Comments Thread For: Whyte vs. Breazeale The Target For April 20, Says Hearn

[Ray*]

Unless they pay Breazeale out of his nose I cannot see how this fight happens.

A whole bunch of maybes and nothing solid. Good ole matchroom a bunch of wishy washy bull$---ter$. Breazeale blah blah blah Ortiz blah blah blah blah Wilder blah blah blah blah blah blah Fury blah blah blah. Pu$$y ass UK heavyweights won't fight anyone worth note. ALL TALK NO ACTION.

well wilders the one guy they definitely tried to fight but wilder wasn't willing to give up judge selection. even for 7 million dollars and we saw how that paid off for him against fury

[IMDAZED]

It’s possible. Just not on DAZN.

They would need to pay Breazele same or more he would have made fighting Wilder. At least that would make financial sense. Deep down Breazele must know he is no champion material so unless it's a butt load of money, why would he risk his ranking? Whyte would be favourite for sure

[lefthooklead]

Hearn is under serious pressure to deliver now. This AJ saga has lost him a lot of popularity. On top of that his output has been terrible for DAZN and his Sky cards have reduced in depth and quality as well.

Whyte just proved to me that he is nothing more than the Clown..
This man just turned down an opportunity to fight for 3 of the 4 World titles in the HW division.. He is acting like a little diva just like his sister AJ

Bro Wilder just done the same thing just stop please

Whyte thought as Joshua's "best" option outside of Wilder and Fury that he could drive up his side of the purse fee, but his bluff was called. Now it looks like Joshua is making his USA debut against Miller, which may be the better long term option for his career.
This left Whyte with 3 realistic options which were openly mentioned; Breazeale, Ortiz and Pulev. In terms of talent and ability, Breazeale is the easiest option of the 3 but as he is Wilder's "mandatory" challenger (surely the point of naming a mandatory challenger is to give them a title shot) he's the one the makes most sense from a career standpoint.
Surely the WBC will not sanction a 3rd Wilder-Fury fight as that would take their belt off the market to others for the best part of 2 years in total - so if Whyte beats Breazeale then Hearn is laughing his ass off as he would then hold Wilder's next 2 options for opponents.

[Jax teller]

Same night as Khan really??

They was looking at linking the PPV's as a possibility, atleast thats what they said in that interveiw as Whyte is supposed to be fighting in the UK and Top Rank want Khan v Crawford PPV in the UK even though its 5 in the morning Sunday.
