    Eddie ain't bothered all he's interested in is peddling shite like Fisher vs Allen on Saudi cards.

    All major UK Promoters have their focus on the Saudi money. Unfortunately.

    Agree mate unfortunately they are taking most fights there now we will end up with next to nothing Fisher vs Allen amd most of the fights on the Fury Usyk undercard are Sky/TNT Saturday night fodder not the mega fights and cards they started off with.

    It's not as bad as your making out. Check out Ben Shalom's stable if you wanna see a terrible stable

    I think a 5 v 5 for matchroom and Big Ben would be competitive.

    Shalom started from scratch 3 years ago, Hearn has been going 15 years and spunked a billion quid of DAZN’s money away.

    Your point being? Haymon has done the same as Hearn. I don't see Eddie staying when AJ retires.

    Is there a Nicolson-Earn coming through the ranks to take over the empire?

    The most incredible thing is that we have to hear Eddie Hearn say that Eubank Jr is only in boxing for the money.

    If there's anyone who's only in boxing for the money, it's Eddie Hearn.

    What's Ramtin Musah like? GB fighter that's apparently just signed to Matchroom?

    It could be that Eddie Hearn / Matchroom will have more time to focus on the UK in the future ?

    The co operation with His Excellency doesn´t seem to be going particularly well...

    Seems to me that Saudi don't really care who takes part as long as the boxing is decent. But at the same time, it feels like they trust Warren to handle the 'boxing' side of things, especially given nearly all the cards have been under the BBBoC. If you were putting that together would you want Hearn, who has ridden roughshod over the Board with the whole Conor Benn saga, be the lead promoter? Not likely.

    Saudis want clicks and views. Hearn brings that in masses. The only other promoter to be at his level is De La Hoya. They dwarf the rest in terms of followers on the social platforms. Like it or not but that's what it's all about these days
