    I know the next line too

    "Look, no one has beaten Miller and he is a nightmare for ANYONE"

    It's all nonsense, this. Wilder and Fury's camps seem to be pointing toward a rematch (though I wouldn't be surprised to see Wilder get his mando against Breazeale out the way); Hearn knows this and has no doubt seen the flack on social media about the Whyte or Miller options as fights. Get a Sky Sports article out saying he's offered every **** 'life changing money', get Macklin, Froch et al to retweet it. Claim no one wants the fight.

    Big publicity stunt from Eddie, obviously. A few days after the Fury/Wilder rematch is all but announced, he comes out with this rubbish. I suppose he has to save face, so it's unsurprising. These "offers" will be referenced by him many times moving forward, be sure of that. But ask yourself these questions:

    - Why wait til mid-January to do this?
    - Why wait until Fury/Wilder rematch is all but signed?
    - Why offer 35%? We all know both guys won't sign for less than 40% and I don't blame them. The fight does double the PPV buys of any other AJ fight. Despite what Hearn and the nuthuggers say, Wilder and Fury especially have huge value in this fight. It takes two guys to make a superfight. 60/40 is fair and shows a desire on the part of AJ/Matchroom to get the big one's made.

    There's nothing serious about these offers. It's a smokescreen. A stick to bate Fury and Wilder with over the next couple of years. If Hearn was serious, he would've offered both guys 40% a month ago and showed us evidence of those offers. Showing us evidence of these offers means nothing because they were clearly never going to be accepted. Hearn knew that. Any logical boxing fan knows that.

    Not sure why you seem to think 35% is outrageous but 40% is fair. I mean, they're pretty close.

    I genuinely don't understand your point. I'm not trolling. Indeed, I genuinely think with your Ali/Mayweather/Tyson comparisons and suggesting the rematch does a million buys and earns both more than they'd get fighting Joshua that you are trolling.

    You don't get a split based on who is better. It's based on what you bring to the fight.

    Yes I agree, but you also have to acknowledge that most people seeing fury as no1, is bringing something to the table.

    That's a lazy excuse that US boxing is dead, others have thrived and are thriving.

    In the last year Canelo Vs Golovkin did very well in the US twice, Mayweather in recent times did huge numbers, Pacquaio has done big numbers in the US in recent years.

    If you're entertaining, talented or exciting then you do well in the US, there is a market there.

    Facts are Fury and Wilder didn't capture the imagination of the US casual boxing fans, Wilder had over 40 fights and his best win was old man Ortiz, that's the problem of his promotional team for not pushing him over the years and now people just don't believe in him.

    Fury tested positive for a banned substance, retired, ate, drank and snorted himself in to irrelevance, then came back and fought Seferi who just quit and laboured 10 rounds with Pianeta, in the highlight reel for the Wilder fight Fury had hair FFS.

    It was poorly promoted and not thought through, is wasn't just "US Boxing is dead".

    Joshua, Hearn/Matchroom and even Sky have worked very hard to turn AJ in to a star in the UK, to say it's just luck is way off the mark.

    We will never know but even if AJ fought for Nigeria then sure his profile wouldn't have been the same but Lennox Lewis fought for Canada in the Olympics and still did OK for himself.

    Well I didn't make outrageous, unrealistic and bias predictions and then deny I said them, ignore the fact I said them and then just repeat them again after the dust had settled.

    My problem is the double standards..

    If AJ fought Wilder next, then you can guarantee there would be thread after thread about "AJ Ducking Fury".

    If AJ fought Fury next, then you can guarantee there would be thread after thread about "AJ Ducking Wilder"


    Fury says he wants huge fights (it don't get bigger than AJ), Fury apparently wants legacy fights, he doesn't fight for money apparently (but it helps).

    So..

    If Fury gets offered more money to fight AJ than Wilder, Fury has the opportunity to win 3 of the 4 major world titles and it all happening in the UK in a monster and historic domestic world title fight..


    And he turns all that done for the devalued WBC belt in a fight that couldn't break 350k PPVs in the US last time and failed to sell out..

    Yeah sorry it's a duck in my opinion, because if AJ did the same it would be considered a duck by Fury and Wilder Fanboys on here,

    I very much want/wanted to see AJ vs Wilder but if Fury beats Wilder and his subsequent fight with AJ is for every belt, the alphabet titles, Ring, Lineal etc. and Undisputed status then that will be truly epic for British boxing.

    The Wilder Fury fight was given good promotion, there just wasnt much interest. I think a rematch would do a bit better, as it really blew up after the fact and gained huge traction through social media. I agree US isnt exactly dead but its not where it used to be.
