Comments Thread For: Hearn: Canelo-Golovkin Deal Pushes Back Joshua-Wilder Fight

[JWHardin]

Its good to see that most boxing fans are seeing through Hearn's BS. He reminds me a lot of Arum when Arum was pushing back the Floyd/Manny fight saying Floyd has no right to demand testing, Manny is superstitious, afraid of needles, etc. It was all BS.

It is no surprise to me that AJ and Hearn have drug their feet since AJ did the interview last year, pretty sure it was sky sports, stating he wasn't sure he was mentally or physically ready to fight Wilder, and no one would push him into it. He said at the time it may be 2019, 2020 or longer before they fought.

The $50 million offer didn't play into Hearn's plan of next year. He said they could probably sneak another fight before Wilder, so more of his BS is pathetic, but not surprising. Wilder might as well line up another fight this fall too. Next road block? Joshua will have a cut or bruised hand that needs to heal, pushing it back even more.

I hope Povetkin KO's AJ. That will make the wait worth while, seeing it all backfire on Hearn.

Saw a couple minutes of the interview and just from Hearns typical BS not hopefull the fight happens this year. The man got what he wanted and Will control the event but still has the nerve to blame the fight not happening on Wilder and his team

I just checked it’s not 10-11 Weeks it’s 13 before the Canelo /GGg rematch that’s plenty of time especially if it’s a couple weeks after . If May /PAC and Canelo /GGg can get made and put together in this time frame. Saying it’s not enough time doesn’t hold weight

I think this is AJs last fight with Matchroom so it’s no wonder he wants Povetkin before Wilder. Which if it is Povetkin will be held in Sept

Wish Hearn could just man up and be upfront and say he wants the fight the first half of 2019 not make these constant f.agot excuses blaming everyone but himself why this fight isn’t happening in 2018

At least come with a believable excuse like Arum just did with a possible Crawford /Spence fight saying he won’t make it untill it does 500k. That’s an excuse that gives him years where he doesn’t have to make the fight not this weekly changing of the goalposts and new excuses Hearn is doing

It’s just makes Hearn look like a snake who can’t be trusted and With AJ playing the background and essentially co-signing him making him look like a b.itch

Not by boxers . Eddie hearn’s mobile number has been the most sought after number in the game. Having said that as a Joshua fan these endless excuses are becoming a bit overwhelming. Hearn should be relieved of his duties and reinstated after the fight is made. Team Wilder has agreed and you are still ****ing on about how long they took to agree

Lmao.. somehow, " I told u so". just doesn't quite say it.. lol. Hearn's got AJ looking shook! "Doomsday Wilder" is coming for "Superman AJ!"

October 6th almost the last day of Octoberfest. Get drunk and watch AJ/Wilder. Whats not to love?

There's a card in Scotland that day, You can't have two different cards only 400 miles apart from each other on the same day!

Arum can come out and say that, because ultimately Bob Arum doesnt give a **** if people like him or not.

Eddie cares, so he will blame people and give them ****** nicknames and chit instead of telling the truth.

And it's working. Wilder posted a meme on Instagram right after Eddie said this, and all of AJ's fans are attacking him saying it's his own fault for taking too long and not actually wanting the fight

That’s a excellent reason given I never thought of it like that

Arum gives no f.ucks

Even with the May/PAC situation his excuses for delaying the fight was at least plausible enough for the Manny d.ickriders and media to make a argument supporting his words no matter how ridiculous

“ who the **** is Mayweather to demand testing let the commission do it by their rules , why is Mayweather above the commission”

“ manny won’t do random testing he felt weak when he drew blood for the Moreales fight and if they allow it they can draw blood while he’s walking into the ring “

“ no fight in May his cut wouldn’t heal in time “

All loads of sh.it but a lot better then

“ Wilder needs to fight my 2nd best HW in Whyte and then we might agree to a AJ fight but no guarantee “

“ how do we know that the 50 million is a serious offer we haven’t even seen a contract that’s not how things work , although Wilder just agreed to Hearns offer without a contract attached to it “

“ 10-11 Weeks (actually 13-15 Weeks ) isn’t enough time although almost every big fight has been done in and around that time frame.

exactly. Never trust a boxing promoter, but when it comes to Bob, he's 90, worth millions and smokes weed every day. he's the definition of not giving a ****, he's just still doing this because he loves the power and he loves boxing. I have a feeling if Bob were AJ's promoter he'd just be like "yeah, too much of a risk right now. We don't want the fight until it's worth half a billion. Deal with it. Both guys can clean out the HW division for the next two years, and you fans will have to sit there and ****ing like it" We would be pissed, but we wouldn't feel lied to every week.

So while I never trust a promoter, i quarter trust bob lol

Agree

Bob would spin the sh.it out of AJ/Wilder situation maybe not flat out say to much of a risk but spin it in a way that’s half believable and save his fighter from getting any flack
