And just like that AJ is left out in the cold, if wilder and fury have rematch clause in there contacts its even worst...
who to blame?? has to be eddie hearn.. he obviously was trying to milk aj for all its worth because deep down hearn feels AJ can't beat Wilder..and its back fired bad
AJ's latest fight has not even sold out maybe thats because the secondary ticket websites have been banned, maybe people have just had enough and seen its all smoke and mirrors.
Where does this leave AJ?? a rematch with whyte?? chisora maybe?? parker rematch lol i don't know but matchroom dropped the ball BIGTIME, should of just made the wilder fight and the winner meets fury..
oh well
It's not a bad fight. But a GREAT fight? Hmmmm. AJ is favored 20 to 1. Since when is that considered a great fight? AJ is only favored 2 to 1 against Wilder. THAT would have been a great fight.
You guys should just calm down this AJ/wilder fight will still come and go.
Since we can't make the fight as fans, let's wait for the promoters to do their jobs.
They get paid for it.
Ok so here is ppv in the U.K. According to WBN.

I wouldn't say in the dark but they surley have created a big mess and look god awful. AJ is sill a factor in the division tho. Wilder Fury has put the aj pedvtkin fight in second place too
Not quite there's still a plethora of hearn & aj nob riders on here. Defending men they've never met with such dedication its a wonder they aren't paid.
good point
Buddy.
The last three gates for AJ fights have been north of $10M.
If you think Wilder-Fury makes more on than that on the gate, then I'm not sure what to tell you lmaooo.
Bernard Hopkins vs Joe Calzaghe made more than that and Wilder vs Fury is bigger than Hopkins vs Calzaghe. Wilder vs Fury will definitely have a gate north of $10M.
Fighters aren't paid in people. They're paid in currency. More money will be spent on Wilder vs. Fury tickets than is spent on Joshua vs. Povetkin tickets.

In just over one months time Joshua will be fighting a top 5 opponent in front of 90,000 fans. I doubt Hearn really gives a **** about the Fury Wilder freakshow.
He's going to earn more in endorsements vs Povetkin than either Fury or Wilder will earn fighting each other, and his actual payout will be more than both of them earn combined haha
You're absolutely right, Hearn and AJ won't give even the slightest fuck

Of course he cares. It takes a massive payday off the table, and gives the winner more leverage. That's the reason he's spent all his time talking about it, rather than AJ's fight.
AJ-Povetkin will be in front of 90K in a month and both Wilder and Fury can't stop talking about AJ.

Man no one cares about 90 thousand fans when 80 thousand of them have bad seats.
This post is ****in great. I will learn how to green K you or just seen some e points.
Let's say wilder and fury fight twice that probably takes us to middle of next year.
Joshua has a number of options but quite possible he takes Povetkin, Whyte and Miller in that time. He may well have to defend against a mandatory also, but that could be one of those anyway. Neither of those fights would be hard to make.
Therefore suggesting he will be froze out is just silly as the next 12 months he has so many options. He could also fight Pulev, Ortiz and a number of fringe fighters like kownacki, hughie fury, etc
Guarenteed AJ will be fighting Dillian Whyte in April as his WBO mandatory. It's bought and paid for by Hearn.
I agree. Whyte is Hearn's patsy, and knows it but doesn't care as long as his career is extended.
Crazy thing is that AJ v Povetkin would normally be big news. No one gives a shyt right now though. It's crazy when you look at the shift in public opinion.
Joshua ain't no don, he a manufactured protected bum though.
You can't manufacture beating all the guys he's beat, stupid. You're either good enough to beat them, or you're not. He's proven he's good enough.
Wilder has fought 1 dud and 39 worthless fights, so it's clear who the protected bum is.
Joshua has the brightest light on him in the Heavyweight division, so don't delude yourself. There is a reason to why Wilder and Fury can't stop talking about him. They know who the don is.
Joshua ain't no don, he a manufactured protected bum though.
Fake fans getting happy being sold a circus fight.
I doubt Hearn/AJ even give a crap about a guaranteed bore fest.
They knew the 2 clowns would be back to their respective ordinary lives after the fight.
Who in America would even give a fck Wilder beat a fellow clown?
You can end thread after this comment lol.
