Imagine if like Barry Hearn, Shelly Finkel said in an interview that he wants Wilder-AJ in two years when it generates 600 million instead of 60 million, and that they have a long term plan to make Wilder a billionaire and won't be rushed. Imagine!? Hatman would have made several dozen videos about it. But he has made ZERO about that Barry Hearn video. Eddie sells you tomorrow, today. I've noticed in his recent interviews over in America that he himself has been the planting the 'long term AJ plan' seed, and has mentioned the possibility of fighting in China (would be against that Chinese bum). Expect him to keep dropping those seeds in the coming months.
Shelley Finkel wouldn't say that, because it's not true. Wilder has been managed by guys stuck in the huckster mode that damaged US boxing in the 90's and 00's. All about building around that 0 for eventual PPV riches. Yesterday's sporting model. There's surely no doubt by now there's a long term plan for AJ's career? That involves developing his following in major markets? That involves China etc? He earned $47m last year alone. They're managing a brand and Eddie Hearn is only one part of it.
@2fast2fury my original stance a month ago. It’s the actions of those involved who’ve since made me sceptical.
