Matchroom’s Barry and Eddie Hearn are getting their own Netflix documentary series, titled The Greatest Showmen.
The six-part series, produced by the same team behind hits like Formula 1: Drive to Survive and Tyson Fury’s Netflix reality show, is set to premiere globally on September 17. The show will offer viewers behind-the-scenes access to the Hearn family and their sports empire, taking cameras into Matchroom headquarters, press conferences, and even fighter dressing rooms. It will also feature a range of athletes from Matchroom’s various sports, including boxing, darts, and snooker.
“It is warts and all – and the story has got a lot of ‘Succession’ in it. You’ve got me, the old, grey-haired geezer that started the company… and then the young son comes in, who is dynamic, and all the other kids as well,” Barry Hearn
“This is a big day for our company… It’s ‘Succession’ meets ‘Drive to Survive’… Away from the live action, you’re seeing all the backstage dramas… the press conferences, the arguments… it is so compelling,” Eddie Hearn
