Hearn confirms offers for Joshua fights:

[SeGoodland]

Watching that video (and a couple of others linked to it) should really send the message home to all of the people who say that Joshua is 'ducking' or a 'coward'.

40% split is unbelievable offer. I would have been just as happy (and I've said so before) if he said he'd offered 50% split just to get the fight made, but in reality 40% plus a 2 fight rematch is massive. Far more lucrative that anything they'd get in a rematch.

I completely agree with Hearn (cue the 'Of course you do fanboy' comments) but its a no-brainer. Fighting Joshua now is the more business savvy option. IF Fury and Wilder go at it again and one of them lose, they aren't going to ever be able to make that kind of money against anyone else.

40% of a fight against Joshua would be worth, what; £20m - £25m? Considering this would eclipse a lot of big heavyweights (if not all) in this current era, Fury and Wilder should be scrambling over one another to get this fight.

What else is there to lose? You get a huge payday and two shots at the title.

if this is true, BOTH Wilder and Fury should accept 40%

neither of them deserve more than 40% with Joshua

but I don't believe a word of it until I see a link

It's about the value of the fight. Does a fight with Wilder/Fury getting 45% mak more money than a fight with Whyte getting 35%

That happens all the time in boxing, moreover Kugan actually ask Hearn more questions (Tough ones) than he would ask any other promoter. Just because they have a friednly relationship doesn't mean he doesn;t ask those questions.

Do you think those guys at the LDBC community ask Finkle tough questions? Have you seen some of their interviews? They ask feeding questions that supports their own narrative, I saw an interview last week, where one of these LDBC was trying to convince Lou di bella that the 50m dollars money wasn't coming from BT sport....

Until Lou shut him down and told him? He was trying to get Lou to say the money from coming from Al.

Fact is boxing journalists get privileges from fighters, managers and promoters in this sport...Ask Fat Dan

LDBC community as in who? And what interview?

And Kugan doesn't always ask tough questions, not even close to it. And he will hedge it by having that awkward laugh to loosen up the mood. You know who does ask the right questions and is able to follow up right on spot? The Boxing Socialist guy.

Hearn basically made Kugan. He helps him out all the time, they're friends.

Looks like Kugan helps Hearn out as well with having the biggest youtube channel of any boxing scribe right?

When Kugan first started Hearn used to pay him a weekly wage, give him interviews and access etc. Hearn got Kugan to where he is now.

Do you watch the interveiws? He does make Eddie squirm some times for instance when Eddie said a US show was sold out and it wasn't and Eddie has asked why he gets grilled way more than the likes of Warren.

Think they're mates so Kugan gets away with doing more probing to get better veiws on his channel and Eddie goes along with the no publicity is bad publicity stance.

If he makes him "squirm" damn sure doesn't happen often. Look at how Kugan handled the Whyte/Chisora fight being on SHO and not DAZN compared to Boxing Social. Night and day.

Weekly wages to cover his shows? WTF?

Well, that explains a lot of things. Is Warren also paying Kugan to cover certain shows of his?

He doesn't now. This is when Kugan was a nobody just starting out. Hearn gave him an helping hand.

Will do, anything specific to look out for?

He definitely gets more info from Hearn than the rest plus he grilled AJ in his last one. Hearn started giving it back with this editing interveiws thing that has just popped up, that I assume is aimed at Warrens interveiws.
