    No Showtime in the UK?

    Could careless to be honest because I'm not in the UK but NO I doubt Eddie "Ran Haymon From The UK Market"

    Haymon seems like a guy that is willing to wait things out to get what he wants. A International TV Deal is inevitable it could be BT Sports who knows but honestly really don't care

      Let us be honest...there is nothing of interest in UK boxing other than Anthony Joshua. Everyone else is basically domestic level fighters camouflaging as World level. So nothing of interest at the moment for Al Haymon. He will get in when he sees an opportunity.

          Haymon never really started in the UK. When he signed UK fighters, they mainly fought in the states. You had Frampton/Quigg in the UK, but the fight was done by Matchroom and Cyclone Promotions. Haymon or people in his team helped get that fight done, but it wasn't promoted by one of his guys (Dibella/Schaefer/TGB/etc).

          I don't think he will be able to get in the UK market. Or not any time soon. He would need to sign some top UK prospects and build them until they are ready to become headliners. No reason to branch out to the UK when he can continue doing what he is doing stateside.

          I can see BT Sports and SHO partnering up where they show each other's cards. But even then, ESPN+ would be interested in some of the international cards since they have 24 dates to fill. They paid for a Frank Warren card recently, but I can't recall which one it was.

            I see what your saying but didn't haymon try to get a tv deal with sky or ITV at one point with a guy named marc Watson?
            My problem with that is boxing in the UK is driven by the amount of people who show up to fights not the tv ratings

              Hearn's setup is fighters generally manage themselves. Haymon could try to take on MTK, wouldnt recommend it, lol. Schaefer tried to do his thing with Haye, think thats done now.
