    Eddie Hearn is the future of boxing

    Get ready because this guy is gonna be running the show for a long, long time

    His rivals are all 85 years old and won't be around in 10 years

    He will continue to do good business with Oscar and Kalle Saurland.

    DAZN will become the new home of boxing.

    The Americanz chit the bed by allowing the UK to slowly take over, and now they let Hearn invade their homeland and as illegal immigrants have shown us, once you let them in you can't just throw them out so easily.

    Americanz only have themselves to blame. All the petty squabbling, network wars, promoters refusing to work with each other etc. And now Big D1k Master Hearn comes in and smacks his willy all over Arum's old evil face, Arum must feel like cattle right now, like a pig that has been ******ed by its shepherd.

    Plus, people have been tuning out of American boxing what with all the corruption and predictable judges and refs rigging fights "coincidentally" in the favour of the A-side every time.

    Celebrate 1776 as much as you want, soon the British will take back that twisted, mongrel USA

      I'm in the US and 9.95 a month live fights & some old classics too is the buy of a lifetime. Hearn is changing the game. 2 ppvs over here will cost at least $150.

        I doubt he'll be the main promoter in boxing. There's a reason boxing went downhill, and it's because of tactics like Hearn's.

          Actually boxing went downhill because of guys like Arum and Haymon

          In the UK Frank Warren lead it over a cliff

          Hearn and other young guys like Kalle Saurland have come in and are actually getting business done but you notice it's the old farts like Fish eyes and Shirley Winkle who are holding out for ridiculous sums of cash to sign off on fights.
          once those guys go and we have hearn-ODLH and saurland as like the main guys, **** will be way better

            Al Haymon is sitting on about $120m per year for the next 4 years (plus whatever is fronted for PPV by the networks), with the FOX number likely to continue to grow with Fox's backing, he's got most of the marketable US talent, and he's got the most potential superstar talent with him (Wilder, Spence, Mikey, potentially Mario Barrios, potentially Joey Spencer, and most of the marketable talent from the last two Olympics cycles).

            Eddie Hearn will be a UK feature for a long time (financing the amateurs and the link with Sky Sports will give them the pick of the top UK talent for the foreseeable future), but he's got Joshua, maybe Buatsi, and maybe Josh Kelly as possible world boxing stars in his camp, but there aren't many more than that.

            Joshua gets knocked off, and the lack of depth in top talent becomes painfully clear.

              Hearn's doing the same thing Arum and Haymon did. Look at how he's hiding Joshua. That tactic only worked with Haymon because Mayweather never lost. Joshua will end up losing, eventually, even if it's not to Wilder or Fury, and Hearn will look silly for having milked him for so long.

                Couldn’t agree more

                I mean look at all the classic fights he’s already put on the DAZn app in such a short span

                Andrade vs a BJS tune up
                Farmer vs 2 No Hopers
                Vargas vs Dulhorme the fight between 2 legends
                2 Big Baby fights against the best that the division has to offer

                These are the type of fights that not only will help grow DAZn into the #1 destination for boxing but also help grow the sport as a whole

                  I’d have a tendency to agree if almost all of the DAZN fights weren’t garbage. Hearn is making Haymons cards look good.
