    Joshua is Hearn's golden goose. Drunken casuals from across Britain line up to line his pockets whenever and against whomever AJ fights but let's talk turkey.

    What do we think fast car actually pulls in from a Joshua fight? It might make his apprehension about making a Wilder fight a little bit clearer.

    One thing you better remember is that Hearn's limp knob old man is an accountant and AJ is a dumb as **** former drug dealer who can barely spell his own name. AJ is getting robbed blind and that's a fact. How the **** is AJ gonna know the difference if Hearn mis-reports income generated by a fight and pays him out the right percentage of the wrong number? The man is completely uneducated and relies on the advice of his "team" who are no doubt robbing him blind too.

    AJ is so dumb he turned down $50mn+ in one fight to sign a $100mn extension that runs for 3 YEARS!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA. The guy is a complete fool.

    You know the man is being robbed when his promoter and his promoter's bender father keep saying they're friends with the fighter. They take every chance to talk about their "partnership" and how AJ is "part of the matchroom family". That's some straight Don King level scamming right there.

    All we know for sure is AJ has plenty of money in his pocket to pay for all those gut-swelling PEDs he takes on the regular.

    I think he is just stalling hoping to get Whyte a shot at Wilder. I don't think Eddie has any interest at all in pitting Joshua up against Wilder.

    Obviously I'm not fussed about what Eddie has in his account. I just want to see the fight. I'm just trying understand what he seems so worries about.

    He seems worried that his cash cow would take a big hit, nevertheless I cant just blame Eddie. AJ has a mouth and if there is one person in the boxing world who can dictate to their promoter its AJ, his contract is almost up or up and he doesnt say much about wanting the fight. He said he was training for Wilder a month ago but suddenly an additional 8 weeks wont be enough hmm....

    Boxing insiders have long known AJ only pockets 42.1% of his fight purses. Here's the breakdown as per Michael Benson's twitter:

    Promoter's Fee - 14.2%
    Merchandising and Sponsorship Royalties - 9.6%
    Referee Bribery Fees - 3.8%
    UKAD Bribery Fees - 13.1%
    Glass Jaw Protection Surchage - 17.2%

    This is just what Hearn gets from AJs paycheck. He obviously skims a load off the top after Sky pay him for the event too. Apparently for every £1 AJ makes pre-tax Eddie Hearn personally makes £2.25

    It seems the level of profit is not tied to the level of risk at the moment, and Hearn would rather ride that wave for as long as it lasts and before the casual sports fan loses a little interest. Only then does a higher risk fight with Wilder make sense. I know you feel AJ would blast him out, but why risk anything at all when you're getting the reward regardless?

    I suppose you can also argue three fights ago Hearn put him in with Wlad - a bona fide risk before and evidentially so on reflection - and that was close to going very wrong. Parker wasn't a bad match-up either so perhaps Hearn feels justified plotting a safety-first approach before rolling the dice again?

    But he has to play the game. Dismissing the Wilder fight outright would tarnish his charge's take-on-all-comers image, so Hearn teases negotiations long enough to leave that fight dead in the water but reputations intact.

    Is there any extra cost for winning by British stoppage?

    Bothered? Who bothered? You bothered? Bout what?

    I believe that British Stoppages are fully covered by in clause 22.4.2 on Page 17 of AJ's matchroom contract:

    "22.4.2 - The Fighter gives permission to The Promoter to deduct a standard 3.8% Referee Bribery Fee from the final fight purse. Although the promoter cannot guarantee a positive fight outcome in all cases, any referee contracted for the fight will be instructed as per the standard Matchroom Referees Agreement (MRA) to ensure that all steps are taken to prevent loss. This includes but is not limited to preventing any activity from the opponent that may lead to glass jaw shattering, gas tank emptying or fear striking. The fighter is requested to defend the legitimacy of any premature stoppage regardless of crowd reaction. "

    I hope Joshua comes on here and reads this, then looks at his belts, then looks at his bank balance, then looks at his properties that he owns, then looks at the fighters within his own promotional company, then looks at his clothing range, Beauty product range and then has a look at his massive sell out fights he has won. And then comes back and reads your post again. I reckon he will laugh at your post more than youve laughed on it cuz your sounding like a big ****ing idiot.

    This shows that you know nothing about being a man. You talking about money, fame, clothing lines, etc. What the **** kind of ***** are you! Kim Kardashian has all that crap too, but she a hoe who got it for nothing. Just like AJ.

    Kings take Kings. AJ takes PEDs and Hearn's ****. He aint ****.

    So what you bringing up all that you brought up for? Its fine for you to say he is being robbed of his money by his promoter but when i point out that he seems to be doing OK you throw a barrage of abuse at me for it. Make your mind up sweet heart.

    Again, you sound like a ****ing idiot.
