Anthony Joshua has one fight left on his Matchroom contract...

And people qpnder why no fighters are signing up fpr Dazn. Its fast eddie no one trusts him. This wilder fiasco was the nail in the coffin.

Yeah good points. UK is a lot smaller market though that's one difference. I don't even know why or how Hearn got that exclusive deal with Sky. I wonder if AJ was to leave Hearn, I wonder if Barney Francis would work with him without Hearn. It is interesting. Barney isn't going to want AJ to fight anywhere but his channel. Would be good to see him try it and see how it played out. I doubt Joshua dares do it though.

But he can make anything work. Showtime was nothing when Floyd moved over. They were a distant second to HBO. Like miles away. Plus, I suspect Joshua can work something out with Sky because without him, Hearn's worth to them changes drastically. I don't know the terms of the deal but Joshua can make a few things happen if he has the balls and not wanting to play it safe. Yeah good points.

I think the fact that you can't work with the Sky Sports machine unless you are with Hearn scares him. If he goes alone he was no platform. That's what he fears, I think. Well, he has platforms but not the level of Sky. But he can make anything work. Showtime was nothing when Floyd moved over. They were a distant second to HBO. Like miles away.

If AJ allowed Hearn to make him turn down 50 million, i doubt he leaves...battered woman's syndrome...Hearn must have some serious dirt on the fella. :dance:

I’m starting to think Joshua has some identity issues or something. This is staring him right in the face. I think he can do it, just like I think he can beat Wilder and be the ONE.

Promote himself like Floyd did. I’m starting to think Joshua has some identity issues or something. This is staring him right in the face. I think he can do it, just like I think he can beat Wilder and be the ONE.

why would he want to leave hearn? who for? Promote himself like Floyd did.

Three months ago I told you eejits that Hearn wasn't going to make the Wilder fight next. But did any of you listen? Seemed clear to me for ages.

I'm reading an article that says he signed a three year extension with Matchroom in May. And you didn’t share it here? The hell?

There is no way Eddie Hearn is going to make that final fight for all the marbles and the Lineal title. Imagine if AJ became Lineal, undisputed champion and a free agent. Ain't gonna happen. It's Hearn who doesn't want it, not AJ or Deontay Wilder. The Saudis, Nigerians and Dana White would be throwing money at AJ. Wait, what else should he do if it's for his final fight? Hearn doesnt have any other heavyweights who are a threat to AJ and could possibly snatch the belts from him. So his last fight would either be AJ Vs Wilder => Biggest money maker for everyone involve (including Hearn) or AJ Vs Whyte => Less money, no chance for whyte to win the belt and keep the belts for hearn. So logically, if AJ only has one fight left on the contract, Hearn should look to maximize the revenue and take the wilder fight.

End of story.

People don't seem to realize, there is a tension between AJ and Hearn. AJ genuinely wants to unify all of the belts ASAP. Hearn meanwhile is terrified of losing his cashcow, so is doing all he can to stall the Wilder fight until after the contract has been renewed. Fairs, that makes sense and with guys like Slick Usyk and Iron Gassiev saying they will move up to heavy I can see why AJ wants to do it ASAP..

The AJ-Matchroom deal is done and will be announced soon. You are trying to make something out of nothing. Eddie has repeatedly said the fight would happen before the end of 2018.

Wilder is definitely trying to make the fight next. I think he’ll be releasing something official early this week.

I don’t think either Joshua or Hearn are trying to make the fight next. However, I also don’t think Wilder is.

AJ just said this week he is staying loyal to eddie smh you casual trying to troll or what? People don't seem to realize, there is a tension between AJ and Hearn. AJ genuinely wants to unify all of the belts ASAP. Hearn meanwhile is terrified of losing his cashcow, so is doing all he can to stall the Wilder fight until after the contract has been renewed.
