    Very funny.

    But you are conflating communism with socialism there.

    Corbyn wants to nationalise the railways by not renewing their franchises when the contracts come up for renewal (great idea, they are conning the public)

    He wants to do the same with the energy companies (great idea, they are conning the public).

    And he wants to close many tax loopholes on the extremely wealthy (great idea, they are conning the public, especially starbucks, amazon, barclays, vodafone etc).

    There’s enough time between now and the end of 2018 for this fight to happen. Negotiations shouldn’t take too long? Wilder should realize he’s not going to get 50/50 but should be given a nice cut. It’s a bigger fight in Joshua’s back yard, unfortunately. So Wilder May have to fight across the pond which is a risk, but at the end of the day he’ll be compensated for agreeing to possibly fighting in London.

    I think Hearn is just doing his job as AJ’s promoter. His interest is maximizing the return for Joshua and positioning him as “the man” everyone is chasing. Wilder is doing what he is supposed to be doing. Knocking out whoever is put in front of him while talking up the unification fight with AJ. The fight is bubbling and it’s gaining more attention as the days, weeks and months wear on. I have little doubt this fight happens next year barring any upsets in the Joshua/Parker and Wilder/Whyte fights.

    Sorry, but this bull was debunked earlier this week.

    Enough of this "maximizing" garbage. Why isn't Hearn MAXIMIZING the PARKER-Joshua fight? Why isn't he purposely pushing that back to make it bigger?

    It's nonsense.

    You know how you make Wilder-Joshua a BIG FIGHT?

    YOU MAKE THE FIGHT. You PUT THEM IN THE RING. You let them fight!

    You don't "maximize" it by having them fight lesser people. It's a stall. That's it.

    Joshua and Wilder are the top two right now. They aren't going to get BIGGER than the top two.

    I'm sure Deontay Wilder and his people will be MORE THAN HAPPY to fight Anthony Joshua first in 2018 ...

    So Eddie Hearn can MAXIMIZE the Joshua-Parker fight.

    I'm sure Deontay would love to help them out with that.

    Well that fight hasn't happened yet either. The Parker fight doesn't seem like it could get much bigger. The Wilder fight seems to have more potential to be bigger.

    There is no arena which can get the money needed to make this site until the Summer. If they fought in March, they won't get as much money as say fighting in the Summer. Its business, its why Canelo waits for Mexican Holidays to maximise £££. And how the hell is it a stall tactic if they say "we're fighting in 2018"
    AJ and Hearn are making the fight, and they have every damn right to wait till they have am arena spare to maximise the ££ from the event. Its how Hearn earns his money, and doesn't lose it.

    AND, there is still the WBA mand for AJ to sort out, that takes priority over all(AJ wants to unify the division, not lose belts whilst chasing one), unless they say you can have 9 more months, which is unlikely seeing as they've been waiting for this mando to be done since Jan 2017

    I expect the mando to be in place for early next year, Summer is free for both fighters, that's when he fight happens, for the 2 massive reasons I just listed above.

    I wouldn’t call it “debunked”. The reality is the biggest fight to be made is the Joshua/Wilder fight. Deontay has been doing a tremendous job staying on Hearns and Joshua calling them out every chance he gets. It’s hard to maximize a Parker or Whyte fight with a very loud and relentless Wilder is promoting himself as the only real opponent for Anthony.

    The Parker fight hasn’t even been solidified yet. There’s a groundswell forming at the moment for the Wilder fight so Hearn is simply planting the seed. There’s no need to push back the Parker fight when his sights are set on elevating the fight everyone want to see most....that’s the match up with the American Champion.

    As you know, Boxing is just as much a business as it is a sport. So from that lens, “just making the fight” doesn’t make a whole lot of business sense. These guys aren’t at the end of their careers so no one is getting old or at risk to be impacted by Father Time. As a promoter and business man, Hearn is doing exactly when is expected. Wetting the appetite of the public with a Parker fight....possibly a Wilder/Whyte fight and letting the Joshua/Wilder unification fight bake until it is anticipated by everyone...not just the segment of hardcore fans who know who Joshua and Wilder are.
