So where's the money & when's the fight?

Hearn is slimey, lying rat..only casuals are impressed by him

[Tricky-Pablo]

Eddie Hearn talks to much!! OMG

[miked85]

They going back on their word

$50Ms was the asking price

As far as Eddie Hearn announcement, it’s another promoter trying to get me to spend money on boxing, Not impressed, until a league is created with a governing body and belt not impressed, that’s what American fans need to get them back into boxing, they don’t need another subscription, this isn’t a game changer

I’m not sure if he can pull as many Haymon fighters as they would like, cause they would have to buy in the idea that a Netflix like subscription will be a salvation to their career, and it’s not yet proven, and I personally don’t think that is the answer

Now if Eddie proved he could create an American Star off Danny Jacobs, it would be a strong selling point, but so far Danny hasn’t gained traction with Eddie, so why should charlos feel confident? Broner turned down roc nation money, u think he leaving Haymon for Eddie?

American market is too cluttered and fragmented for boxing fans to add another subscription service

Until all the promoters and governing bodies get together to create a league, not impressed

Fuck that Joshua, the money is in america. Get yourself over there, as long as that 50m is guaranteed and it doesn't tie in with sponsors or whatever, then you are not going to make 50m dollars over here as of now. Again this is changing stance from Joshua, he said "If the fight is worth 100m, then give me 50m and i would sign tomorrow"...So none of this "I owe it to my UK fans" BS.

Joshua/Hearn doing right by the UK fans and no doubt SKY who will also want it in the UK.

These guys have all types of excuses. This fight is not happening any time soon

[NEETzsche]

It should be in the UK because it'll be a much bigger deal and better event over here. As a viewer would you really prefer it to be held in a silent casino rather than a raucous stadium?

If only Wilder had the confidence to take the fight instead of trying to sc**** what he can for his retirement. Sometimes you have to be willing to take a little to make more in the long run. Exactly what Joshua did to get where he is now.

Only the deluded are fans of Hearn
Most with any common sense see him for what he is..don't believe a word of his post
That's why gets booed everywhere he goes...everyone thinks he's a slimey, lying ****
Only reason he's here is because of pr work with ifltv
