Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder Has Lost The Plot, Doesn't Know What He's Doing!

I think Doug from the Ring put it best when he said that Hearn had no intention of making Joshua-Wilder this year. Sadly, for all his talk about being the new breed of a promoter, Hearn is not above the old school tricks. Saying stuff like Wilder will need to get paid less in April 2019 because Joshua will be more known by then... SMH. Not to say Wilder is any better... his side is a total mess.

So very curious to see if Wilder-Fury gets made. That would be one solid knock on Hearn's nose. I guess if Hearn thought Wilder-Fury was even a theoretical possibility, he'd behave differently. And it's hard to blame Hearn for being blind-sided. Who in their right mind would have thought that Fury could be ready for Wilder this year?

It’s more about the US distribution of Wilders fights more than it is the money. Showtime has done 10 Wilder fights and have invested a lot in him. They are not going to go away quietly. And Haymon has a ton of other fighters in business with them to just burn Showtime. Best case scenario is the DAZN investors pull the plug after 18 months or Hearn find a way to cut Showtime in.

Hearn just reeks of desperation.

Is BScenes internet not working properly? This story is at least a week old. For Fhuck sakes.

Hearn is quite popular on boxingscene, he generates a lot of clicks, he might be getting into the Mayweather mode of promoters. So thats an incentive from boxingscene.

you’ve got Dillian Whyte, you’ve got Dereck Chisora..... Imagine Wilder against Chisora at the O2

Hearn, you muppet

what about that other heavyweight you promote ?

ya know, the one the whole world wants Wilder to fight lol

better to say nothing at the risk of looking like a fool..... rather than open your mouth, and remove all doubt

Eddie desperately wants to take control of Wilders career with his two lower level offers in order to promote his WHACK CRAP APP(!), when all Hearn really needed to be focused on was programming his android on the fundamentals of preparing accordingly for a different "style", and courage to refrain from "risk free fights," because taking on BIG risk is even better - creating a worthwhile "legacy" to "boot"

Programmed scared, is what programmed scared does! Wilders promoter is not Hearn. Wilder didnt get into boxing for Hearn to "lovingly" guide his career into crappy app exposure! Once Wilder figured out how he fit into Eddies buffering twisted "plot," Wilder then decided to make a movie of his own with no commercials.......Good for the King!!

Hearn-Joshua comic strip

Hearn and Joshua are a big joke but not a funny one because they are making a mockery of the biggest prize in sport. Hearn just hell-bent on preventing return of the horizontal Brittish Heavyweight.

Quite the opposite, Extra Eddie (or Eddie's being extra--however you want to see it). This dude's my favorite promoter, but he's going off the rails here because he knows what that does to a future purse split with Joshua if that Wilder/Fury fight gets made and Wilder happens to win. He's looking needy as hell here. Talking about offering up Chisora and Whyte when that's not who this is about.

Something of interest is what we always called "The Klitschko Defense"--where guys Wlad would fight wouldn't be the same in the next fight because he punches so hard. Parker and Takam didn't seem as durable after 12 and nearly 12 rounds with AJ in their next fights. And Whyte barely held it together at the end, so the offerings of Dillian and a journeyman Chisora are kind of a fart in a stiff wind for Wilder right now. But if that's true, it's a testament to the way AJ breaks someone down.
