Hearn: If Joshua Wins Rematch, He's Bigger Star Than Before Loss


Eddie Hearn, promoter for Anthony Joshua, says the boxer's career will be at stake in the rematch with Andy Ruiz. ...

Just NO!...

... even if Hearn gives Ruiz $100 mln in order to lose the rematch, AJ is (and will be) done!!!

[DaNeutral.]

Are you dim? the PBC sets up mismatches are you blabber on about that, Hearn does the same (actually worse mismatches on paper) When the favourites dont get the easy showcase wins they have been set up for and are battered by the underdog you say, look, great competitive card!

No, when I sit and watch a competitive card I type on here that I saw a competitive card.

[P4P Forever]

Sounds like you Americans dont know a competitive card when you see one. Haymon been setting up too many mismatches for you guys? Giving you guys easy wins on a plate.

And Eddie Hearn dont need to clown Wilder, the man clowns himself. Had so many opportunities to face AJ by now and fight for those belts and never did. He said he gambled on himself by not fighting AJ yet he has watched somebody else make a career high pay day and take the belts from Joshua. Good gamble Deontay Ruiz has just stepped over you by ACTUALLY ******** on himself.

The fights may have been completive but Hearn's guys all lost all of em is the point!!!! Don't bring Al into this. Us guys know a bias sore loser when we hear one, you! By the way PBC put on Hurd Williams that was easy win on the plate. Alexander was upset another easy win. I don't even think you know what the hell your talking about. Eddie blew it real bad. Went from booking Wimberly 90000 seats last year and having to cancel it after failing for 6 months to get a fight for you guys. ****ed over Whyte along the way. Cherry picked a unproven peds popping300 + lbs fatty for $6-7M until that failed as well! Could of fought Ortiz from the beginning but no. Now AJ at the bottom. Ortiz signed to fight Wilder rematch already signed to fight Fury rmatch aswell while remaining a free agent. Wilder fighting the best rated fighter on the planet while AJ and Hearn Cherry picking! Gone wrong!!!! Wilder who just KOed his mandatory (KO1) is the clown. (chuckle) Your totally delusional!
Wilders on top of the world and remained true to himself along the way as I and many others see it. PBC got all the belts and Matchroom got hella losses in the last month on top of there golden goose getting cooked bad! AJ went from the top to bottom in short time great job on that. AJ took 8 rds to KO Brezeale Wilder KOed him in 1. Stop being a total fake and get real. You know you Worship AJ and Hearn so you salty. Sour really. your arguments so weak keep drinking that kool aid you need it.

Im literally starting to think Hearn has a computer room set up for stogies to spot off and make up garbage about fighter he doesn't rep. Doesn't matter how bad Hearn and company lose they always got excuses and since Wilders winning its his fault. Always backing Matchroom no mater what. Are you under mind control. Need a part time job? How much dose Matchroom pay you for this? Why you acting like Hearn did well when he got cooked big time in his showcase fight in the USA. DaNeutral is living proof of this. Doesn't even have a clue. Guess if you lose you got to make excuses for Hearn and talk ****e about Wilder and PBC. That's almost as good as winning!

Mike Tyson grew in stock after his defeat to Buster Douglas, it was just the jail time which messed things up. I agree with Eddie Hearn's statements, if Joshua wins the rematch it makes him a bigger superstar 'We have seen the aura of invincibility exposed now' people don't idolize the Rocky Balboa movies because he won every-time he fought.

After reading the article, i understand that the rematch clause does not guarantee the rematch in UK. He is saying that the first fight happened in Ruiz country so that the rematch should happen in UK. Come on Eddie, you will be dealing with Al and it won't be that easy. Please give the fans some truth.

That's what we're all trying to understand right now, how the rematch clause covers location. Exact words being:

'...The rematch is so important to his career, we went to Ruiz's country so I expect the next one to take place in the UK...'

This isn't necessarily inconsistent with Hearn having control over location, it might be just that other locations are open to consideration still. Wish we knew the rematch wording.

Mike Tyson is a special case - at the time he fought Buster, he was already embarked on a destructive lifestyle and his performance in the ring suffered as a result.

Mike had some success after Douglas, but he was trading on the declining skills he picked up in his early career and any post-Buster success was a shadow of his true potential as his lifestyle gradually consumed him.

The jail time was just a part of a bigger picture of self-destruction.

Rematch won’t happen.

Ruiz is A side. Eddie will pull some crap.

The champ dictates the terms now. And the champ is represented by Al Haymon.

Yes he was trading on decline skills, but he was pretty much some sort of mythological bench Mark throughout the entire 90's, even up until he fought Lennox Lewis.

But yes I agree he was a special case.
