    Crying in interviews for the last 12 months.

    Begging Hearn for a shot at Joshua...
    Calling Hearn out about protecting his 'cash cow'...
    "We want it.....They don't want it" attitude...


    Refuses to fight Pulev to become IBF mandatory for Joshua.




    There needs to be a new rule regarding Purse bids too!

    If you make a purse bid, but pullout because you lose, you should be removed from the top 10...
    You can't just throw your toys out the pram.

    Tbf, that's the worst terms for a mandatory I've ever heard of. 25%?! Pulevs not champ, no way should he get 75. 60 would be fair.

    A real 'businessman' would take the Pulev fight for 0% and then earn millions against Joshua.

    This is why all schools and colleges need to teach at least 1 business module.

    Eh @MVC! ?

    Not if they estimated their chances of winning the eliminator as lower than their chances of getting a fight with AJ anyway.

    Pulev should get on his yak cart and travel for a change

    Pulev

    Miller
    22 fights.....22 in the US.


    Stop acting like a stereotypical ignorant American.

    They should also introduce a rule where a fighter can't do a back room deal with a 3rd party to be paid less than officially agreed as part of the bid so the 3rd party and said fighter can't falsely inflate a purse bid to win the bid erroneously.

    I mean does anyone believe that a fight in Bulgaria in front of 12K fans where the average salary is 1/4 of what it is in the UK actually makes more money there than the UK?

    Maybe if Pulev didn't rig the purse bid people would be more amenable to fighting him in an eliminator and if you're willing to rig a purse bid what else are you willing to rig? The whole thing is shady.

    If you agree to go to purse bids...
    But back out when you lose the purse bid...

    You're also suggesting you're not willing to fight as the cards are not stacked in your favour.


    If you're scared about stacked cards, you don't enter the card game to begin with.

    They aren't scared about stacked cards because in reality a low draw like Pulev rarely has the deck stacked in his favour as proven by the fact Hearn out bid Pulev's promoter Kalle.

    What they are scared of is that the game is rigged the cards are marked and there is no way to win a bid fairly, which is the case when the amount being bid is likely to be a false number.

    Needs to stop hiding on obscure Euro-trash promotions.

    I wonder if it was that big win over Mo Harris that got him the high world ranking?

    That's the same Mo Harris Larry Holmes beat about 20 years ago.

    I'd also remove a contender for saying they need 6 months prep for a mandatory shot and then pulling out last minute. And yes, I do have a passionate dislike for Pulev. I feel like he's a rubbish euro level at best contender that has weirdly hoodwinked this site.

    Absolute crazy split, so the no. 1 can fight the no.2 and they get 3x as much as the no.2. No wonder guys like Beterbiev is struggling to get mandatory challengers. It should be 60-40 split or 55-45 if they are 1 spot apart.
