Is this the diehard Hearn fanbase?

Good assessment. Barry Hearn himself said he's telling them not to take the fight this year but these fanboys are in here 24/7 doing damage control. Laughably sad.

You don't need to be a Wilder fan to see it (I'm not). Weird that they've devoted so much of themselves toward defending Eddie's lies. How little must you think of yourself to do that.

Its always been on the cards. A fight with BBM was touted, first, in NYC. Then, when Povetkin became mandated, it boxed AJ in.

For them, its easier to fight Povetkin, earn 20M, and come back to the negotiating table.

They want Deontay to sweat and cede ground in negotiations. He will have no choice but to do so if AJ blitzes Povetkin.

Hearn is a tall guy. I like that in a promoter. He has plethora of owl jokes as well. That's my jam.

It should be flagrantly obvious that Wilder and his team were pushing hard for the fight, to the point where they were offering insane amounts of money to get it made. Meanwhile Hearn's strategy was to stall, evade and move the goalposts long enough for a sanctioning body to step in, giving them an excuse to duck out of negotiations without losing face. You've just got to take a look at how everyone's reacting to see what's going on. The Wilder fans are angry and frustrated that the fight has fell through while most of the Joshua fans are smug and are almost celebrating that the fight where their guy could get the chance to ascend to the mythical throne of the undisputed heavyweight championship has been killed off. I really do honestly believe now that nearly everyone on AJ's side is scared. Hearn is scared of losing his cash cow, his fans are afraid that they might see him get smashed, and while some people are trying to make out that AJ himself isn't actually scared of the fight and really does want it, there's not much evidence to support that assertion. Sure, he called Wilder out after beating Parker but that's really the bare minimum you'd expect, he only said it because people expected him to. Other than that he's done basically nothing to help make this fight happen. Contrast that with Wilder, who's constantly been pushing on social media, doing dozens of interviews, and pushing and probing for solutions to issues in negotiation. At the very least AJ's scared of going against Eddie's wishes, otherwise this fight would have been made over a month ago. Hearn works for him, not the other way around, but that's not what it looks like.

They are not Hearn fanboys, just typical UK fuccbois. UK 'fans' are the worst, bar none. Yes, there are idiots from every nation but when 95% of you are a nuisance / idiots, it says a lot about your group. UK fighters are pretty good, well a lot of them are, but the fans are just...........

What is there to be proud of in the UK? "Oi m8, do u 'av a lie-sense for that paira sissorz? Go die-rectlee to jail m8, the guv'ner 'as been informed!"

The funny thing is it�s always the same posters who will defend Hearn till the end.

I love combat sports, I go hot and cold with MMA (more cold than hot as of late) but boxing has always been a passion.

I don�t mind AJ and Wilder taking other fights until they fight each other ( I�m actually looking forward to AJ vs the Russian depending on the odds I might throw a few dollars on the upset) but just be honest with the public like Barry said he thinks it�s too soon for the Wilder fight and I agree.

But personally I don�t think AJ can beat Wilder period, the style is all wrong for AJ to prevail against imo.

I just hope AJ gets past Alexander, I�m pretty excited for that one to tell you the truth.

Anyone that's genuinely a neutral can see what's going on with Wilder AJ.
If you call it as the facts show its obvious that Hearn has wanted to avoid Wilder for as long as possible. They're on record stating this. The actual date theyre offering is almost a year away. There's no urgency from them. Whether its the risk wilder presents to them or they feel AJ needs more fight camps under his belt. Its obvious what's gone on

If you call it for what it is then you're a wilder fanboy. That's some pish jedi trick trying to manipulate the situation & attract more trolls

We know Hearn is a snake, we know he does what he pleases & takes boxing fans for mugs.
This is thanks to the football crowd of boxing casuals that he attracts. They're drunken ejits who welcome mismatches.

Invasion of the troll armies: ‘Social media where the war goes on’

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/nov/06/troll-armies-social-media-trump-russian

Governments all over the world are manipulating social media for their own ends. That’s where the digital footsoldiers come in – smearing opponents, spreading disinformation and posting fake texts for ‘pocket money’

I've no doubt Hearn & his daddy would employ these tactics

So very true, they never wanted the fight Wilder who turns down $50 Millon unless he is getting that which if is fair play but your not the undisputed champion and never will be

**kingstip9** · 06-27-2018, 05:56 AM

Team Joshua avoided wilder, that’s a fact, that’s all there is too it. Gotta protect that investment

Is this the diehard Hearn fanbase?
