Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Expect Wilder To Request Rematch - Where Else Can He Go?

[MDPopescu]

(...) The rematch clause said 60/40 split for Fury in the 3rd fight. That is still another 20-30 million for Wilder. (...) The only way it doesn't happen is if Wilder has a serious injury preventing him from fighting.

... Yes... in case Wilder is able to fight in good health, he will take the rubber match... another shitload of money...

Wake the fuc* up Eddie...17 rounds to 2, Gypsy King over Wilder in 2 fights...A trilogy fight for Fury would be the easiest fight for him...Tell Wilder to go beat a heavyweight contender before the trilogy happens! Bomb Squad is now the Shet Squad!!

He can start knocking out chinny club fighters again one after another, create a buzz again, and fight for a vacant title when the opportunity arises against an unheralded non puncher with a good record against foriegn nobodies.

This is how boxing works and cash cow hypejobs are created, you know this.

Didn't Bob Arum already said that Anthony Joshua was no longer elite. So what is Eddie Hearn carrying on about. Take a hint. Top Rank is not interested.

One thing I would say, which I’m surprised hasn’t come up. - is the choice of referee.

This isn’t a criticism of the referee but there are different types.

This one allowed a bit of dirty behaviour close up which suited fury down to the ground. He has done that before, I believe I even saw him referee previous fury fights?

If I was in wilders camp I would’ve been doing my research and making sure that type of referee was not picked.

People talk about USA vs uk fighters and this night actually be an occasion the uk ref helps wilder - would be better rematching in the uk?

Also I think Joshua against fury would potentially have the same question, although the one thing AJ does have is the close upper cut which might have more potential in a similar situation

A lot of people have talked about the ref and his blatant obvious attempts to save Wilder and give him time to recover... Are you blind or willfully ignorant?

Wilder needs to bypass the rematch and keep the trainer who threw in the towel and ditch the one who said to keep the fight going. Add a newer trainer that will work on his boxing And not just depending on the right hand and fight Fury at a later date after experience comes into play.

Rest for a year and give him a tune up fight

Wilder will 100% take Fury rematch. in his mind he will be blaming his leg or weight or whatever and he will want to get his belt back.

So if Joshua isnt elite and Wilder isnt elite, who is Fury going to fight? Wallin rematch?

I bet it was killing Hearn to see that live gate record, that amazing promotion, all those stars who came out, and the guaranteed money both got ad well as the backend money they’ll both get. That’s what real promotion looks like Edward.....much better than YouTube fights.
