Eddie Hearn speaking that truth...love him or hate him, you literally can't deny what he is saying logically.
Cliffs:
Showtime has to put out the following fighters this year with only 2x shows booked until the end of the year...how is this going to happen?
-Davis, Broner, Charlo twins, Hurd, Spence, Garcia, Thurman
(makes sense..it will almost be impossible to get half of these fighters on Showtime this year...ontop of that, they won't even do a damn Showtime All Access for anyone these days!)
Top fighters need to be active in order to stay relevant - Keith Thurman has dropped off of a cliff, Charlos can't be satisfied with just doing GQ shoots for Magazines and IG, they need to fight in order to build their legacy
(Agree)
Alluded to Spence only fighting once last year, afraid it might happen again this year...can't build a true following or be the megastar you want to be with only one fight a year, there is no momentum.
(This might be the most talented era in boxing ever...yet some of these fighters are only going at it once a year..he's right, you can't build a following doing that or a true legacy)
DAZN is going to properly promote all of their cards with behind the scene footage and proper build ups to fights...
(I agree 100% Showtime is slacking with their All Access the last 2x years...no casual fan interest, no hype, no legacy for fighters. When was the last time Showtime did an All Access?? You're telling me they couldn't at least do one for Charlo/Trout or Hurd/Lara, or Garcia/Easter this year? This is the type of extra support and attention these fighters need to get to the next level of popularity. Without these type of build ups the fights lack that extra excitement and allure.
UFC has their behind the scenes Embedded for every main event and sometimes even the co-main events. Don't even get me started on HBO 24/7..it's non existent.)
At worst, Matchroom Boxing is going to hopefully make Showtime, HBO, ESPN step their game up with promo (at least you would hope so..for the fighters sake!). I don't know how anyone can hate on this..it's good for boxing.
I don't know about you..yet I want guys like Spence, Garcia, Crawford, Charlos, Hurd to be household names..and then coming up I want guys like Davis, Monster Inoue, Haney, Stevenson to be house hold names.
