Mayweather vs Mcgregor Mayweather vs Pacquiao Mike Tyson vs Lewis These broadcasts where breaking ppv records before Eddie was born. Turn off Sky for a second and realise US is still the mecca for boxing
He's a key stakeholder whose agreement is required for any deal to take place. You may dislike him, many do, but he has a contract with Joshua and with Sky TV and that makes him a key player with every right to ask questions and not simply proceed on the basis of an unproven assertion in an email and a tweeted video.
If you think two English speaking HWs fighting to unify all 4 titles for the first time in Vegas doesn't generate more you're completely mental. Casual sports fans don't care about GG-Canelo nearly as much as they will Joshua Wilder. You people seem to still be tarring HW boxing with the Klitschko brush. HW is king. This fight does bank. Al knows it and Eddie knows it. Listen to your gods douche.
I aint doing F all for you fool. If you don't know basic facts, you shouldn't be posting on boxing forums.
Of course he has a right to ask questions. But he should be addressing that to Wilder's team not social media before insinuating that the contract is fake. It's slimy and dishonest. What he should have said is ''On the face of it it's a great offer from Deontay and we'll be more than happy to accept it providing we can confirm everything is above board, We've sent a response asking for further details'' Instead we get ''We don't know if it's real, there is no date or location of the fight, where the hell would Wilder get that money from? Does he have proof of his income, what he's doing on the side? We don't know! Clearly, he looks like a drug dealer So please, show us something real or we are going to go ahead and sign to fight Miller''
I agree, but my point is, why is Hearn questioning people with more credibility than him in ways they aren't questioning him? If he wanted to make the fight, he would stop looking for excuses and looking for novel ways to **** off the other side. If he cares about his fighters or the fans, he should be saying nothing more than, "sounds great, send me a proposed contract or a full list of terms based on 50-50 with a $50mn guarantee".
Wow... These all happened before 1979...didnt know that. 2 Mayweather fights... And a Tyson/Lewis fight which was Co promoted by HBO and Showtime... None of these examples needed Al Haymon to make money... Fool.
You do know your question has been answered right? Luky for you another poster took pity on your stupidity and gave you a list. But feel free to keep going if you enjoy looking like a complete bell end.
Both of you are morons why are you comparing Showtime Sports and Sky Sports ? Two completely different operations and how they roll in Boxing.Showtime operates in the US which is already a massive advantage, Sky operates in a country full of only 65 Milion people compared to 350 Million.Showtime can set high PPV Prices because of how big the US is, Sky cannot do that.Boxing is also one of Showtime's Flagship Sports, Sky spend most of their money on Football, Darts, Crickets then Boxing comes into play.No Logic in comparing a American Buisness against a British one
STFU you knob. You got schooled hard. Point is, Haymon and Showtime clearly have the money and they are clearly bigger in every sense than Matchroom and Sky. Now jog on.
