Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn: Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk Not Big Enough For Saudi Arabia

[super-x]

Screw having fights over there to begin with. Those guys don't know anything about boxing and there are so many restrictive and draconian rules over there. All they have is that oil $$$. Most of the fights over there have zero excitement from the crowds compared to UK or USA. No hype.

Ultimately its the boxers who are putting there lives at risk to earn a living, and they will go where the financial reward is maximised for the same job requirement. All good sitting at home saying reject $3mil and fight for $1mil instead based on morals, but reality is... From the Top of the boxing pyramid, networks, promoters, management, fighters... The Only Colour They See Is Green.
Secondly, IF Morals actually existed in this world... and not only shown through the m.s.m, then the world inc the brits/u.s would have boycotted doing business in the middle east... but again they wont as its good business.

Eddie is such a snake in all his new interviews he's blatantly trying to lure the fight away from Fury vs Usyk to Fury vs Joshua making statements like "we are ready to make this fight right now" "he will make a lot more money fighting Joshua than Usyk" "The Saudis will pay Joshua that kind of money and Fury too if he were to fight Joshua" just so obvious and pathetic.

I know its the mans job but after Joshuas "im only doing it for the money" speech u really think people care about him fighting Fury as much now?

Eddie Hearn is such a pathetic/pathological liar, he just can't control himself, can he?
Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk isn't big enough for Saudi Arabia, but Tommy Fury vs Jake Paul is.
What a absolute scoundrel this carnival barker is, you can't trust this devil one iota, him and that **** eating grin of his.
Like he just picked your pocket, and then tell's you, come on lunch is on me, yeah right (except that it's with your money), but you don't know it.

No he's not. Cause even if the fight was there this year he isn't putting AJ in with Fury. That and the negotiations are going to be long too many obstacles both tied to different networks promoters etc

he does talk sh but, he isn't wrong about aj fury being bigger it is way bigger and saudi would rather put up big money for that than aj usyk. Aj usyk will still sell wembley

Hearn the sour jealous bit?h. Didn't he promote Whyte Vs Wach in Saudi Arabia. Yeah but the undisputed hw fight isn't big enough. Does he think anyone takes what he says seriously. And AJ Ruiz was only of interest because his Man got KO'd in nyc which topped that same dry show

Well he is the one saying he is ready to do that fight immediately as in after the fight with Franklin so what we supposed to believe. I think AJ would fight Fury now just to cash out i really think Joshua doesn't give a **** about boxing now and it just trying to make as much money then dip obv Fury is where the most money is.

it should be the biggest fight in boxing the winner is the undisputed champion and in the marquee division
how many undisputed heavy weight champions have their been in the 4 belt era probably not many so this fight should be huge
it shows just how much boxing is on the decline even the average person use to know exactly who the heavyweight champion was now i would be surprised if maybe 3 out of 10 average people could name either of them

Way to go Eddie by pissing on another promoter’s fighter’s parade

Way to go Eddie by pissing on another promoter’s fighter’s parade

What parade ? And who is he pissing off besides the usual suspects on here ? Hearn is 100% correct it isn’t big enough if Joshua isn’t involved with the money Fury is asking for to fight Usyk what’s not to understand about that ?

[Smash]

so did the saudis offer fury less then they did AJ for his fight in jeddah with the same opponent?

newspaper headlines were saying this was the biggest purse in heavyweight history i think, im sure fury saw that, licking his chops im sure he was, hearn should say he could have got him his cash easy
