    He just talks too much and he’s an attention seeker that writes cheques with his mouth that he can’t cash. Hence he tends to fallout with other promoters and sanctioning bodies.

    Take that away and he’s basically just like every other promoter out there and they’re all muppets.

      If what you say is true isn’t it on the WBC President to actually come out and clarify the rules ,Mauricio never once has made any statement in regards to the interim splits you talk of so who’s more incompetent ? You didn’t know the Silver belt rules until I told you and why it would be counter intuitive to fight Ortiz , you didn’t even know Rivas was a final elimination bout and claimed Whyte had to fight Ortiz to get a title shot in 2020 so whatever you say chief ,you seem to be the pillar of knowledge on here getting proven wrong consistently .


      You can tell the zany posters on here as well they are actually conversing with the guy who posted a million dollar bet on here as though it’s real and want to believe him as though that act on here wouldn’t shatter anyones credibility and I found out he’s also a champion fighter as well ,get a grip fellas .

        lol Hearn is no different than all the rest. They're in it for themselves and their business. They're going to do what makes sense for their business in the end. This means, a lot of back tracking on things that come out of their mouth since the landscape of boxing is forever changing. What might be a plan for a fighter in a few months can no longer be when something derails it. It is hard to predict and even harder to get right when you're trying to setup big fights in the future.

        Say what you want about Hearn but I honestly do not see him any different than any other promoter, for better or worse.

          Yeah his lack of professionalism completely ruined that fight. You’re trying to make a multi-million dollar super fight and you’re referring to the guy you’re negotiating with as “Shirley Winkle”. What the f*** was he doing? That was so ****** man.

          I say this all the time, Hearn is the main reason AJ has never had the super fights with Fury or Wilder. There were 3 top HW’s for this last 5 or 6 years, two have fought three times, the other has fought neither. It’s clear who the problem is/was during negotiations.
          That's a very narrow minded view

          Wilder beat stiverne for a vacant belt

          Then rolled over a bunch of stiff but hyped up by the media for the casuals as someone greater than George foreman .."this is real talk better than foreman"

          Wilder did nothing

          Wilder gets outboxed by spika or whatever the polish guys name was then fury comes out of the shadows and wants to fight him

          Wilder and fury was a joke of a trilogy..wilder never deserved to be anywhere near a belt and fury picks and chooses his own self proclaimed moments of greatness

            I have no doubt that Fury got more than 5 mil with the extras but 30x more than Whyte 4 mil? I don't think Fury got 120 mil for Wilder 3 somehow lol.
            Whyte declared a 300k purse for the Povetkin rematch. That’s what he officially declared to the WBC.

            who knows, Let’s not forget that the rematch was in Gibraltar with basically no crowd which means no gate revenue, Then his PPV were not exactly massive. It wouldn’t surprise me if his guarantee was 300,000, all things considered.

              With guys like Haymon and Arum, you have to be respectful even if they are hard work, because they've been in this game for a long time
              ​​​
              Hearn non-stop trolled Wilder and his team for months and months, and now he's crying that PBC refuse to work with him? What the f*** does he expect?
              Yeah wtf was Hearn thinking? "Some random guy from Alabama offers you $50 million". How disrespectful is that? Haymon and Espinoza have handled the most lucrative fights in boxing history. Hearn hasn't even been involved in an American ppv yet, but he questioned whether Haymon could come up with the money?

              Notice how Canelo didn't have to ask.

                Since you bring up "canelo didn't have to ask" then I assume youre aware that they had concerns of this "$50mil" offer. It was nothing more than an offer from Finkle written in crayon and was to self destruct in 24hrs like some inspector gadget shiet....where as the HEAD of Dazn brought in Wilder,sat him down in thier corporate office and offered Wilder a 3 fight deal worth a $100mil,2 of those 3 fights against Joshua. Surely you can see the difference in legitimacy of those offers right??

                As far as Hearn being a crook? They all are crooks and you're a damn fool if uncle all started PBC for the sole purpose of the well being of their roster. If anything, hes the biggest crook of them all trying to strong arm us into having to pay $80 for ****ty arse matches that belong on regular network television.

                  Fury vs Wilder is the biggest and best HW trilogy in f***ing decades.

                  You’re an idiot. Stop with the agenda driven BS.

                    Incompetent promoters put on good fights so Im cool with that lol.

                    You have to be really smart to be a conman and Hearns is not tHat. He is just incompetent. He loves Boxing and is playing games with his dad’s empire.

                      Biggest and best since the last heavyweight trilogy

                      As an actual fight in itself it's two giant oafs with little skill

                      Wilders a bum and fury a bum aswell
