    Let’s match up Hearn with Joshua for his next fight then!

    Christ, so ****ing what?

    I feel like Hearn employs a bunch of you guys to come up with the most ridiculous reasons to justify his offers.

    "Brook receives more SMS messages a DAY then Charlo. No point paying for Charlo when Sam Eggington already gets more SMS messages"

    Wtf Hearn? :lol:

    Btw, Hearn is really good at promoting himself, as he is his company and his fighters. And its a smart move.
    Hearn is to Matchroom what the letters; U, F and C and to the UFC.

    twitter doesn't mean anything to normal people
    only little kids care about youtube and twitter fame

    SMS messages? Considering that they're the millennial equivalent of the telegram he might well do. I can't remember the last one I received. There are so many bloody messaging services now that it's hard to keep track of them all.

    The funny thing is Eddie Hearn > US boxing.

    His fighters get paid more. E.g. Brook > Spence/Thurman/Garcia/Porter Joshua > Wilder


    The jealousy is real.

    Hearn is a much better promoter than Lou Bumass DiBella

    Behave.

    Dibella/Haymon/Finkle are incredible promoters, just look at the purses and viewing figures they are generating after 40 fights with Wilder.....

    Wilder's twitter following is actually impressive since twitter is banned in his home state of Alabama - its the devil's tool they say.

    That's because most people are wise enough to see Wilder is a fraud.

    Wilder (and also his manager Jay Deas) blocked me on twitter about 5 years ago.

    False , any social media is a gage/ measurement of ones GLOBAL popularity....

    Im actually surprised Joshua doesn't have 3 million followers on twitter by now. With Instagram combined he has over TEN million followers.

    On the flip side Wilders social media numbers should tell you something not even Joshua related ! :babeando:
