    Danniel Jacobs said the opposite. Hearn is trying to save face.

      Do you believe Dan Rafael or Daniel Jacobs himself:

        Boxing can never be a major sport again until the biggest fights are on CBS/FOX/etc instead of PPV. The Super Bowl isn't on PPV...
        Good point. if that's the goal and haymon keeps developing stars the way he does I think its very possible that boxing becomes more mainstream in the future. but hell need more than just fights on FOX and the occasional CBS if boxing is going to become mainstream again. cheers mate.

          it's a process. going to take a long time. but if you look at what haymon has done in the PBC era, he's focused on building dozens of stars instead of just one or two. HBO is focused on building PPV attractions, which leaves the rest of the schedule bare. PBC essentially ignores PPV, choosing to spread the wealth instead.

          Deontay Wilder, Keith Thurman, Mikey Garcia, Robert Easter, Errol Spence, Jermall Charlo, Jermell Charlo, Badou Jack, Gervonta Davis, Jarrett Hurd, Gary Russell, David Benavidez, Shawn Porter, etc are all way more well known now than they were before PBC launched.

          Haymon's not at that point yet where he can drop all the belts are start his own league, but I'd say he's about half way there.

            In this case I believe Hearn and Rafael. Hearn is now running the show for both Khan and Jacobs. Even Watson and his boys didn't come out for Jacobs last fight.

            Back to Hearn, he is a great PR machine and it works in the UK. But in the states it's not going to fly the same way. If you put on trash or mediocre, you will be called out and the audience won't come to support. You will be having your guys fight in half empty arenas. In the UK a guy like Warrington could fight a complete bum and it will be a sellout.

              Yeah however I think its a merky situation but if danniel Jacobs says hes still part of the team even if hes not hes only a phone call away.

                Yeah however those guys were developed on multiple networks early one that's how come they all were able to get attention. I am a firm believer that PBC will get a FOX deal this year however if FOX, cbs, and bounce are the only networks that bite than Haymon Will have to slow down his star creation factory.

                      Jacobs is still working with Haymon and I know this for a fact. Dan Rafael is not an authority on adviser contracts.

                      Here's what Jacobs had to say about his relationship with Al Haymon. I will just assume you pulled that Eddie Hearn quote straight out of your @ss, which is incredibly g@y if you ask me:

                      This past Saturday night, former middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (32-2, 29 KOs) officially revealed that he signed a multi-fight promotional agreement with
