    I agree with Bob.

    Hearn has misplayed the chess pieces & is making Joshua look weak & silly.

    They need to stick to a script better, they need to stop the public negotiations & they need to move into the states for one fight a year to maximize their reach & drawing power alf#ckingready.

    If they were truly maximizing Joshua's potential selling power he'd already have had a couple defenses in the states & maybe they'd be selling some small % of US afternoon PPV's for his UK fights.

          Lol did you pass jr high? He said he had fury winning 8 rounds to 4 with 2 of the rounds he lost in being 8 points instead of 9.

          Now let's do some simple math.
          8 rounds scored 10 points a piece = 80 + two rounds he got dropped in at 8 points a piece (80+8+8)and you get 96. Now theres 2 rounds left that he lost at 9 points a piece. 96+9+9=114

          Wilder won 4 rounds(10 points each) and lost 8 rounds(9 points in each). 10 x 4 (which is the same as 10 +10 +10 +10) or is 40 and 9 x 8 (which is the same as 9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9) is 72. 40 + 72 = 112.

          So in conclusion no him having fury up 8 rounds to 4 is not a 113-113 draw it actually comes to a fury victory 114-112.

          If you need anymore math lessons feel free to ask.

              Can’t really argue with what Arum said

              AJ can stay at home and still make a killing even though from a outsiders view his brand has taken a bit of hit in the UK with everything that has transpired

              I think there’s no doubt that the way AJ and his team moved over to DAZn and how they handled the Wilder negotiations and allowed Fury to take the fight has absolutely killed his brand in North America

              He doesn’t need the North American market but his team hasn’t done him any favours if they ever plan on trying to make it there

              But then again all it takes is a win over Wilder or Fury and all would be forgotten

                You are correct! Joshua deliberately went after charles Martin, an ageing klitchko and an average parker when he could have challenged wilder instead but chose not to as wanted the 'low hanging fruit' lol

                  Fury beat Klitch in Germany and as we know now, it was no fluke. AJ in London almost got KOd by Klitch, that's hardly a good comparison. Parker won his vacant title on a home town decision vs Andy Ruiz. Povetkin was unmasked, and off the juice. Ranking isn't the whole story. The jump up in class, and the willingness to go get the money puts Fury on another level.

                  Go re-read the resume. Fury did beat klitschko and it was a great win. He beat wilder , technically a draw, a good win.

                  Joshua knocked klitschko out, and has beaten Parker and Povetkin who you may consider weak for x, y and z but nobody else took them on. Both are right up there as top 10 minimum.

                  Whyte has proven how tough he is too since the AJ loss, hopefully both Wilder and fury fight him too so the marker is more clear for comparison.

                  Wilder for example has openly ducked klitschko and Whyte whilst also avoiding the opportunity to unify with Parker. I wouldn’t say fury ever really ducked anyone because he was not really considered at that level hence him fighting chisora twice while if Joshua faced Chisora (or anyone outside top10) there would be an outcry.

Right now Wilder & Fury got better things to do, like being BRAVE....Team-Panty Hearn wouldve preferred the 'Bum MONEY Tour' 'admittedly' without conveniently facing Wilder (for "TEN YEARS") OR Fury for that matter,...Now Anphony & Fast Eddie has to jump through hoops that Miller doesnt have worry about not fittin' thru....they NEED him now!! Whyte might as well fight Ortiz and prove what he can do against some of that southpaw artistry !!
                    Name me one no hoper he’s fought.
