    Then the fans get into the comment sections and argue how a favorite fighter would lose to this other commenters fav fighters. Maybe 5% total of the fights the fans really want happen. So disappointing
    Lol yeah.

    We spend more time talking about whos ducking who and whose fault it is that a fight isnt happening than about actual fights.

        Tyson has to right to be angry , I agree with Bob here but he should stop all his nonsense with tight deadlines and call Eddies bluff . He has a date they can work to later in December and this would rally put the heat on Edward , smoke him out of his little hole!

          If you re-post the same article, do you get paid twice?

            Two points regarding the Eddie is just protecting his investment narrative:

            1. Arum nearly never tells the truth
            2. Eddie let Joshua fight Usyk twice. Evidently he is not avoiding fights that Joshua can lose.

              One promoter says the other one. The other one says this one. I don’t follow promotion enough to know who is to blame. Whoever is to blame needs to start being blamed and blamed hard because without some serious changes, this doesn’t seem like it is ever gonna get better.

                All promoters lie and spin narratives. What a find, Sherlock.

                It just turns out Hearn spends the most amount of time in front of the cameras and has a horde of fanboys that defend him on every platform. The same cannot really be said about the boomers.

                They either had to fight Usyk or drop the WBO belt and doing the latter would have contradicted the whole "undisputed" marketing they had been spewing for years. Then the rematch took place with rigged judges in Saudi for an easy 50 million against a much smaller man with no concussive power.

                How is that brave? Those praising AJ are nothing but sycophants, the situation was completely different to WIlder enforcing the trilogy after being battered by a 270 lbs Fury previously.

                Also, the narrative going into the first fight was that the blown-up cruiserweight was too small and would get runover by AJ given his subpar performance against faded, gatekeeper Chisora. They expected a rusty, washed and pillow-fisted easy tickover mandatory like Pulev before fighting Fury.

                Their arrogance and frank overestimation of AJ's abilities have cost Matchroom and DAZN hundreds of millions. Hearn is definitely in a calculated, overprotective mode now. Zhang, McKean, Shyte 2 are all much easier fights than Fury and would generate more in total than being the B-side in Cardiff once.

                This is all without even factoring in the risk of additional psychological damage, including a potential retirement, should Fury dominantly school and knockout AJ. That would be a promotional and financial disaster for Matchroom given he recently signed a lifetime deal with them.

                Hearn is not looking to cash out AJ just yet, despite what some people on this forum would have you believe. He is weighing up the risks vs. reward, the damage limitation dependent upon AJ's overall performance regardless of the result and a multitude of other factors.

                Thinking logically, there is only one side that should be really hesistant about making this fight.

                  If it's true, that DAZN and ESPN have come to an agreement, then I don't see why the contracts aren't signed?

                    Don't be ridiculous. You are clearly a goblin with no hope for love or happiness. I feel sorry for your mother.
