3g vs anyone else and wilder vs aj would take that date like a boss

Hearn making Joshua look like a little b*tch
Hearn obviously working hard to derail and prolong the Joshua fight

Well, it won't be a good idea to host it on the day Canelo vs GGG fight. So September 15 is a bad idea. September 8th Wembley is also booked.

I checked Wembley's schedule, and they don't have any bookings September 22nd or the 29th. I could understand if those were too close to Canelo vs GGG dates, but whats wrong with fighting in the Wembley in October? That would be the best time, there are two NFL games hosted on October 21 and October 28 (Titans vs Chargers and Eagles vs Jaguars). That would be the best time to host, IMO, because then you have an influx of American fans possibly already in town for those games.

Hearn explains that Wilder and his handlers took too long to accept the terms - with the biggest sticking point being the location - with Joshua having the home advantage of a UK venue.

What? They got back to you within a week after Barry Hearn & Finkell talked. And the location wasnt an issue after you and Joshua rejected the $50 + mil in America. The terms you set was for the fight in the UK

Sounds good to me. What's a couple months if this somehow guarantees more interest. He sounds somewhat for real to me this time although I find it odd to mention it's 100% going to happen and then later on say if the Wilder side doesn't agree we got Povetkin.

Proof of funds, fight must be in the UK, sending contract ASAP, Canelo-Golovkin...

What's the next excuse Eddie?

Do you know what British weather is like in October? It would have to be in Cardiff with the roof.

A excuse a crock of ****. Canelo always have May and Sept dates lined up and Hearn knows that. He needs to come out and say he don’t want the right and want to milk Joshua some more.

[Motorcity Cobra]

If he wanted that sep date he woulda accepted the $50 mil
