    Seems more genuine about getting the best fighting the best
    He wasn't able to get Joshua in the ring with Fury or Wilder, the fighters people wanted to see Joshua face.

    He wasn't able to get Canelo in the ring with GGG or Charlo, the fighters people wanted to see Canelo face.

    He was never able to get Mayweather or Pacquiao to fight for him.


    Who are these top guys Eddie was able to get to fight each other?

      Let's try slanting it the other way ...

      Fury and Wilder and have fought each other 3 times. Neither of them have fought AJ or Usyk.

      Why did they just keep fighting each other over and over instead of trying to unify the division?
      Try and spin in it anyway you want, the facts remain the same.

      There have been 3 top HW’s in the last 5 or so years, Fury, Wilder and AJ. I think we can all agree on that. As Usyk has only recently entered that conversation following him outclassing AJ last September. Literally nobody had him top 3 prior to that win.

      So we have 3 top HW’s and we want to see the best fight the best to PROVE who the best HW is. Fury and Wilder have fought three times, so THREE TIMES they have PROVEN they’re willing to fight the best. AJ on the other hand HAS NOT FOUGHT either yet, so is still yet to PROVE he is willing to fight the best.

      Same applies with the promoters/representatives. Haymon and Arum have PROVEN multiple times they are willing to work together to make the big fights. Hearn on the other hand has consistently PROVEN incapable of working with other promoters to make the big fights happen.

      Just stop with all the delusional nonsense and accept it for what it is. 2 out the 3 have stepped up to the plate, 1 still hasn’t. Do the math…

          Yeah it was only fights two and three that involved Arum. Say what you will about Bob and Al but they have PROVEN they are willing to work together to make the best fights happen. Crawford vs Porter is another recent example.
          Crawford vs Porter was a pound shop substitute for the BIG fight that everybody really wanted to see in the WW division .. Crawford vs Spence.

          Why didn't Bob and Al work together on making that one happen?

          B .. b .. but .. Fury vs Wilder 3 times doe ...

            Looks like we’ve got ourselves a Hearniac.

            Crawford vs Porter was a great fight. Stop with the BS.

            Please enlighten me… which fight has Hearn worked alongside another promoter to make that was bigger than Crawford vs Porter recently?

            Delusional…

              He offered wilder 100 million dollars when wilder had no way of making that much or even close. what could he have done? i know you bet a million on wilder to win so maybe you should have given that 1 million towards the pot to make it 101 million.

                The offer was 100 million for three fights, contingent on Joshua winning his next fight, which he ended up losing anyway. So the offer was irrelevant because the fight was never going to happen.

                On the other hand, when Joshua said he'd sign tomorrow if Wilder offered 50 million, Joshua backed out like a punk.

                Regardless, I was replying to the statement that Hearn gets the top guys in the ring with each other, which he doesn't. It was a ridiculous statement.

                  Hearn is the only one willing to go to extra lengths to do cross platforming fights . PBC involved only does in house fights and is not concerned about matching the best . Ellerbe himself said he doesn’t let his guys leave or any fighter not signed to him isn’t getting big fights with his fighters so your going into an epic fail here again .

                  BTW I’m enjoying your million dollar thread ,thanks .

                    Like I keep telling you, it's just too easy to be biased the other way and say that neither Wilder nor Fury stepped up to the plate and unified with AJ.

                    As for this: "Hearn on the other hand has consistently PROVEN incapable of working with other promoters to make the big fights happen."

                    Serious question .. do you actually follow boxing as a sport, or are you just into trashing Eddie Hearn at this forum?

                      The offer was irrelevant ... because of some other event that hadn't yet happened, and might never have happened had the offer been accepted ????

                      Have you ever read The End of Eternity by Isaac Asimov? If not, you should, you would love it.
