    Couple of reliable people posting that Hearn could land 2 people this week with a further 2 over the next 2 weeks. Who you think it could be?

    I think Stephen Smith and Callum Johnson this week. Maybe Pricey and Liam smith later on.

    I think Liam Walsh would be a big star under Eddie Hearne

    imagine if he got the 3 Smith Brothers and David Price he could have at least two massive shows in Liverpool a year with that.

    Was amazed Sky didn't up the number of shows to Matchroom if he's signing even more boxers.

    The problem with signing so many is that he feels the need to give them all risk-free fights at the start and it feels as if we're forever waiting for things to 'take off'.


    He needs to sign less fighters and concentrate on the ones he has and actually start making some competitive fights.

    Daley Ojuederie from big brother. Eddie's going to make him world champ. Hes going the old route British/European/world. The guy is hard as nails. Big brother throw him out because he was to strong and they didn't have the man power to calm him down if he kicked of.

    Good, it is needed. The quality of his cards must improve. The last card wasn't amazing in terms of fireworks but it had depth and competative match ups.

    I think Price and Stephen Smith is a good bet.

    Just because the number of shows has stayed the same doesn't mean the cash per show has stayed the same. Adam Smith was on TV saying about the need for stacked quality shows.

    Eddie says he will announce it Thursday with the Darren Barker/Felix Sturm press conference. Interestingly I've seen a few tweets saying Martin Murray's contract with Hatton only runs until Wednesday night this week. Anyone confirm?

    Hopefully that's true and Murray doesn't have to fight some nobody in Australia.

    I think it'll be Smith/Price, hope he gets Martin Murray though. What's Jamie McDonnell doing at the moment?
