    I am 20 minutes into this and it is well worth a listen.

    I am sceptical of anything any promoter says.

    But I do feel Hearn's pain when he talks about trying to make this fight for 5 months.

    Then hearing that team Fury and Bob Arum didn't lift a finger to make the AJ fight once the court case ruling was made for Fury to fight Wilder.

    The TV network also didnt cancel the option for the 3rd fight in December as they could have done. Suspicious.

    1, Wanted all the credit for making the fight.
    2. Won't take any blame when the fight can't be made. Blames everyone else.

    This tweet echoes my sentiments. Frank was useless in this AJ Fury saga.

    He seems like he's trying to save face for the fight falling through and make Fury look bad.

    It's sour grapes from Hearn who promised the fight and failed to deliver.

    I don't see why Fury would not want to fight AJ for the biggest payday of his career and to fight somebody he'd stylistically shine against.

    If anything from the last interview Fury did he seems angry at Wilder he isn't getting the AJ payday.

    Hearns bribed the judge to give Wilder the trilogy, they wanted none of Fury

    I honestly hope Wilder bangs out Fury and AJ loses to Usyk at this point. Absolute farce from the lot of them. Wouldn’t surprise me if both sides are in on this to build the hype.

    Earn monumentally pooed his pants and is now blaming the skids on bob and brick top.

    Its backfired though as now he has to send his boy in against a certain hungry caged eastern european animal

    I think personally that Arum and Warren just wanted to give Hearn the run around and look stupid although it looks to have backfired. The contract between Fury and Wilder was signed very quickly.

    Thats because all the details had already been agreed, nothing to negotiate.

    When they started talking about having it outdoors in Saudi in August i started to think it wouldn't happen. The major cities barley dips below 30 degress for the whole month.

    It's the third fight between the two.
    The details of the 3rd fight were already arranged, much of it probably specificied in the rematch clause when they signed for the second one.

    Boxing is a corrupt sport at every level.

    I do not think they (Arum and Warren) wanted the fight for Tyson unless they were the ones promoting it or at worst a joint promotion. Eddie does say in the interview that the fight not going ahead cost him (Matchroom) $50-60 million in lost revenue and that is the only reason he is pissed off.

    Why would Jake Paul fight Tommy Fury? Jake just did circa 1.6 million PPV buy's and generated between $50-75 million whilst Fury brings very little to the table, yet his promoter (Warren) would demand a 50-50 or 40-60 split.

    The only thing this all stinks of is GREED, and they're not alone.

    One of the greatest fighters of the PED generation is putting it all on the line once again in August to fight Errol Spence, whilst his greatest rival is fighting Logan Paul.

    On reflection, Josh Taylor going around threatening people in the build-up to the Ramirez fight seems quite tame in comparison to what's going on at the highest levels of the sport.

    In light of what happened to Billy Joe Saunders, I would not be surprised if Wilder sparks Fury and Uysk decisions Joshua.

    I'm currently more interested in the prospect of Jake Paul getting disqualified for kneeing Tommy Fury in the face than I am of seeing Anthony Joshua fight Tyson Fury

    I agree.

    Do you think Molly Mae could beat Ebanie Bridges if Ben Davison trained her ?
