Comments Thread For: Joshua-Fury Fight Not Likely, Despite Promoters on Good Terms

[giant_king]

I don't think the promoters and boxing governing bodies wants that right now.a.j would win easily.the boxing organization sees the hw division making a comeback with these 3 top hw so they're stalling as long as possible to make the fights.they want to keep this suspense thing going on as long as possible to make fans want to see these fights even more.and a lost to deontay a.j Tyson would ruine that

What a surprise two conmen posing as promoters not making a good fight. SHOCKER.

Yes he was! My thing is, if Joshua has a "fight-by-fight" contract with DAZN, then why did Hearn say "the only way for this fight to EVER happen" is for Wilder to sign a multi-fight contract with DAZN? Obviously that's the ONLY way!

Yeah I remember that comment too, “if you want to fight a dazn fighter you must be a dazn fighter” was the statement and I remember Ellie Sechbach asked DLH about that after he signed with dazn and dlh responded with “Eddie Hearn is his own promoter, we have our own deal with dazn”, and said he was open to sending his fighters to fight on networks other than dazn. He did with the Loma fight so....I also remember Hearn toned that down shortly after that, when he kept losing purse bids and his fighters fighting on ESPN like the Maurice hooker fight a few months back. Hearn really thought every American fighter of note was going to jump ship and sign with him just because.....he thought all those threats and insults to PBC fighters would result in capitulation. All he needed was his pith hat, khaki shorts, a pipe, and a flat hand salute and he would have been a proper imperialist for the “empire.” He has since been humbled, probably by skipper, and toned all that down. He must have really been believing all the “Hearn is taking over America” propaganda that his online troll army was pushing

Hearn has never said that.

If you think he did, try finding that quote and post a link to it here.

Yeah that’s a flat out lie by that poster. Hearn is on record saying they would fight on whichever network put the biggest money offer on the table. Some of these guys think Hearn and Joshua are as dumb as Finkel and Wilder. They are not going to turn down 20m on showtime to fight for 5 on DAZN.

Like I've always thought it's the promoters more than the fighters blocking big fights. You mean to tell me they can put on Khan vs Crawford for ppv, they can make Crolla vs Loma but they can't figure out how to make Fury vs AJ SMH That's a bunch of crap lol

Didn't they turn down 50m to not fight on Showtime and only got a piece of that to fight pedvetkin on dazn???

I think AJ should take this fight, even for "short" money. I think it's a much easier fight for him than Wilder, for a huge payday.

Heck, if I'm AJ, I take this fight and retire afterward. He'd make $20million USD easily, and most likely retire with his faculties in tact.

I can't see Fury posing the same threat from a physical standpoint as Wilder, that's for sure.

Fury wipes the ring with with both of them.

AJ is levels below Fury and woind get stopped late. At least Wilder brings an element of unpredictability, AJ is readable, and textbook, and slow. Fury would eat him alive and Hearn knows it, and wants to stay clear from that beating.
