Just looking at their schedule.

Off the back of Haney/Lomachenko and Taylor/Lopez (2 of the top 5 quality fights of the year worldwide without question), took a look at their schedule.

Couple of fun (in some ways) fights with Anderson Vs Prince Charles Martin and Kambosis Vs Maxi Hughes, and then things go up a notch with Fulton Vs Inoue, Navarette Vs Valdez, and then Beterbiev Vs Smith.

With the other stars they have, they are in a very strong place in the US aren't they? Top promoter by a mile. Obviously you wouldn't think it if you just watched 20 sec clips of Hearn doing his polished media jibes at Bob.

After a slow start to the year their line up in the last 2 months and going forward looks great.

I thought they had a poor year last year and they seem to struggle to create real star fighters which I don’t quite know why. I think their last actual PPV star was probably Manny and they’ve had some top fighters since then.

PBC have been really strange in that they’ll have a couple of monster shows but little in between. I don’t think they had one US card in June which is crazy considering the amount of fighters they work with.

TR have been the #1 overall promotion in the world.

They do lack in promotion though. Arum's soo old.

They need an outspoken person to help actually promote their shows.

Their fights on ESPN should be doing million views.

Todd deBeuf isn't very media friendly either

PBC do have Adames-Williams this weekend. Not a terrific card but at least it is a card in June.

About time TR come up with something to watch.

Matchroom are pumping out shows and Hearn's interview's are as entertaining than anything we're seeing from PBC & Queensbury

Queensbury are getting away with all sorts with the rubbish they put on

In the UK, they are hardly pumping out shows - that's the bread and butter, unless you're keen to watch a poor Prograis fight with no undercard in New Orleans, Berlanga in New York with no undercard or Pacheco in Mexico on a Friday.

Looking forward to Hitchins-Love on July 15 but other than that what do we really have? Taylor-Cameron and Wood-Lara I aside what good UK shows have they had on this year?

Queensberry have had a pretty good year in my view with the Beterbiev/Yarde, Joyce/Zhang and co-promoting Conlan/Lopez, along with a much better standard of Friday night/smaller arena shows.

If entertaining videos are your thing, then it's been another good year for Eddie. But his shrunken DAZN budget has been a massive problem for him. The loss of Canelo means he is so limited now with just getting his cut off the remaining Joshua fight, one more night out of Katie Taylor and praying that Benn/Eubank can get across the line.

The only really big fight he has to promote over here which I really love is Warrington/Wood.

Hearn now pushing the narrative that Canelo was losing DAZN money, that they didnt want Canelo, and that the budget has now been freed up so he can deliver Tank, Ryan Garcia etc.

Amazing.

Eddie was implying that the $45m PBC offered Canelo for Benevidez was too low and was well below what he paid Canelo for Golovkin 3. If that’s accurate then it’s no surprise they were losing money on Canelo.

That’s on Hearn though.

Hearn: "De La Hoya, Bob Arum, PBC - They Don't Want Me Here!"

“Yeah, he’s obviously taking his eye off the ball. He’s worried about me. You know, he’s losing these fighters. Obviously, he’s got the biggest fight of his career coming up in the courtroom with Ryan Garcia, I like Oscar, you know, I’ve got nothing against him. He’s a little bit crazy. I hope he can find some happiness. He’s one of my favorite fighters, but he seems to, you know, have this strange attraction to me where he talks about me all the time," Hearn told Bro Bible.

“They don’t want me here. You know, I’m just a guy from the UK coming over. I mean, we’re the only global promotional company in the world, and America is a big market. We’re doing 12 to 16 shows here. We’ve done the biggest shows here consistently over the last few years with Canelo Alvarez and Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano and Bivol and everybody," Hearn said.

"So I think we’re in a great place. We’re delivering great value for fights on DAZN. And, you know, for me it’s important to keep moving. Oscar De La Hoya, Bob Arum, PBC None of them want me here but I guess it’s flattering”
