Comments Thread For: Hearn: If Wilder-Fury Does 1 Million+ Buys, I'll Give Wilder 50-50

I hope we can buy the PPV online. I don't have cable. HBO/Golden Boy had that option for GGG-Canelo II. I gotta see this fight live

Eddie really puts the EARN in Hearn doesnt he?! I don't believe a word that comes out of this conniving mans mouth. Anyone who gets booed as much as he does in his own home country has to be a scumbag. Only the real low lifes with no character support and defend this guy. Not saying AJ is guilty by association or anything, I like AJ. But Hearn I could gladly do without.

He's one of our pantomime villains, and yeah it's a British thing

Most of the boos are more for fun than because they genuinely dislike him. These same fans were turning up to his Prizefighter events even though it was 3rd bouts in a tournament format and the quality often left a lot to be desired. He's popular in his own way and certainly liked a lot more than Fwank Warren.

They boo him for panto / a laugh ..... a villain type

His shows are always packed and he puts on decent fights

ah you beat me to it

More than fair Wilder has staked his reputation on it doing 2.5 million.

I wouldn't say that. He immediately followed that up by saying, "hey, I'm an optimistic guy, so of course I'm gonna say that. Speak it, believe it, receive it..." Haha. That's how he do.

If Wilder-Fury does 1M buys, Wilder won't need Joshua.

You're right, he could sit on his earnings for a while fighting more opponents of the ilk of Stiverne and Arreola until retiring relatively young for a HW. I hope not as outside of AJ, Breazeale and Whyte have been paying their dues to WBC to get a shot at him as well.

We boo him in the same way we do a panto villain, or a WWE "heel". Have you not noticed AJ laughing when he asks the crowd to show their feelings to Hearn? It's all part of the show and Hearn accepts it as he knows it helps to make him money.
Personally I don't like or dislike the man any more than any other boxing promoter. Every one of them is more interested in the depth of their pockets than the depth of the sport, but they are a necessary evil.

It would be nice if WILDER and FURY fight is so good that it turns into a 3 fight trilogy. Let the lying HEARN wait a few years now to get WILDER.

LOL, you both beat me to it a well. I posted pretty much the same reply a few comments up without seeing yours.

Wilder should just pay 1m people to buy it now. That’s be hilarious.

yeah because spending 65 million dollars out of pocket to secure a fight is the smartest possible move you could do

It would be hilarious and something Finkel and Wilder would go for IMO surely they can get a discount on some of those tickets especially if touts are already selling em for less than half their face value

If the fight happens it’ll just be 60-40 to AJ, ie what was the sensible thing to do all along going back more than 6 months. All this manoeuvring and bickering to strike a deal that could have and should have been made in 10 minutes or less.
