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

[Corelone]

We've seen Hearn negotiate. B side, flat fee, a year down the road, lock in for more fights, rematch clauses, small print. Usyk will have to roll over and play dead.

He probably has one last fight left. Fighting at cruiserweight let’s him go for the absolute maximum? Based on yesterday he probably wouldn’t be knocked out but would clearly be hard to win!

Usyk isn't a diva like Wilder.

Tony Bellew must love Frank Zappa's "We're Only In It For The Money". No meaning whatsoever in this fight, two levels of difference in class at the very least.

On the other hand, a Tyson Fury fight would generate more income for Bellew. But I'm not even sure Fury will be still fighting next year given his mental conditions.

Lol, a Zappa reference. The best musician ever.

Good first fight at heavyweight for Usyk.

Would be nice to see him in the UK.

He'll get a big fat cheque too.

We're not talking about Wilder. We're talking about low bid, no bid, side deal to cheat the champ out of his cut, Hearn.

Like I said yesterday, perfect fight for Usyk to transition to HW. Fight should fill a stadium in Liverpool and Usyk will box Bellew's balls off

Totally agree ! Plus Usyk will get more exposure in the UK and I would like to see Usyk vs. Whyte as final Eliminator on the Joshua vs. Wilder card on April 13th 2019 .

boxing world be shocked if Bellew wins...

Bellew is making a second career lol He's already grabbed $10 million over his last two fights.

Dude is making the most of his post-prime career. Smart man.

Got to give it to him. I'd never have expected him to have made anywhere near what he has since the Stevenson L.
