    why is Hearn so much better at making great fights compared to Bob and Al

    he seems like he is much better at making great fights

    is it skill, or Matchroom just has a bigger stable than Top Rank and PBC?

    He's better at the actual "promoting"

    At least in the UK, in America he's still finding his feet.

    I belive the main reason is Hearn understands the internet age, he can get to the youth market quite effectively, whereas Gaymon and Arum can't.

    Gaymon isn't interested in making the best fights anyways, we all know his agenda

    Bob is just getting by on his reputation and vast wealth, he just throws money at fights, but look at Fury v Wilder 2, Arum spent a fortune promoting that, paying millions for superbowl commercials and the fight only broke even

    Then look at AJ v Ruiz 2, Hearn made the Saudis pay for the entire thing and matchroom turned an enormous profit.

    Hearns a very shrewd operator in the modern age, the only thing holding him back from total domination is the concerted effort of the American establishment to try and hold him off from taking over there, he's had Showtime, HBO, PBC, Arum, Haymon, all trying to stop it.

    Well the only one left on that list of any relevance is Arum and he's like 90 years old.

    I see Hearn taking over very soon.

          All these big fights your speaking of I think its because of the platform he's able to put these fighters on not solely because of himself he's jus got the connect with DAZN. The company is throwing $ around being new an all so alot of these fights are being made because of that, the Ramirez an Hooker fight with DAZN an hearn an the whole event being put on by them arum knew he couldn't pay all that so he let Ramirez go an do his thing. The whole Saudi thing well that was the whole country wanting to be part of a huge event since Ruiz with having a upset in the 1st fight that caught everyone's eyes so it went an caught the right people so DAZN hearn an everyone involved caught the luck of the Irish right there with all that $ with the event being held there

            Simply because many of his fighters are overrated , giving the illusion that they are fighting in 'great fights'

              I kno people on here talking about well DAZN jus came out guns blazing with $ handing out like candy. Now everyone wants to see how DAZN is able to keep up drying out there own pockets putting on these fights giving these guys above market paydays compared to before DAZN was in the mix. I think its good an bad for the sport that DAZN is here **** its helped make fights that probably wouldn't have been made or would've taken longer but the big carrot hanging in the companies face is making that GGGvsCanelo3 an sorta helping negotiations between Joshua an Fury or Wilder

                Fighters WANT to work with Eddie Hearn 'It was similar to the way soccer players, wanted to work for Jose Mourinho' Hearn is a fan of the sport and has a deep passion for it etc He has stated that he regards it the greatest sport in the world.

                But you have to give credit for promoters such as Frank Warren for surviving so long, and still being creative.

                  He's done well in the UK, in the US not so much. He has BJS, Smith, Jacobs, Andrade, GGG and hasn't put any of them vs each other. BJS just fought a random, Smith had a fight where it was clear Hearn paid off the judges, Jacobs had the corrupt Chavez fight, Andrade fought a random, Golovkin fought a good opponent but it was the only way to get a belt. Not saying he hasn't done some good work, but plenty of times his matchups have been weak considering the stable he has

                    Spence vs porter
                    Pacquiao vs Thurman

                    Were greater than anything hearn put on in 2019
