Comments Thread For: Hearn Wants Whyte-Povetkin II To Happen in Late November, Explains Why

That all depends on your point of view thought doesn’t it? I think that Finkel and Wilder dodged Joshua like the plague and cherry picked Fury thinking it would be an easy win to pick up the BS lineal title which would have added bargaining power for a fight v Joshua down the line, but that all backfired didn’t it!?

You don’t turn down $120 million dollars to fight for a guaranteed two fight deal for undisputed just because he didn’t know what Joshua was getting. It’s compounded by the fact that Finkel had Wilder duck Klitschko because he wasn’t ready after 33 fights. Total BS IMHO.

That’s where fans butt heads because there is no fact in the matter. Only opinion/point of view.

$120m deal had no guarantee of aj title shot. AJ lost his titles to Ruiz and would not have even had titles or been available to fight Wilder.

$120m was a deal to get Wilder to ditch his entire promotional team he's had since day 1, in favor of dazn, and give full control to Eddie/dazn.

Those terms are unacceptable, Eddie knew it. Just a publicity stunt.

Don't know what you guys are on about there. Whyte has lost his mandatory position and there's zero chance of him getting it back in time to block the undisputed fight between Fury and AJ.

And if Hearn had been planning to use Dillian's mando spot as a road block, why the heck would he have given him a risky opponent like Povetkin as a stay busy?

They thought he would beat the 40 year old. That's why. The over estimated dillian.

But lets be fair; do you think that Eddie Hearn would want his #1 HW taking a risk against a right hand cannon or someone who he has already beaten (Whyte)? From a business perspective; its a simple business decision.

Joshua probably wanted Wilder, Wilder probably wanted Joshua (mainly because of the money it would have generated) but Hearn and Finkel know full well that they could not afford to have their #1 HW's losing. Its the same with Fury and Arum/Warren. When (not if) Fury loses, his value will PLUMMET. Arum and Warren don't want that, do they?

Arum obviously wants Pulev to fight Fury for undisputed because its a much lower risk to their #1 HW, than Joshua.

When Wilder was WBC Champ; Finkel wanted Wilder to fight Ruiz because it was a much lower risk to their #1 HW, than Joshua.

Simple really.

Its just shit because, as fans; we know what fights we want.

Wrong.

Fury, Wilder proven they aren't worried to risk it, by fighting each other.

AJs biggest risks have been against 40+ year old retirees.

They proved it again in 2nd fight, will again in 3rd..

He didn't need to beat anybody. The mandatory roadblock was already there. Matching Whyte with Povetkin got rid of it. Did you see how delighted AJ looked after Dillian got flattened? He couldn't keep the smile off his face. He and Eddie will have been high-fiving each other off camera.

The whole boxing world was happy when loud mouth Whyte got flattened and exposed again.

No body is scared of Whyte, hes a pathetic c grade journeymen as Povetkin just proved. AJ a Fury are levels above him. Nobody cares about whyte. He'll never be good enough to beat top 5, which is why he ran from a guaranteed title shot to fight AJ.

This is fanboyism 101. You don't agree to all of the champions terms and conditions by taking a $15 mil flat fee, with no percentage and fighting on U.K. Soil if you didn't want to fight.

However, what Team Wilder wouldn't do was rubber stamp a blank contract with no date, venue or opponent with a promise of Hearn filling in the details later. Matchroom and Eddie never had any plans of fighting Wilder and you know it. It was a plain duck.

Wilder had met all of Joshua's demands but yet still AJ pulled out of the fight. Do you know why; Because he was scared he would lose? In the words of Tyson Fury "he was afraid of being chinned by him".

Also, as far as the $120 mil is concerned; Skipper admits that he was the one who dropped the ball during the Wilder negotiations at DAZN not Deontay. Team Wilder wanted to know Joshua's cut of the purse.

They weren't settling for anything less than a 50/50 purse split from Team Joshua and Matchroom after their previous shenanigans.

But all you are doing is expressing what you believe to be true but you have no evidence to confirm it! That is fanboyism, my friend.

I'm not trying to convince you to change your mind. I respect your opinion.
