Comments Thread For: Hearn: With Fury's Deal, Wilder Should Now Shift Focus To Joshua

[Curt Henning]

I agree with Hearn on this one. Maybe if the fury fight falls through Wilder will shift to AJ. I think wilder will want to keep the ball rolling with the success of his last fight being on PPV.

i honestly think some of this is arum trying to spite haymon

wilder did have the ball rolling...good fight against ortiz...then a ppv fight....and another ppv fight rematch on the horizon.....arum knows wilder is one of haymons prize guys right now....wilder was building momentum and a profile

arum claims he tried to get danny garcia for crawford....garcia is the weakest link in haymons top WW names....hes behind porter, thurman and spence...arum went for haymons low hanging fruit....if haymon had said "lets talk spence/crawford ive got a fair deal for both of us" old bob would have hit him back with the "well that fights not big enough yet..i want it to be a big ppv and neither guy is there yet"...guaranteed

I rarely agree with anything Hearn says. But, he’s on the money here. I don’t fault Fury for for going out and making a move that’s financially beneficial for himself and his family. But when looking at boxing politics. The move is gonna make making fights with one of the other “Big Three” heavyweights tough to make. So when it comes to Wilder. Instead of d1cking around with Arum, who clearly doesn’t want the Wilder-Fury rematch to be next. He should move on to AJ.

problem is wilder's team failed miserably to make a deal with hearn and it got pretty heated lol. hearn's probably going to try to get wilder to sign to dazn.

hearn saying exactly what i been saying

whatever two sides get in bed first here will leave the 3rd party the b-side to the winner

someone should ask hearn if wilder's team is still ignoring his phone calls lol

if hearn is serious im sure they will listen...but he was never serious and everyone from the UK blamed him....fury, lennox, froch, khan...guys that fight for him....and guys that were even bout to fight on his card=parker......

if hearn is serious than im sure finkel and everyone will listen

Wilder vs Fury is still happening.. Wilder is a (free "network" Agent) with zero ties to any platform and can fight where ever he pleases.. This fight is next!!! Sorry Eddie spaghetti!

If Wilder really agrees to fight Kownacki, he will not fight anyone from the top any more because Kownacki will simply win either by KO or by decision. In Wilder's shoes I'd do anything to fight Fury or Joshua now, even for less amount of money than he wants.

and you think hearn and gaymon don't hate each other. these two clowns couldn't even get one of the biggest fights in boxing done LMAO!

meh...i dont think they like each other much....but its not nearly the type of animosity that bob arum has for haymon....i think hearn and haymons people could get the deal done.....

you have to remember...arum was desperate for a name crawford fight...he claims he tried to get danny garcia....danny is the weakest link in haymons top 4 WW's.....arum went for the low hanging haymon fruit in order to try to use dannys name....al wasnt having it....danny could become a gatekeeper for haymon...a broner type......and arum is so pissed about it.....

but i guarantee if you haymon went to arum and said "ive got a fair deal for you....lets do spence/crawford"...ole bob would clench up "oh well its not a big enough fight yet...neither guy is a superstar...i wanna do a big ppv when both guys are superstars"...

arum cant stand that haymon is the power broker in the sport now....and that he took floyd and turned him into a megastar...i doubt theres any real animosity between haymon and hearn

Whatever happens, I am sure uncle Bob wants the Wilder fight!
1st- Wilder is going to loose and badly
2nd-That will make him lots of money
3rd-Leverage for the Joshua fight.

Wilder is the looser here because he cannot win against Fury or Joshua.

So is Hearn saying that furys new deal could possibly stop the fury fight from happening?
