Firstly Okolie should count himself lucky for such a poor boring fighter.

Slave trader junior, nothing but a money grabbing bully when it's the little guy.
Funny how he changed his tune concerning Hrgovic immediate purse bid after the real slave trading Saudi Prince who wants to host undesputed put him in his place.

These promoter deals should have a clear expiration, to many of promoter's ruin careers with they're small print option's making it all about them & money.

I won't ever be buying deadzone.

Lawrence has seen straight through Hearn like the rest of us.Hearn thought he could buy him with Rolex watch but just as Hearn left Sky for better deal ,Lawrence looks to be doing just the same ...and young Edward hates it .Well done to Lawrence for not being bullied by this idiots legal threats ...Edward wouldn't have been so bothered had he signed Tyson Fury as Tyson at the time wanted ......Big Mistake!

I don't know who's in the right in this issue, but yeah, perhaps they should let Okolie go and do his thing separate from Matchroom and Dazn.

With all that money at Dazn, I'm not sure they've been all that profitable. They've had a few big fights, not many. But I'll say this, no network beats their highlights packages on YouTube.

He's saying two conflicting things here - if his contract is actually up, he wouldn't have to pay Hearn a half-million pounds to get out of it.

Okolie's not saying two things. He says his contract is up ... over ... period. He also says thet e. hearn is asking for half a mill to "end his contract", kinda like they want a payment not to go to court about it. Obviously Okolie ain't trying to hear that .... he's saying the contract is up and there is nothing in the contract that says he has to pay an "exit fee".

Signing contracts with hearn, lol, you know there's gonna be a minefield of fine print obligations and BS, none of which is in your favor (unless your name is AJ). People fail to realize that this is why Team Wilder would not sign a contract with hearn no matter how much money was on the table. There's always a trick and aome BS with hearn. If hearn wants to keep you, you are guaranteed to ending up going to court over something or the other.

Wouldn't surprise me if one day AJ has to go to court against him too. Well, maybe not.
