I see Miller being Joshua’s opponent if anything happens to Whyte. Usyk needs a couple of tune up fights against fringe contenders before stepping up. It’s totally possible he could fight Charr next year for the WBA Regular.
AJ cant win. If Usyk fought Whyte next people would be claiming Matchroom are protecting AJ from Usyk. If he fights Usyk next it means AJ is running from Wilder or Fury. No matter who AJ faces somehow he is avoiding someone.
I very much doubt anybody would say that about Usyk at all. Most people say he should get settled at the weight first, but if Usky dares to be great then im all for it now! Either way we need to see AJ in with a top name after what happened on Saturday or he looks like a sideshow.
Perhaps that's because he is. That post by him is just PR to keep himself relevant. Fury has called out Joshua more than once now since the fight ended. Hearn is going for the "soft" option in Wilder yet will still **** about until at the very earliest Mid Summer '19 to make it, if at all. If he makes Wilder in April I will change my avatar to a Matchroom logo for a month. I have no doubt we'll get the full "muh negotiations" PR storm soon though like before. He won't dare do that with Fury and Warren as he knows Tyson is very much in public favour at the moment.
why would usyk jump to heavy weight and fight the champion right away? i dont think that would be his first bout at hw, he will ease his way in
AJ Fury will never happen as Hearn Warren never will do business together. AJ Wilder will not happen as Wilder has never wanted the fight. He prices himself out demanding more money or makes demands which he knows AJ cannot make due to contract agreements. Unfortunately this means AJ gets crucified by everyone when he fights the next best in Dillian Whyte. Wilder needs to realise that he will lose to both AJ and Fury so should choose the AJ option with less demand as it still gets him more money.
Wilder has made no extreme demands. He offered $50M to Joshua for both to fight for more money. Barry Hearn basically confirmed the offer was real on his twitter account on Saturday If you’re talking about the BT/Sky situation. A Man who saw the contract sent to Hearn and Joshua said publicly, the contract he saw stated Sky would have the UK Rights not BT If Joshua v Wilder dosent get made for April, Slimy Hearn upto his old ripping off tricks again. Wilder managed to make a deal with Frank Warren, who’s notoriously one of the most hardest people to do with At some stage Hearn has to look at himself and his buisness methods.
Why has everyone else seen the contract but Eddie Hearn hasn't? If that $50 mil is real I don't expect Joshua to be fighting Wilder for any less but that's not going to happen. If there is $50 mil on the table there should be no negotiations going forward. As for Hearn's business methods. Parker, Povetkin, Klitchko had no issues getting a deal done. Why was that?
Eddie Hearn said in an IFL interview that the offer was genuine and had checked that the money was there. He said Joshua would make his mind up in the following fortnight. He chose not to fight. Barry Hearn tweeted on Sunday about Joshua turning down $50m. Joshua fanboys decide to ignore the evidence from Joshua's promoters.
I don't think anyone takes that 50m offer seriously. Make the offer yeah, but at least send a contract. Nobody would be so stupid as to sign for a fight on the basis that the pay has been agreed but nothing else. Hearn probably looks at himself and his business methods and laughs. Just remember, Joshua earned £10m for a fight with Carlos Takam, which was nearly double the guaranteed purse between Wilder and Fury in their fight against each other combined. How any sane person could look at that scenario and think Hearn was the one making mistakes I don't know.
Don’t be silly. AJ's career has been managed terribly. 22 fights, 3 belts, sold out stadiums, millions of ppv buys, sponsors on tap. What a terrible career.
