    So aj has CLEARLY STATED he rules out facing wilder anytime soon. But that doesn't stop this slimeball eddie hearn from using the "prospect and idea of a wilder(who's not signed to hearn) fight to market his other piece of **** talent roster. Honestly at this point, I can carry less about these ***** ass brits and those **** belts. Wilder needs to just focus on being 50-0 49kos in America while the domestic Dodgers in the uk face Europeans

        This news is bad news for the fans .Eddie has got massive money for the two fighters and himself from S.A. but still he charges the biggest price ever for a uk PPV .I supose the way he rips the fans off with his Stub hub antics can't be used here so he has to squeeze the fans another way.I like Joshua but would like to see the Hearns out of the picure!

              more confirmation that he is still obsessed with landing Deontay Wilder on dazn. Not having Joshua fight wilder, that’s not a priority, controlling wilder’s career and having access to the wilder fam base is for another 300k-1m subscribers (at least paying for one month) for dazn.

                90 million dollar fight?
                Snake oil Eddy. You lose money this time to make money later. Less is best.

                  This is the beef I have with Hearn more than any. IGNORE a country's massive human rights violations.... all in the name of more money. Seems to be a recurring theme as years pass by. Like Vegas or NYC or London doesn't bring in more than enough money to finance a big fight.

                  The strict regime ruling Saudi Arabia is consistently ranking among the "worst of the worst" in Freedom House's annual survey of political and civil rights. Many people take freedom for granted, and are just too lazy to bother researching just how bad it is in SA. They engage in capital punishment, including public executions by beheading. The death penalty can be imposed for a wide range of offences including obviously murder... but also for drug use, apostasy, adultery, witchcraft, sorcery... even for merely politically protesting... and can be carried out by beheading with a sword, stoning or firing squad, followed by crucifixion. Saudi Arabia is a destination country for men and women trafficked for the purposes of slave labor and commercial sexual exploitation. Women's rights are not anywhere near fair and equal. It is common for women to be imprisoned and given hundreds of lashes with a whip... for being ****d if they cannot prove **** happened. One man got 200 lashes and 10 years in prison, merely for making tweets critical of Islam, and denying the existence of God. Torture is carried out on a large scale. Hardcore racism and antisemitism are rampant. Saudi Arabian government officials and state religious leaders often promote the idea that ***s are conspiring to take over the entire world. These are just a few examples of just how disgusting SA is with regards to human rights.

                  I don't expect boxing fans to care en masse about all this, but I myself would never go there or go to any nation that had anywhere near as dismal of a human rights record as SA does. And before you scoff, just remember you yourself would be whining your guts out if you were denied basic human rights.
