[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

So it won’t be on DAZN then?

Hearn has said before, DAZN doesn't have exclusive rights to matchroom fights. They have the option to match any offer and acquire the rights. They let Whyte's last fight go to Showtime because DAZN didn't want to match the offer.

Lol. Nope, this fight would end up on showtime PPV in america. This is why Wilder didn't sign the agreed 15m offer to fight in the UK.

I thought PPV was dead in America? 😂

Just curious if Hearn mentioned Vegas? As if Madison Square Garden was talked about 2 years ago...

So 50 million was peanuts? If it was peanuts Joshua would've asked for 80 million? lol Hearn and team are the best liars

The problem with that he won't see any 15 million of he loses to Fury. Also it was a 50 million generated money in the U.K then. 15 million is 30% so he's playing a game of chicken ( literally ) and it's not smart at all.

Exactly. The Wilder bubble will burst.

Yes he will.

Wilder vs Fury 2 needs 3x closure from boxing fans that loved their first fight.

If the marketing build goes well, along with Joe Rogan and friends talking about the rematch - and which we all know UFC fans gravitate to Heavyweights - then the PPV success of the rematch does 3x.

Why do you think Hearn has insecurities talking about Wilder vs Fury rematch. Notice how he OPENLY refers to profits? Is Hearn afraid that Fury will be a bigger draw than Joshua in the UK? If Fury wins, business wise, Joshua and Hearn still benefit for AJ vs Fury.

This is how we know Hearn is just nervous with AJ 2019 and what's happening with Wilder vs Fury 2 rematch success

I hope he wins for the sake of the undisputed. Thats if he is willing to make the fight. I don't think Fury/Joshua would be easy to make with Hearn/Warren (Skysports/BT sports).
