Here, Hearn gives an honest account of his inability to deliver the biggest fights for some of his fighters, which necessitated this alliance if he\u2019s to provide the best opportunities to his biggest talent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cI\u2019ve been starting to look at some of our bigger names and our champions and looking at how we can move them and how we can actually create a little bit of legacy and opportunities in the biggest fights for them,\u201d Hearn said. \u201cBasically I look at their roster, they\u2019ve pretty much got everybody and I can\u2019t guarantee that I can provide those fighters with opportunities to unify, become undisputed, make the most money they can in the sport if MVP have 90% of the roster of women\u2019s boxing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cSo when Nakisa came to me a while ago\u2026I said \u2018I think we need to do it\u2019. So the partnership, the alliance \u2014 we stay in women\u2019s boxing, and we continue to invest in women\u2019s boxing, there\u2019s no doubt about it\u2026Certainly a large number of our bigger name fighters will be moving over now with MVP with our direction, with our partnership, and you will see them on MVP shows to get those opportunities to unify, etc.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cWe need to be in those big fights, and I can\u2019t deliver those big fights for them if they\u2019re all with MVP. And MVP want to wrap up women\u2019s boxing, and to be honest I\u2019m up for helping them because I think what they\u2019re doing is really cool and I think the opportunities for women are fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn spent some time talking more in depth about his recently announced partnership with MVP,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":831542,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,1920,85],"class_list":["post-831541","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/831541","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=831541"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/831541\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/831542"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=831541"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=831541"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=831541"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
