So how long will AJ still be promoted by Hearn?

[craigjenkins05]

Either BT Or he will stay with Hearn think sky is tied up with Hearn for another four years on an exclusivity deal so couldn't work solely with AJ if they wanted too

[3132DW]

Can’t see why they’d split - AJ has his team for everything outwith Boxing Brand wise - Hearn manages all the stuff they don’t have time to get involved in.

The Brand itself is now so big he probably needs Hearn to do all the Boxing related business.

I do think Eddie is coming under his 1st bout of pressure. Frank & bt a
re upping their game and that show as a whole was an absolute shambles last night. All sorts of technical difficulties too. However, Joshua looks very beatable and although on top of the world at the moment, will it last? Personally I can't see him staying unbeaten over the next 2 years.

I think Warren can put on some decent fights but at the moment they're very heavily based around Frampton/Warrington/Selby.

DeGale is an interesting one but he's a free agent essentially, and Groves has been on more Hearn cards over the last few years than any other promoter. Saunders and Flanagan have no profile despite being with Warren for years.

Doubt it??

I am telling you now BT & Mr W arren have the financial muscle ... if you still doubt me, do your research.

BT & allegedly also have the ability to put on PPV events

From a casual check BT Sport is in around 1.7m homes in the UK and Sky are in around 12m across the UK and Ireland.

I genuinely think Warren's time has slightly passed as a promoter of genuinely massive fights, and that is all Joshua is going to be involved with from now on.

Are you really going to argue with Spud? He's not guessing.

I haven't got a clue who he is.

What I do know is that Warren is promoting shows at the Copperbox with 7,000 people in attendance at best and Hearn is doing around 75k for a Carlos Takam fight. I've said this before but please, stop drinking.

[boxingknockout]

Everyone can see Joshua, with the right advisers, will dump Hearn.

Joshis the biggest name in British sport - he doesn’t need some wax-faced smarmy groupie taking a large cut out of his money.

You think Fury is more popular than Joshua based on your mates telling you they prefer him when you're caning double vodkas.

He just isn't.

[Ossyrules]

Hearn is part of the machine that’s made Joshua massive. He deserves credit. I don’t see any break ups on the horizon right now

Mickey doesn't need me sticking up for him but mentioning drinking to him is a low blow and if you know the back story then it's pretty out of order to keep going after it.

[jamamb]

it seems to be working great as is for joshua, but for some ppl they always want even more. i guess it depends what type of person aj is and whether he wants to risk trying for more when it's already working great. is there an 'aj promotions' yet?

If you believe the documentary of Joshua’s story you’re lead to believe about his loyalty. Going back to his original amateur trainer and giving him a Beamer or some other flash car. Was a nice moment.

Still, money does change most people. I’m not aware of Joshua Promotions, but have read tweets about AJBXNG, so maybe he’s signing up young talent... what he’s offering I don’t know

[keithmoonhangover]

Back to back sold out stadiums. Multi million pound purses. The full backing of the SKY broadcasting machine.

There is absolutely no reason what-so-ever for AJ to leave Hearn.

You're out of order with these drinking comments. Give it a rest you rusty pudendum bucket.

[BitPlayer]

I think he'll stick with him, he's done an excellent job for him so far.

I don't dislike him as much as a lot of people, he's a douche but in a likeable way.

Sorry, but I genuinely couldn't care less. The man is perfectly happy to defend people saying gay people should be killed as harmless banter. I don't necessarily care about that, it's free speech and all that. I just find it interesting that when the tables are turned and it's pointed out that someone is a useless alcoholic that apparently you've crossed the line.

The hypocrisy is as hilarious as it is hypocritical.

[mickey1975]

I think you'll find I'm far from useless, Dirk. Now go learn about boxing and you might bring something useful to the forum.

Eddie made him.

A gold medal and knocking over a bum a month will only get you so far. AJ is now the most popular boxer since bruno, a large part of that is down to eddie’s marketing of him.

[Grilling Machine]

Joshua's ongoing need for Hearn relies on whether or not he loses. Unless he needs PR to recover his career after a shock loss, Hearn doesn't offer anything much that he can't get elsewhere at this point.

Exactly why it’s the perfect time to leave

[jamamb]

is eddie in charge of everything at matchroom. like, if someone is marketed well, is that down to him. do others not take the lead in marketing strategy, arranging appearences, etc

Hang your head in shame.
