Comments Thread For: Barry Hearn Wants Joshua To Delay Wilder Fight, Explains Why

Well, at least he's honest! No wonder Shelly Finkel wanted to deal with the father!

WOW! What a LEGACY!!! "CAPITALISE" on a "LEGACY PLAN" with "a guy who is making all of this MONEY, and can CONTINUE DOING SO, in RISK FREE FIGHTS"(?!?!).......Manchester United's Old Trafford ground?? Sounds haunted

The counter-argument and one Eddie has to consider is whether Alexander Povetkin could chin AJ.

But I don’t know how they project PPV buys, it all seems a bit of a guessing game to me. It’s not like they’d fight in a months time without a massive PR machine going into overdrive on both sides of the pond for about 5/6 months

Povetkin is a potentially dangerous opponent. Yes he's old but if he catches Joshua it could be lights out. Then I'd really be pissed this fight wasn't made!! Povetkin has experience.

“Not because I’m worried about Deontay Wilder but at this moment in time maybe I’m looking at 500,000 to 600,000 pay-per-view buyers. In a year, done properly I might be looking at two million, two and a half million pay-per-view buyers.”

Gotta let it marinate...

You get clowned on here 24/7 because your view of the sport is completely colored by your loyalty to a country.

The only guys who 'clown' me are simpletons like you who think discussing boxing consists of "derpp amurikah da best doe durrp".

Go through your posts and tell me you just wrote that line with no irony.

Couldn't make that up.

Cowards! Could you imagine if it was the other way around? They would be dogging America to the ground. This is shamless. If they wait it out and beat Deontay when he's old it's a shame.

It is the other way around, Wilder has been a pro boxer twice as long as AJ, but another guy comes a long a vacuums up all the belts whilst Wilder fights taxi drivers. Cowardice has nothing to do with it, he never got control of the game and now he bows to AJ, only has himself to blame.

I defy you to prove it then. Stop being an ankle biter and give your words some value for ONCE.
I've bashed Wilder and Floyd repeatedly for their shortcomings and have praised British talents like Frampton, Froch, and the great Joe Calzaghe (my top 2 fave fighter of all time). You're threatened by honesty because you aren't smart enough to articulate a point or back up anything you say. You just know how to panic and make noise.

Edit; waiting... nothing to say, eh? Take your time. I know it's going to be a tough one for you. Mostly because it's not possible. Why don't you go bother someone who is actually anti-UK. You might make some headway.

Its not Joshua i would be worried about .

Wilder is the one dropping rounds ,getting saved by bells ,getting staggered , etc .


Wilder should have just accepted the 12.5 Million bc if big Breazeale lands one of those clubs on him and wns , Wilder is going to be labled Captain Idiot for the remainder of his career .

Agree! But it's good fight for both, i don't see what other fighter can offer 50M to Joshua, so at this point, if Wilder loses, Joshua loses too!

[Tricky-Pablo]

You're right...thats what happened with Mayweather and the Pacman. I don't want to get into who's fault it was, because that argument is about 3 years old, but you can't be a right-minded person, and not believe, as successful as that fight was, it wouldn't have done even bigger numbers if it had happened before Pacquiao got slept by Marquez.



I think this is the only comment of yours i have ever agreed with. Somebody must've slapped some sense into you, no?



This is the number 1 reason why the fight shouldn't be dragged out. Let's face it, BOTH of them are flawed fighters, and even if they both remain unbeaten, I don't see this fight being any bigger next year than it is right now. They run the risk of either one of them losing, which totally kills the value, or either pissing off the fans, which will undoubtedly lead to a lot of dudes ******ing the fight that would've originally paid for it.

It's a 50 million dollar guarantee, even if it only does 1 ppv buy. Barry Hearn needs to sit his old ass down somewhere.

Very good point!!

Exactly wilder wasn’t even on this clowns radars now all of a sudden he wants to unify smh. Wilder waited for the smoke to clear out and star running his mouth like he has accomplished anything and let AJ do all the dirty work collecting belts and fighting real competition while wilder was fighting fat out of shape suppose top level fighters man wilder resume is probably among the worst in current champions
