I like Jacobs but with no Saunders, Canelo or Golovkin he doesn't have many options. This whole Hearn thing might fail....

Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez fights Golovkin in May (I think he beats Golovkin clearly in the 2nd fight), and then likely fights Saunders in September (in a likely not eye-opening fight, I think Alvarez does good enough work that he gets the decision); whether Alvarez gets over his beef with the WBC is unclear.
The HBO deal was likely for only long enough until Jacobs could fight Alvarez and get beat.
Eddie Hearn/Al Haymon were able to get Jacobs a guaranteed 3 HBO dates, and Jacobs will get 3 dates; if the Saunders fight doesn't happen next, don't be shocked to see Martin Murray get the call for the April date. With one date remaining, the options for the fight become clearer (Alvarez, Golovkin, Andrade on the HBO side).
Anthony Joshua still fights for Matchroom Sport/Sky Sports and, outside of an utter washout on the Wilder fight, the UK is still humming.
Hearn still butters the bread in the UK, and that's not changing soon.
