Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua, Fury Will Make 'Mayweather Money' For One Of Biggest Fights Of All Time

[thetruthteller]

If there was a breach in contract then Wilder would be pushing for the fight instead he is promoting another opponent and is just fine with pushing conspiracy theories for people like you to believe.

You do not have to care about the money to still get paid what you are worth. Fury meant that he does not let money rule him and is not obsessed with having a lot of money.

I think Wilder and Fury are both frauds and chumps. So I could not care less about either of them. I'm just tired of seeing Fury get free passes, like when he and his cousin took steroids and people like you forgot. If he is so confident he can whoop Wilder again, then do it, with no excuses.

No one cares outside of the UK

If you're a boxing fan you care.

If you're a boxing fan who only thinks American/Mexican boxers count then you don't care.

It's a fact that this is the biggest fight since Mayweather/Pacquiao and probably Lennox/Tyson before that.

Heavyweight boxing sells. The winner of this fight hands down becomes the biggest star in boxing.

This is where I feel a bit sorry for Canelo. He doesn't have a dance partner right now. But even if he did, casuals aren't interested in middleweights.

It is going to be a massive fight.

Maybe it doesn't do Mayweather numbers.

But name a bigger fight right now.

We said the same thing. It will be a big fight but not a 100 million per fighter fight. If Hearn is paying that then he is an idiot.

I don't think this will be a mega fight outside of the UK, non UK casuals don't care about Joshua after his embarrassment fighting in the US. If it does decent numbers in the US, it's thanks to Fury and TR, they did a decent job in promoting Fury with his WWE venture.

Did anyone outside the US and Philippines care about Mayweather v Pacquiao?

It's nonsense. Of course people care about the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship of the World.

Who would someone on this forum (reminder: a boxing forum) not care?

Don't worry: when someone posts about how no one cares, it's pretty transparent what's going on.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

It will be the biggest heavyweight fight since Lewis vs Tyson -- and unlike that one this matchup gives us a fight where neither has declined from the peak of their powers.

This fight won't do Mayweather money. It will be close. It's 2 British fighters. Sure, for undisputed, but it's not going to have the draw of Americans like a Mayweather/ mike Tyson fight. This fight will pull more from the UK and Russia and a very small portion of where its being held. The apparent time zone is Saudi and will def not favor Americans to watch it.

The Mayweather money fights were bs. This fight is more valuable in a sense that it means 10 times more and in a sense will be historical being hw undisputed.

Though fury increased his popularity in the United States, it's not the same as having an American fighter. Even with boxing being the redheaded step child in the US, Wilder in an undisputed fight would make more money than the AJ vs Fury fight because you have 2 hws from 2 different countries as oppose to one. This fight would should have been made with wilder vs aj 2 years ago and that would have generated more revenue than aj vs fury.

Rubbish fight, Fury will smash this fraud easily...a guy who's best fight was against an old klitschko and even there he got fkd up, then quit to a fat kid and ran in the rematch. And that's your champion? The Brits have no clue about boxing so they probably think this is gonna be somewhat entertaining, Fury will smash him inside 4 rounds.

Anyone know hearns drug dealer ? Because he’s def smoking something to put this out there.

How can it make Mayweather Pac money when nobody know's who tf Aj is in America? they call him Andy Johnson xD
Money obsessed Eddie Hearn at his finest. Does nothing but destroy any sense of sport in boxing with his rematch contracts. Should have lost to Ruiz & got back in line like in real sports.
