Comments Thread For: Hearn: Fury, Joshua Have Argued Over Text, Argued Over FaceTime - It's Bizarre

[Eff Pandas]

Awwwww so cute how young Edward’s fans post support for him. I love you “time to put the kettle on” IFL tv nerds lol

Loooool.

I'll never get fully used to UK phrases. It's like lame slang.

In the UK, we are being told that social distancing won’t be relaxed until Sept/Oct 2021.

The fight won’t happen.

The stadium will have less than half max capacity if done earlier.

The fight will happen in Dec 2021 or Jan 2022

Haven't they already said the first fight won't be in the UK?

LMAO... Why does anyone at Matchbook boxing believe these articles are helping drive up interest?

That's probably the intention. That and to put pressure on team Fury to get it done.

First of all trying to 'drive up interest' or let the fight 'marinate' is really not necessary for this fight. If there's ever been a fight where that shiiit is not necessary it's this one.

Secondly, I was critical of AJ refusing to talk about Fury even after he beat Pulev but it has to go both ways. Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't Fury recently said that he won't be match fit? Didn't Arum recently ask Hearn to stop talking about the fight? We have to be fair here because it looks like the tables have turned; AJ's team are now sounding more positive about the fight whereas Fury's side seem to be making excuses.

We have to call it like it is not just on the side of the fighter we fanboy over the most.

I am not sure how this is even applying pressure? They have argued over text and face time? Who the **** cares? And let’s set Hearn straight... it’s not bizarre at all that two fighters banter before a potential fight. Some would say that’s the expectation? It’s called selling the fight. But we don’t get to see the actual banter we get Hearn telling us somewhere in time it has happened? WTF

To be honest there was no incentive for me to read this time waster. Just went straight to comments in annoyance.

They haven’t announced location but it may well be Uk as they can easily sellout Wembley at 100000 seats

They haven't OFFICIALLY announced the location, but hasn't Eddie said numerous times it's not gonna be in the UK? That's what I recall.

And with covid rules I suspect it won't even make sense to do it in the UK.

Who they locking up? Again, your saying chit but not really making much sense. This thread is about Joshua. When has Hearn locked Joshua away until the money fights appear? Joshua is the money man in the division. He ain't earning pennies fighting anybody. And his belt crusade is the straightest path of any Boxer in the sport. Everything he does is about facing mandatories or trying to fight anybody with a belt he don't have.

Try make your posts make some sense otherwise you will be accused of just being salty and saying any old nonsense just so you can say something negative.

It's difficult arguing anyone who simply doesn't use sense and facts to try and make a point. It's just mad accusations like "the election was rigged" and then off they go - on a mega rant without any evidence whatsoever. Loons mate.

You are 100% right and people are just posting crap to stir stuff up. Sites in the middle east have been brought up. They are finalizing the contracts and the rematch stipulations. Then they will agree to a site that will bring the fighters the most cash. While I hope I am wrong, Saudi Arabai would seem the favorite.

I think that by constantly talking about the fight and saying how it's almost a done deal Hearn is trying to pressure Fury's team into hurrying up and signing it because the public will start wondering what's the hold up and start demanding the fight get signed (this already seems to be happening). I also assume that's why Arum recently told Hearn to stop talking about it in public. I don't know I could be wrong.

I agree that boxers having some banter isn't that bizarre. Maybe them texting and facetiming each other and calling Hearn in the middle of the night is unusual but yeah, this isn't really article worthy
