Comments Thread For: Hearn: If Joshua-Povetkin in September, Wilder is Then February

[PunchyPotorff]

Wilder fans still chiming in as if this is ONLY Joshua's fault. That's a good one. Meanwhile, Wilder's huge ego makes him say some of the most ignorant b.s. imaginable. Wilder just needs to wake up and smell the coffee. THIS is his biggest payday ever, and he's about to skroo it up. Meanwhile, Joshua can ride out his career fighting for 5x the money Wilder gets. In England. With a much bigger fan base than Wilder will ever have. Wilder just can't seem to get it though his thick head though. He just isn't that big of a deal. 50 mil or no 50 mil. Joshua doesn't need Wilder to retire as the most wealthy boxer ever. Wilder needs Joshua.

Povetkin is washed.

2019! if at all ....What a joke.

Got a real feeling AJ wont make it to Wilder

At the end of the day, this fight may not happen as either of the two may lose their title(s) before end of 2019

Yes he can stay in England fighting guys but until he beats Wilder he can't be considered the best heavyweight out there.

Of course it will be Povetkin! This is no surprise!

I'm seeing you say the same thing about AJ's ******** everywhere. You aren't just coming out of the closet with all this talk about AJ's rear end, you're kicking the ****ing doors open.

Fortunately, it's 2018, and being gay is more widely accepted than it once was. You're good, bro.

Lol.. I just do it to piss off AJ fans.. u **** tard! its how I start my day.. lol. I use to take the gay jokes to heart.. until I realized.. that's the best way to piss alpha males off.. lmao. I don't think there's a single gay dude on this site.. the is boxing not the cooking channel.. u sensitive bastard.

Joshua and Hearn do not want the fight, at least for now. No one turns down a guaranteed $50 million with no cap just because of the venue, where they admitted themselves that Vegas is ultimately where the fight would bring the most revenue.

I won't bother to list all of the excuses by Hearn so far. The guy is totally full of BS. It reminds me of Arum protecting his cash cow Pacquiao.

Joshua has a great chance to win, but I can see his advantage of having it in the UK if it is close. I hope it isn't the same ref for Povetkin as Parker, or it will be the same fight with the ref not allowing Povetkin to get in close.

I'll laugh all day if Povetkin KO's Joshua.

As a British AJ fan that had there back some of the way in terms of prior handling on Wilders side (50 mill PR and then not meeting Hearn) I’m firmly disappointed with AJ and Hearn now on a few crucial points.

-AJ had said he’s happy to fight in the USA, and Hearn was open about planning it for say Wilder or Miller.
-AJ said 50 mill and let’s fight.
-Wilder accepted.
-Hearn frequently says wherever fights make the most money is where it makes sense for them to be.
-Hearn and AJ openly recognise it makes more money in the US and are all about the money. So why not the US?
-AJ+Rob McCracken his trainer then take a new position of only being willing to fight Wilder in the UK. A direct contradiction to earlier statements, positions, and wanting the fight regardless of location.
-Hearn was emphasising he wanted his ‘next fight’ in the UK. So then what he fights Povetkin possibly in the UK. Then come February they are still saying Wilder only in the UK. WTF?
-It’s not a 2 match deal. It’s a standard if you beat AJ we’ll get a rematch deal. If we win, there won't be.
-So in all likelihood the fight may happen in Feb in the UK, and that’s that. Then what they finally fight in the US vs Miller later that year? What the hell is that all about?
