Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn on Working with Frank Warren on Dec. 23 Card: 'We'd Be Muppets If We Let That History Get in the Way'

Money talks, Eddie & Aj are business first second & third before legacy & fighting either Wilder or Fury.
This card is laughing in the face of real fight fans but hopefully this is a step in the right direction & they have signed contracts to fight down the line.
Until it happens (6 year's to late) i still believe Aj if he beats Wallin will have put himself in place to fight Hrgovic for the vacant in house ibf belt & they've stated quite clearly they want a belt & as usual this is the path of least resistance.
To me Wilder Aj is in the same house as Brooke Khan, 2 shot past it old boxer's cashing in one last time year's after it was relevant. They'll probably be older by the time it happens, if ever.

How is this card historic tho? I’m confused why it’s historic? What’s the history?

I don’t think he means this card is historic
He’s saying that the history between him and Warren shouldn’t get in the way of this card

The card itself is slightly above average for modern day boxing. I suppose if it had Fury/Usyk headlining, it would have been a pretty good card

Solid evidence that these "promoters" are the ones hanging up the fights and that money talks.

Considering it was pulled together at short notice after Fury - Usyk moved off that date it's pretty impressive. Of course, the average NSB neckbeard loves complaining, especially about "muh AJ - Wilder".
