Comments Thread For: Hearn: To Bring Joshua-Fury To UK, They'd Have To Take Half What They Could Get

[OnlytheTruth]

That might be true, but it isn't relevant. Hearn doesn't get to decide where a fight as big as this happens. Like he said, the fighters will have the final say on that.

I can't see Joshua and Fury picking up the phone and calling the other one and saying 'This should be at Wembley or Old Trafford'.

Both of them will be told what's best for them by Eddie and Bob.

One Hundred Million sounds* about a hundred times better than Fifty.

*I've highlighted this just in case some smart-ass wants to say that 100 is only twice as much as 50. I said SOUNDS, not IS. LOL

It's crazy how posters are blaming Eddie Hearn for the fight not happening in the UK, as if he could make that decision on his own, without any input from AJ, Fury, Warren and Bob Arum.

Talk about shooting the messenger!

More to the point Hearn would have to take half ....this idiot couldn't give a *** about the fans and it's about time these twats that support him get to realising that!

Right, so as long as Hearn makes his money Joshua and fury will take a £20m + pay cut in your eyes??

Fury and AJ are too big to be told what to do by Eddie and Bob, and I'm certain that they will be talking to each other behind the scenes.

Other than money, this fight makes absolutely no sense to take place outside the UK. Two British HW champions, unifying ALL the belts, this is a fight of historic proportions and has never happened before, they should do everything possible to ensure this happens in the UK.....The fans deserve it. But I know, money talks!

The money talk in boxing is so offputting

[Oldskoolg]

Covid changed it maybe ?

Also Hearn agreed to have a 2 fight deal with Wilder one in the U.S which I believe was going to be the first one .

Oh, ok, so we just consider the Rona when it comes to previous plans? Such as Fury v Wilder III?

Hearn is doing his job well and I salute his pragmatism. No one fights for the fans anymore. If there's anyone out there, he's dumb.

He’s holding out for better offers from the UK

This fight will be at Wembley, there’s no doubt at all

We all know it will take some Saudi blood money to get this fight done this year.
