Comments Thread For: Hearn Sides With Joshua's Position: No Face To Face With Wilder

[john l]

Could just be that theyre planning on making other announcements in the ring after the fight. Don't want Wilder getting in the way of stuff they already have planned

Yea and it sounds like those plans include staying away from Wilder.Othwise why not get the free press.I think it CLEAR AS A BELL that they have other stuff planned.And that the PROBLEM because any REAL FAN would want to see the 2 best meet.And Joshua has already made a ton so no more excuses after this if he goes a different way its a DUCK and fans should let him/hearn know about it.

Yea it is never knew there was so many till I got on here.Always kinda stayed away from message boards.And unless there 15 I don't get it.Boxing needs ALL the STARS it can get.

Precisely. I used to love Ricky Hatton back when I was like 13/14. Was a kid at the time and I found out he lived near me and so this then acted as a gateway into being a fan of the sport and therefore several fighters alongside the history of boxing and it’s past fighters etc etc etc. These guys are just casuals and rally themselves behind one or two guys, sometimes for a totally ridiculous reason. They aren’t actual fans of the sport, don’t care for the bigger picture of the game or it’s history for that matter. Just show up pre/post fights and/or big news occurances and spout ignorant BS.

True, and Canelo vs Chavez was a WWE type fight, because everybody knew who was going to win before they even got in the ring.

AJ vs Parker is different. It's a real fight between 2 unbeaten world title holders. AJ is smart to avoid distractions and not look past Parker.

Like Hearn said .. if Wilder wants to get in the ring with AJ he needs to stop pissing around and shouting his mouth off, negotiate sensibly and sign a contract first.

you cant sign a contract if the other guy doesnt want it......

stop making excuses already

This don't even make no damn sense.

"Wilder needs to get bigger....don't do nothing involving Joshua to get bigger"

When you are #2 (or #1 if you disagree with me) who else are you supposed to f#ck with than the guy above you (or directly below you)?

Wilder should have his brother hit Hearn in the face. That'll promote the fight. Hype sells. Controversy sells. Drama sells.

I'm assuming that they are planning a face to face with Big Baby instead. I wonder what AJ's excuse will be next year after Wilder beats White.

"I will gladly fight Wilder if he accepts 15% and beats Povetkin, Pulev and Breazeale in a gauntlet match."

Parker won't win, but I'm cheering for him now.

Yup I honesty have never put a fighter ahead of sport.To give an example I was always a b-hop fan(before he fought Roy even)but when he fought Tayler I rooted for JT because at the time I figured B-hop was prob retiring soon so thought it was best for BOXING that he lose to the new young gun instead of retiring and all the belts going in 4 diff ways.(b-hop retiring was prob my worst pick lol)

Fury got in the ring with Wilder, did that fight happened? Nah... so yeah if AJ doesnt want Wilder doing that then that’s his business.

didnt fury have a mental breakdown after that etc?

Exactly if this don't tell you Joshua/Hearn are looking to avoid Wilder then either your a fanboy or don't get how boxing works.Just like GGG came in ring after Canelo's fight with Chavez it got people talking about fight going out of the arena.They took a page out of WWE now I hate pro rassling but they know how to sell.

[bigjavi973]

Even as a fan of AJ I can't defend it anymore... They seem scared to me.

greenk and respect above all!
