Comments Thread For: Six Fighters Agree To Join Eddie Hearn In DAZN Deal

building their own brand

PBC has been around for 3 years. I've seen lil brand building. In fact even as a PBC fan I think they've had more money & have done less brand building with so much money then anyone in boxing since I've been watching boxing. In fact a lot of the stuff they tried to do to build the PBC brand & specific fighters has been awful & poorly planned. That ****** ass classical music song being #1 probably.

PBC fighters expecting results is starting to become the definition of insanity. Time for more cats to jump ship with a real promoter. Whoever does is more likely to be better off. And worse case they'll be back in 2yrs if Hearn sh^ts the bed to be poorly promoted by PBC again.

Its exactly what I said. I said that I would ask for at least 8 mil a fight because I know that Hearn needs a big US name to get others to join. If I'm more than a fighter, but an advertisement as well, I would want a fee for both. You said that line of thinking was for "idiot fighters" who would "go broke".

You said you were going to ‘bleed’ Hearn because he needs your name to advertise.

And that’s exactly the idiocy that makes fighters go broke. Uneducated, and ignorant in relation to your own worth.

Broner is not worth 8million for 3 fights. The gas has left that balloon in 2013.

How the hell are you going to pay 8million for the Charlos (who I really like btw) when they can’t even headline their own shows?

Hearn knows the numbers. That’s what makes him a successful business man. He’s right now willing to pay them more than they’ll get anywhere else, but he’s not ****** enough to ‘bleed’ for these people.

So if he comes and offers a Charlo bro 500-750k a fight on a three fight deal with a possible upside, that’s a tremendous deal compares to what they get anywhere else. And therefore, they’re smart and there’s a real plan in place - which knowing Hearn I’m guessing there will be - they would be foolish not to take a good hard serious look at it.

Nationalistic bull crap and too high demands is exactly the thing that will keep them down, not bring them up.

I thought hiring hans Zimmer to compose a theme for pbc wasn't that bad of an idea, but the song itself didn't fit at all.

The walk in with no announcer, music and entourage was the worse offender. pretty awkward lol.

I'm listening to what they are saying. And one of the things one of them said is show me the money or more to the point MORE money. And Hearn gots the money. And the Charlo's have been neglected & misused by the PBC as I see it.

And they got some vague words about "Lions Only Promotions" which is gonna be more work then they realize or a in name only promotion thats piggybacked onto the real promoter & getting people on their team who'll get the f#cking job done. And Hearn is a guy who'd get the f#cking job done.

Lol nah. I’m on the road, but when I get off, I’ll send you some links. They are pretty clear as to what they’re going to do.

A real promoter does what exactly?

Things PBC fighters haven't had done for them for years.

Why they ain't do it already if they got these clear plans? These dudes have been pros for a decade ffs. I think people forget that about the Charlo's sometimes.

I think you raise an interesting point. Now can you specifically say what a real promoter would do that hasn’t been done?

Oscar De La Hoya didn’t have GBP until he was a multi-division champ. Mayweather Promotions took how long?

But that’s not the point. The point is, this is what they’re doing now whether they should have done it before or whenever.

For one talk about the Charlo's every chance they got on all forms of media. Hearn does more media than any four promoters. Dude loves the sound of his own voice in a way that would make Don King blush. If your name is on a promoters tongue there is gonna be a benefit in that.

They also are put into bouts that move their narrative forward in places that they have or can garner fans. PBC pulls an opponent out of their ass for non-main event guys 2-3 weeks before the fight 80% of the time probably. And they've gotten better with throwing people in relevant venues, but they still miss their shot with that often enough
