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

[Boxviewer]

It's been proved that neither side wanted it during the pandemic, but only one side needed it. They had the legal right to insist that it happened in December, whatever the financial consequences, but they chose not to exercise that right, despite Fury saying he was prepared to fight on that date if necessary.

Fury didn't want to fight Wilder in December, because according to him the contract has expired, instead he was looking for a gatekeeper to fight.

He’s holding out for better offers from the UK

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

I don't think so. Not with the new, more contagious UK strain of the coronavirus.

[REDEEMER]

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

There is nothing to consider that’s what happened.

by summertime all the over 75's will be vaccinated so hearn just has to up his game and flog the tickets to them

After the Saudi fiasco with Joshua and the little fat fridge
12 round snooze , it would be pathetic that the five people in the crowd that were interested and watching would be gullible enough to go through another boxing match. There's other places in the world that would offer decent money and crowd and importantly interest in this great fight .Hearn is ruining boxing by pushing it to this area that has only money and NO knowledge or interest in this fight. This fight deserves better than Eddie Hearn and Saudi Arabia.

fury is about to get sued for millions
its been proven that the reason the trilogy was pushed back was due to the pandemic

now fury is claiming he not fighting wilder because wilder hurt his feelings lol

only dumb brits supporting ducking

He is only ducking because there is no value in it!

Put yourself in Fury’s shoes, you beat someone (twice basically) why would you want to fight him again for small money and no titles when you could challenge yourself against the unified champ for insane money and cement your legacy.

Which would you chose?

Erm ok Edward I’m confused....when the talk was between Wilder and Joshua, the unification HAD to happen in the U.K. “for the British fans”.....so what has changed? Are the British fans not important anymore or was it just that they wanted to treat Wilder like a slave and dictate to him how it was all going to go? Just more evidence of how narcissistic Edward Hearn really is

Are you simple? Fans can’t go to the fight in the UK??? So if we are all watching it on tv why not go where there’s more money!?

That’s what’s changed to before!! You not notice we are in the middle of a global pandemic? Think we can still get 90,000 in Wembley you dumb f^*%

[Tecnoworld]

"...by out-boxing him in their 12-round rematch"

Not outboxig but outrunning, come on.

[Bain01D]

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!

He also can’t reverse a global pandemic which in my opinion is the main factor!

If we could get 90,000 in Wembley I think it would be uk first then Saudi

But based on no fans in the uk until 2022 that’s why it flipped

[DaNeutral.]

It's not hard to understand what Hearn is saying here. Unfortunately the same old salty turd mongers in here are scraping together some half arsed effort to hate on Eddie Hearn.

And we are all bored about hearing about Deontay Wilder now. He ducked Joshua and got smashed in to a mental child like state by Fury. He is now irrelevant, he never wanted to unify, he never wanted undisputed. Well the rest of Boxing does so we move on.
