    This is brilliant from the fatty Sam Jones account. You said all last week that Canelo v Charlo was not a good fight and now it is a really good fight? So which one is it. Please don’t bother to reply. I won’t be commenting on anymore of your stupid posts. I’m bored of it.

    Boxnation was way better than DAZN content wise in the UK and US, (I don’t remember streams dropping out mid fight) and 3 of those 5 fights you mentioned haven’t even happened yet. Absolute gold and such a pathetic post.

    Pound for pound, DAZN is better value than BoxNation.

    Pound for pound, DAZN is poor value compared to almost any other sports network.

    I pay £15 a month for TNT and can get the full suite of European football, decent English Premier games, WWE, UFC and a load of other stuff before we even get to boxing. When you put it that way the Saudi league doesn't even register and women's football is worse than going to the local amateurs.

    I agree. Not sure why you're all getting so angry at me. The poster mentioned BoxNation, so I just explained why DAZN is better value than BoxNation. I never mentioned any other broadcaster?

    It wasn't a good fight as I predicted. But again you didn't read what I wrote. The poster was talking about "big American fights". Canelo vs Charlo is an example of a "big American fight".

    If you guys don't read what I say properly then it's not my fault you get frustrated with my responses and think I'm contradicting myself when I clearly am not.

    Not sure how you can interpret some of these replies as anger, but mine was simply an opinion and half agreeing :)

    Hearn said when he heard Fury-Usyk had been made that they better get busy and get Joshua-Wilder made.

    Assuming the Joshua-Wilder Saudi thing has died a natural death, the split for this fight will become an issue again and negotiations are likely to become protracted yet again. Hope not. Would like to see this fight finally get made.

    Hearn is right there. Joshua and Wilder were offered X amount to fight in Saudi Arabia. Due to promotional changes there, this money is no longer on the table. I doubt either of them are in a rush to fight each other for much less than that X amount of money.

    The reality is that 'X amount of money' is unlikely to ever be on the table again.

    Time we forgot about Joshua-Wilder, it is never going to happen.

    This is the Hearn main con seen time and again.

    Schedules fights against bums, talk about next fights against big names, fights another bum, promises negotiations are going well and nearly finalised, fight falls through, another bum lined up.

    Seen it many times with Joshua and Con Henn.

    Joshua is a high 3 figure multi millionnaire so money is no excuse for ducking Wilder.

    The fact is he is getting KTFO when he faces any live fighter and Wilder certainly fits this category.

    The fight nobody wants to see Joshua v Whyte 3 coming soon on DAZN Box Office in Rinse City or even worse.

    Yeah I don't see this ever happening and stopped caring about it ages ago.

    They're both yesterday's men and either completely shot (Joshua) or basically retired (Wilder).

    Not arsed about any of them. Time to move on.

    I think they could just about do it before 2025 and still be young enough. But if they don't hurry up they are just wasting away.

    2025 is only 14 months from now and from what we have seen so far, no chance.

    After 8 years it’s pretty clear that Joshua and Hearn are not in a rush for the Wilder fight.

    Dead right. All just hot air from Hearn as usual. Can't wait for AJ v Lucas Browne next though.
