Gotta give credit to Eddie - he appears to really have the right instinct and attitude for the sport - always coming up with ways to promote the sport and produce the best fight cards he can with what he's got.

What are the other promoters doing? eh...

The thing is, a who;e generation of top fighters are living on borrowed time - many of them are in the twilight of their prime (mid to late '30s) such as Wilder, Povetkin, Joyce, Pulev, Usyk in HW, @ LHW Beterbiev, Gvozdyk, Pascal, Kovalev, Jack, are getting on but this division is well balanced, MW has thinned out from five years ago when it was stacked solid with talent, now Golovkin is approaching 40, Andrade, Derevyanchenko are in their latter prime, Charlo will never fight anyone, though Munguia entering the division is positive.

@ WW, lots of big names but too much political division. Fans just want to see Crawford land a major fight sometime soon, as he's just languishing there. Spence is top dog, Pac won't last, Porter, Thurman, and Garcia all need to regain some kudos.
Great fights to be made here but as usual uncle, Haymon would rather treat his fighters like safe, long term, low-risk investments that he can cash in on when there at their highest value - but that's presuming there is any logic to what Al and PBC are actually good for?

LW has the king Loma, Lopez, Commey, Davis, Campbell, but where to for Loma after Lopez? the Campbell fight exposed the dangers of moving up in weight to quickly - I don't know if Loma could move up to junior welter. I think he's best at either 126 or 130. He's 32 and got 4 years of gas left in him - can he fill the boots laid out for him in gold in that time?

I don't take much notice of the guys in the lighter weight classes except for the inimitable 'Monster' Inouye.

Excellent update article.

I like the beautiful concept and unique atmosphere, look safe and destined to do fights in this pandemic. Cute view too.

Nice one Eddie, we need the razzamataz back, even if it's in your back garden.

It will be interesting to see how this shapes up , if at all. Don't forget Hearn is doing this not for the love of boxing and will still want paying. Whyte v Povetkin should never be ppv when fans have a Sky platform paid fee to watch fights .Joshua will not get £50m for fighting on the lawn and Hearn should look at putting decent scraps on the normal sky and free to view and trying the build this way but knowing Hearn it will be smash and grab in no time.....but good luck.

Don't you mean every promoters fighters? i.e Golden Boys Canelo, PBC's Luis Ortiz, Top Ranks Tyson Fury, etc. Not just a single promoter.

This is unique, I'll give Hearn that.

Let's see how it pans out.
