    He’s has not been proven to be a fraud. You are looking for things that don’t exist and in the process defaming a man who warrants respect.

    Been saying this for a while now, the 50 million is astonishing, the rest of the contract unacceptable. Eventually details of this infamous contract would start to seep out and it would not look good. This is why Boxing promoters and fighters wont take a fight based on only 1 detail. Waiting to see what detail creeps out next.

    My point exactly....

    @CutThroatFade was claiming that Sky/BT Sport was not a 'Dealbreaker', despite the fact that these two are rival boxing platforms in the UK.

    As I said, they're the UK version of Showtime/HBO, with regards to their rivalry in the UK.

    See you read this as it being bull**** and i read it as even more of a reason why Hearn would block it.

    As i have stated before, Matchroom and AJ only had an exclusive deal with Sky with fights on UK soil. That had been confirmed by Adam Smith himself. Obviously i think that has changed now with the new contact recently signed.

    You guys can clutch at straws all you want but the offer has been confirmed as real by both Hearns and more unreliabley, Warren. Throw in the DAZN deal and other sponsors who invest alot of money into matchroom/AJ then its pretty obvious where alot, but not all, of the problems are.

    Really it doesnt matter though, boxing has let itself down again and its us the fans who miss out.

    And to be fair to Hearn he kept his mouth shut until Frank Warren started acting like an idiot, discussing a fight which had nothing to do with him.

    The offer was real.....

    But the contract obligation of it being on BT would mean that AJ/Hearn lose a lot of money.

    ****ing Bradley Skeete boxed on a Sky show when he was exclusive to Boxnation. It’s NOT a roadblock unless Hearn and Sky want it to be a roadblock. Fighters can fight on rival platforms, it happens in North America and in Europe.

    Hearn didn’t even entertain a conversation about the broadcasting platforms he and AJ turned down the bid flat out. Hearn has only brought up this Warren and BT thing now. He didn’t mention it before so it wasn’t the reason for turning the 50 mil down. The official reason given for the rejection of the offer was that “AJ wanted to give the fight to the British fans”. But you are too idiotic and too much of a Matchroom bumboy to acknowledge that.

    Finkel, Haymon, Hearn are all on the same team. They're dragging the fight out deliberately.

    Lewis vs Tyson. A clash of two HW Goliaths which generated more than $100m. I'll Tweet a link to Hearn....

    Are people really that stupid?

    When Joshua tells Sky he wants to get out of his 'Exclusive contract', how much will Sky ask for?

    $50,000,000 perhaps?

    It was legit......

    And that Joshua would have to fight on BT sport.


    Which isn't gonna happen.
