Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Inks Career-Long Promotional Pact With Eddie Hearn

[sicko]

Eddie has done a GREAT job building up AJ so yeah he earned his loyalty

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Well that makes Fury-AJ and AJ-Wilder far less likely. Hearn has consistently proved inept during negotiations.

AJ should have went it alone, hire a stooge like Leonard Ellerbe and shape YOUR own career.

[EnglishOxide]

Hopefully he beats Usyk to cement his position.

With this news there is no way DAZN let him go onto Sky Sports again, they will put up the money for his next fight on DAZN UK.

[War Room]

Yes, that's the only way he can maximise his earnings especially now that DAZN has reduced its budget.

Listen to ye ya cheerleader puff. Get that deck out of your blow-hole. Jesus Christ.

Based on what? It’s idiot comments like this that spread misinformation. Wilder’s own guy Dibella tried to make the fight and got fired for it. That tells you all you need to know. Do your damn research.

I imagine Joshua will start going to the highest bidder on a fight by fight basis, similar to Canelo

Stop. That poster is about the most fair minded one on the board. Hes right, Olafemi should have his own promotional company and hire a competent executive to run it that way he is in more control of his career. This signing away careers to promoters is the old way. And he is again right that Hearn was the problem in making wilder vs Olafemi. Wilder and fury made their first fight in no time flat abs at the time fury even stated how easy it was to work with wilder’s people. However if one worships at the alter of young Edward then this is all for naught.

He may do a Canelo and drift around.

If DAZN complete the BT buy out he could also be ppv on there or DAZN will have to give him Canelo money to remove the ppv.

If they buy BT out they will be moving everything onto the app wouldn’t they ?

[Marchegiano]

Pretty sure career long contracts are illegal in America.

Not saying it's a bad move, everyone knows Eddie cares about Joshua's career. I just reckon it's illegal and all Josh has to do to break it is go stateside, should that ever come up.

Why didn’t Hearn do a GREAT job to build up other fighters? Does his GREAT touch work only on one boxer?

It’s more than loyalty - AJ helped build Matchroom to where it’s and all the boxers fighting on his promotional company fight on Matchroom cards. So it’s the best business move for him to make since he has 3-4 yrs left before he retires.
