Eddie Hearn says Joshua isn't going to HBO

Let's see if this holds true

HBO will make him an instant star in the U.S.

Showtime hasn't made a star since like Ricky Hatton. And we ha seen how little star power showtime have produced since Haymon went to that network.

First off he didn't say he's not going to HBO OR that he's staying with Showtime. He's talking to mfers...as he should be. So he answered that exactly like he should of.

But the reality is after the Parker fight he's gonna be playing both sides against each other & take the best deal overall as he should. And anyone who thinks HBO isn't gonna make a major play at Joshua & potential use the fact that Hearn gots a deal with them to their advantage is being naive. I do tend to learn towards HBO getting Joshua's services after Parker, but its no sure thing & its all gonna come down to who gets the bigger budget I tend to believe as Joshua is a guy with worldwide potential that has the potential to be the face of HBO or Showtime boxing for years to come if things go well.

How do they do the Wilder fight if he goes to HBO? I think they do that fight first then go to HBO.

Wilder ain't with Showtime now. He's a free agent. He's with Haymon. He can fight on the goddamn home shopping network if their a$$es could come up with the money.
