Comments Thread For: Fury vs. Joshua: Hearn Aims To Nail Down Two-Fight Deal

[Squared.Circle]

Wow I've never heard Hearn so adamant to make a unification fight. Let's see if Eddie keeps that same energy if Wilder knocks out Fury in the 3rd fight.

Offers of $12.5m, $15m and $100m sound pretty adamant to me.

Wilder has had 19 rounds to knock Fury out and came close once, when Fury got complacent.

Why not? Now everyone knows that, Wilder has no legs and no chin. Wilder can't learn to box, and now everyone knows why hed never fought a young decent puncher. Still, none of this will happen. Wilder is wrecked, he needed a rebuilding stage, hes not going to get it. He's confidence is gone. This is cash out time.

He always had that energy when Joshua has fights lined up.

I find it hilarious how AJ says in an iFL TV interview “Wilder only wants to fight me when I have an opponent scheduled”...then a year later Wilder’s saying “AJ only wants to fight me when I have an opponent scheduled” LOL literally the dimmest heavyweight champion in history.

Pay the necessary STEP ASIDE money and make Fury v AJ first otherwise it may never happen with both as Champs and will lose its luster!!!

If Wilder gets that one lucky punch and beats Fury, undisputed will never happen. Wilder has a documented track record for avoiding a fight with AJ. DAZN, Sky Sports and Elon Musk could all chip in and offer him $500m...he’d still find some excuse to turn it down.

Hearn acts like he's in the driver seat of making this fight. Fight isn't happening on DAZN, Arum would not allow that especially with ESPN wanting to make it a PPV fight. Only way this fight happens is if AJ and Hearn agree to make this a ESPN ppv fight in Vegas.

if you think those flat fee offers were good then Hearn should make those same exact offers to Fury and let’s see how far the negotiations will go

Daft Eddie said only a couple of days ago that Wilder would take step aside money a couple of days later he's saying this.Eddie Hearn is not worth listening to he's a total blagger and talks nonsense.If it wasn't for his dad he would be a nobody.Bob and advice from Frank will get this done if Eddie's involved and trying his usual takeover the big boys will move on.

Idk about this being a trilogy. I think AJ has less tools to beat Tyson than Wilder had. If Wilder couldn't stop Tyson I have lil confidence AJ can. And while AJ is a better boxer than Wilder he ain't got sh^t on Tyson in that category. I think the most likely way I could see AJ winning is by some sketchy ref stoppage which would help sell the rematch & maybe keep a trilogy intact. Overall it feels like a 80/20, maybe best case 70/30 Tyson leaning fight.

Dude Fury was scared to even fight a top-20 boxer. Clearly AJ can cause him problems. Styles make fights. Even Wilder landed good punches on Fury.

actually Hearn and AJ have a documented track record of being pricks and offering flat fees for an undisputed fight of this magnitude which is considered a non starter
