Friends familiar with professional boxing know that unlike other self-made boxing promotions, the famous British boxing promotion eddie Hearn's matchroom is inherited from his father, Barry Hearn. However, it cannot be denied that the entire boxing sector of the business was carried forward in the hands of Eddie Herne, and has the current scale. Moreover, Eddie Hearn also has innovation and expansion, while other established event promotion companies are still limited to working with local TV stations, calculating revenue according to PPV, Eddie Hearn backed by the network streaming platform DAZN, the big tree has taken his competitive room boxing promotion company to the world quickly, completing the expansion layout around the world.
The current Eddie Hearn's Athletic Room Boxing Promotion Company has multiple offices around the world, and its umbrella is home to a number of today's top A-list players in professional boxing, including super-middleweight overlords (holding the WBA Super, WBC, WBO, IBF four world champion gold belts), Sur Avarez and Katie Taylor.
In a recent web interview, when asked about the most successful matches he has run since taking on the professional boxing promotion profession, Eddie Hearn listed the following four games and explained his reasons.
One. Anthony Joshua vs Vladimir Clichyko Time: April 30, 2017 Location: London, UK
Reason: "This is the most successful game I've ever promoted." There are still boxing fans who recognize me and tell me it was the greatest heavyweight game he's ever seen. At the time, 90,000 spectators flocked to Wembley Stadium to watch the British heavyweight rookie who had grown up challenge the first of the professional boxing heavyweights of the time. Arguably, this match made the Britons forget about the Ryder Cup golf tournament, forget about wimbledon, forget about formula one grand prix. Eventually, finally Anthony Joshua in the 11th round of the game TKO Vladimir Kritchenko, began to create his own era. ”
Two. Anthony Joshua vs Olek Sandel Usik Date: September 25, 2021 Location: London, UK
Reason: "Although this match cannot be compared with the match between Anthony Joshua vs Vladimir Kritschenko, it is also more prominent, Anthony Joshua's opponent is also from Ukraine, although Oleksandr Usik does not have the brilliant resume of Vladimir Krychchenko, but has a skilled skill that no one in this era can match." Moreover, London at that time was still under the impact of the new coronavirus epidemic, but it created an incredible attendance at White Hart Lane, the home of Tottenham Club. ”
Three. Anthony Joshua vs Andy Ruiz Jr. Date: June 2, 2019 Location: New York, USA
Reason: "This was the first game in which Athletic Room Boxing Promotion officially entered the American boxing market or the North American boxing market, and although there was a problem of temporary replacement of boxers before the game, the final competition was quite exciting, and until now I am convinced that no one will forget madison Square Garden that night." ”
Four. Sur Avarez vs Billy Joe Sanders Date: May 9, 2021 Location: Arlington, USA
Why: "It was a contest between two boxers from a boxing promotion company signed to a competitive room, but it set a record for the largest number of spectators in the history of boxing in the United States." ”
From the above explanation of Eddie Hern, we can see that Eddie Herne is essentially a businessman. In the matches he organizes, he doesn't care how his boxers win or lose in the match, but what the attendance rate of the match is, what the subscription to the live broadcast is, how much influence it can bring and how long the influence of the game can last.
Then again, if an event promotion company blindly protects its signed boxers and lets its boxers always play games that can win steadily, then that kind of event promotion company will eventually be eliminated by the market.
