Comments Thread For: Usyk-Joshua: Hearn in Final Negotiations With Sites, Late June or Early-Mid July Date

[Roj]

Unfortunately Barry told young Edward 'your boxers end up skint if you allow the public to pick the fights' .As we all know we should have seen Wilder v Joshua at least once by now but as Barry said 'if Joshua doesn't fight Wilder for the next ten years then I'm okay with that'. (pre the Ruiz mauling) Then Edward went on to offer Wilder the then WBC champion 15m from the pot of around 100m = around 15% but then wanted 45% for Whyte who was knocked unconscious just two fights back and has never won anything! .....Just a bit of perspective for you nut huggers who I know hate the facts. I know these Sudi fights bring the money but that's where it ends , the big fights should be where the atmosphere and the really fans are and they'll still earn massive millions. Greedy Edward !

Lotta facts here - plus Eddie Hearn unnecessarily poisoned the water on making the fight with Wilder by calling Shelly Finkel “Shirley” and suggesting Finkel was senile. Totally unprofessional and it’s big reason why to this day Wilder can’t stand Hearn and never expresses any interest in working with him.

[Mr Giggles]

Wilder had a Rematch clause in his Title Fight
Fury has a Rematch Clause in his Whyte Fight
Hearn doesn't promote either of these Fights
Sooooooo
Why Why Please explain
You only talk about Eddie Hearn Rematch clause in HW Fights?
Smh

There is NO rematch clause in fury vs Whyte, whoever wins wins and then they move on. I respect fury for not putting in a rematch clause, he backs himself, which probably isn’t wise cause he’s going to lose, but still at least he ain’t trying to hold up the division, when he loses that’s it the division moves on. AJ doesn’t back himself so constantly puts rematch clauses in, and his silly clown promoter doesn’t help either as he doesn’t have faith in his fighter which can’t help AJs mindset.

If AJ goes into a fight knowing if he loses that’s it, it’s game over no coming back then he will be a different animal. But instead his clown promoter puts in rematch clauses, so AJ mindset is different, he knows if he loses he will get a second chance anyway.

That’s why AJ won the second Ruiz fight. And that’s why AJ will win the second Usyk fight, he will have a different mentality now.

[Good ol' Douglas]

There is nothing to see here, just two inactive boxers who have been fighting once per year since 2019.

While Fury has been trying to fight 2-3 times a year since his return from hiatus and receives all sorts of unwarranted criticism. Keep the same energy, fellas.

He won the rematch because blobby turned up near 300 lbs and has cement feet even at 260 lbs. So AJ could run away like a deer in headlights successfully.

Unless Juisyk comes in frail and gaunt, because the man looks 190 lbs right now, AJ will be retired come the end of July 23.

Of course rematchroom want the fight earlier so Usyk isn't fully fit.
Edward is shameless transparent utter filth, they had 6 month's to have a fight before war broke out in the Ukraine that was originally pencilled in for February.
But ya know Aj & his 9 month camps.

I can't my head around what you've written.

Joshua vs Usyk was on 25th September 2021. Russia invaded Ukraine on 24th February 2022, less than five months after the fight.

What is this six months where they could have had a fight before war broke out? Should they have rematched a couple of weeks after the first fight? Genuinely don't know what you're on about.

Eddie's far from perfect -- in fact, I think he's contemptible for chasing the dodgy Saudi money -- but I don't think he can be blamed in the way you're claiming here. Joshua triggered the rematch clause in the second week of October. On the day news broke that he had triggered the clause, Hearn said "I think realistically March is when you're likely to see the rematch."

No one was talking or expecting February.

Usyk bravely chose to go back to Ukraine. Then was given dispensation to leave and defend his titles. Now the fight is being lined up.

This is filth?

And yet it's Fury who is the only one with an 18-month gap between fights in the time period you're talking about. Doesn't seem very active to me.

Deer in headlights don’t run away. Instead they sit there frozen and get hit by cars. That’s why they say caught like a deer in headlights.

A pandemic and delayed fight will do that. But Fury was fighting more often than them pre-pandemic and will have fought twice against top 5 ranked opponents in between their rematch.

Would you be willing to bet that Fury fights less than them this year? Nah, because you know the truth.

I did not word it the best, fair.

But AJ, like the hypothetical deer, is not constantly in front of the car. In the meantime, he was galloping about trying to avoid the noise before being caught and making a lucky escape.
