    Yeah because Eddie Hearn will just sit back and let a ex-drug dealer who probably didnt even pass his Gcse's never mind University walk all over his Profits and Family Empire.Hearn is a Privately Educated,Slick and tailor made for mugging people off.He has the hands on Joshua one way or another.He has it on Sky,a Billionare Cooperation, why not Femi.

    This is quite an interesting article....

    https://thekingmaker.me/matchroom-financials/

    So in 14/15 Eddie had a 15% stake in Matchroom himself.

    Additionally if you look at the boxing attendances in that period, you can see the advantage of adding 2/3 70000 ticket Joshua shows a year (plus the ppv sale)

    Whatever happens matchroom will come out ontop. Boxers are not equipt for this game. Thats why they fight and are not business men no matter what Joshua thinks

    Hearn and the family are ultimate wideboys and will use Joshua or anyone else for that matter for their own gain. They may throw a couple crumbs AJs way to keep him sweet but that's it.

    £35 million a fight guaranteed for ten fights would be very difficult to turn down I feel.

    That video reminded just me of a scene from The Office

    Joshua (Chris Finch)
    Hearn (David Brent)
    Adam Smith (Gareth)

    This is not a sustainable strategy by Hearn and proves how dependent he is on AJ.

    AJ could lose to Parker and get bounced by Wilder and just be an also ran in 2 fights. If that happens then this deal looks crazy.

    AJ doesnt look invincible and will not have longevity at the top of the HW division either.

    Hearn should have focused on other stars, and back ups and let AJ walk. No way would AJ have actually walked.

    I get that this is a running joke.

    However if AJ did sign with Frank he would still sell out stadiums.
