Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte vs. Lucas Browne Picked Up By HBO

[IMDAZED]

Whoever signs him next is gonna keep him awhile I predict. If Showtime can't offer more money now they won't be able to offer more money later I don't think. And whoever has got Joshua won't wanna let him go unless he completely sh^ts the bed somehow.

After this Parker fight we'll know who's got the bigger budget cuz thats gonna win Joshua's services I feel like.

Whoever signs him won’t have a choice. But let’s see how this unfolds

I've been saying Joshua is trying to run to HBO since his takam fight and wilder knocked out stiverne. If he does make that trip over, he has a lot of options to avoid wilder. I figure the winner of this fight, povetkin, fury, miller, and pulev will keep him plenty busy while HBO screams he's the best and wilder is a fraud. I just wonder if all the Joshua fans will see this as a brilliant business move as they watch him make huge purses for low risk fights like Adonis Stevenson.....or call him a coward running to another network because he's scared of wilder. Like Adonis Stevenson.

It's not Joshua that is in charge of that,that comes down to Hearn.Anyway if Showtime offers more money,they would have to go with Showtime as it wont make sense not to.

Well, Browne is a former world champion

no he's not

and this is for the #1 spot in the WBC

no it's not

Lmao. There was a great exchange in the Gloves are off.
Whyte: You've got a track record of making excuses.
Browne: You've got a track record of being a big mouth.
Whyte: You've got a track record for being a tattooed penis and looking like one.
Browne was not amused

Browne should have just said "So do you" when he said that about making excuses.

not huge on cards like this cuttinginto the budget, but HW is where it's at right now and the networks know it. if they can get this one on the cheap, let them. could be a decent fight. white won't blow browne out of the water because he's not a huge hitter, so maybe this one heats up if white eats something. 6pm card, get ward some experience calling the thing second hand.

used to look forward to bob papa on these cards, jim lampley is getting to be tough to listen to these days.

Shows how HBO has fallen though.Whyte v Browne for the Wbc Silver belt and Joshua v Parker for the Heavyweight Champion of the World.Showtime got the Preimum event,HBO got the leftovers.How times change

I’m pretty sure Joshua will go to HBO for his US debut. But no way he signs long term with them. He’ll be back on Showtime.

That makes no sense,Joshua's US Debut will be worth millions in US Tv Rights.I expect Showtime/HBO to launch multi fight deals rather than fight by fight.Showtime have covered him since the start,i expect Joshua and his Team will give them First and Last say

Makes no sense because you’re pretty obtuse thinker.

They can launch all they want, but Joshua holds the cards. He’s not obligated to sign anything long-term and probably won’t until the Wilder fight is out of the way.

HBO passed on Andrade vs. Derevyanchenko. PASSED.

If this is the case and they passed on that and at the same time bought this

Can the higher ups please fire Nelson
