Comments Thread For: Hearn Predicts: Flagship US Fighters Will Come To Matchroom

[bballchump11]

Now that HBO is reducing their boxing budget little by little, he should try to sign some of their fighters.

Additionally, there are fringe contenders like Curtis Stevens who are free agents, or he could sign few light weight Japanese champions, for the sake of having more world titles in his stable.

That honestly should be his goal. Get Kovalev on there and Bivol. He already has Beterbiev on his stable as a potential opponent.

Exactly. He could add some names even they haven't much left (Kovalev) or world champs who are not big stars like Bivol. Additionally, he could try to make fights with Joe Smith JR or Sullivan Barrera? I guess Munguia is with GBP so it will be more difficult to get him, and Miguel Bertchelt - Roman's rights were bought by ESPN.

Yeah, its a good start if he signs Pacquiao, Usyk, Bivol, gets the Kovalev/Alvarez fight on DAZN and signs the winner. With Jacobs on his way, he'll have main event fights to build cards around, Middleweight and light-heavy unifications, try and throw a ton of cash at Ward for one last fight. Think the PBC shops shut now.

Deontay Wilder fans about to come in here and wish for Hearn's failure in 3...2....1...

If I'm a PBC fighter, I have to ask myself would I want to get paid the same or maybe a little bit more to be on an app that nobody in the US has ever heard of.

or fight on FOX and Showtime where the biggest numbers of eyeballs will be on me for maybe a little less money.


Only the B list guys will go to DAZN, but even guys like Jessie Vargas might change his mind when he realizes he can't get any fights vs Spence, Thurman, Garcia or Porter.

This is the most logical argument out there. The fact that DAZN is only going to be seen by hardcore boxing fans. Of which there isn't a lot of us left.

Hearn out there like "come to death row east" rofl

[Vae Victis]

It's the 21st century, and he's got money, so Hearn should either see a dentist for some serious work or avoid opening his mouth for photographers. It looks as if he's spent his formative years teething on a ball-peen hammer.

Such a weird fallacy.

[LacedUp]

PBC is still growing, MatchRoom is still in it's infancy, but on the low, Top Rank is doing their thing! Shakur Stevenson, Teofimo Lopez, and Robson Conceicao, are going to be stars!

Matchroom has existed 50 times longer than PBC and is an infinitely more profitable business since PBC isn't profitable and MR are making multi-million dollar profits every year.

PBC fighters fight once a year, DAZN offers the same money 3x a year.

So it's 3x the money, not the same money.
