It says nothing. "Talks start today." I thought they were supposed to start Monday? It's Thursday, isn't it? So Hearn's plan was to lose three days of talks, then send out a Twitter on Thursday saying they're going to START talks." The guy is a clown. The headline should read: "Hearn stalls three days and then tries to convince Wilder to fight anyone else but Joshua next."
BREAKING: @EddieHearn tells @SkySportsNews that @anthonyfjoshua will fight @BronzeBomber in 2018. Talks start today. #ssn
Hearn desperately needs to make this fight happen soon to get his popularity up again. He was really upset because of the booing he got after AJ vs. Takam...he cried himself to sleep that night.
As soon as this came out Blizzy who was posting like mad goes silent, lmao, Probably changing his panties.
The president of the Wilder fanclub (based in Alabama) is particularly pleased. https://permanentplastichelmet.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/screen-shot-2013-11-21-at-17-12-37.png
I think this will make it even worse. Now he will be japping how AJ will find a way out and after its signed, he will japp about AJ being forced into the fight. Its going to be brutal
Eddie Hearn spent three days walking New York streets asking if anyone knew who Christian Hammer was.
The president of the Joshua fan club is concerned. https://kriofskemix.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/waiting-for-guffman.jpg
You mean the guy about to fight povetkin who Beyonce ran like a ***** from? The guy who's resume is as good as Wilders? LMFAO.
Povetkin has brought in BJ Flores to be the backup when he fails his prefight drug test AGAIN and Hammer walks away. (Not kidding.)
Deontay's tweet next week: "the money aint right fools, you gotta get paid, the #bombsquad gotta put put food on the table." Deontay's tweet in 2 weeks time: "Imma fighting Dave the plumber in 2,000 seater sell out February!! #boom #bronzebomber #abouttowhoopAZZ"
Joshua asks 70,000 British fans two weeks ago who they want to see him fight next. The fans yell in unison "WILDER!" Joshua smiles, gulps hard. The announcer asks "Wilder is watching at home. Do you want to fight him?" Joshua says, "Well, it has to happen. But the IBO, WBA and IBF have mandatories. Once I fulfill these obligations .... blah blah blah" (even though he has none) WITH THAT, Joshua became the first heavyweight champion to ever refuse a unification with his most dangerous opponent because he "MIGHT HAVE AN IBO MANDATORY." Freaking IBO? AMAZING. THE IBO!!!!! Begins at the 2:30 mark This content is protected
It was reported yesterday that Finkel and Haymon are meeting with Hearn for breakfast in NYC to discuss the fight. Hearn is likely saying "the fight IS ON!" when he means "the breakfast egg, sausage, and toast bundle IS ON the table!" And then he can say something like "well we did negotiate the fight a bit over breakfast but they weren't interested." And then Finkel can say something like "we invited him to breakfast to discuss the fight but he wasn't very interested." And both fan bases will go nuts regurgitating either side... I wouldn't be surprised though if they come to an agreement for late summer-ish, after Joshua/Miller and Wilder/Breazeale. This is boxing. That is what I expect to happen.
The guy was just naming his belts straight after a fight, you are nitpicking, because he mentioned his IBO belt. He doesn't want to lose a belt, especially the WBA and IBF, (doubt he actually cares about the IBO), so he has to face his mandatories. The headline here is AJ will fight him when he is free!
