When people say the Charlo's and others should sign with Hearn

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

It's not gonna be a big hurdle because Zurdo and Bob aint making anywhere near the type of money the'll make with Canelo and Bob aint putting Zurdo in with nobody else. He's fighting Hart again ffs. He's cashing him out with Canelo.

You're saying if Jacobs is promoted right but what changes from now until May? If he sticks wit Hearn he'll be fighting on DAZN with less viewers than ESPN plus and HBO.

That hart fight was good enough for a rematch, I doubt he's cashing Zurdo out.

And Promote jacob do the media rounds, espn deportes etc etc. it aint that hard to hype up a fight.

Huge hurdle ... There will be more money at DAZN I'm assuming.

were assuming but we havent really seen or heard what a paycheck is like for a dazn OPPONENT. Mind you most oppenents only get 2-4 million (mayweather, pacquaio opponents we talking about too)

I don't know the relevance of this ****** Jacobs is also with Haymon crap.
As if fights that involve Haymon fighters easily get made.

Jacobs is still with Haymon..you make no sense

Jacobs is with Haymon also. The fight was being discussed before he ran to HBO to fight c level fighters. Look at the garbage Hearn is putting out look at khan and Brook last opponents it’s obvious who’s being protected. And Andrade pulled out of the Charlo fight and turned down 500k. They are scared

So you made my point.
Jacobs was with Showtime before he went to HBO.
Did the Charlo vs Jacobs negotiation even made it to first base?
Exactly.
Just admit Haymon is a cancer in this sport.
I don't think he's even a fan.
This sport is better off without him.

Something Boxing Media wouldn't dare ask...well probably Nes from Tha Boxing Voice would ask Eddie about that but the rest just suck up to him hoping to get jobs on DAZN I guess

AWFUL career move by Jacobs but he made a lot of money from HBO at least but No Eddie haven't delivered on his promise of "Making Jacobs A Bigger Star" in fact I would say Jacobs Star has become DIMMER since going to Hearn. With Top Rank, PBC and GBP based here in the US why the HELL would an American Fighter sign with a British Promoter who is new here in the US and still trying to figure out this market himself. Haven't even made AJ a star here yet!

That's never going to happen, American's will not support a British HW champion enmasse, Lennox Lewis was only a star over there when his opponent was American, and even then they called him boring.

(and before anyone mentions Conor McGregor cracking America, he's not British)

Everybody must sign with Hearn, Eddie is saving Murica

[A.K]

MCC like a old man groupie it’s wierd can’t support this niqga

[Steven Mccowan]

Gonna get Canelo fight if he wins tonight. HBO was a downer really. Not like more ppl know charlo than jacobs lol. Jacobs has more upside.

[Bardamu]

It doesn't really matter now. Charlo is the best middleweight out there. And styles make fights. Jermall is 3 or 4 inches taller than Canelo, 3 or 4 inch reach advantage, is good at "boxing"/countering, can use his jab to keep distance, and has real one punch ko power. In other words, if someone was making a fighter to beat Canelo, that fighter would look a lot like Jermall Charlo.

With Canelo refusing to fight him and g doing the same, no one will fight him. If Jacobs wins tonight, does anyone really think Jacobs will still want to fight Charlo? Or will Jacobs fight bums until Canelo fights him? Does anyone believe Andrade would ever agree to fight Charlo?

Jermall refused to face Jacobs, because Jermall was/is Canelo's mandatory and was/is waiting for that fight. But Canelo will vacate his mw 160 belt, and then Andrade and Jacobs will wait and not fight anyone dangerous until Canelo fights them. Which Canelo will do, because both Andrade and Jacobs are very good fighters, but they are both a step below Canelo and Charlo.

[R_Walken]

It made sense for Jacobs to sign at the time with someone affiliated with HBO because there was a real possibility of him getting a Golovkin rematch or a Canelo fight and MW was the only division HBO had some leverage in but because of the BS decision in the first fight and Canelo popping hot which delayed a rematch those potential fights never became a realistic possibility

But Hearn hasn’t done a good job with Jacobs and his profile has probably decreased with Matchroom

Right Now Hearn isn’t concerned with promoting his American fighters , He’s concerned with promoting himself ( I mean you rarely see them in interviews or getting media coverage and with all the interviews Hearn gives he barely talks about his fighters )

Hearns trying to be a boxing version of Dana White /Puff Daddy where He is the brand and the fighters / rappers are secondary and interchangeable. Will this strategy work , I don’t know but I’d guess probably not , But if it does he’s laughing because he won’t need to rely on any one fighter to be successful he can throw anyone in there and the public will support and if one crosses over great even better.

If I was a fighter with any notoriety or options I’d be wary of aligning myself with Hearn because his main objective is building his own profile not theirs and it’s clear from the interviews he gives he doesn’t even respect them and views all black American fighters as just a bunch of dumb ****** n.iggers

Daniel jacobs' following and profile hasnt increased ?

Instagram followers at the time of GGG fight - 51k
followers at time of signing with Matchroom - 78 k
current followers on instagram - 126k

Twitter followers have also increased by nearly 70 % since signing with Hearn.

so if his profile hasnt increased, why has it increased on social media?

If his stock was so high after the GGG fight, how come in the 6 months between that fight and him signing with matchroom did his follower count increase by only 27k yet has now increased by nearly 50k since signing with matchroom ?


As for tens of thousand at the barclays? he didnt even fight in front of 10k, the crowd was 8442 against quillin.

The GGG fight drew 19,901.. but none of that was because of GGG right? lol.

Jacobs fight vs Quillin averaged 385k on showtime... his fight against Arias in his first fight under matchroom was watched by 706,000 average on HBO.

The jacobs / sulecki fight averaged 811,000 on HBO.
It did just under 8000 live gate attendance, a week after Broner, charlo and Gervonta were on the card.

Your agenda is clear.

But Hearns done nothing for jacobs' profile.

That's never going to happen, American's will not support a British HW champion enmasse, Lennox Lewis was only a star over there when his opponent was American, and even then they called him boring.

You must be too young to remember Prince Naseem Hamed.

American's will support anyone from anywhere, it all depends on the person. It is harder for a non-American to be popular, but a fan-friendly style and a charismatic personality will win U.S. fans over.

And as for McGregor not being British, that is correct. However, if you think Americans realize that Ireland isn't part of Great Britain, you do not know ***** about Americans. In fact, if you tell us Americans that Ireland isn't part of Great Britain, most will tell you it is, just to piss you off.
