    What other promotional company do you think would have done better for him?

    In what way? Curious to know as Hearn actually bid a solid amount on that purse bid

    And the length of time he took to get a title shot isn't unusual really
    Dalton never offered anything to a foreign champion to come over here to the UK

    He had to work his way in to the mandatory position and we all know how long winded they can be at times

    Dont get me wrong, Hearn probably could have done more, but saw his talent far outweighed his charisma and being from a accountancy back ground wasn't going to over spend

    The clips doing the rounds of him winning on on various media outlets should hopefully introduce him to a new market and at little cost

    I think generally Queensbury do better with British fighters, Matchroom is more of a stateside outfit now , specially after AJ basically retired after his DD loss.

    Wasn't Eddie not even there 2 fights ago when Dalton fought in Sheffield, and I remember Dalton seemed a bit pissed off ..

    Anyway he has the world title now, Eddie should get him on a big show on DAZN .. a ring promotion..

    Yeah Hearn was at a Pacheco fight in America. Made sure he was front and centre of all celebrations at the weekend though, jumping in front of Grant Smith and doing speeches in Times Square etc. Absolute narcissist.

    Not really an answer mate

    Warren was on his arse before the influx of money from Turki
    He was building something for sure but it wasn't that long ago he publicly pleaded with Matchroom to cross promote

    Definitely role reversal now admittedly
