    The fact Bellew wanted Ward gives you a clue.

    I can see them taking the approach of 1 big fight + 3-4 'next gen' fights per card.

    I dunno i mean what ''30'' top guys are there? One's who aren't signed with Arum, Golden boy, etc... I mean sure he can poach a few off Haymon

    I think he stated in an interview that was one of his intentions putting prospects in shows on DAZN.

    Maybe, but Eddie has £5.7m budget per night. How much do people like Vargas, Broner, Thurman and Santa Cruz get to fight? 1m each?

    Eddie said they have the big budget to make a splash and grab people attention to streaming. So I reckon these cards could be stacked.

    I'm pretty sure it becomes irrelevant who guys are currently signed with when a huge deal like this comes along.

    For starters, Wilder would be stupid to not try and get involved with Hearn with a deal of this size.

    Hearn could make a real statement and throw big money at anyone.....Why not Lomachenko?

    Yep, and that's just £5.7 guaranteed from DAZN. Then you have gate receipts, other countries where DAZN is not broadcast, etc etc.

    Plus the shows are half and half in UK and the US.

    Frampton v Santa Cruz lll in Belfast?

    It makes fights so much easier to make....Which is great for fans.

    Its obvious in Hearns interviews with IFLTV he wants Wilder in his stable. Hes always paying complements about how marketable Wilder is and yet is earning peanuts.

    I think he'll sign some top quality boxers but i believe a lot will be ''prospect/rising stars'' and guys like Brezeale.

    He'll sign both, just like he has in the UK.

    He gets stick sometimes for the lack of depth on his Joshua cards.....but it's genius what he is doing.

    He signs up all the decent British Olympians, and puts them on Joshua's cards in the hope that one will turn out to be the next star.

    I can't see him signing guys like Breazeale long term. He will follow a similar pattern to what he is already doing.

    Look at his last Brooklyn card.

    Established fighter - Jacobs
    Unbeaten prospect - Miller
    'Next gen' prospect - Yeleussinov (Gold medal olympian)

    We need to remember as well that this isn’t going to be distributed equally. If it was equal it equates to nearly 8 million (dollars?) per event. The reality is what, 4 big events per year I believe he said. If he puts 2 million into each of the 12 other events per year, it gives him over 25 million for each of the other 4 bigger events that year. This is really going to stir things up.

    Problem with the welterweights is all the good ones are already on Showtime. So you would need to sign all or none.
