"There's a fine line, and I've crossed it a couple of times, sort of with the integrity of the sport versus entertainment and delivering numbers."

Then there is this.i dont know if fine line is the way I would put it. Hearn has had youtubers headlining shows as the main even with title fights on the under. Yeah maybe people wanna see that but I was pretty sure celebrity death match was canceled years ago.

I'd prefer to watch to evenly matched yet unskilled YouTubers instead of watching ridiculous Mia mathes which harm the sport more and is more dangerous for the outmatched fighter.

I definitely don't want to see Tyson or Evander come back though, no matter how evenly matched they may be lol.

I'll say it right now.

DAZN would get a better return on their money from Mike Tyson than they have from Golovkin.

[thack]

Edward will have Tyson fight his dad if he could convince Adam Smith at sky it will get enough idiots to buy.Edward tries to come across as Mr. Nice and reasonable but has a illness for money.

“Hearn believes fighters like Tyson are motivated by boxing's current crop of stars - some of which are making tremendous paydays against less than stellar opposition.“

Yep, Hearn would be the person to talk to for overpaying fighters against poor opposition. Deadzone specializes in that arena. But “someone contacted me” isn’t the same as mike calling Hearn
