Hearn’s Matchroom is one of the leading boxing promotions in the world, comprising several A-listers like Anthony Joshua, Devin Haney, and many more. Furthermore, P4P king Canelo Alvarez has also worked with Matchroom Promotions for a brief period now. So, the roster is blooming with big names who might grow bigger under the banner.

Meanwhile, Hearn is doing every possible thing to promote his name and his fighters to an even larger audience. The recent Matchroom-DAZN deal seemed to be the pillar of that. However, Hearn’s move with Facebook and SBX Studios is also under the same parameter now. Therefore, Matchroom fighters will not run out of exposure anytime soon.
