Does Hearn need to start stepping up his fighters?

Rios would be more for exposure in the US really, unlike Khan there's actually a legit argument for kell in this

 

So you can't see the irony then?

 

I think they are as bad as each other but Frank is more defensive which makes him less likeable in my opinion. He is far better in writing with his column a decent read nowadays.

It's a real shame that Hennessey or Cyclone don't have a bit more stroke in this country, Mick has a decent platform but barely uses it and Barry is just starting out on ITV.

I do feel that the new Matchroom/Sky contract has a mininum PPV stipulation hence the Bellew/Cleverly debacle last year. He seems to have to put on two PPVs a year now, regardless of quality.

 

Have you not forgetten cards like the magnificent seven being on PPV??? Or the groves degale fight being PPV and that near enough killed it with the embarrassingly low buys???

 

No, kell needs more us exposure which a rios fight would provide,n Khan needs a proper test which he is dodging, since garcia hasnt faced anyone with a knockout ratio >50%

 

it's a trait of boxing world wide

It's all about maximum dollars with minimum risk

Look at floyd and pac. Floyd has made what another 50 million plus than if he took the pac fight 5 years ago

 

Groves degale was a british title fight ffs, at least Bellew clev was fringe world with an ex world champ and a two time challenger

 

Homer Simpson vs Tatum wasnt as big a mismatch as Gavern Joshua

 

Simpson vs. Tatum is a brilliant parody of the Tyson/McNeely fight.

 

It's all well and good saying you want Eddie to step things up, fact is he is building certain fighters in a proper sensible manner. Matchroom know what they are doing. And the beauty of it is, they have the full backing of Sky Sports to do it properly, take the right steps. Other promoters dont have that at their disposal, and then their fighters are rushed, and theres no longevity. Eddie builds careers, not quick buck fights.
