Hearn responds to Criticism - "Are you doing anything?" - AJ V FURY 1

Yup.
Wilder managed to 1 up him years ago. Somehow they spun the guilt onto Eddie and Joshua. 5 quid says Eddie never wants to go through that again.

 

People go on about Fury going to Germany to fight Klitschko or the US to fight Wilder. Fury doesn't have the best track record of selling tickets in the UK, plus when your fighting the champion the majority of the time you fight in their back yard case in point with Klitschko and Wilder.

Hearn isn't wrong is he when he says what are the others doing?! They aren't doing anything are they!

You all realise this is a co-promotion yet keep spouting the same rubbish like "Hearn can't deliver" or "Hearn has offered money that he can't generate"

Your narrative is boring.

As for Hearn and AJ and the whole Wilder thing...Wilder admitted to ducking AJ...facts are facts.

 

We don't know what Hearn, Arum, Warren etc. have "been doing".
It's a silly point, started by Hearn himself.

Unless you have a camera on them all 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it's silly to say they are or aren't doing.
The only think we are sure of is that Eddie Hearn has been doing more talking to the media. Outside of that, who knows.

 

Wilder admitted he fought Fury in 2018 rather than Joshua because he agreed to fight Fury first.

However, what you all are leaving out is Wilder and Joshua were set to announce their fight in 2019, after Wilder beat Breazeale and Joshua beat Ruiz. That is the only reason why Joshua fought in the U.S. That's also the only reason why Joshua was so preoccupied with Wilder stopping Breazeale quicker than he did. All Joshua's appearances in the U.S. before the Ruiz fight included the conversation about fighting Wilder next.

But Joshua lost to Ruiz. Then demanded a rematch. And Wilder went ahead and fought rematches with both Ortiz and Fury, while Joshua worked to reclaim what he lost

Everyone leaves that part - about Joshua losing - out. Wonder why? (LOL)

 

Because its not true, there was never an agreement, but OK, let's say that they did agree...

The reason people don't mention about AJ losing is because the anti AJ brigade will say AJ ducked Wilder and the anti Wilder brigade will say Wilder ducked AJ.

By acknowledging the loss as a reason for the proposed fight not happening stops their being a bad guy or a coward/ducker in this story. It doesn't fit the agenda.

 

With all respect to your Britions, but in my opinion you are all too biased either towards AJ or Fury.

I am sure BOTH want the fight next, but the PROMOTERS dont.

John Fury mad it clear in his outburst, he didnt just attack Hearn but Arum and Warren with the same sharp tongue.

Its so obvious Hearn, Warren and Arum see the problems in making money with the pandemic, or lets say during the pandemic.


If you ask me, the American Arum makes the most trouble. He dont want that fight in 2021, he want it 2022 in the USA and nowhere else. And thats why it wont be made.
Warren simply is to weak and cant to anything againt the old Bob.


But so or so its a very cheap move from Eddie to act like John had only attacked him, but in fact he attacked Frank and Bob too.

And it shows imo Warren is unable to confront Arum and makes his interests clear. When Bob says no Frank cant to anything.
Thats how it looks to me.
And it shows Warren is limited as promoter. But i know and respect how mighty Arum is. The guy promoted Ali-Chuvalo I in 1966...he is an old timer and Legend.


Ony my thoughts from Germany (not UK or USA).

 

If British fans simply paid what U.S. fans pay for PPVs, the fight wouldn't need a Saudi prince to bankroll it.

British boxing fans have depended on U.S. fans to cover the cost of big matchups for years.

When the onus is on British fans to pay 89.99 or 100 for a PPV to see the fight they have been saying for years is the biggest British fight that can be made, they all go to the toilet when the check arrives. LOL

If I was Hearn, I would be angry, too.

He has led this surge in British boxing for years. Now, when it has all built to this big fight British fans have said they have wanted for years, the fans are too cheap to pay what many of us have forked over before for big fights.

Now he is stuck flying all over the world trying to find someone who will bankroll a fight for a bunch of freeloaders.

 

Nice to see a well balanced post on this forum/subject for a change.

 

Lol, it’s such a stupid concept that world class prize fighters are ‘scared’ of each other. None of them are.

The biggest contributor to fights not happening are the promotion companies protecting their assets.

 

Ah yes, the comment section of an Eddie Hearn interview. Perfect place to get highly informed analysis from people who know all the facts.

 

What a load of bo lax

 

What do you mean .. what has he done with the belts?

His last fight was Wilder, there's been a pandemic and he hasn't fought..

What's AJ done with his? Old man Povetkin? Takam? Got slapped around by a little fat bloke? Parker, the same Parker who struggled with Fa, lost to Whyte.

Fury has already done what AJ and Hearn didn't do and haven't done.. go to Germany and beat a reigning champion in WK and go to America and fight a reigning champion in Wilder.

AJ went to the US once and got slapped silly.. there are levels here, AJ resume is Ok, but Fury has the two best wins.


I didn't say AJ was frightened, I don't think any fighter is frightened of anybody, but Hearn wants the odds stacked in his favour, he always does, when Povetkin is signing rematch clauses for a non title fight with Whyte.. that's all you need to know how Hearn works.

Fury isn't a fool, neither are his family or Team, Hearn is irritated and rattled because he can't pull the same crap he usually does and he set a deadline he is going to struggle to meet.

So now the spin comes.. and AJ fans will swallow it like they have every time.

 

I'm talking about the very beginning, Hearn sat there in an IfL interview like a pee poor Bond Villain saying "we need to test his manhood.." when talking about Wilder.

At the start Hearn said all the same crap he is saying now, same old script, same old rubbish.

Hearn has problems though, he set a deadline and I don't think he will meet it, neither does Team Fury, then he has mandatory problems and it all goes south from there.

 

It definitely seems that way.

All I hear from Arum and Warren is "This fight is so tough to make, we have restrictions, Hearn shouldn't be talking so much"

Even Fury himself seems negative about everything.
