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

[Silence]

No one knows Ukrainian janitor except Ukrainians. They should fight in UK.

Right so that's what he's saying then isn't it that Fury-Usyk isn't big enough for Saudi Arabia because it isn't a big enough fight for the money they want.

"The fights not happening in Saudi Arabia because Anthony Joshua's not in it. Fights not big enough" That's what he said in IFLTV

So the title of the article isn't misleading at all I'd say it's pretty **** on.

Whatever man . Lol

“Without Joshua involved, the Saudis aren’t going to pay Fury the kind of money that he’s looking to get for his next fight. He certainly won’t get that kind of money fighting Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) at Wembley Stadium in London, says Hearn, and that’s why the fight won’t happen”

“Fury’s desire for payback is petty, self-defeating, and utterly childish. Without Fury growing up a little and acknowledging that he’s his own worst enemy, he will miss out on the payday that he craves from the Saudis.”


Thats what he was saying .

Im not going back and forth on here and wasting time ,it’s a lost cause here with posters .

So the 'big' summer fight they have planned for Wembley Stadium Whyte v Joshua 2! , will the Saudi's be clamouring for that instead?

Right…

So he’s saying Fury-Usyk isn’t a big enough fight to demand that kind of money whereas if Joshua was involved it would be.

I.E, Fury-Usyk isn’t a big enough fight.

What’s misleading about that title? It’s verbatim what he said and it’s totally in context.

Why can’t young Edward concentrate on his own fighters

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.

Joshua has lost 3 out of his last five fights, was KO’d in one of them and lost the last two bouts. How the hell is Joshua deserving a shot at any belt with that dismal record. Obviously the Saudis offered Usyk money and he accepted. Fury refused the money. Fury doesn’t want to fight Usyk, that’s why he is asking for an uneven split despite only holding one belt. Fury wants to beat the same opponent over and over. He fought or rather sparred with Chisora after beating him twice before. He is talking about fighting Wilder again, who he knocked out twice already. How many times does he want to beat up the same people? He would rather fight non-boxers: MMA or a bunch of YouTube influencers. Anybody but Usyk. I guess without taking Performance Enhancing Drugs, he’s too afraid. Hearn is just plain nuts, Joshua is not deserving of a title shot. He should fight Dubois. If he wins, then fight Fury after he loses to Usyk. They can hold that one in an empty parking lot. Maybe Hearn can be the guest referee and sell tickets to the tens of people who are interested.

He is so right it is not a big fight just a unification 50/50 split as Usyk has more titles

Well, there's big money sport events in Saudi for the last few years, but the atmosphere seems non existent.

Or so it seems watching the events, it's not the same excitement that comes through, compared to a big event from America and England.
