    He would've definitely done better than what Hearn is doing right now all of his USA shows so far been hot garbage
    There isn't a lot of top talent floating around out there

      Golden Boy has... 12 dates a year? That's smart. Hearn is spread too thin with 16. He also needs to get smaller venues for his shows.

        Good self-reflection there.

        4k in 3 weeks in Kansas is more than decent too. Lots of folks here thought sales would tank.

          And besides, I think he thought it was going to be a bit easier cracking into the American market with the type of cash he had. He wasn't able to make to sign the guys he wanted to and the crowds for his shows haven't been good, dating back to the Jacobs HBO cards.
          Even in first class or private, all those flights across the atlantic on almost a weekly basis must take their toll on his body and mind.

            Without a question. That's just an insane workload he is dealing with. Being away from his family so many days a week has to be getting to him along with the US market in general. I'm sure he heard from everyone how difficult this market was, but he probably thought to himself he is the best in the game and everyone else was doing it wrong. It's still early and he is at least acknowledging the mistakes he is making. Let's see how this all plays out.

              On point. Beat me to it.

I think thats where some of this sh^tting on other peoples product while his isn't looking so great itself sh^t is coming from too. A burn out with all the sh^t he's doing these days seems like something that has a high likelihood of going down. This mfer is 30mos or less from a divorce probably too. He's gonna be hanging out with Kalle making weird ass faces & mouth movements soon enough if he don't slow down.
                here you have Hearn talking rela crazy cause he was tired as fCUK!

                    16 a year is an insane amount of dates with such a thin roster. Each of his Matchroom USA cards have been a disaster so far. What’s his next confirmed date?

                      Agreed. I like Eddie, but this is the 2nd time the crowds have been dead while watching the events.

                      First with the Andrade fight. Now this one.

                      Give the cash to Oscar and he'll sign all the Mexicans and upcoming talent.

                      Sell outs in Vegas, MSG, Barclays and Staples center.

                      Oscar is a great promoter. Its a shame PBC stole all of his fighters, but he's rebuilding.
