You see that press conference yesterday? Going on about being lifelong family friends, "I remember when you were coming home from school" type of ****, lol. Complete turnaround.
yeah Eddie was more humble at this press conference for sure I noticed that as well which is smart
Last thing Brook said was he doesn't need any more tune ups. If Khan/Pacquiao goes down he'll look to Hearn to deliver one of the 154 champs, or he could **** off to Warren.
With this Farmer signing, think the big prize hes after is Berchelt. Understand theres a bidding war going on between PBC, Hearn and Arum for Berchelt/Roman. Adds a bit to his cause if he can say hes got a unification for him straight after.
The 154 champs right now are Charlo/Hurd/Mungia. Doubt he's getting Mungia as he is fighting in September. But Charlo? Definitely possible since he needs a fight with Hurd wanting a tune up after his operation. I still have my doubts of that happening though.
Brook likely takes on another tune up type of fight and waits for next for the Khan fight. But if he loses to Pacquiao? Then that's a big blow to Brook unless he can get the Pacquiao fight in 2019.
If Hearn gets Berchelt, then Davis likely will have to fight on DAZN to fight either of those two. Hearn's offer to co-promote Davis was turned down but he will run out of options. I guess Machado? Or maybe GRJ moves up after the LSC fight?

Thought Mares was going ahead, but from then on not so sure.
The problem with Eddie pissing off people is he could have got a Brook fight against Charlo or Hurd on DAZN. From what Espinoza is saying, hes got Garcia/Porter, then a gap to Wilder/Fury Nov 17th. Is there enough time to get Charlo/Hurd/Spence/Garcia etc another fight before the end of the year. Stevenson/Gvozdyk takes up one of those weekends. He may have got Charlo for one fight, if he didn't do things the way he done them

Well, he will have the Stevenson/Gvozdyk fight on November 3 or 10, depending on when Wilder/Fury takes place.
But I see SHO putting on four more cards the rest of the year minus the PPV. Espinoza said he doesn't want any cards in October, but I think they may sneak one in late October or go heavy in December. The Barclays on December 8 from what I'm hearing will have a card and that's probably a PBC card.
Hurd will want a tune up, Thurman may get on the UC of Spence/Garcia if that happens this year or on Wilder/Fury. Then they can still do a Charlo brothers Houston card in December.
Davis vs Mares probably happens, but after that? This is why Al is after Berchelt so bad. He also is after Bivol but that doesn't look to be happening.
Anyways, this is why the PBC needs to get the FOX deal locked up as that will open up six more dates for their fights. Then they will have 21-24 solid license fee cards for the year plus PPVs for guys like Wilder. Or else you can't keep everyone active or happy. This is why eventually Hearn will pry away a good PBC name. But that may take some time as DAZN is a unproven concept at the current moment.
