    I lost my **** when I read $100,000,000. So this idiot somehow came to the conclusion that accepting a fight with Wilder would have cost Joshua $100,000,000...

    Totally beyond bizarre. This guy has fully lost his marbles and needs to be institutionalised.

    Lol like it was ever actually real,were it real you’d spend time in a room thrashing out the contract instead of playing on social media which is all it ever was.

    I too enjoy them.

    Have they always been part of your brand or did you one day just decide to start going with the poem approach?

    The desperation from Duckroom paid goons is real. :lol:

    They can't let go of the fact that their main man holding Duckroom together is a coward who refused the biggest heavy weight purse in history.

    I thought the same, it's hilarious, most people have already accepted the fact that Matchroom didn't want the
    fight, even some AJ fans. The reason doesn't matter, if it was for marinating the fight or because they didn't want
    any part of Wilder, it's a mixture of both things and the fact is that they didn't want the fight.

    There's a funny story behind that. It was actually Marvin in accounts who suggested it. We were having the bi monthly brand identity meeting looking at how we would develop 'Holler' and the focus for that meeting in particular was the millenial demographic and the less than impressive figures we were receiving for post likes and social shares from sub Saharan Africa. Marvin said that when a previous company he'd worked for had lost several billion dollars and had to fire most of their staff their marketing team had the idea of issuing their notices along with a little rhyme and that seemed to soften the blow. Well the marketing team loved the idea and Lucia and Arabella knew a poet from their time at 'Grazia' and the rest is history. The poems have been incorporated into the content strategy ever since. The funny thing was that we later realised that Marvin shouldn't have been at that meeting in the first place!

    And Hearn announced publicly after speaking with Haymon that he was satisfied the funds were there.

    ESB GED accountants and promoters at it again. :eusa_doh:

    Yes the guy who makes $1.5 million fighting retired club bouncers in Alabama offered AJ a $50 million payday. I mean how dare anyone doubt this?

    As if sky would allow there cash cow to fight on another network.

    This is no way comparable to Saunders fighting on a DAZN show which will he shown on Sky sports.

    C'mon that's just ridiculous. AJ and Sky are tight and why would AJ even look to go against the network that has been behind him from day 1.

    AJ is a sky box office fighter and gets handsomely paid for being so. Like his gonna say to sky, 'hey just to let you know my big unification fight with Dentoy Wilder will be on your rival network BT'.
