    I've always give credit where credits due and don't lean a particular way depending who the promoter is unlike some.

    If Sky has won the rights to broadcast Usyk vs AJ II, surely Eddie Hearn has an interest in it not being a PPV success for Sky.

    Not if it's been taken over by a site fee, inclusive of TV rights, which is then split with the fighters. That seems to be the case here so the PPV is really none of his business and doesn't affect his upside.

    That being said, he won't be in the good graces of the Saudis any more if this promotion fails.
