Comments Thread For: Frank Warren: Hearn's Offer is Nowhere Near What Fury is Worth

[kafkod]

But what people? Hearn himself admits the IBO isn't a proper title.

It's really just Eubank's dad pretending the IBO is a real belt and those who want Eubank Jr to fight for them having to humor him. Surely you're not claiming the IBO is a recognized world championship simply because Eubank's dad says so?

I already told you I'm not claiming anything for the IBO. All I'm saying is that people and organisations involved in boxing do recognise them and treat their titles as legit when it suits their purposes to do so, and it's not just the Eubanks who have done that.

Warren demands 50/50 for a fight with AJ but will take 40/60 for Wilder

Nothing more needs to be said

In fairness to old fish eyes, we don't know if he will accept 60/40 for Wilder. That's not Warren's asking price, it's the split mandated by the WBC if it goes to a bid.

He could still say no to it, they could say we won the first fight, we got jobbed. We want 50-50 or no fight.

Yet Joshua has the best resume in the division(Povetkins is deeper) and is recognized by boxrec as a clear number one...

He might have done just that. When a mandated fight gets made without a purse bid, that usually means the challenger has been offered more than his mandatory cut.

Hopefully it doesn't go into a purse bid.

Eddie Hearn wouldn't agree with that!
