Comments Thread For: Hearn on Joshua-Wilder: Terms Agreed, But Until We Receive a Contract The Fight is Not Happening

It seems Frank Warren was right when he said the Saudis keep pushing the date and there is no real offer for Fury-Usyk. People kept blaming Fury for "not accepting a Saudi offer" when there wasn't an offer to start with.

Warren went ahead and bet on a live horse who are making the Fury-Ngannou fight while Eddie (and Usyk) are flogging a dead horse that is no longer getting govt money for boxing. Even Hearn now admits he has to talk to the new entity to see if he can get AJ vs Fury because he knows the new guys like Fury.

So I guess Hearn can't put on any big fights unless the Saudis pay for it and they happen in Arab country. No wonder DaZN and Matchroom are garbage.

Precisely. Which also proves that Usyk tries to sneak out a potential fight, but making it look like he really wants it, but Fury fails it.

It was the last December. Then they postponed for this year, claimed that the contracts are ready, lucrative and non-negotiable.Eventually it became December. Now they postpone it for some time in 2024. The Saudis are poisonous to this sport.

Terms Agreed, But Until We Receive a Contract The Fight is Not Happening.

Why not send one yourself then lol?

'We are being told they do want it , doesn't sound very promising . Hearn has been beaten to the punch again by Warren/Fury who have nailed down a crap fight with a guy who's never boxed for mega bucks.Hearn has been ranting on about this bollocks for over a year with this Saudi clan.If it doesn't come off then I look forward to Wilders story, this might just be Hearn being greedy again (as they all seem to be) and playing with Wilders name yet again whilst keep his soft chinned cash cow as safe as possible .....yet again.These heavyweights and this Saudi situation is so sad for the division which should be offering loads.

Fury vs AJ is definitely the much bigger and more interesting one worldwide

The truth is the best fights arnt happening in Saudi Arabia, even the fights Warren and Hearn want to out on there just arnt “superfights.” Why would the Saudis pay hundreds of millions of dollars just so two contenders past their best days can figjt while you have the superfights that have been going on in vegas?

Big mistake going for Fury. AJ should fight Wilder. Fury will pull out (again). Fury avoided 3 Joshua fights already. It's like they (Hearn) don't learn.

Just make the Wilder fight and forget about Fury. Also look at Fury - guy has lost it again. He's not going to be fighting again for a long time if at all

truth is the sand masters would spend money recklessly if they felt like it but the real truth is Eddie just has to talk about things that he has no ability to make happen in the fight game and blame somebody else for it not happening.

Any day now we might hear the head of skill challenge is a fugitive from justice and on the run
