He spoke a lot of crap but the key point was he said it would be signed by Friday and expects date to be October or November; but not yet confirmed on date!
Is this finally happening??
Eddie's supposed to be working FOR AJ.
No he's not. Eddie is a promoter. He has no fiduciary duty to AJ. AJ works for Eddie. I know Eddie has tricked AJ fans into thinking it's the other way around, but legally speaking, Eddie has no obligation to protect AJ and Eddie doesn't work for AJ. Eddie hires AJ to fight for him.
When you have signed a one billion pound deal, money talks
Proving my point...putting the fight on DAZN helps Eddie save face. AJ makes more with it on Showtime ppv. Eddie's supposed to be working FOR AJ.
That DAZN deal, was supposed to be exclusive of AJ, yet Hearn makes the guy turn down a career purse because of it. I can't be the only one who sees this s#it, if you guys are right, and DAZN is the reason Eddie's stalling this out.
That's fair, but at this point, what fight is more meaningful for either guy?
Or if this isn't a particularly good fight, what other heavyweight makes it a good fight?
The division hasn't been very interesting for a long time...just the klitschkos dominating c level opponents. So when a few guys emerge that appear to be above the rest, I guess it's something to be kind of excited about I suppose.
Unless fury can get back in shape, this is pretty much the end of any decent match ups in the hw division for the time being. So I guess we better hope it isn't a blow out for either guy so we can at least get a rematch.
I agree. I understand WHY hearn would want it on DAZN, but it seems like he'd make less money for his fighter by putting it there.
His priority should be getting AJ paid, not saving face.

I might take a holiday and come back Friday and if this thing has been signed we can just get back to normal in this cesspit.
No more flame wars and ****fests about who's business tactics are better or worse .
Just Larry and drama baiting eachother .. I miss the old daysOne of the top 3 posts of the year right here!!! ^^^
Regardless of how you feel, it's 2 undefeated heavyweights, fighting for undisputed. Historic, if nothing else....

No, trust me I think it should be on SHO or SHO PPV. But Hearn needs a big time fight on DAZN. They are paying him $125 million per year, he better attract hundred of thousands boxing subscribers.

I actually got into a disagreement with another poster, on another thread. My stance was yours; it'd be stupid to put the fight on DAZN, instead of Showtime this year.
I even disagree with you about next year though. Hardcore fans will purchase the fight regardless, but I just don't see casuals downloading an app, and paying $20 to stream a ppv boxing match. Even next year, I don't see DAZN being popular, and I think it'd be a big mistake to put it anywhere but Showtime or HBO, even though I understand why Hearn would want it for DAZN

Can't wait to see the fanboys of whoever wins proclaim it as some great victory with hof implications. Both of these guys are mediocre and I'm sick of hearing about them.

Alabama? And you want me to stop embarrassing myself? Ha! Pipe down mate, Armageddon day is soon approaching. Hearn got his hoe card called and on Friday he will officially be on the clock. Just sit back and enjoy the show, good ole Fast Car Eddie will come up with some excuse. You just wait.
Wow is everybody in Alabama as deluded as you or are you special kid?

Hearn has a cult following amongst his own countrymen....But also has those that hate his guts. He's a very good promoter doing what he has to do. Great salesman, but just read the tea leaves. HE DOESN'T WANT THE FIGHT IN 2018. Like I've already stated, it makes more sense for him to put it on DAZN in 2019 after months of their debut. Extremely difficult to put this fight on DAZN after only one month in existence. Seriously, how many Americans know what the hell DAZN is?

They are indeed worse than the pa(tards. They have no rational arguments, because it's obvious AJ and Eddie Hearn don't really want the fight. Since there is no way to defend the nonsense coming from the UK, they just repeat whatever Hearn says.

Fan girl? Ha! You Brits are the ones that eat every single thing that Hearn says. Don't worry, the PR stunts are no longer working. Folks are seeing through him. Just get your popcorn ready, once Wilder signs the contract lets see what Hearn does.

Shut up fangirl, you all the same. You'll do anything to prevent this fight! All you people doing is protecting Alabama Fraud, grow some balls you bunch of groupies and tell Donkey to take the fight!

You Brits have no shame at all huh?
Even you can't believe the BS you are spewing. Just face it, Finkel and Haymon called Hearn's hoe card and he is absolutely stunned. Doesn't know what to do and his half hearted PR stunt attempt to kill Wilder on Sky Sports didn't work at all. Once Wilder signs, REALLY interested in seeing what kind of excuse Hearn makes.

Donkey Wilder suddenly lost both his pen and his passport, we all know he lost his balls when he won the belt :lol1:
