I actually think they fight in December.. I've got no dog in the fight either and couldn't care less who wins. More confident of this happening than Fury v Usyk.
Trolling. Give it up. Tyson got milllions upon millions for fighting dementia chisora who is touching 15 losses. 15 losses. AJ hasn't pulled such a move.
BT put Canelo Plant on PPV. Sky were going to put Taylor Catterall II on PPV - Joshua Franklin would definitely have been PPV on Sky no question. That was always the plan at the start of 2023 anyway. If you’re complaining about the price rise, in April you would have got Joshua Franklin, Cordina Rakhimov, and two US cards including Garcia Davis.
That was a unification fight Ryder vs Canelo wasn't. Joshua vs Franklin wouldn't definitely be PPV at all. It was a **** fight as well with no titles on the line. The only Joshua fight with no world titles on the line Sky had as PPV was the Dillian Whyte one. Taylor vs Catterall was on normal Sky. Anyway you're banging on about getting your moneys worth in April means nothing if you only get your moneys worth once every half a dozen months.
Don't think the others are much better, just that Hearn loves reeling off these 'plans' for his fighters, and inevitably the first fight in the plan is always something garbage. Same as when he likes to reel off potential opponents and will give 3 decent names and 1 rubbish one... you always know which it's going to be. He's done the same thing for years to the point you can never take anything seriously besides for the poor fight that is confirmed to be in the works next.
I actually can't disagree with this. I firmly believe that Hearn is a huge reason why some big fights don't get made. Leave it to him, most of the time, and he can't matchmake for toffee. Bivol/Canelo for example. AJ not facing Wilder yet. Do I believe it's 99% Wilder's fault? Yes. He declined bigger money and fought Tyson instead and lost any mystique that he had. But Eddie's mouth gets the better of him and he creates enemies. He should be working with and not against the Americans like uncle has for decades. Look at Benn vs Pacman. Make it make sense, I dare you. Hearn takes too much of an advisory role for my liking, and his disgusting thirst for money has put the nail in the coffin of a few big fights.
I include Fury in the list and yes the Fury vChisora fight was a disgrace as will the Joshua v Whyte fight this year.
