        And he ****s on about Wilder refusing to fight Joshua ....a ridiculous man!

        Smith and BJ should fight each other .Only problem is one looks spectacular he never gets the fight.
        Lol you comment as if Hearn doesn't make that exact point re having the same issues trying to secure Joshua opponents. That is literally the whole point of his comments.

        Unfortunately superstars at this level have to "overpay" due to the numbers they generate, and then they've created a market rate that is the new baseline expected for fighting them.. he literally says that lol

        All promoters are snakes, and all fighters are here to get paid. Its called PRIZEFIGHTING for a reason... If you want to see the best ranked boxers face each other without fail, start following the amateurs.

          Hypocrisy at it's best. Hearn and fanatics.

          What Hearn does well is tell you a whole story, including the motivation and thoughts of opposing fighters and promotions. Then HIS story is on the street until the media tracks down the opposition to get a rebuttal.

            Lol ...read it again! I'm fully aware of how it works and how the marquee fighters have to pay over the odds to get opponents hence the reason everyone wants to fight fighters like Mayweather ,Pac etc but the point you so miss is the Hearn ,Joshua , Wilder situation .Do yourself a favour have another look and if you still think Hearn was overpaying Wilder @15% ...think again!!

              It wasn't long ago that Charlo was getting criticized for supposedly turning down offers to fight Canelo last May. Now it's Smith and Saunders too! Makes me think the real problem might be GBP?

                GBP is offering Callum smith 3 or 4 times his highest career purse so no, the problem isn't GBP.

                  The simple solution is Gilberto Ramirez in a winner take all bout!

                    I'm more into "percentages" than the "career high purse." I think anyone holding a belt deserves at least 33% of the pie! I think any fighter demanding more than that from Canelo is crazy, but accepting less than that is crazy too!
