    Promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom is looking put together a massive stable in the United States - with the recently announced venture with Perform Group.

    Hearn announced an eight year deal with Perform Group - worth a reported $1 billion - as the British promoter will stage 16 exclusive events per year in the United States for DAZN, which is Perform Group's streaming service.

    According to numerous sources, only two of those years are actually guaranteed in that eight year pact.

    So far, Thurman, Fonfara and Chavez Jr are likely.

    Thurman would be a heck of a grab by Hearn.

    Schaefer's all like, "Don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry".

    Mikey Garcia said he had a face to face meeting with Hearn who made an "aggressive" offer to sign him and will seriously consider it after his next fight.

    If Hearn signs Garcia and Thurman, it would be a big statement of intent. Interesting times.

    Who knows who he and the group have contacted, so far most the names ive heard are from other sources where as Hearn is doing his bit behind closed doors. This is such a big deal i hope there is alot more going on than we are yet hearing about. He certainly needs a fair few to fill the roster he has been setting out.

    Did Espinoza confirm that Broner is currently making the same amount that Eddie offered?

    He has only headlined one big show and that was because Chavez Jr was his opponent.

    Well, we are not talking about Fonfara big some big time player here.
    But fact is that Fonfara used to sell a lot of tickets in Chicago. Might be that Hearn wants him for that reason only. Hearn talks a lot about selling tickets.
    Or maybe it's because he thinks Fonfara still has some name value.
