggest, toughest ever US stable, Hearn not coming up with anything stronger than that

All of those guys Hearn is going after are all Al Haymon fighters. I wonder how it's going to play out?

It could work. As we remember GB had all of Haymon's fighters before, so Eddie could become the primary promoter for them the way that GB was before.

The thing that I don't get is how this billion dollar model plays out when I don't know anyone who has ever heard of DAZN. And with Netflix already costing a monthly fee, cable and even the ESPN app, I don't know who pays for this considering that they only have boxing right now. I mean they could get some US soccer on their platform, but the big 3 US sports are already locked in on TV contracts which pay much more than DAZN will be able to.

But you got your 12 year old nephew so your good. Let Eddie into your home bro I promise everything will be alright�� . Funny story ✌��

Yeah I just might. I said I'm not paying for DAZN or anymore apps to watch boxing but if he starts putting together good fights then Imma have too.... 😆

Wondering How it's Playing Out

I can't tell you how it will play out in the future. I can tell you as of right now Fast Eddy is striking out. Wilder and Broner are not interested. Thurman is possibly retired. Chavez Jr has been s disappointment his entire career. Chavez also appears to not have the best work effort.

He's locked in to needing to deliver 30 shows though, in an environment where he's not the only person with money looking for boxing content.

We'll see though. (In a perfect world, Eddie Hearn joins the Haymon orbit, Showtime/CBS keeps their end of the premium content, and Matchroom Sport USA takes over the rest of the PBC deal from Fox Sports for DAZN, with BounceTV keeping their four shows)

You make it sound rougher than it is. Half of those 30 shows are maintaining the status quo and business as usual in the UK.

He's got 16 dates for US dates plus the biggest budget in boxing, by a lot. Allegedly Showtime and HBO got ~$60M, ~$70M between them and Hearn gots $125M.

He's either gonna need to acquire Haymon guys or make ends meet with purse bid fights as others have mentioned til he acquires boxers who are entering free agency as he goes.

Boxing is filled with boxers who dislike their promoter and are looking for a guy looking to pay them more and get them bigger fights. So I think it's only a matter of time before Hearn gets the 6 to 8 names he needs to put on 16 US shows.

Wilder was never a possibility, he aint gunna play second fiddle to Joshua. Broners crazy. Thurman most likely has signed with Hearn, Chavez Jr does ratings not bad short term, Mikey Garcia will be in, Ward is a wildcard but if hes coming back he'll be with Hearn.

He won't tell you and neither will the fighters. Unlike Broner there are people that understand the implications of an NDA.

Expect a choreographed announcement synchronised with the first details of the subscription. Maybe they'll give the first month away free to get as many as possible using the service.
