[Pennsauken1]

Haymon would have no trouble getting 50 million from investors at all...the issue stems from this.

Pac and McGregor both had established fan bases ready and willing to pay to see them fight against Floyd. The return on investment for those fights was always there as both fighters in both fights were huge draws .

Those people investing that 50 million into AJ wilder are going to want to see a return on that and a substantial % increase in their investment. How is AJ v Wilder going to create a substantial increase on initial investment for those people?

Two guys who have never sold a PPV in the states between them .. marketing and promotion dealt with purely by Wilders side as theirs no matchroom involvement ?? AJ being at the behest of any and all requests by Wilders side to fulfill any amounts by of things required to market that fight as they know Wilders name doesn't sell enough to recoup money invested. And all of that is before the fact that they never told Hearn or Joshua what their obligations would be to get that guarantee ... They asked and were told no info unless they publicly accepted .

That's not how fights are made.. and you know it

This could well be true. Two reasons why:

1) McCracken is a smart man and knows how the game works. He knows the risk and reward and also knows the extra £ don't make a big difference to his career now. If you see his moves with Froch he would take "away" fights only to help build him up when he needed to make it, once he was up there he got what he wanted.

2) Eddie Hearn is happy to take the heat but quite clearly he is motivated by money. If the money is right he would take it.


Having said the above , I agree with their decision. Logic to me is make the fight in a more epic atmosphere in front of your own fans, it's just a sensible obvious move when money is no longer the number one facto.

Let's get one thing straight though , both fighters seems to be fighting for home advantage. Wilder has equally turned down ridiculous offers too - so both men want the home leg. The problem wilder has he is a clear b side so if the fight is to happen he's gonna have to give in because Joshua quite frankly doesn't need to

Nicely articulated

The only thing I know is that you should avoid starting sentences with the word And. Having said that it is a coordinating conjunction so it can be permitted I suppose. I don’t need to remind you about the words there and their, easy enough mistake......... .. You bet I’m still offended by what you said but I’ve forgiven you

Good points by the way

[P4Pdunny]

I'm sure they will officially announce it in the ring after Fury beats Pineata, unless Fury enforces a restraining order against Wilder to keep him away like Hearn and AJ did with the Takam fight lol.

Over here, you can only get a restraining order after criminal proceedings. This is not real life this is boxing homie.

Lolol. Are you trying to convince me or yourself? If you take time and read what you wrote you lame but nevertheless amusing attempt to justify why you say what you is in fact why I would categorise you as a disgruntled fan...... phrases such as Brits have egos as big as countries. This is emotion you are showing here pal if you didn’t know. So I understand your quest in your writing to dowse our flames if you like.

Myself I’m what you call a disspassionate fan what you describe in your last piece is actually me not you.lolol. How can you continually rant , groan and moan like a female daily then profess it’s fun.lololol in fact I don’t know you maybe it is for you. Ok it really isn’t that important I just have seen a few of your posts that I liked as you write well and I wanted to give you a heads up that you seem to daily repeat yourself. You may or may not have been aware.You said you are, and it’s boxing therapy so crack on

Lastly you said you adore or talk highly about fighters such as Thurman? I would post and slam the way I felt he was not willing to entertain Spence. If I don’t like something about a boxer I say it as I see it and if I’m criticising or getting in my emotions it’s not fun. If I’m saying it everyday it’s still not fun. I much prefer my role just responding to the occasional nutcases and just remind them there is more to life than just hating. You pointed that out so my comment is not directed at you. Say hi to your uncle for me

N.B .... I wrote you lame when I wanted to write your lame excuses, my apologies. I’m not into insulting people that have not insulted or offended me

Who said "emotions" werent supposed to be involved in criticising OR praising? The "fun" in sports is wrapped up in emotions. Its what drives MEN (the majority) to come see two half naked men in trunks bash each other in the head, with hopes of one rendering the other unconscious - susceptible to being ****d .....with 98% of us NOT there for perverted GAY reasons!!

Emotional responses can be tempered with objective awareness of the truth thats taking place, and why shouldnt I respond accordingly - especially when writers of these pieces "write" for us - to see what us average folk/fans think......and every response isnt "emotional" as you claim...

Celebrity status boxers like Joshua, Wilder, Fury etc., are like politicans - they WANT the spotlight, they WANT us to "judge" them and their credentials, they want our "votes" (so to speak) so that one day they can be in Canastota with bragging rights.

So while some strive to get there in "risk free fights". they need constant wake up calls...Exposing the "fake" is gratifying, because some big ego "fakes" live in denial - like Joshua.....so "to me" thats FUN calling out the "fakes!" Its only boxing after all....(insert whatever word you feel is apropo instead of "fun")....

I BLAST Joshua & Hearn about twice every other week - when writers update us on their antics,..... Youre emotionally a little to caught up with the implying of 3/4 times a week - thats what you hope to see, so you can come with the comparisons (youre better we are not)......

I enjoy waking up the conceited brain dead. This type of "fun" is, to you suspect.....Compassion comes after theyve been awoken like a grizzly, then praise when they accept a REAL challenge.....The brain dead don't need coddling they need something like police tasers, some kinda shock treatment ..lol......

You can take the W my man I'm sure you'd come out on top In a sparring sesh.

You don't remember them telling Wilder he will not be allowed in the ring after the fight? Maybe it wasn't an official restraining order, but was planned to be enforced by security and AJ's bodyguards. That is why Wilder turned down the offer to be a guest commentator for the fight.
