Wilder doesn't want the fight

If Fury decides to waste somebody else's time, that's on him.
But the point, if you're too dense to understand, is that Eddie should've been wise enough to insist they handle their business, and he could've already gotten usyk out of the way...instead of trying to make a fight, for 6 months, that wasn't going to happen.Comment

You claimed it was Hearn's fault that he didn't tell Fury to fight Wilder last year... and I'm the dense one?

If you're Joshua and the Undisputed fight is there to be made, you try to make it. Don't forget that Joshua fought his IBF mandatory in December, and will probably fight his WBO mandatory in July/August. His career didn't go on hold unlike others.
Maybe he could have fought Usyk a couple of months earlier... but there still wouldn't be a WBC fight for him.Comment

I'm speaking from Joshua's perspective. If I'm him, I'm pissed. He's been sitting out for 6 months, watching Eddie make a fool of himself every week.

The facts is Eddie knew Fury was in court, because he owed another man a fight. Instead, he tried to weasel in and make a fight that wasn't there to be made in the first place. I said it before, and I'll keep saying it. The smart move was for Eddie to tell them to handle their business with Wilder, while they get Usyk out of the way. Then, they'd still be in line to have the fight in August.
Of course, in the eyes of some, Eddie can do no wrong.Comment

But Fury never wanted to fight Wilder. There still would have been an arbitration ruling in May, and Fury would still be tied up right now. After the ruling, the earliest Fury will fight again would be November/December when Joshua will be free again too.

Nothing Hearn could have done would change that. Joshua's career didn't go on hold. He fought a mandatory in December once they could get a few fans back in. He'll likely fight another mandatory in the middle of the year, when he couldn't possibly be fighting Fury because Fury lost the arbitration!
No-one of this is about Hearn, and his fighter is still fighting the fights he would have if they hadn't gone into any negotiation with Fury.
So what did this big mistake by Eddie cost? Joshua is exactly where he would be regardless.
Meanwhile Fury and Wilder have sat out 15 months over a contract dispute.

****** is right. How many brits came over to see AJ get his butt kicked by Ruiz in the Garden. And to top it off most of them bet big on AJ and had to sell their ***elry they brought with them just to get back home.
This is your problem, me liking Wilder doesnt really negate the truth. You're ****** for thinking this was really going to end up any other way.
Despite liking Wilder, I live in the UK. I see how ****ing ****** most boxing fans here are and how they allow guys like Fury and Hearn to manipulate them so easily. I guess you're another one of the jackasses I'm talking about.Comment
