      From a business perspective Hearn has a point in terms of wanting to build the fight up, a lot of the guys on here that say the fight should not be built up will be the ones asking for streams because they're too cheap to pay for it.

      I would rather the fight happen ASAP but as a promoter making revenue you would want a bit more exposure to casuals or as Hearn said "the man on the street".

          Hearn has a reputation in boxing, along with Tom at K2, for being the easiest dealmaker in the sport. When he wants a fight made, he manages to get it done. The opposite of Bob Arum or Frank Warren, he's known as a guy who gives where he needs to give to make the date.

          Which is why this is especially pathetic stuff from him. Desperately trying to keep Joshua away from Wilder until 2019, either to cash in against three easy fights or coaxing Tyson Fury into a UK blockbuster.
