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

[DougalDylan]

Matchroom didn't renew the contract with Sky yet AJ still has a contract with them.

AJ doesn't have a contract with them it ended with this Usyk fight (he could resign one obviously but also with DAZN etc)

Would Wilder have made more money fighting AJ than he got for fighting Fury? YES.

Did Fury want to accept Hearn's offer to fight AJ in SA? YES, but he was prevented from doing so by the ineptitude of his own promoter.

Did it take a legal case and an order from a judge to force Fury, against his will, to fight Wilder for a third time? YES.

So much for your successful negotiations.

Don't waste your time on him man

Him and OldskoolIncel are some of the dumbest, most ignorant people on here

Well that makes the fury fight near impossible to make now. Fury won't be fighting on dazn

AJ's fights are not included in the Matchroom/DAZN deal.

Really? So what happens this weekend? DAZN is showing the card no? Will they show the entire card minus the main event? I can't see that happening.

Yes, that third negotiation worked like a charm!

It’s still happening though, despite their issues Arum and Haymon are willing to work together to make the best fights happen. Case and point: Crawford vs Porter.

Hearn isn’t willing to do that. His ego, attitude and lack of professionalism have prevented various fights from happening or even reaching serious negotiations.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

That's easier said than done. Not sure if Joshua has the business acumen for that.

I agree he’s not the sharpest knife in the draw but he has more than enough money to hire someone who does have businesses acumen though. He’d also have Sky’s backing too.

Coming from a Jake Paul fan...

AJ isn't part of the DAZN deal.

With his Sky contract also up after Usyk, I'm hoping he'll stay free and go for a fight by fight setup.

When is Fury's ESPN Contract up? Was it a five fight deal? Well that means he's got one more at ESPN after Wilder.

[BangEM]

Not the sharpest in the drawer but has successfully self-managed his own career by his own management company and he’s currently managing about 10 boxers. Something Mayweather couldn’t do without Haymon.

AJ is the smartest boxer in the history of the sport and he’s self-made. He made Matchroom what it’s today.

Why would he need a r3tard like Ellerbe? Or maybe he should employ 2 promoters and a manager like Wilder and Fury with 3 hands in his pockets?

Fury has 2 or 3 fights left on the deal.
