    Joshua just got his soul taken twice by a feather fisted cruiserweight southpaw. No way does Hearns junior back the kid against a fully fledged heavyweight southpaw who gave Tyson Fury hell. No chance.

    He only took the Usyk fight thinking a small man would fall over when hit with the Tony Dosh PPV power.

    That same overrated power that was blasting out the puddings and old men, however, the warning signs were there when said power was proved to be mediocre at best when he failed to dent even a few mediocre fighters including Takam, Paint Dry Parker and Rice Pudding Ruiz Jnr twice.

    He has a 0-2 record when facing genuine live opponents under 40 years of age.

    A good British fighter who reaped the most benefits from Fury dethroning Klinchko and having a meltdown leaving the belts vacant.

    Tony Dosh PPV has a huge KO waiting for him and it is going to be painful for Earn, Matchroom FC fans and the cohort of PPV Mugths who have been sold a pup time and time again.

    Coming soon from Tony Dosh PPV - no mas

    White and Dubois would be ideal. Maybe Joyce too.

    It wasn't $120m, try taking $100m off. Unless you're saying Hearn is lying?!?!

    And don't say they went back and offered $120m at later date because nobody is throwing in another $100m two months apart :lol:

    That was one of the many offers but that was back 2018 June (after Ortiz fight)

    Not the March 2019 (after the first Fury fight) which was $120m offer. Very well reported by everyone.

    Wilder didn’t want to be tied to Eddie or DAZN. I’m not aware of any offer Hearn made that didn’t obligate him to fight on that network with promotional ties to Hearn.

    So he's doing a Tank and Charlos not willing to fight guys on different platforms Other than PBC?

    Wasn't the last Fury fights also on Fox, ESPN and BT?

    Otherwise PBC only have limited options at HW (Ruiz and Sanchez being the only decent HWs at PBC).

    You say that but do you think Matchroom/Hearn would go and let Joshua fight on a non-Matchroom show? Why should Wilder have to do it if Joshua wouldn’t.

    Wilder vs Ruiz would be a good fight. I would love to see that. I think their styles would gel well to make it an exciting fight.

    They have done. AJ vs Usyk 2 was was skypsorts PPV and Not DAZN in the UK.

    Hearn stated he would be willing for Cross promotions for the potential Fury vs AJ fight.

    It's also not like Wilder and PBC would be well compensated with every offer reportedly over double Wilders career high purse at the time.

    I think this has been debunked. DAZN money is not as iron clad as advertised, given the Canelo deal.

    AJ Usyk 2 was still a MR promotion. He wouldn’t let AJ fight under TR for a fight

    Eddie was free to make offers for a single fight with AJ not tied to him or Dazn.

    Anyone else getting the feeling that AJ is getting pimped out by Hearns?

    They need him desperately for DAZN so aren't giving him the time off he needs to get his mind right.
