Comments Thread For: Hearn: Calling Haney, Garcia, Lopez, Davis 'Four Kings' Is Adventurous

Do instagram followers really equal buys and tickets etc because I dont see that they do.

Have you not seen Ryan’s crowds last and before the pandemic????

Ryan easily is more popular than all those guys EASILY!!!!!!

Don’t let Floyd and pbc fake news agenda fool you.

Ryan is the most popular and known out of the group and Teo is the most proven and best right now.

You cannot even come close to crowning these 4 kids as the 4 kings. The 4 kings fought each other, multiple times and took on ALL top fighters in and around their divisions. At this point, only 1 (Lopez) has dared to be great, BUT, he still has a ways to go. I'd call him the prince of the 4, as the other 3, at this point paupers, are yet to step up their game (opponents).

LOL i mean some people go on and on about other fighters hype and to call these guys 4 kings, i mean WTF

Did they all have separate networks and apps, promoters, and specifically a promoter than tries to have options and wordage in contracts that tie on any pbc fighter to his app?
Boxing back then was simple, boxing today is basically divided into 3 different camps or leagues almost. No boxer with a name should ever sign with one promoter, manager/advisor sure, but should never be limited to one network or app. There’s three major networks for boxing in the USA and two apps...big name boxers should be able to fight on any one of them

And therein lies the real reason why the real fights, the fights people want to see, don't get made. Most of the time it isn't the fighters. It's the promoters wanting options, network exclusivity, etc. The business of the business hahaha.

Most of them aren't even boxing fans. The are personality fans. Not a good measure of sales. And none know Garcia or Lopez worldwide. Big stretch.

While none of them are anywhere near as Legendary as Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales, Juan Manuel Marquez, those 3 were the Mexican Trifecta of the featherweights in late 90s, early 2000s. Then you throw in the wrench of Pacquiao, and you had the 4 kings at that time. Anyone of them could fight each other and it made for a great fight. It's a shame Erik never fought Morales though...

Yeah, regrettably, Erik's and Morales' promoters never could work out terms to make that fight happen.

On another note, I would have loved to have seen Erik or Morales fight JMM.

"Hearn doesn’t think a fight will be feasible between Garcia and Davis because of their promotional and broadcast affiliations."

Funny, when Hearn is talking about AJ vs. Wilder, or Charlo vs. Andrade, there are no broadcast nor promotional issues! However, when it's Davis vs. Garcia, he doesn't see that happening! I do however agree with him, make the fight that can happen! Haney vs. Garcia!

The problem is that Hearn is scared to put his fighters in there with real champions he has lost a lot of stock and he has no top champions in his stable remember PBC contains the most top champions or belt holders out of any network plus they should make Garcia vs Davis because I believe that Tank knocks Garcia out in 4 but if they can not make that fight I would make Haney vs Garcia while Lopez fights Kambosos next and let Tank fight GRJ if these fights can not be made
