Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua Had Absolutely No Interest at All in Facing Ngannou

[Kannabis Kid]

Lol Eddie Hearn wanted to make this fight himself, it's all over YouTube.

[thack]

Which ever way you look at it , it's shyte...but I get it , Joshua wanted to 'win' the title back ...but wasn't ready and Usyk has gone to Saudi , he's taking a shyte load of easy money .But rather than fight clowns like this and clowns like DD and Whyte these guys need to fight each other .

[VislorTurlough]

This clown is so utterly full of sht. Pathetic

[Elastic Recoilz]

well maybe he should've. As AJ says he's all about the money nowadays - he would've made a bucket load of money facing Francis rather than whyte... There's a very real chance he gets KO'd by whyte as well which would **** on any potential fight with wilder.

fury is a better opponent for this mma guy actually, he will sell the fight i think & both are at high points in their careers which is important in these cross over things i think also, if joshua can he really needs to smack someone around the ring instead of his fans holding their breath he somehow finds his hidden form instinct stuff again

I mean he's not wrong.

It's his job to pass a significant offer on to his client. Like Warren, it would also be his job to promote the fight and big it up if it was his fighter involved.

The only people who could contemplate turning it down is TV or the fighter. And I can't even blame them for making a quick buck.

It's a cash grab, we all know that. I can't even blame anybody involved if people are ****** enough to pay for it.

A loss to Francis would eliminate the Wilder fight. Whyte is the safer option and provides a safe passage to future fights.

[ralex]

Why would he be interested in something that was never on the table or talked about

lol. Come on Eddie

[Bob]

Yet slave trader junior you still yapped on about it several times.

He's just pissed he doesn't get a cut after his beyond low ball level to sign Fury.

Such a great boxing head on mystic ed.

I call BS, they wouldve jumped on that opportunity, Fury just got it first and now theyre mad.

They’re not mad at all, Hearn had a meeting with Ngannou months ago and educated him on how boxing business works and wished him good luck . No way Joshua would take a fight like that and no way would he get a pass as a champion fighting any MMA fighter let alone a champion in MMA ,you think Fury was bad with the backlash ? Lol

Joshua would fight him in MMA or box with MMA gloves before he would just do a normal boxing match which is a waste of time really as it holds no mystique about what’s supposed to happen . Hearn said it himself that Ngannou has a better chance against Joshua because both will absolutely knock one another out , Fury will just box if he feels threatened and could just coast which is likely to happen if this is really a exhibition ? The reason why Ngannou wanted Joshua is stylistically it’s a better fight and more money .

He didn’t get it because Joshua didn’t want that kind of fight after 2 losses which he was offered before Franklin .
