Comments Thread For: Barry Hearn Explains Why Fury vs. Joshua Makes Sense To Do Next

[Mindgames]

Barry you greedy sod! Stop telling the fight fans what we wanna see. All you and your son care about is who makes the most money out of our pockets smdh!
Getting soooo bored of listening to these leech promoters sucking the blood money out of our sport.
How the hell can you guarantee both Wilder and Pulev a shot at the belts next?
Get lost with AJ to Dubai or Saudi and go get all the oil money your bank accounts need to create your “legacy”.
Since all your kind care about is cash, consider this then.....
Wilder, Fury et al don’t need AJ....AJ needs them and the purse split needs to reflect that, I’d say a 85-15% split in the Gypsy Kings favour. After all Fury is known worldwide for being the undefeated champ of the planet. AJ best known for getting known for eating big right hands and getting KTFO by Ruiz.

So what fight would you rather see at heavyweight? Wilders known for getting bashed up by Fury and making two months of excuses, Ruiz is known for not landing a single punch on AJ in the rematch, Pulev was smashed by Wlad years ago and Whyte was flattened by AJ already. Wheres the better fight?

I see where Eddie gets his arrogance from

Are you seriously trying to debate that the fans don't want to see Fury vs AJ?

Embarrassing to even suggest it. Clearly the fight everyone wants and the fight that should be next in boxing terms.

No one wants Fury vs Wilder 3 or AJ vs Pulev right now.

speak for yourself buddy. AJ had his chance at undisputed but played games during the first wilder negotiations than chose to fight Povetkin instead. Fury came out of retirement because in his words AJ didn’t want to fight wilder. Now all of a sudden AJ wants undisputed? Well he had his chance. Now he had to wait in the back of the que with his bum fight against Pulev. Best advice for U AJ fans: pray that wilder loses the trilogy. Because if wilder wins everyone knows you’ll be back to condoning the A side Anthony bs that got in the way of undisputed happening in the first place.

We'll just overlook AJ getting flattened, run out of NY, and going defensive to protect his chin. I want to see the fight, but acting like AJ isn't afflicted won't make it any better.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

I ain't goin lie. If those two were to really rumble I can see Tyson Fury fucking him up. AJ doesn't have the chin for the Kronk gym style

No, but who hasn't been flattened? Wilder got knocked down and pasted, Whyte got flattened, and so did Pulev. The AJ fight still seems a level above those.

[REDEEMER]

Hilarious when the Wilder fans get so rattled by this possibility. They know if AJ does something Wilder can’t its then Wilder vs AJ a fight they really don’t want and a nightmare match up for Wilder who has more chances landing a K.O blow to Fury .

Barry is right , if fighters wanted to get the most money then Wilder sits on the sidelines and gets a huge pay day himself in undisputed which I said all along . Wilder fans seem to want this guy to retire fast because that’s the most likely scenario in a third Fury fight .

[ShoulderRoll]

There's a contract in place mandating Wilder vs Fury 3.

It doesn't matter what the Hearns want.

[Detroit29]

First off, Hearn ask how can Wilder and Fury be paid without the live gate? How can Fury and AJ be laid without a live gate? The whole world is at a stand still right now so nobody will be at the Fury/AJ fight if it came off.

Second, THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES IN BOXING when it comes to certain things. So let's play the what if game. Let's say Fury/AJ negotiate. There is going to be a rematch clause in the contract. That's guaranteed. And they could even do what Wilder/Fury did and that is the loser gets to exercise a third fight. So now you have Wilder, Pulev and Usyk waiting for a good while. BUT....

If i were Wilder and Pulev, i would bleed the investors/Hearn/Arum/Warren and all those involved to the tune of 25 million and i wouldn't budge. Even if i knew i couldn't gwt that much i would hold my ground. Why? In Wilders case, he has the belt he had defended ten times and lost it to a great fighter. And now he had the chance to get it back. Many people are suggesting Wilder take a tune up and work out the quirks with his new team he is bringing on board. And many are saying go right back at Fury. It's a gamble either way.

I say Wilder ia doing the right thing by going right back at Fury. He has nothing to lose here. If he wins, he gets his belt back and confidence at the same time. He has plenty of opportunities to take on tune ups. Or he just hang em up if he loses to Fury. He is not hurting for money.
