Eddie is funny af. Wilder must get ticked seeing that knowing its the truth and knowing he cant change that until he takes the 15 mill he is running from in order to keep his beloved trinket.
I wonder if those fans understood what he was getting at or if they just repeated their mantra again like mindless zombies. I'm also assuming some variation of "take the fifty million baby!" was uttered by those mental colossi at some point in the verbal proceedings.
Ever since the DAZN deal has been made public it's become more and more the Eddie Hearn show and that dude's ego is bigger than Miller's gut after a visit to McDonald's. He's even taken to trash talking Finkel like he's the boxer not Joshua. Being wheeled on to promote Hearn's new plaything isn't gonna have made AJ feel particularly Alpha male. And he knew the Miller confrontation had been planned too, with Povetkin standing there looking on, no doubt feeling overlooked. It was cringeworthy. You're right, AJ looked like he'd rather be anywhere else....
He didn't do ****. Another pathetic quip from car salesman Hearn. That press conference was an utter embarrassment after he promised so many big name stars. "I will be the biggest promoter in the US"... just lmfao Hearn.
Would never happen, can't see Eddie agreeing to sign with Haymon like almost every other Wilder opponent. Only chance he gets is if Hearn can become mandatory, but I'm sure the WBC will just make it a final eliminator for the 13th mandatory shot, once Wilder's other mandatory opponents, Martin, Kownacki, Hunter Jr, BJ Flores and any other heavies Haymon can dig up, get their shots.
It'll be a final eliminator for a final eliminator to enter the lottery for the prestigious chance of becoming WBC number 14 1/2, if Mauricio Suleiman's feeling generous on that day.
True. So Hearn should have been humble rather than to make grandiose statements about taking over America and forming the “biggest stable in boxing”.
It's called self promotion, he was never going to come out and say, "hey guys I've got this new platform for boxing, which might work, that you might like, i'll hope to sign some OK fighters, try tuning in please, it's going to be really mediocre." In this day and age you have to make grandiose statements to get peoples attentions. Set's him up to fail but that's the price of ambition.
