    Eddie Hearn really doesn't understand the US market

    Nobody of note wants to fight Mikey. He doesn't have a title. He just got washed by Spence. Beating Mikey isn't as big of a deal as it was before the Spence fight. There are bigger names at 147.

    Maybe if Mikey plans on dropping down to 140. But who at 140 is trying to fight Mikey? Once again he doesn't have a title. Maybe Regis for the right amount of money. But if Regis plans on moving up to 147 why would he sign where there are no top name welterweights?

    Haney vs. Mikey at 140 would be the best fight and Haney is already signed.

    If Hearn thinks signing Mikey opens the floodgates he's more clueless than I originally thought.

      Yeah signing Mikey isn't going to make anybody else jump to DAZN to fight him.

        Disagree wholeheartedly. I think anybody tryna do anything substantial at 140 would/should wanna fight Mikey.

        Dazn low key will probably have all the belts if Josh Taylor fights Ramirez.

        Prograis
        Haney (moving up soon)
        Taylor

        All good names & the ability to draw other notable fighters to Dazn.

          Hearn doesn't understand the US Boxing market.

          But a guy who never worked a day in his life in the sport does.

            Yet you're the first to complain for your idols being lowballed when he makes offers higher than the going rate.

              Taylor (reportedly) & Haney are already with Hearn. Who are the guys that's going to jump? I said Prograis possibly. Ramirez is with Top Rank. All the Welterweights are with PBC and Crawford with Top Rank. Who are these available guys?

                    I never said other fighters would jump to DAZN to fight Mikey. Eddie Hearn said that so why the fucc you asking me that question???
                    I asked you who doesn't wanna fight Mikey cause that's what you said...
                    Don't answer my question with a question of your own.
                    So again which fighter/fighters have rejected a Mikey Garcia fight???
                    Are you posting from facts or speaking out your ass again???
