In the promotional stakes I support Al Haymon, PBC, Mayweather Promotions, TGB Promotions and Showtime. Those are my guys. No doubt you are Top Rank,ESPN bloke.
I don't feel a bond or affinity with any particular promotions (though I may find some personalities more tolerable than others). Where it concerns taking a side in promotional deadlocks, I pretty much tend to work out which (if any) party is at fault on a case-by-case discernment basis rather than by partisan allegiance to a company.
Well I am a PBC guy and I don’t hide because Al Haymon is good for boxing and boxers. Little anecdote when I took a job overseas which meant I could no longer manage a boxer I had high hopes he was approached by Al Haymon’s team. I am a lawyer and when I read the proposed contract I could not wait for him to sign up. Yes that is how great it was. So I speak from personal experience of PBC.
I want the fights to happen. But to give a deadline of 1 day for the negotiations is crazy. Why not a week? I like Fury, he is just bipolar talking all over the place. This now or never mentality for negotiations sound like a scam is being pulled, all's I'm saying
True, but he was right that Wilder wasn't that big of a name at that particular time, the fights with Fury elevated his profile drastically and vice-versa
He was nothing with the belts, just beat a very old Ukrainian to get them. After that ducked and dived his way to where he is now. If he was a good as he likes to think then he would have already fought Fury and Wilder long before now.
He should be thankful Fury is Willing to give him 40% when he is a freshly defeated fighter who has just been beaten twice he’s not the “big money name” in UK boxing anymore he should take whatever date fury offers and be thankful for 40%
Fury does not really want to fight Joshua, if he did he'd accept a December 17 date. Fury is very childlike and has bipolar personality disorder. First he retires, he vacates his Ring title, next he calls out Chisora, now he wants to fight in November. People should not take anything he says seriously. He's just playing his childish games.
Fury & Warren have booked several dates. why should Hearn dictate the date? Hearn and AJ haven't said yes to December 3. so how does that make Fury worse than them? Fury's the champion offering a fight to a guy who is not getting a shot anywhere else. but you're saying he needs to jump to Eddie Hearn's time to prove he's serious. Fury is literally offering to fight AJ 12 weeks from now and on good terms. but people are hating on him for it. Lol
If what you say is true "Joshua knows momentum & activity are important in boxing" then why was it that he was only defending his titles every 12 months or so and then ducking who he should have been defending against such as Wilder and Fury , taking fights against an over the hill Pulev and then another against a last minute over weight Mexican, got clipped which exposed his weak chin and lost everything. If he knew he needed to be more active then why wasn't he! If its down to his promoter then maybe its time he told the world that.
