Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn: We Must See Joshua vs. Wilder-Fury Winner

[uppercut510]

Hearn will say this then a week later aj is interviewed and says he wants 70/30, and his fans will justify it smh

[STREET CLEANER]

Lol .. we have come a long way from
Hearn offering 7 million pounds to fight Joshua and Whyte being thrown in as a pre requirement

We also have come a long way when Joshua said, accept the amount or we would freeze your career.

Hearn fanboys are going to get offended with this post.

You would think most boxing fans would be on the same page with this, regardless of who they like more or how they feel about Hearn. A unified champion is clearly a good thing for the sport and AJ vs the winner is the most commercially viable fight in the division if not in all of boxing. Plus the likely alternative is Fury and Wilder spending the next year plus fighting guys that arent top 10 level and then in mid/late 2021 facing each other again for no particular reason. In which case the division doesnt progress at all because the belts still wont be unified and the alleged top two wont face anyone but each other so we never really know how good they truly are relative to everyone else.

But sadly some people are so wrapped up in the war between promoters/promotions that it matters more to them that Hearn is sad and AJ gets shut out than belts being unified and the biggest possible fights happening.

id love to see it, but when will him and aj be on the same page? aj just had an interview where hes saying he wants 70/30 vs wilder still living in la la land, him demanding more is ok but 70/30 is basically saying he doesn't want the fight

Oh STFU already, Eddie. We ALL know nobody cares about AJ like that, regardless of him beating Ruiz in the rematch.

You know damn well you're not gonna let AJ go out there and get cooked by either guy, so move on and keep matching him against cab drivers in the UK. That's his lane.

Let Wilder and Fury have their time since people actually care about this fight. Keep your frail HW where he belongs...away from top tier competition.

Let us enjoy the HW division without you and your ducking.

Poor Eddie running out of coke

Sometimes it's ok when the spotlight isn't on you, Eddie.

Hearn begging for the fight now AJ has become more and more irrelevant. You never see an AJ thread on here anymore unless it’s because of a Hearn quote article.

Those stadium fights will dry up in the next year, the ticket sales for his past few have been getting slower and not selling out.

Fury is the nations sweetheart now. Got his own documentary on prime time TV. His wife is becoming a celebrity too, on all the morning shows. It may seem silly but it counts for a lot when it comes to public perception.

In the eyes of the general public, AJ now is known as the fighter that got smashed by a fatty. He used to be the man for the casuals or general public but not anymore.

When/If Fury beats Wilder this weekend, AJ’s stardom in the UK will hit an all time low for sure. Eddie knows it and that’s why he keeps trying to get some attention around this big fight and attach AJ’s name to it, because he’s verging on becoming well in Fury’s shadow. He was already the joke of a nation last year, now if Fury goes and cements his place as the no.1 by beating Wilder, then AJ is old news.

People are very fickle.

AJ's last fight broke the UK PPV record I'd say that pretty much writes off most of your post as gibberish.

Are you from the UK? If so, I disagree that Tyson Fury is the nations sweetheart. Joshua appears in far more places than Fury.

Fury's reputation preceeds him and his past actions can be quick to be used against him so he is really walking the thin line. Yes, fans are fickel. They are quick to gloss over his personal views. As a boxing fan, I can't look the other way when it comes to his alledged doping.

Joshua on the other hand has been squeaky clean as a professional boxer. This whole perception by the 'public' is just your opinion. When I ask people if they are watching the fight this weekend, the answer is always the same; 'Is Joshua fighting?'...Wilder and Fury are firmly in the shadow of Joshua, at least where I am.

Joshua's popularity isn't affected by Tyson Fury winning this weekend. All that will happen is Tyson Fury's popularity will go up (if he wins). Trying to say that it is linked only shows that you like Fury over Joshua so lets not project your own opinion and call it fact.

Joshua irrelevance is in his own hands - he never really does articles or interviews. If he wants Hearn to do his talking then thats our loss. As soon as this fight is done, or when the trilogy fight is done - Joshua's relevance will soon blow these two fighters away ten-fold.

But you are right. Fans are fickel. No more Ruiz fans round here.

Either way - loving all the fight week stuff going on. Going to be a great fight.

He made his bed, now he has to lay in it. Nothing in life is free, we must pay for everything....including our words and actions
