    Another domestic dust up (Groves for Degale, Smith or Murray).

    Does Eddie ever make world class fights? He struggles to do so, IMO.

    No he struggles to make big international fights because it's not good for business

    Easy to sell domestic dust ups to the casuals make everyone feel like they hate each other and its a ppv. Actually making the big fight internationally isn't what hearn wants . 1. They have to pay more money for top opposition 2. His fighter has a higher chance of losing 3. Less of a rivalry to sell to the casuals

    I agree exactly the same reason he needs to get Khan to fight brook, can't get brook a good opponent.

    There no rivalry between the two anymore, IMO.

    Khan has been mega inactive, Kell has fought nobodies - Where's the sell?

    If Khan passes that fight up at his own accord or gets an offer from a top fighter, Kell is toast. He'd have to leave Eddie to face a name.

    The truth.

    We only get lucky with fights like Brook Khan and Quigg Frampton when both are domestic but also world class...

    ...but even they take ages to make!

    Ya I know mate.

    Eg hwarn isn't going to match bellew against someone world class unless he has too
    Callum smith will be kept well away from international fighters as there's a lot of talent at 168 in British

    Brook won't be fight any top names at 147

    Crolla isn't going to be fighting anyone foreign anytime soon.

    Selby isn't going to be allowed near lomachenko indefinetly

    If Hearn put up the cash, Brook could easily be in a big fight but he won't a due to cost, b due to he might lose, c he can make money put him against poor opposition

    Easier to sell brook v Khan than brook v Bradley, degale v groves than degale v jack, Callum smith v Murray than Callum smith v dirrell, not to mention the greater risk of his boy losing

    Its a cash thing for him with his fighters, business first, great if he pays the fighters higher wages and on time, but short changes the fans who want to see better fights.
    Im looking forward to Quigg v Frampton, an I would like to see Brook v Khan. Not matchroom v matchroom. Need more like this
    He does seem to look for easier options though, and despite saying hates his fighters against each other, lately he has tried to do it rather than explore other options

    Exactly

    His model is big Domestic fights nothing wrong with them but u need a mix of domestic then world. Kell should have had a massive fight by now yes he has had injuries that are not Matchroom fault but 2016 they need to deliver with a massive fight. If the Khan fight cant be made by February move on after a defence of the IBF. Take Kell to the US if u think Kell is the best ww in the world which they do [I do 2] back your man.

    Ricky Burns would be a great opponent for Anthony, at least he was a two weight world champ, people think he's on the way down so ideal fight for both
