    Not unless Hearn puts up some serious money. Brook needs to start demanding his promoter gets him a serious fight.

    On latest ifl TV interview hearn saying they contacted top rank and want the winner from pac and Bradley.

    Pacquiao is the only fight that could sell out Wembley. Bradley is more of a brammal lane fight. Hearn also said he may not do a Wembley fight.

    Again though Eddie is gonna need to put up serious cash.

    Thinking about sky PPV fights. We have quigg vs frampton, possible canelo vs khan, Anthony Joshua vs TBA, fury vs klit and brook vs TBA (big name or no PPV).

    This is all before the end of summer. That looks very PPV lopsided to me.

    Yeah didn't realise the pacquiao date. Eddie won't run Wembley this year as AJ can't sell that out, he is popular but not that level yet.

    Going on what Adam Smith said on sky sports news think it is nailed on ppv.

    dont think Eddie will have a say in the matter. Just hope Kell gets a big fight this year even it m3ans going USA

    Hearn has a lot less power than he lets on. If Sky's higher ups want a fight they probably do the deal and then tell Hearn.

    I mean why is Adam Smith still employed by Sky otherwise?

    The way Eddie mentioned the new deal he made with sky, he has to pass off any non matchroom promotion and its a legally binding

    Nah it won't be. This will be PPV through matchroom.

    It's a good relationship.

    I thought Eddie only had an exclusive on Sky but not on Sky PPV-I am certain of this.GBP and Khan can by pass Eddie on this and go directly to Sky PPV and make their own deal without Matchroom involvement.
