Comments Thread For: Arum: Hearn Doesn't Know D*ck About Promoting In The U.S.

I think Arum is just threatened tbh. Hearn's Philadelphia show with Tevin Farmer did much better in ticket sales than Arum's Philadelphia show with that garbage Gvodzyk fight. Joshua vs Miller is outselling Crawford-Khan at the gate as well. Crawford-Khan will almost certainly flop on PPV and I can't imagine that ESPN is thrilled about that garbage Fury vs Schwarz matchup either.Comment

I'm not impressed. He looks slow and his defense needs a lot of work. Of course he's still young so he might improve a lot idk.Comment

I mean obviously he's raw as he just barely turned 19 years old. But slow? Don't see that at all. Has good enough speed to my eyes.
To me his biggest issue right now is he loads up on his shots too much. Sure he has good pop, but he needs to fix that going forward.Comment

I just think PBC has plenty of better prospects than Spencer.Comment

Hearn said in an interview a few weeks ago that he is a share holder in DAZN. He had never previously said it in public though.
That's why he was at all the meetings regarding GGG signing for DAZN, despite GGG not having anything to do with Hearn as a promoter..Comment

I doubt this very much. DAZN gave him the green light for Matchroom Italy and Matchroom Germany will probably start soon enough. Those are both territories where DAZN is investing heavily. I doubt they would do that if they were unhappy with him.Comment

You're right , going on mainstream television would've been great , but they're on an app now and they gotta do what they gotta do. They have some big & powerful pieces to work with.The problem is that going to an app only isn’t good for the sport, it further marginalises it from the mainstream when the object should be to push it back to the mainstream. What major sport in the USA is app only? Baseball? Football? Basketball? College hoops? College football? Tennis? NASCAR? NHL? Ufc (Mma)?Comment

AJ v Miller has about 16k sales so far and it is clear it will be a sell out. If Hearn is that bad a promoter, then are Bob and Al going to do better with Fury and Wilder's next fights? Hardly likely.
Also, Hearn has just got $$$ for Khan and ****** $$$ for Crolla off Bob; far more than DAZN would have paid. Bob salty?Comment
