Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua-Povetkin Deal Close, Wilder's Time Running Out

I knew it wasn't happening!! I'll wait a few days or so when it's officially not happening lol

Povetkin is a threat to anyone, anywhere. That's why a prime Wlad Klitschko resorted to more holding and spoiling against Povetkin than ever before or after in his entire career, which is saying a lot!

I see him as just as dangerous for AJ, if not more so, than Wilder. Which of them hits harder is irrelevant .. they both hit hard enought to KO AJ if they land clean. An AJ fan, Povetkin's stamina, chin, and patience worry me as much as his power. He will be vulnerable to AJ's uppercuts and hooks doe.

Lmaooooo meth is a horrible drug.

Haymon numbers **** all over Hearn if that’s what you’re referring to

haymon isnt a promoter LMAO hes an advisor. When was the last time you saw haymon doing a interview or promoting fights? Hearn has come to the u.s and has already took jacobs, charlo bros r next. Deontay the duck was willing to give ortiz a second chance for failing a test cause he knows ortiz has been around since the dinosaurs and inactive but not povetkin because he knows povetkin would stylistically maul him. Wilder knows if he gets knocked out by josh atleast he got knocked out for millions and to the undisputed champ of the world. LOL

I think Joshua is aware of his image, his popularity in the UK and is sensitive to fans. He says all the right things.

But I also think that if he had his way, he'd take the money. That's why he said $50m in the first place lol.

The decision to counter that offer with a deal worth less money (wtf?) reeks of Hearn, the promoter who would have no say if the fight was in the US.

Imo, it's AJ's business managers, concerned about his "brand" and relationship with his fans, and his trainer Rob McCracken, who want the fight in the UK, not Hearn. Why should Hearn worry if somebody else has all the stress, and the risk, of staging a big fight like this, instead of him. He gets paid either way. And if AJ gets more money for travelling .. so does Hearn!

McCracken rates Wilder highly, and he has a lot of influence with AJ. Hearn, on the other hand, seems almost dismissive of Wilder's chances of beating AJ, in the States or anywhere else. And I don't think it's all bluff and bravado on his part.

You have no REAL argument. Grow the **** up typical deontay cheerleader talking from emotion watching him knock out a pensioner than actual FACTS

[Sosay]

What was the point in asking for a counter offer in the first place?
Flat fee or no fight is what he shouldve said. No way he thought they'd offer 50 million and stage the fight in the UK.

HEARN and AJ are full of.

The B side is offering more money though because Hearn is a cheap snake and is stealing from AJ. He’s trying to keep all the money because he know his time will be up soon. He will vanish back into irrelevancy.

Hearn business seems to be your major concern.
When did u start keeping financial records for AJ?

[hitking]

Didn’t see this coming......said nobody. Team AJ is a joke.

I have to say Breazeale is more dangerous for Wilder for a few reasons i know about .

Povetkin is tough but even he admits he struggles with tall guys and Joshua is not just tall he likes inside fighting .


Breazeale is more of a threat to limited Wilder , who can be hit easier against taller guys then Joshua .


I believe its a mistake for Wilder to roll the dice here no matter what odds you think Breazeale has , the guy is 6'7 and packs a wallop .



Povetkin is the better win ,so im not saying that .

Breazeale is a fcckin bum will poor power.
