Matchroom: The Greatest Showmen

Follow father-son duo Barry and Eddie Hearn in their bid to take their heavyweight sports promotion company to the next level in this documentary series.

Brash, bold and total box office…meet Barry and Eddie Hearn, the Essex father-son duo who run Matchroom, a billion-pound sports promotion company. For decades, it has been a powerhouse in the worlds of boxing, darts and snooker, and now they're setting their sights on global domination.
From Romford to riches, Barry built an empire from just a hundred quid. He now hopes his son, Eddie, can be his successor, but can Eddie really live up to his dad's larger-than-life legacy? The series follows Eddie and his team of ambitious CEOs, as he tries to take their company to the next level. All the while, he’s navigating the cutthroat world of promotion, battling age-old feuds, potential takeovers and, most importantly, dealing with his Dad.
Featuring appearances from sports stars like Luke Littler, Conor Benn, Katie Taylor, Antony Joshua and Ronnie O'Sullivan, this documentary series from the makers of Formula 1: Drive to Survive and the producer of At Home with the Furys is more than a look behind the curtain - it’s a front-row seat into a real life succession story.
