If I was Eddie Hearn, my next move to Joshua would be Pulev

Pulev yeah.. This arrogant fool should be knocked out for picking bums like Samuel Peter or Kevin Johson. Are those guys even bums?

 

I keep telling people this but it's like no one listens.

Pulev DECLINED 3 career-high offers to fight Joshua in December, there are Eddie Hearn video interviews where he explains all about it.

Pulev will only be getting 25% as mandatory challenger now which will be significantly less than what Hearn would have offered him for December so you really think that Pulev is going to take a fight now that he already recently declined for far less money?

I fully expect Pulev to give up his IBF ranking as mandatory challenger, and go back to fighting the Peter's and Johnson's of the world.

 

I,d rather see Wilder vs Pulev...
AJ should fight Ortiz

 

I said a while back that Pulev would have prepared Joshua for Wlad, since Pulev is a mini-Wlad.

 

Outside of the title holders the division is pretty weak pickings. Maybe go after Hughie Fury to set up a massive showdown with Tyson?

 

Something tells me Hearn would opt against making it ppv. If he does, then expect that £20m you quoted to be much, much lower!

 

Totally agree with him being money!

But even Hearn needs to recognise that he can't flog TF out of AJ at every turn cos though the UK fanbase is incredibly loyal, we're incredibly flippant, I find. There's already been rumblings and murmurs with regards to their strange partnership with Stubhub...

Though this could be attributed to Hearn having to meet targets set and agreed with by Matchroom and SkySports

 

I've said it many times on here: Pulev is the most overrated contender of the last 10 years minimum. A post prime Wlad that struggled with Jennings not to long after battered him from pillar to post and we'll see an equally destructive performance from Joshua is Pulev steps up.

The Bulgarian likely gets waxed if he fights Wilder or Parker too and he knows it.

 

I heard Hearn's did not offer him anything as good as 25%. So Pulev waited to get the mandatory fight, so he could get his fair share of 25%.

 

You under estimate the hunger and willingness of UK fans to pay out, every fight Joshua has will be PPV now. Hell every fight since Whyte has been PPV. Why on earth wouldn't it be PPV? It's pretty much the market model in the UK once you reach AJ's level of popularity that every fight will be PPV now.

 

Agreed he's nothing special at all, not fast, doesn't hit hard, easy to hit, a real plodder, no head movement, he's just awkward, has a good jab, and knows how to clinch like his life depended on it.

 

Yes. And I expect the prices to progressively increase by bits irrespective of the opponent.
