Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder To DAZN Is the Only Way Joshua Fight Gets Done

[teamindividual]

That doesn't even make sense , Skipper cannot make the deal without Hearns consent that his fighter or him is satisfied . He basically just said that, only a Wilder fan can twist such simple words around or fail to comprehend them Ha

Every time Hearn farts he needs to do a 30 minute IFL interview about it, just stfu already...

aside from Garcia X Errol, this year will be horrible for boxing. The heavy weights will be dead - no AJxWilder, FuryxWilder, AJ-Fury - Loma once again will not fight anything worth mentioning, Canelo just makes loads of money and GGG will fight some guy.

I could go on, but it's just not worth it

Yeah please stop! It's obvious you don't know shet about boxing!

You nailed it. Hearn feeling left out lol.

Feeling left out? This is literally a whole article of Hearn saying how fantastic it is that Skipper is mediating you couldn't get more delusional if you tried..

When I read you post, I imagined a person, looking much like your profile picture, straining to type because your eyes hurt. Then I thought, his eyes probably hurt from thinking really hard and trying to figure out how to say something intelligent.

ah it's about looking good ...

Well in the other corner you have a guy arrested for beating and strangling a woman and a guy who was in court for stealing his fighters money while he was laid up in hospital ..

it's going to be tough for Hearn to top that.

Who cares who looks good, who cares what Wilder is paid as long as he's happy an fights Joshua.

by all accounts they are offering him a vast amount of money to fight Joshua in the States for unification ...

and Wilder says I'll think about it !!!

Not a good look for Eddie having someone else do his job.

It's like when your supervisor tells you step aside and does the job that they pay you to do.

Not a good look at all.

How the heck do you come up with that interpretation of Skipper making an offer to Wilder? He's not Hearn's boss but he certainly isn't Hearn's puppet either!

Get over it dude. We know whose company it is and it's definitely not Matchroom Sport's either. Skipper is the main boss while Eddie is an associate partner since Skipper was the one who hired him to be in charge of DAZN's boxing content.

Hearn says, "So, he’s gotta be the one to go, ‘What do you need? All right. OK, what do you need? Right. You’re done. And right now I’ve gotta do you, and then it’s done.’ I mean, it could be that quick."

This went past many of you. Particularly kaftod and Robbie. DAZN will not be negotiating on behalf of anyone other than DAZN.

If they are negotiating a deal involving AJ, they will be negotiating on behalf of Hearn. It's Hearn who has a contract with AJ, not DAZN.

This thread illustrates how ****** and biased Wilder/PBC fanboys/Hearn haters are. They want to gloat about Wilder and DAZN going over Hearn's head and criticise him for being a road block at the same time!

You don't hire an associate partner. You work in association with him.

Now make up your mind .. is Skipper negotiating a deal for his company, with his company's money, or is Hearn spending Skipper's money for him?

You can't have it both ways.

That will be lost on many. The reason why you don't see Al is because he only cares about what makes the most money in the long run. Period.

Fighting on Showtime is making money in "the long run"? The fact of the matter is the entire paradigm of the sport is changing an Al doesn't have TOTAL control of the Sport though he's one of the big players. For certain guys it would benefit them to fight on different platforms. Is Danny Jacobs complaining being advised by Al and NOT being under the "PBC Umbrella"? He's about to fight Canelo Alvarez. Would he if he stuck around "The Umbrella"? How is Charlo sticking around FOX / Showtime a good "Long Term" plan when his biggest money fights are currently on DAZN? If Wilder signs this deal it'll further confirm that these dudes under Al REALISTICALLY can make the moves they WANT to make. He's not their promoter.

No my guy. It illustrates how emotionally charged you get in responding. It illustrates how easily you will confuse an issue because you're more focused on "attacking" someone than communicating.

Here's how desperate you are in this regard. In the article, Hearn acknowledges that his involvement is a roadblock (whether its his fault or not) and that the deal could possible get done since it won't be a deal between him and Finkel or him and Wilder. So, recognizing that DAZN is a broadcast outfit and not a promoter, seems fitting that they would just broker INDIVIDUAL deals with each fighter as Hearn indicates in the quoted language in my post.
