Comments Thread For: Barry Hearn: I Believe Joshua-Wilder Talks Will Start Next Week

[angkag]

Barry started initial talks with Finkell and Eddie dropped the ball,so dad had to step in and put some respek on the Hearn name. Barry will get the negotiations moving so we can all see the fight we want.

At some point it will be handed to Eddie, and will be some version of:

Eddie: 'you get 25%'
Wilder: 'ok'
Eddie: 'fight in the UK'
Wilder: 'ok'
Eddie: 'Joshua enters the ring first'
Wilder: 'ok'
Eddie: 'you wear pink gloves......'
Wilder: 'ok'
Eddie '...and pink frilly knickers'
Wilder: 'eff off'

Hearn to press: 'THEY DIDN'T WANT IT'

Moral lesson of the story is keep crying like a baby till you get what you want.
Khan did, but didn't get it.
This baby boy is the luckiest baby in the world.
He cried hard and he's getting it.

1st live body wilder fought in 7 defences lol....even then he was losing on points and was out on his feet in the 7th and then the ref giving him 30 seconds extra to recover at the start of the 8th.
joshua has beaten better competition in less than 2 years than wilder has beaten in more than 3 lol.....isnt ortiz 40 years of age ?

Wilder was rocked, but AJ was dropped! Ortiz is old, but Wlad was even older, and coming off a longer layoff. Ortiz was undefeated, Wlad lost to Fury! None of that matters! What matters is who is chasing whom? Wilder is chasing Joshua while Hearn is talking about Miller and Bryant Jennings! Holla back when y'all want that work! We been ready!

we also want what lewis did to all your heavyweights ....and it will happen ...errol spence is a very skilled fighter who would beat any welterweight...wilder is not skilled lol....big difference

Didn't Lewis represent Canada in the 1984 Olympics, and lost to Terrell Biggs, who won the Gold? Are you Canadian? I always identified Lewis with Canada and Jamaica, but I guess he is British too. BIG UP LENNOX!

I don't understand these people with the they didn't contact us bullshít. The phone works both ways man. Wilder OBVIOUSLY wants the fight (not a Wilder fan) and is chirping like crazy.

Really starting to dislike Joshua and the Hearn's. This is highschool shít, you didn't call me so we're not calling you. Come on now.

Please just make the fight already!!! This whole 'who's gonna beat who' is getting too repetitive these days!!! Make the fight so we can see what happens in the ring!!

Barry coming to the front of the stage, son'ing the son. Eddie just said, "I think we can get away with one more before Wilder". Barry says, "Negotiations should begin next week for Wilder". Doubt his dad liked his comments about he and Winkle being old school a few weeks ago. And can we talk about how Joshua called Winkle, "Shirley" after the fight on the mic?! I started laughing...couldn't believe it. I know Eddie has used it in small interviews, but that was a major public b-slap.

Hey, if you wanna claim him as British, even though he left when he was 11, and didn't come back until '88/'89, to start his pro career, it's cool! I get it! When did he start boxing? Did Canadians train him? Did Jamaicans train him? I guess Americans can claim a lot more fighters than I thought! A lot of fighters come here to become professional fighters! In my eyes, Lennox is a RASTA! He fought for one flag all along! One Aim, One GOD, and One Destiny!

Yay Barry!!! You da man!!! Lol... Barry to the rescue. He sees that his son is doing an awful job with Joshua. Yeah he's making him rich, but he is not beloved as he should be. Help your son make the Wilder fight.
