Eddie Hearn "Stop Crying Deontay Wilder, Fight Whyte I'll Put AJ On The Contract"

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Whether you like Hearn or not, trying to deny that he is very, very good at what he does is flying in the face of reality

He’s a fantastic salesman, a brilliant mouthpiece and great at exploiting the casual market with the backing of UK multimedia superpower in sky. Fortunately for Hearn, boxing relies on the casual fan base, but the real fans who truly understand the game can see straight through this salesman BS.

I’m in no way denying that Hearn and Sky’s formula has been very successful in the UK.
But he’s NOT some ATG promoter who “saved British boxing” like ******s who don’t understand the sport like to suggest. And he certainly isn’t going to “takeover America” like even dumber people like to suggest.

I can call him any name I want homey, he;s a public figure.
What's the answer? What is Beyontae crying about?
If he wants AJ why is he not making any offers?
What is he, a beggar? The guy is promoted by Haymon and backed by Showtime.
Are these people totally incapacitated to make any offers of their own?
Hearn is not the only player in the game.
He can be made useless in the overall grand scheme of things.
Think about it!

This is what I'm not getting either. They both have titles. They both have their own respective promoters/managers/networks to be televised in. Yet Hearn is the only one they expect to make offers. Why? Is boxing so dead in the US that investors are unwilling to take a risk? If Hearn is so sure this fight will make millions, why don't US promoters think the same way?

Comparing alphabet rankings to a resume like Wlad's is insane!

That's not what I was doing. I was ignoring alphabet rankings completely. I was talking about the leading independent world rankings compiled by the world's top experts. I know it's popular to rewrite history on this site, but the fact is that Stiverne was #2 or #3 in most of the leading non-alphabet ratings. King Kong was #3 or #4 in most of the leading non-alphabet ratings.

Klitschko on the other hand was coming off of an embarrassing loss, and a year and a half of inactivity. He was no longer a consensus top 3 heavyweight. Yes, many did have him that high, but many also had him lower due to the loss, or removed completely due to not fighting for 18 months.

Even if you give AJ credit for Klitschko being a current top 3 guy, which is debatable, it's still AJ's only win over a top 5 guy, while Wilder has two wins over top 3 guys. I'm not saying Wilder has some incredible resume, but let's stop acting like AJ's resume is head and shoulders above Wilder. It's not.

Here's a crazy idea, how about they fight each other and we find out who is better?

I'm pretty sure AJ would win, and that Parker would beat Wilder too, so I'm looking forward to the big fight on Saturday night now. I think it's going to a good one!

I'm not saying you're wrong, but you must realize that you come across as someone wearing fan goggles. Parker would be a heavy heavy underdog against Wilder. Parker has struggled against opposition Wilder would absolutely destroy.

You may be right about AJ beating Wilder, but Parker would have little chance.

I hope you enjoy the fight on Saturday, but I expect AJ to dominate. I don't consider Parker to be a top 5 heavyweight.

There haven't been any offers because they haven't negotiated anything because both sides have had fights within the last month. After Joshua fights and if he wins, and we all know that Joshua never takes a fight that he can't win...then they can talk. Now's its Wilder Whyte and Joshua Miller. Then it's Wilder tough guy, Joshua another softy. The fraud will be forced into a fight soon. Hearn is a scapegoat genius. He is a master at finaglism lol. Fraud. Joshua fraud.

[STREET CLEANER]

Eddie lack any other promoter are lying scumbags, shameless. No different than Arum or King. Half of the Brits used to hate Hearn but now they believe anything what Hearn says.

[Phenom]

Why stipulate another fight though? literally no one wants to see Wilder v Whyte

[DaaamnSon]

I wouldn't mind seeing Wilder/Whyte while Joshua gets the Povetkin madatory out of the way, than an end of the clash wouldn't be half bad

That's what I'm advocating too. Have it as a heavyweight doubleheader like they did in '04 with De La Hoya/Hopkins in MSG or the Barclays to test the waters in the US for a potential PPV there.

Why is Jousha hiding behind Whyte?

This is disgraceful

Wilder flattens Whyte

Wilder vs Jousha should be next what is the point of putting it off? until 2019?
