    Eddie Hearn doesn't want Joshua to fight Wilder because he will lose his £15,000,000 a fight cash cow......


    That argument looks a little foolish now.

    Let's hope he has some good commentators lined up as well....

    I bet Fury and BJS are having a rather "interesting" whatsapp convo as we speak...#jumpin'ship

    Yeah that does seem rather trivial now when you think how much money he has secured over the next eight years. £15 mill is peanuts in comparison to the £89 mill he's basically secured every year for the next 8 years. Joshua could lose all his fans tomorrow and Hearn and Matchroom will continue operating for 8 years as a big player in boxing and that's a long time to find another star or 2 should his current cash cow crash and burn.

    If he gets Wilder on board then he has a spare if Joshua gets starched to face Fury.

    This is risk free aswell, that's why it's so perfect.

    It has no financial impact upon all the other stuff matchroom do too.


    I tell you one thing, BT Boxing/Boxnation is dead now.
