Comments Thread For: Fury vs. Joshua: Hearn Says Deal On The Verge of Being Put on Paper

[REDEEMER]

He hasn't earned a $100million, and he isn't going to unless he fights Fury, you daft cunt.

I thought AJ signed an extension with Dazn for over 100 million ?

AJ has never been signed with DAZN. You're probably thinking about the new 3 year deal he signed with Matchroom/Sky in 2018. That was reported as being worth £100million. That would have been based on projected PPV earnings though, not a guaranteed fee, like DAZN offered to Wilder.

Those guys don't understand that the fact they spend so much time bitching, complaining, and gossiping about what Hearn says proves that Hearn is doing his job well.

Hearn will go down as worst match maker in history.

Failed to make even the most obvious fights, like aj vs Wilder,
failed to make world title fights between 2 of his own fighters, whyte vs aj.

Always talking about multi- fight long term deals, but can't even get single fight deal over the line.

Talks a lot about fights that aren't currently possible. He's a fraud, he clearly doesn't really want this fight to happen

Hearn is not a matchmaker or any boxer's manager, he is a promoter, and you are a fool.

Did you even read the article or just the headline??

Are they not one and the same ?

Let me guess ''If Fury wins (yadayada) ?''

Usyk is the WBO mandatory and is going to demand his title shot at Joshua next in the rotation.

He's not going to go away.

How are people still confused about Hearn 'contradicting' himself over AJ, Whyte, and Usyk?

It's his job to push multiple angles and multiple fighters.

You can fully intend to make many fights... knowing full well that not all will eventuate.

The alternative is to say 'well I don't know what will happen, so I just won't promote anything' in case a bunch of blokes on a boxing forum think I'm misleading anyone.

If you were looking for work, would you apply for multiple jobs or just apply for one at a time? Same thing. That's not a contradiction, it's a reasonable approach.

Fair points, thanks

Joshua has no exclusive deal with DAZN, only sky.

It will be interesting to see how the broadcasting will work in USA because Fury has an exclusive deal with ESPN. AJ has no exclusive USA deal, But I will be surprised if Eddie let’s Joshua go to ESPN to fight and DAZN miss out.

It’s not even like DAZN and ESPN can do a joint broadcast because DAZN said they don’t and never will do pay-per-view, unless they contradict themselves, which could happen.

Unless Fury’s ESPN deal only applies to fights in USA which could mean DAZN and ESPN have to bid for the rights if the fight is in another country.

Fury going to fight twice this year ?

Haha would be awesome if that was the case!

I'm all for more activity not less.
