Comments Thread For: Hearn: If Wilder Doesn't Take Fury Rematch - He Should Retire

[hhh1200]

For me, the most interesting part of this interview is Eddie revealing that fighting Fury is AJ's No1 priority, and he is ready to ditch belts if mandatory challengers won't play ball.

Now, promoter talk is gospel.

[kafkod]

That's true, but it's not good enough (or frequent enough) to make us pay for them!

The point I was making is that upsets happen more often at HW than any other division, so a HW fight as big as Fury vs AJ needs to be made asap.

Not exactly gospel, but a lot closer to it than the ignorant shit talked by fans.

Remember when Hearns offered Wilder a flat fee for undisputed but gladly agreed to terms on a 50/50 split for Fury?

Pepperidge farms remembers

I remember Hearn stating in the media, multiple times, that Wilder would get 50/50 if Winkle would stop being a baby and actually try and enter negotiations, for once. I also remember Wilder having a meeting with DAZN, being offered $100m+ for two fights with AJ in addition to a fight with whoever he wanted. But yea, let's forget about those and focus on the flat fee that was somehow a lowball offer even though the eventual offer was something like four times Wilder's highest purse at that point

Didn't one of Fury's promoters (Bov Arum) have spoken lately about the Wilder fight? And, I am sure Wilder's manager confirmed that Fury/Wilder is going to happen too. Some reporters, it seems are just got nothing good for us.

Bob is trying to suck the fans dry no way this fight happens without fans

[Bigblackted44]

Yep

Lol.. good point.

Sounds like Eddie trying to protect his over rated fighters from Wilder. Matchroom can't afford to see more of there heavy weights getting sc****d off the canvas.

Wilder has a good chance of decapitating Whyte.

This people can’t see through the BS though

[champion4ever]

Nonsense. Fury fought in the WWE, which had nothing to do with Arum. He's too big a star to be ordered around by a promoter.

Bob allows Fury to do whatever he wants in his free and spare time but when it comes time to get inside of that boxing ring then Bob Arum calls all the shots.

[VislorTurlough]

Really Edward? Your charges Joshua and Whyte were both savagely knocked out in the last 15 months. Why don’t they quit?

[OldTerry]

The big alabama fraud is in a no win situation. He can't beat Fury and he can't beat AJ and he can't make money vs anyone else. The big alabama fraud and his corrupt protectors are scheming some way out of their mess to make the best cash grab and run. They have no escape hatch now. Just a matter of time before that big no class jackass is out of the picture. Hearn is right, wilder's fake career is as good as finished.

I believe you're half-right. Wilder can beat AJ. AJ also can't beat Fury.

Fury and Frank Warren would never have agreed to a deal like that with Arum.
