Comments Thread For: Hearn on Fury-Wilder: Tyson Fury Doesn't Look Ready, In My Opinion

[Bronx2245]

Fury is ready

Eddie is just desperate for him to lose to take the heat off his big stiff idiot cash cow. He knows the general public are all starting to be in agreement Fury is the real deal and AJ isn’t.

This is exactly what I was thinkng! He needs Fury to lose, because his Heavyweight has lost TWICE! Once to a Fat Guy, and now to a Little Guy! Once in the U.S., and now at home! I wonder how Usyk feels about Hearn? He must know he's the step-child of MatchRoom, even though He's P4P Top 3!

Take a look at the card Wilder Fury III

STACKED CARD: Unless you mean in the UK?

Exactly, wilder v fury II set the record for heavyweight gate

I don’t relate to the Hearn, Joshua and Haymon haters. Maybe I missed the dirty deeds that they did that are so de****ably vile. Joshua is about the least or one of the least offensive guys in boxing. Can someone help me to learn how to hate these guys, please? I’m hoping someone can direct me to an article that will inform me that these guys are scumbags like Billy Ho Saunders. Or are they hated mostly because of the heights they’ve achieved in the sport?

Hearn is hated because of his priveledged, smug, arrogant, silver spoon demeanor.....I think Joshua himself isnt hated but he's just guilty by association....Haymon is hated for one reason and we all know what that is. Some folk just hate seeing him on top and they just fall back to plain good ol' fashion hate.

Haters gonna hate and Hearn be hating. His cash cow gravy train days are about to be over.

[Mr Giggles]

Never listen to anything Hearn says, he talks so much BS I’m surprised anyone even listens to his opinions.

Before the Wilder fury 2 fight, Eddie Hearn said someone inside furys camp told him that fury got injured in training and that fury isn’t ready for the fight! That led to me putting money on wilder.

He’s the biggest BSer I’ve ever seen!

I believe Usyk is no longer under contract with Hearn since the Chisora fight, I think he had some 3 fight deal which was Bellew, Witherspoon and Chisora.

That’s why Eddie didn’t have to pretend he was sitting on the fence when it comes to saying who he wanted to win

How’s sky looking so far with the boxing they currently have outside of AJ? And what’s the future of AJ regarding sky? I will be back in the U.K. sometime in 2022 so curious as to whether I will have to get dayzin while I’m there for the biggest U.K. based fights

It’s their first non-Hearn show this Saturday, it seems they’re making Eubank Jr the face of their product. Usyk was AJ’s last fight of his current Sky deal, I’m unsure whether he’ll renew. Dillian Whyte has several fights left I believe. Sky will probably need to rebuild for a good 12-18 months but I’ll be amazed if they don’t quickly squash DAZN in the UK.

I remember when Frank left Sky in 2011. He had by far the best stable in the country; Groves, DeGale, Bellew, Cleverly, Brook, Burns, Mitchell, Chisora, Selby, the Smith bro’s, Saunders, Gavin etc. Every single now of those fighters ended up back on Sky within the next few years. I think it’ll play out similarly with Hearn’s stable.

What makes a great boxing promoter? Of course making massive events, generating huge revenue and closing lucrative broadcast deals. But also - political juice to enforce your mandatories. Recall Don King or Arum or Dan Duva (RIP) ever allowing their fighter to get screwed over for years while there were #1 ranked contender? So when crying about 2x PED cheat whyte waiting forever for his mandatory to be enforced - blame his promoter for not having the balls, legalese or skill to get it done

What makes a great promoter?

Sugar and ****e and everything nice... except

1) They have to be more cold blooded than a hitman... King could look a fighter like Witherspoon straight in the face and tell him his camp charges included 140 dollar sodas, etc.
2) They have to be more vile than the worse of the ambulance chasing attorneys... come to think of it many of them have a law degree... Arum for example.
3) If their mother is in the way of a big fight... nothing personal ma, its just business...
4) Promoters are victims of this sick society that does not seem to understand they are entitled to everything and anything, and others should take notes, shut up and pay for great fights like Chef Boy Rdee tomatoe can versus the generic brand.
5) actually... scratch that... promoters are alas, simply victims in general, misunderstood benefactors of the Sweet science... anyway on that note, don't tell big poppa or the boys, but act now after reading this post, I can, for a small pittance of a fee, make you the owner of the Brooklyn Bridge! been in the family for ages!

There's only one Tyson Fury

But to be fair...he does have two a r s es... so naturally one could come to the conclusion there might be another one, I spose.

[mjh1969]

I am wondering how Eddie Hearn came to this conclusion. Did he see Fury lately and he looked out of shape? Has he heard rumors about the sparring sessions? Where is his opinion coming from? Why should anyone believe a word that comes out of his mouth if it isn't backed up by facts?
