    Seems Hearns has sent out the bribe payment to the IBF in time. Fury's team must have missed that.

    Eddie Hearn is a good promoter to pull this off!

    No exception for Fury when they effectively handed his belt to Can Martin.

    Joshua constitutes a money printing press and is being successfully marketed as a widely admired and respected sportsman by the mainstream media and general British public. Most of the time, all of the relevant institutions involved with him in any way will provide most advantages to him where possible. This marketing is shifting into a global scope now.

    Hearn explained all this in an IFL interview recently, Hearn just knows the rules, he knew what to do, Team Fury obviously didn't.

    I'm not saying it is right or fair but Hearn has played it by the IBF's own rules and got a result.

    I think you have to tip your hat to Hearn, he knows what he is doing.

    You either believe Hearn or believe Fury didn't know the rules.

    Im inclined to believe Hearn is saying what he must to protect his interests.

    I am a fan of AJ and I'm sold on his potential huge upside, but I'll be the first to admit that he's going to get all kinds of little advantages and breaks, especially as long as he is able to keep his 0. The people around him fully realise that he is a massive marketing opportunity and they are doing a superb job in all aspects of marketing him.

    Eddie Hearn on IFL. Well, that must be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. We need look no further.
