    was AJs dad out of line?

    i do understand the father/son relationship and the protective nature of parents

    but sooner or later you have to be realistic

    the joshuas have made aloottttttt of money....so hearn set up another nice payday which was in turn going to set up some hugeeee paydays....and this was just the natural course to plot for AJ......

    you cant just pull out of this thing cause you dont feel right.....i cant fault hearn one bit....at a certain point they were passed the point of no return

    We have to know what he was angry about before we can answer that question. It’s a lot of stuff that goes on behind the scenes that we are not aware of.

      The dad isn't doing him any favors if he's outing his son's mental weaknesses. The guy shouldn't be allowed near AJ in future fights if he's trying to stop fights, screaming at Hearn in the ring, talking about back-stage stuff after the fight, etc.

        He knew it was going to happen would you let your son go out there knowing he about to get his ass kicked and embarrassed infront of the world 🤔

          He's upset because AJ is now Andy's son?

            i was more or less talking about him jawing at hearn when ruiz was being interviewed...it seemed he was upset at hearn and AJ had to talk his dad down

            i cant put any fault on hearn...theres a "no return" point on a fight like this....if AJ was having nerves in miami he should have caught an "injury"...but he came to NY and theres no turning back imo

                nah i dont think i would....like i said...i understand the protective nature of parents

                but was he about to return any money to hearn that they had earned in prior fights to repay hearn for cancelling the event? i bet he wasnt........hearn has made them alot of money( i know probably any promoter could have but thats not the point) and i feel like it was too late to cancel anything...like someone mentioned in another thread "this is highstakes prizefighting"....he had to man up....which i guess he did if he didnt really wanna go out there......but AJs dad getting all pissy with hearn is just bad form imo.......he should have ****** it up with some class the way his son did

                  He’s probably mad cause Hearn turned down wilder and fury for that bs and now they’re B side

                    well...lol...maybe

                    but i doubt he was thinking about that right then and there in the ring...i think something was up with AJ and his dad and others wanted out and hearn said no.....
