Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Don't Think The Public Are Gonna Want AJ To Have 2 More Fights At Franklin's Level

It really is cash out time , Hearn can see , like we all can , Joshua being knocked off and knocked out sooner than he can make 'the pot of gold' with Fury ...

I guess Whyte is above Franklin level, so we'll see Joshua vs Whyte next lol

If Hearn is talking nonsense, your suggestion that Joshua drops a million to have real fights with no audience is bigger nonsense. Would that leave him with any further fights with an actual audience in 2023? Seems a good way to further derail his career, while draining his bank account. Or are you suggesting he fights Fury in 2023 also after these two fights? Seems like a shortcut to CTE.

Sorry I didn't realise you needed spoon fed
General consensus is aj needs more fights as he looks lost & vulnerable just now
Hearn is saying he can't have those fights as people won't pay to see it.
Essentially he can't recover and improve and will be rushed more than he should be
Rather than risk losing again too soon & wiping out his confidence. Aj has enough money to pay from his own pocket.
Fighters of franklins level would fight for 300-600k. He could have 2 camps and fights in a closed setting.
Back to back within 6 months max

That's the way it used to get done back in the day.
AJ then works on his game either wins or loses away from public & when he comes back he has improved with renewed interest in him
Have his 2 tune ups in closed setting then make his comeback with a big fight.
It a win win scenario for AJ. With social media today he'd likely earn millions for footage when he released it. Only person it doesn't suit is Hearn who won't earn from it...

AJ needs time to work on his head & figure out how he wants to fight. He says he loves the game & wants another title. That's his best shot at it...

Still nonesense. AJ is 33. "Tune ups" are for two things: regaining sharpness after time out of the ring and building up commercial cache after the damage of a loss. The former is irrelevant as he has just fought and the latter won't happen if the tune ups happen behind closed doors. AJ does not need to develop skills as a boxer -- he is 33 and on the back straight of his career.

Listen: if anythign remotely happens like your suggestion, I will give you full credit. But it won't. Clearly he will fight in front of an audience. The whole point of the endeavour is to generate money.

Give to Greedy King Fury a 70-20% split and AJ has a fight!

70-20 split? Nice math bro.
