Eddie was very transparent in interviews when he spoke of AJ's sponsors. Eg AJ is sponsored by William Hill, whilst Queensbury are sponsored by 32red. That clash means if AJ fought Fury on a queensbury card, either he or they would have to give up that sponsor and I don't think that's possible if he's subject to a contractual obligation (again something eddie has highlighted). Though i don't know which sponsor it is, this one sticks out.
Quite rightly, he added that it takes time to work around those issues between the sponsors/contracts. AJ likewise said 'ive left it to my lawyers'.
Eddie then mentioned that he suggested a co-promotional event to solve the issue, but the other side (ie bricktop) didn't want that.
Likewise, Fury's constant deadlines were proof it was a load of BS.
Now, Frank Warren could make the case that 'AJ's issues arent mine, this is either a queensbury card or it doesnt happen', in which case NO ONE can blame eddie hearn or aj.
So why am i seeing the same old nonsense on twitter? anything related to aj/hearn/fury and it's the same old nonsense. 'Eddie hearn blocked it and WE ALL KNOW NOW'.
These are likely just sock accounts. We've seen that before many times when Fury's invovled. Just endless comments saying the same old sh**. 'aj racist, hearn has been exposed'.
for what it's worth, ill stick to US boxing for the foreseeable. I'm getting bored of the toxic environment here. UK boxing was great because the fans brought banter. Now it's a toxic peice of sh**..
You are right...you would need to have half a brain to see that. Anyone with an actual full brain would recognise that AJ is a marketing tool. Eddie has always known that AJ is vulnerable and the fact that hes got AJ into the financial postion he is in shows what a great promotor he is. It takes incredible skill to pick the right manouvers to get someone to that point. You are foolish though to think that Eddie ever wanted AJ anywhere near Fury or Wilder at their peaks. Sure...now that Wilder and AJ have lost...he might be tempted to revisit it...but seeing Wilder in his last fight might make him tentative again. Eddies last move will be Fury vs AJ for the cash out...but hes not finished wringing him out yet. He will continue to offer fans the carrot on the stick...but we are still a few miles off having the stick break in favor of the donkey.
Piss poor imaginary argument. Has nothing to do with the contractual issues i was highlighting.
Why did they agree to a 50-50 split in 20? Why was fury offered £28m in 2019? Why did aj and hearn accept 40%? Why did eddie ask for more time and then suggest a copromotional event to fix the contractual issues only for frank warren to avoid it? Ie if frank reaally wanted to deliver this fight he could have compromised or allowed more time to sort out the issue legally.

You’re pleading to the wrong forum , many don’t even have half of one to come to the conclusion since the Wilder negotiations way back in 2018 . Team Wilder themselves have just responded to Hearns Emails 3 months later , but it’s still Joshua who doesn’t want the Wilder or Fury fights even though Joshua signed to fight him last year while Fury publicly stated he had no intentions of negotiating with Wilder to step aside and later said Joshua didn’t want the fight even though Fury was also offered the fight in 2018 where he admitted that but actually priced himself out by demanding 60% . Lol
ill give you a different example of the sort of crap i keep seeing from dumb trashy british fans.
They keep referring to AJ's 'superior black race' comment to eddie chambers.
AJ was in dubai at the time where 50% of devices get hacked because public wifi at that time was vulnerable (the government there also want to keep tabs on everyone).
At the time of that twitter dm, even eddie chambers didnt understand where it was coming from ie 'we have no beef' and likewise aj's snapchat was posting pro mugable content.
His management put out a statement right after saying his account was hacked. Why do people still hold this against him?
anyone with basic common sense could see it wasn't AJ saying it.
Then it's the speech where he said 'dont shop in their businesses, support black businesses'.
he also said 'don't invest in their ECONOMIES'.
so over here, in 2005 after years of tensions mainly from drug gangs, between blacks and s.asians (mostly pakistanis), a rumour spread about how some black girl was accused of stealing and then r*ped in a pakistani shop in Lozells birmingham. That led to a small race war, but back then the police put an end to it pretty fast. Different time period that.
In 2011 when the police were spread thin from all the lootings, it spilled out again and resulted in 3 dead pakistani guys. I don't know if you remember that well enough but those riots are also led to a lot of focus on black issues inc from people like akala. Akala has spoken in lectures in depth on the lack of black businesses in the UK. This is true. I see s.asian owned groceries everywhere. Polish, arab, kurdish even romanian. I only saw one small black 'african' shop but most of the blacks still shop in pakistani owned stores (by that, i mean those stores have grown large enough to now stock african groceries and employ black people).
there were also other incidents of racism from pakistanis. ive seen a few youtube videos of them over the years. Now this happens because some people are racist. ive witnessed it.
Hence the speech made basic sense and was just repeating things people like akala have already said.
ie 'if they're racist to you, why are you shopping there? there are black businesses, go support them instead'. Most don't. One big issue here is a lot of black people don't like supporting their own kind financially. I can't speak for london, but in the north and midlands, that's commonplace.
hence 'don't support their ECONOMIES' makes perfect sense. in fact there are thousands of indian non-resident business owners in the UK generating billions in revenue and the profits are going straight to their own country. it's prob true for polish aswell, most polish i know send their money back home.
given those type of contexts, the person who wrote the letterk new what he was saying.
what we have are scummy white brits who know nothing about these contexts, just derping around with 'HES RACIST, HE SAID DONT GO TO WHITE SHOPS'
above all of that is that aj has lost fights. if he was winning, they would be supporting him.
British boxing was great over the past 7-8 years esp. A lot of banter and good energy. The problem is, you get the lurkers who hide in the shadows just hoping and praying for the ethnics to lose so they take over. it. look at football. All these black/asian england fans got jumped because black players missed penalties.
too many fking cunts in this country. now im trying to watch Ramirez vs bivol content and keep seeing the same sh** comments on the matchroom channel.
