    woud love it if hearn , ****** signed some top Russians and ukranians or whatever

    they don't think its right for the Uk market but believe me get an exciting fighter like Khytrov or Beterbiev over here and they will build a fanbase im sure of it

    I would love it too, but I think it's mainly as the UK public (casual fans) aren't especially interested in foreign fighters, unfortunately. They would only be interested in already quite established fighters for the most part, so deals would be difficult to complete.

    Some fighters have done business with UK promoters and came back to deal with them and gained respect and a reputation within the UK, mind.

    hearn did have Proksa but he chucked him in with GGG lol. I think a Polish fighter would probably sell here if they promoted him right cause there are a lot of Poles here.
