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

[Jab jab boom]

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

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

why so emotional? Are you a female or a 12 yr old boy? Either way, you're clearly new to boxing. Buzz isn't just build up to a fight, or whether the arena was completely sold out. It's also the fallout from the fight based on how the fight went. What happened on Saturday created more buzz than the heavyweight division has seen in a very long time. The only Joshua fight that came close was vs klitchko but klitchko was over 40,hadnt fought in a yr or so and was coming off a loss. The end result in that fight wasn't a surprise. It was what most expected. Fury being able to box as effectively as he was and overcoming a dramatic 12th round knock down created more excitement in the heavyweight division since the holyfield- bowe eras. Understand the difference? Dumb ass.

That title quote makes Barry sound like a petulant child.

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...

I doubt it. AJ seems like a straight b1tch. Has anyone notice how he goes quite and then all of sudden re appears when its convenient. He opened his mouth about the 50 million and then Hearn made him shut up and didn't say anything until he signed to fight Povetkin. AJ is Hearn's b1tch, Hearn himself has said AJ doesn't sign any contracts, Hearn signs contracts for him.

What gets me is we've never seen a fighter or promoter avoid or prolong taking a risky fight for an unknown reason to this degree..

With Mayweather-Pacquiao it was the random blood tests that held it up. Which Pacquiao and Arum ultimately agreed to.

With Canelo-GGG Canelo wasn't ready to move up to 160 just yet and didn't want to rush still being 26..

This is some whole other BS.. AJ is a 29 year old man and Wilder had already agreed to a 60/40

... If Wilder can make $25-30 million in the rematch, then he should sit back and relax...

Thing is I think Wilder is ready to close his career out sooner than later he just turned 33 and is at the tail end of his prime. At this point he should really only have another 2-3 big fights left before hanging em up around beginning to mid age 34...

Hopefully Fury and Wilder rematch right away, then both retire so these pieces of **** Hearn and Joshua don't get their monster payday.

That's smart actually rack up and then retire! Then the demand will increase to see them fight again. And that leaves AJ with limited opponents that people are interested in seeing him fight!

[AdonisCreed]

Hearn made it clear that his company won't entertain any "silly deals" to fight Wilder or Fury - and they will not allow themselves to be pressured by the boxing public to do either fight.

This ain't good at all

“I heard Darren Gough talking about lineal champions on the radio yesterday, I have no idea what that is though. I think it’s some kind of fantasy title we’ve made up – like I’m the king of the street or what not. "

Right he's been in 41 fights it's about that time. This ain't the NBA or baseball where you can be good until your late 30's. Boxing is a taxing sport on the body you get in and you get out and hope you don't take any serious damage along the way.
