    Hearn was only using Fury’s name to sell this PPV

    Hearns post fight interviews with the likes of IFL, He’s saying he’s not going to talk about Fury versus Joshua and concentrate on just making the fight.

    He couldn’t keep Fury’s name out of his mouth when trying to promote Joshua v Pulev.

    Strange how he changed his tune once the fight was over and the PPV’s had been bought for a fight that was gathering very little interest.

    I know Eddie’s game.

    Expect to see Joshua versus Usyk next.

      Fury snubbed the offer to come to the fight. Actions speak louder than words, doesn't look like Fury wants it. So no free publicity for the clown.

        Fury was never going to the fight. He’s not going to follow Eddie’s instructions and seem like a guest.

          But he did for Wilder?

          They agreed to fight and a 50/50 split. If his intention was to make that fight he'd have turned up and created a bit of buzz.

            Wilder went to Fury’s fight in Belfast when the fight was seriously being negotiated, not the other way around. Yeah Fury went to wilder fight in 2015 but that wasn’t to promote a fight, Fury was contracted for the Klitschko rematch.

            Fury isn’t going to dance to Eddie’s tune and promote when there is nothing signed

            Fury couldn’t have gone anyway, People from Tier 3 weren’t allowed to go to the event unless they were in the bubble all week. The only way he could’ve gone to the fight was being invited by a broadcaster, Eddie said that, and that would’ve meant him being in the bubble all week.

            Like he’s gonna do that.

              So Fury isn't going to promote a fight that isn't signed. But Joshua should promote Fury by mentioning him on his PPV? Double standards much?

                It's one of Eddie's tactics. He also loves to say "We're looking at the following fighters for so and so's next match!" And he will list two top contenders, and a former contender who hasn't fought in a couple years.


                Then that's who gets picked. Happened most recently when he tried to get Haney a highlight reel KO against Gamboa.

                  of course!

                  I've never seen a AJ Fight Week this Dry probably ever and it is not because of AJ it is because of Pulev. Blame the IBF for leaving us stuck with this GARAGE Fight! NOBODY knows how Pulev became #1 by the IBF but I'm sure we're all glad that is out of the way

                    Blame Hearn for not getting this mandatory out of the way during the pandemic. There was NO reason to wait five extra months so 1000 fans could be there.
