Top signing for them. Always in good fights Beefy.

Good signing for Sky. I’m surprised at this one. I thought Matchroom did well for him with the Fowler fight and then the good win against Vargas at MSG.

Eubank?

You’d have thought so given Eubank’s desire to fight smaller opponents but is it big enough for PPV? Not so sure.

The announcement article talks heavily about Beefy wanting a belt at 154.

Good signing and important in terms of being one of the few TV headliners who can also pull a crowd in their city.

Another fighting not resigning with Hearn.

His UK stable is getting smaller!

Hearn taking a drubbing now.

If AJ loses and Canelo pisses off after his next fight he's in big trouble

Can see Benn following suit once he’s current deal expires. I think he has 2/3 fights left; maybe it’s why Hearn isn’t rushing to get him out?

I don't think he's taking a drubbing. I think he is 'changing the game'. Liam Smith won't make him any significant money, and won't encourage anybody to sign up for DAZN other than a few hardcores and Scousers. Eddie is looking for marquee fighters and YouTubers only.

He doesn't really draw a crowd except for a local derby.

I've seen him 7 times, 4 in Liverpool and 3 in Manchester and for nearly all of them he was clearly responsible for a sizeable portion of the crowd.

He's not a Josh Warrington or even a Nathan Heaney.

But if you put him in a meaningful fight in Liverpool, particularly on Sky now, you'll get a good crowd there.

Hopefully not. Keep him tucked away on DAZN so we don’t have to see as much of him.

Very unlikely, his whole setup is Matchroom, gym, Tony Sims etc

sky / Boxxer are having to " recruit " and threfore will be paying more to the likes of smith .
Whilst Matchroom are well established and Smith is not really high profile so they will have a cap on how much he is worth .

Cannae argue with that!

Leave tony bellew out of this please

Could be looking to do a weak PPV with smith vs Eubank. But might also just want to put a show in liverpool and want a headliner who can fight an opponent.
