Eddie Hearns and his Roadblocks

Also, I question how "aggressive" he is with the Billy Ho vs Andrade purse bid. Let's keep it real...this fight most likely won't happen. It's not like Hearn thinks Andrade can beat Billy Ho, and when Eddie starts to get like that, he puts up roadblocks and protects his fighters. It's all smoke and mirrors.

I've never seen an offer of $15 million, which is 5x Wilder's average purse, to be a roadblock.
You clowns are the reason why this fight is not happening.
The Klitschko ducker actually thinks he's worth that much.
It's embarrassing.

Come on now. Even you Brits have to admit he is damn hoping for a Whyte KO, so he has another 20 mil fight to hand in front of AJ. Anyone not named Wilder that is.

Unfortunately, many of the AJ fans are living in a world where Eddie Hearns says what the public wants. That's called being a casual. Stop it.

Wilder said yes on twitter to $15 million and now he won't sign, it's all posturing. Vegas is worth $25 million to $30 million to him so the only way to make them consider Wembley is to offer 40% of the pot/$20 million which would be insane and won't happen.

They will wait it out until they get Vegas which is probably October so whether Dillian Whyte wins or not doesn't matter, Jarrell Miller, Fury or whoever has to step in if Wilder won't sign. Joshua makes $25 million against anybody. Understand pea brain?

Basic common sense would tell you that Whyte vs Joshua 2 would generate more money for Joshua so yes im sure Hearn wants 2 domestic rivals as an option !

Whyte poses more threat to Joshua than Parker so anyone wanting to see the better fight knows Whyte needs to win bc Parker will NEVER defeat Joshua with that basic style and size disparity .

It will also put more pressure on Wilder to agree to ANY realistic negotiating if Whyte is an option for Joshua in a rematch ...... i know most Wilder fan girls want Parker to win bc they dont actually want to see him lose to Joshua and with Whyte out of the picture Wilder himself will potentially take his time hand picking more opponents !

The fight is a done deal. Hearn doesn't care about Andrade because Andrade will never make him a lot of money. He just signed him for name recognition and there isn't much of it. Being undefeated helps too.

Honestly, imo Hearn is fishing with Andrade. He probably got him super cheap and if Andrade somehow wins, he can make some cheese of him.

That's my take on it.

That about sums it up. Wilder needs to fight AJ a hell of a lot more than AJ needs to fight Wilder because AJ can fight in the UK and make 25 million against anybody. How many fights combined against guys not named AJ does Wilder have to fight to make 25 million?

You should read Boxing Scene Top Headlines. Saunders vs Andrade is a done deal and no purse bid was needed.

He's already talking about Dillian Shyte 2. Parker better go for the KO

BJS vs Andrade have agreed a deal for 10/20.
