Has Hearn lost his marbles

It's not the right time for this fight if Fury wins but Turki has said several times it's his dream fight and there is no rematch clause. I would not be surprised if they engineered this somehow in the aftermath.

 

Yes, but Joshua should have to beat a credible puncher to earn the right to face DD. Not only Hearn, but all of the media seem obsessed with a Fury - Joshua fight. Despite Joshua’s unforgettable crashouts to the obese, substitute and underdog Dan!

 

Big money fight, they'll find a way. It's business.

 

Love how these fights are still being talked about going into 2025.

What's that stupid saying that Matchroom FC always say....'Make it happen Eddie'........

 

Regardless of the outcome of Saturday's fight, we will 100 % get the Fury vs AJ fight.

 

Win or lose it sounds like the next fight will be Fury-Joshua and I don’t think that’s a bad thing.

 

Hearn is an absolute master of creating media narratives that benefit him. He is anything but losing his marbles - he is a master manipulator who has large swathes of the media hanging off his every word.

On the week of Usyk-Fury 2, he has people talking about Fury-Joshua. Three months after Joshua was soundly beaten, he again has his man being spoken about as an opponent for the top heavyweights.

He is able to do it because he has a mouthpiece to do it from interviewers who want the hits and the easy headline.

As knowledgable fans, we all need to be better at identifying these instances and ignoring them as what they are: PR to benefit Eddie Hearn.

Other examples off the top of my head:

• The false Dubois-Joshua "rematch clause", later climbed back
• The Montana Love disqualification being a "terrible decision"
• After Wilder-Fury 2, grabbing the headlines by going on a Monday morning media tour bigging up the Fury-Joshua match, when all of Fury's people would have been asleep in Las Vegas
• Less said about the Conor Benn situation the better

 

Is there such a thinking as Matchroom FC post Dazn ? Not much of a club that has shows in front of curtained off areas to conceal the lack of punters. Hearn’s miles behind Warren domestically but Frank has his own DAZN nightmare coming soon.

 

Promoter doing what promoter does and we act shocked?

 

Hearn picking Fury. When asked why his whole reasoning is ‘well I didn’t think he’d beat Klitschko and Wilder the first time around’. Sound Ed. They were only 9 and 6 years ago.

 

Was the same rhetoric after he lost to usyk twice then soon as he beat wallin and ngannou he’s apparently the best in the world.

 

Most of the Matchroom FC lot from 5 years ago don’t watch boxing anymore.

 

Hearn is just desperately trying to cling onto the only piece of relevance he still has which is a fella who got spangled last time out.

His investments to stay at the top have been women's boxing, Campbell Hatton, a drugs cheat and Johnny Fisher.

 

If Fury wins then the only fight that makes sense is Fury Usyk 3.

If Usyk wins then I don’t see a problem in Fury Joshua next.
