Eddie Hearn

In 2019, Hearn signed co-promotional deals with Gennady Golovkin and Devin Haney, with their fights to be aired on DAZN in the U.S. and Sky Sports in the UK. He also agreed a deal to promote a professional boxing match between the YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul, which took place on 9 November 2019. This match was heavily criticised by boxing fans across the globe, they claimed KSI (entertainer) and Logan Paul Were not suitable to be promoted by Hearn, due to their lack of experience. However, the YouTuber's proved everyone wrong when they entertained the public with a close fight, with KSI (entertainer) winning by split decision.

In May 2018, Hearn revealed boxing's first $1 billion boxing deal (£750 million) as Matchroom and streaming service DAZN signed an agreement to stream shows across America. At the heart of the deal, Hearn and Matchroom Boxing will stage 16 shows in America, which will be streamed exclusively on DAZN in the U.S., while 16 of his UK shows will also be shown on the platform.
