Without even watching we can provide subtitles for this......

Seriously though, why is this egfvent even being discussed on a serious boxing forum?

He wants world championship bouts on the undercard....how many proper world champions will be raising their hand shouting "me me me" to play second fiddle to some YouTube stars infront of 20k kids?

In terms of exposure, BJS bloody needs it. New fans. etc.

Of course they can’t compete with seasoned pros but take it for what it’s worth and we got an interesting spectacle on our hands here. I can’t wait!

Okay, I did. My findings are:

He's enamored by numbers and popularity of these guys.....with that he has masked his giddiness of potential money that can be made with caring so much for the sport that this event will in fact create new boxing fans.

Maybe some folk who have never really watched boxing before will become fans off the back of this. A very small percentage I would imagine. But more fans means more potential earnings for Eddie and his fighters.

Getting them pro licenses and all that is a token gesture. I doubt they are going to become professionals fighting actual pro's after this event. So I don't see much point in that part of it. It will still attract the same viewership if they fight in a pro setting or not.

tl;dr - try as he might to be really interested, this is nothing more than Eddie seeing money making opportunities.

Wow... what's really crazy is that people know who these guys are and are willing to pay to watch this.

It is what it is. I thought Hearn was being very candid in his approach. These guys aren't top fighters. But they bring eyes from a different demographic. It would be absurd to let this opportunity go by honestly.
