Comments Thread For: Hearn To Wilder, Fury: We Run The Show, You Didn't Even Sell Out

[Realizniguhnit]

Stop saying nonsense. Which buzz??? They couldnt even sell out a 21k arena.

Don't write like a ******.

The buzz came from after the fight was over and how it exceeded expectations. Had nothing to do with selling out the arena. If AJ came and fought in the USA he wouldn't sell out the staples either he might even do less than what Wilder and Fury did if they aren't on the ticket.

Hearn talks as if AJ wouldn't earn more fighting these guys too. He talks as if the guys Joshua actually does fight would sell out arenas and do big PPV numbers vs other opponents. His excuses not to fight these guys should be excuses not to fight anyone in the division, yet AJ does fight others...so why does drawing power only affect AJ's decision to fight when it's Fury or Wilder?

Wilder over priced himself when he had the chance. I can't force hearn to make the fight by force .
Let the other camp come to him if they really want the fight, if not they can go do a rematch and even a third match.
Boxing will still go on.

Not B-Lister ranked top 10 fighters. Look at Wilder resume bunch of D level fighters.

Ortiz and Fury aren't D level...Stiverne is C level as well...and so is Arreola

This is spot on. I could see Joshua forcing his hand at some point. I don’t believe he’s scared of facing anyone - but his promoters might be...

Oh, I have little doubt Joshua would face either of them. But Hearn would probably to, just on his terms. He's going to try to get the best deals possible for Joshua, but he has to understand that Wilder/Fury both deserve their respect in negotiations and will help make it the huge event that it will be.

Joshua needs to fight Ortiz and wilder vs fury 2. Then winners fight for unified hw champ of world.

Yea that’s a good match up plus Ortiz been talking a lot of smack. No one wants to see Ortiz vs Joyce.

Fast Eddie is very disillusioned. After that fight against Fury and Joshua, he nor Joshua controls anything right now. And if the 1st fight didn’t sell out like Fast Eddie is saying, why wouldn’t the rematch. I’m ready to buy that fight today. And I would rather see the rematch than Joshua and Wilder. What made that fight compelling and what will make the rematch more interesting is both styles. That was the intrigue. And neither guy disappointed. Fury outclassed and out boxed Wilder and Wilder tried to take his head off and almost succeeded in the last round. Rematch will be better. Fury will be in better shape and more confident and Wilder has something to prove.

This backfired on Hearn. he has made Joshua look like a bytch. The price tag for wilder and Fury went up no matter how Hearn tries to spin it. And Joshua has now dropped to the odd man out where everyone is talking about fury and wilder as the best heavyweight. He's fallen to the number 3 man getting trashed by fans and looking like a coward. And when the dust settles the winner of the rematch will be be paid more then what you wanted to pay them last week and has more leverage.

All their resumes are comparable except for the fact that now the 2 best HW's just fought each other and they are talking about putting AJ in with yet another C class fighter when Wilder and Fury been calling him out for a while now, while they've been gloating talking about crowd size and money splits, excuses. Huge difference there. That's the point.

HeII they won't even put AJ in the ring with a 40+ Ortiz..

Yeah exactly

[koolkc107]

What can you say about this that hasn't already been said?

The Hearns have a gameplan, have already seen it start to go south, yet they are still sticking to it.

Silly deal?

Here's silly.

They need to offer Wilder or Fury 50/50- or damn near close to it- if they want to get either for April.

Why?

Because the rematch is as good or better money, that's why.

Make no mistake, a Fury vs Wilder fight will fill any stadium Britain has.

And it will do better British PPV than AJ vs anyone else in April.

Much better.

Barry has to know that. Wilder and Fury certainly do and they also know a Vegas fight dwarfs anything in Britain.

If Wilder v Fury I does 400K buys, that's more of a gross than AJ's last fight against Povetkin.

And it is thought the rematch does exponentially better.

Fury and Wilder are literally sitting on a goldmine that has nothing to do with Matchroom and Barry decides that NOW is the time to act like King of the Road?

Might as well just come out and say you don't want the fight with either guy in April, that you are good with AJ and Dillian or DelBoy.

'Cause that's what this all boils down to...

“You didn’t even sell out”

Someone is a big time SELL OUT though...
