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

[Ake-Dawg]

Now you sound like a cry baby. AJ just KOed a top 5 guy last Sept, sent a contract across the Atlantic which is yet to come back signed. Of course you can't force any body to sign on gun point.

From your dumb analysis, a lineal champ can abandon his fights, go oblivion with drugs and self abuse, comes back after 3yrs and become #1.
Am sure that's the way to continually prove you are the lineal champ. Huh!!
Huh!!
Go drink some beer bro. Come back when you feel alright.

Please stay on topic and ensure that your comments reflect modern events. There is no need for name-calling and attacking other Fighters since you have such a compelling argument. We were told that negotiations for a Wilder and Joshua fight with begin the day after the fight. So far subsequent interviews have indicated that that has not happened. The only plausible reason to not start negotiations with Wilder is to start negotiations with Fury.

Bottom line is, until Joshua beats Fury or Wilder he is just the top guy to his fans, not the undisputed champ.

So you dont get a fight against AJ unless you can fill a stadium .

Joe Parker and Takam would struggle to fill a school dinner hall never mind a stadium

Hearn is scared to watch his cash cow get found out against the real HW's

How many fights have sold out the Staples Centre?

The petition is not for a rematch, it’s for the scoring outcome of the fight.

Genuine question, if Fury has a rematch option, why is Charlie Giles of the BBBofC petitioning the WBC for a rematch? Why is Frank Warren writing to WBC for them to order a rematch?

I think it was only Wilder that had a rematch option in the event of a Fury win.

Which has never happened ever. Most I’ve ever seen happen is if the sanctioning body rules in your favor, they demand a rematch.

But to change the scores? I’ve never seen or heard of it. Anyone know if there’s a precisent set?

I think it's more you don't get a 50% split if you don't bring 50% of the draw.

[pedrito]

You run. Period.

Would AJ Fury have sold out the Staples centre ? i doubt it

Would Wilder Fury sell out a UK stadium ? Absolutely

OK but tell Joshua to take the fight or stop pretending he has a claim as #1

[ChrisCook]

Btw, both father and son can do all the talking they want, but eventually Joshua will overrule them. He's not going to just sit back and accept "failed negotiations" or any PR stunts and will force the fights to happen. He just better make sure he gets Wilder or Fury in April, or else he will have to wait until 2020 to get either of them. Because once Wilder/Fury rematch, they will have to take on their mandatory (Breazeale) later in 2019.

And if they wait for the rematch and it does hit a million US buys? Good look negotiating anything less than a 50/50 split with either fighter.

Interesting times indeed. A lot of this stuff I predicted months ago in my "Eddie Hearn's Big Dilemma" thread.

Nah, Hearn and AJ will do what they want when they want to; and they don't technically need to make the Wilder/Fury fight for April because as we all know, unification trumps a mandatory... unless they choose to fight a mandatory that is.
That being said, I do hope they try to do something is big though as I'm not keen on another Whyte fight if (and I do mean if) he beats Chisora!
Since the Fury vs Wilder fight, there seems a ground swell of interest in the UK for Fury vs Joshua - personally I hope that happens in April, although i'm not holding out much hope.

Also, you can't really think that the Fury vs Wilder rematch gets even close to 1 Million US buys can you? I mean do you think that the American public will buy three times the amount of PPV's, compared to the first fight, to watch a fighter (Wilder) who was so comprehensively out boxed? Especially when he has even less hope of winning a rematch.
