After AJ gets stomped, Hearn is out of cards to play. His stable is áss cheeks and his ability is garbage.
Mark my words.
Disagree very strongly. Hearn is a brilliant promoter. Has a great TV deal with Sky. Has DAZN. He's the #1 promoter in the UK and the UK has become the most reliable market for boxing.
Hearn has handled AJ perfectly and that's not going to change.
Even if DAZN flops, which is a big if, Hearn's Sky deal will keep him a major player for a very long time.
I hope not. Although i think he lies through his teeth (like all promoters) he's doing a great deal out there in the UK for boxing. It still remains to be seen if he can make it work over in the US but if he brings good fights our way then i'm all for it. If the throws a bunch of garbage on DAZN then I just won't pay for it, it's simple
But I’ve been thinking recently that Hearns backed himself into a corner as far as the US market
If DAZn is a success it won’t even matter but It looks like he’s stepped on toes at Showtime leading them along with AJ with the understanding of a AJ / Wilder fight on the network only to have AJ appear to be heading to DAZN l. He’s probably burned bridges at HBO dangling AJ to them and having Jacobs go there and them paying the rights fees for multiple of his sh.it Matchroom cards again with every indication that it’ll all be going to DAZN
Espn locked up by Top Rank
What other platforms are left if DAZn fails in 2-3 years and those platforms aren’t willing to do business with him
His stable isn’t even that great for the UK especially in a couple years time
Bellew has a couple fights left , Khan & Brook are only relevant untill they fight each other and the loser will be irrelevant. Whyte is whatever and the only blue chip prospects I see are Taylor and Burnett and let’s see how they do in the WBSS and that Kazak kid
His success in the future really depends on if AJ can still bring the $ in and if DAZNs a success or not if they falter he’s probably f.ucked

Exactly. His lying is nothing out of the ordinary. He's just doing what Don King and Bob Arum always did. Hearn is great for the sport and is going to be around for a long time.

Bro no one knows what DAZN is.. even the causal UK boxing fan
I think he's showing a lot of hubris right now, in particular I don't see the DAZN deal as being a success, I doubt that he'll be able to coax the calibre of fighters he'd need to make it successful away from their promoters and favoured TV networks. Pride comes before a fall, although I'm not sure how far he'll fall.
