Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Think Fury Goes With Warren, Makes Joshua Deal Tough

[Travycat]

Unfortunately for Tyson, Joshua has the belts and Joshua brings the most money currently. Fury needs Joshua and not the other way around. I really hope they can make this fight, because I think the build would be hilarious, but Fury may have to take a 40/60 or I could even see Eddie 35/65 him just because they can right now. Otherwise, he'll have to fight more people than he probably wants to before getting Joshua, which also lets Joshua continue to develop.

I really don't think Fury is serious about this comeback, well 60% sure he is just crying for attention, I don't think he can get back in top shape.
I like him lots , great character but lost in all the chat he basically bottled the rematch with Wladimir.
He sorta caught him a bit cold then got cold feet for the rematch with a prepared motivated Klitschko.

Not saying he's scared in the ring, just that he's too proud to lose, I think he bottled the rematch and knowing that sent him into the spiral. Sure he was volatile anyway but I think that.
Im not convinced he really wants to step in a ring with Joshua, hope I'm wrong and he hires a proper modern sports dietician and gets to work

Eddie just mad that Tyson did interview in Canada stating he won't be rushed back and he holds the cards. Hearn is just trying to persuade the public he's in control and he'll decide the terms of the fight!

Real fans ain't buying it
The GYPSY KING is BACK!!!
Heavyweights getting real nervous and sweaty!!

This slimy cùnt Hearn, honestly.

Pretty sure there's an interview where Hearn and Joshua were laughing off demands of Khan for Brook at 70/30 pre Brook vs GGG. That offer was whittled down to 65/35. Still wasn't accepted. Pushed further to 60/40. Still no deal. They wanted 50/50 even though no matter how you spin it when it comes to "popularity" and a track record of 14 world champions on his resume there's only one person who deserves that A side tag.

Yet now Hearn is basically taking a leaf out of Khans book. When you hold all the cards demand what you want. Set up as many roadblocks as you want i.e Bellew and Whyte. Sign with Matchroom. Don't deal with Warren or the fight will be difficult to make...eerily similar to what Khan has been saying to Brook to leave his promoter Hearn to cut out the middle man and self promote the fight.

For the sake of balance I hope Warren or ITV offer Fury a bumper deal since they're the only other two viable options in the UK with their own platforms.

People have seriously got this twisted. AJ needs Fury for his legacy. Fury needs nobody for his legacy he has already made history. Financially they both need each other. Once Parker, Wilder are out of the picture, which is no guarantee, who else is there? Whyte? There's only so many Takams you can face before even the casuals turn. Pretty sure he's lost a lot already since the SPOTY mega fail. Not even in the top three.

Hearn needs to get back to what he does best. Sell mismatches. Tell us how Kell Brook is going to dominate the world at 154lb and selectively manoeuvre through the division. Talk up absolute shìte fighters like O'Hara Davies, another quitter, how he could be the next Mayweather (yes he did say that when O'Hara Davies was unbeaten). Tell us about how Josh Kelly is the second coming of Roy Jones Jnr. How Ted Cheeseman is the best boxer he's seen since he first saw Kell Brook fight. Or he'll get Mr Bean, the coconut Fearon and Nelson to do his dirty work and talk up some next level bullshìt as usual.

Fury will destroy all the heavyweights in his own time on his own terms.

Do you seriously not get it? If you made 5 mil a fight and I made 20 and I said to you let’s split it 50/50 you’d think that’s fair?

Stop looking it at terms of percentages what aj is offering these guys is still 3 or 4x more than they’ve ever made. He doesn’t owe anyone a living.

The fact of the matter is aj is selling millions of ppvs and selling out stadiums. Why should he make the same amount for a unification as he would against say takam whilst his opponents make more money then they can generate themselves. Is your argument honestly because aj is already wealthy he should pay well over the odds and make less money than he would making a voluntary defence.

Surely the likes of Parker/wilder are being greedy turning down career high paydays? I don’t think it’s greedy wanting to keep 60%+ of the money if you’re generating 90% of the revenue.

You like to twist things don't you. I never said Hearn/AJ owes them a living. You need to take it in the context of the fight a unification will generate a lot of revenue probably more than the Takam fight which is obvious. Saying that when team Parker started on 50/50 split was always going to be unrealistic and I think everyone agrees. They did drop to 60/40 which it was where it should of finished but Hearn and Co still refused so Team Parker finally agreed on 35 which still seems to much to Team Hearn which I'm sorry that's where the greediness comes in. 60/40 for another world Champ with an undefeated record is reasonable seeing that Parker is giving homegrown advantage.

In order for Joshua to make money they need an opponent and in this case a unification fight where Parker is taking a risk by climbing in the ring just as much as Joshua he deserves decent renumeration of money the fight will generate, irrespective of what his made in other fights.

Like I said before Wilder and Fury will demand 50//50 otherwise the fights won't happen and then just get used to Joshua fighting Pulev and other lesser opponents and believe me the crowds will get smaller, the public will get fed up.

Fury said he'd take 40% and walk second

They will have to duck him and if they do Fury will make it known.

If ever there is an issue with Hearn, AJ or one of his other fighters ever discussing splits just show them this video and tell them to STFU.

AJ on the Khan vs Brook split.

"It's simple If they want the fight it's 50/50 down the middle...what because of the percentage splits? Then they obviously don't want to fight" AJ in his own words ladies and gentlemen.

[fullers]

Yawn Eddie hearn.another time Eddie and aj talk about not fighting because aj can't possibly settle for anywhere near a 50-50 split with anyone
