    It's nonsense to say they are in Hearn's back pocket. But even if they were part of Matchroom, how could they justify delaying a mando this year so that AJ could get a contract for a unification fight next year?

    It looks to me like Wilder fans are scraping the bottom of the barrel to try and find a reason to blame AJ for the fight not happening next, tbh.
    im not blaming aj im blaming hearn, hearn never wanted this fight next and everyone is defending his lies. I think aj would have took the 50mil (which was a real offer) if hearn wasn't around.

          That aint what Eddie was saying tho.

          Eddie was saying AJ needed extra time.

          This is a BoxingScene article from June 19th:

          Hearn wants Joshua to have a proper training camp for this contest - so he won't allow the IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO world champion to fight Wilder with a shortened camp.

          He feels an eight week camp would not be enough for a fight of this magnitude.

          "I'm not letting Anthony Joshua fight this fight with an eight-week camp, because this is everything, this fight," Hearn told Sky Sports.

          "Everything that he's built towards, his whole professional career, maybe his whole boxing career is built towards this moment. We're not just going to go 'oh yeah, let's just dive in and do it on a date that doesn't give us the best prep time.

          "I think more realistically, October, November is a solution, but that does rule out the place where we wanted to stage it, which is Wembley, so lots to try and resolve, but we want the fight, we're prepared to sign for the fight now. They'll see the contract, they won't see anything out of the ordinary, then we'll go from there."


          The clock is still ticking to finalize a unification showdown between heavyweight champions Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder. Their contest was initially targeted for September 15 - but that date is apparently out the window as the negotiations have continued to drag out - and to make matters worse the Gennady Golovkin-Canelo Alvarez rematch was finalized for the same date on HBO Pay-Per-View.

            Please stop it with this childish crap!

            That article was from June - 17 weeks before the Sept date.

            Why would Hearn be saying AJ needs extra time 17 weeks out?

            And nowhere there does he say they would need more time to prepare for Wilder than for Povetkin. All he's saying is that if AJ is going to fight in Sept they will need more than 8 weeks to prepare for it.

            And they've got more than 8 weeks. The fight date is still 12 weeks away.

              Once again, your fanboy emotions give you away.

              June 19th is a little over 13 weeks from a Sept 22nd date, which is when he is fighting Povetkin.

              So yeah, Hearn IS saying they need more time to prepare for Wilder, since he is saying a Wilder fight won't be until October or November.

              Of course, we know he never meant to make ANY fight with Wilder under any circumstances next sooooo...

                Being called a fanboy by the likes of you is quite amusing.

                  You find it amusing that I keep catching you giving out false information?

                  You find it amusing that anyone can see you do that constantly out of an emotional attachment that has little or nothing to do with facts?

                  OK...
