Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn: Talks For Bellew-Usyk Fight to Start This Week

[LetOutTheCage]

I think quite a few fighters in the tournament would have comfortably beaten Bellew. Usyk will annihilate him.

I think we’ve already discussed this but in case you forgot the argument is circular and asinine.

Enough of this contract bull****e. Let me give to you one of the more educated quotes on this site.

“No champion (with a belt) should sign a completely one-sided contract for a championship fight. Nor should they sign a contract with pertinent info left out (re: date of event; location of event).

A-side/B-side nonsense don't matter. A championship fight that is gonna draw world attention should be fair and equitable to both fighters - period. The AJ/Hearn nonsense was none of that ... it really is mindless for anyone to insist that a champion fighter should accept any old contract with any kind of blatant unfair and demeaning conditions in it. If a fighter CHOOSES to sign it (for their own reasons) okay, fine ... he signed a bad deal (knowingly by choice). But, if they choose to pass honestly we should all applaud. As fans we should want championship fights to be good deals for the fighters. No fan should be mouthing about a fighters skill, heart, or desire based on said fighter not signing a bullsheet contract. That would be a fan-girl talking. Not a fan, nor an educated adult.

As educated adults, and fight fans, we should want every fighter to get a fair contract, based on the risks and inevitable damage fighters suffer doing their craft.

I'm not anti-AJ or anyone else. But BS is BS. I never remember an opponent of Ali bringing a stinking contract to the public's attention as a complaint. They must have gotten a "reasonable" and decent contract for the time. That's called respecting your opponent, your trade, and ultimately yourself. Particularly in highly anticipated world event types of fights.

BS is BS ... all fans should call it like it is, no matter who you like. Only kids and ignorant people wear blinders when it comes to business (and "root" for their favs regardless) Fight fans want everyone to win and be well in the BUSINESS of the fight.”

you technically avoided the question but I understand.
Anything that makes you happy.

I bet my money on Charles Martin KO stirverne within 6.

You would have to have my eyelids stapled open to watch those 2 bums have a scrap with gloves on. MAYBE I would watch if one had a baseball bat and the other a pair of iron pipes. \\
