IFL have other interviewers , , and theres other shows he usually gets on , anyway i would think he's too busy drafting excuses , Although Shelley did say they will probably make Edied another offer , so theres his way out

Both Wilder and Fury are the biggest fights to make by a long long way for Joshua. Do you really think that Hearn/AJ want to dodge them?! It’s not as though AJ has been softly matched so far.

If it was Barry then it wouldn’t have surprised me if they’d tried to milk AJ a little more.

From what I’ve seen this morning Eddie’s flying out/has flown out to LA today.

I think they’ll be making Wilder a massive offer for April at Wembley. If Wilder rematches Fury then the PPV buys will be massively up against the show from this weekend so Eddie/AJ have to strike now really.

Not so sure there will be a rematch , i think talks will break down over where the fight will be , Fury will and rightly so want it in the UK ,after all he's done his bit , I doubt Wilder will go there he'll have to knock fury over 6 rnds straight to get a draw , Shelley straight after suggesting they will probably make Hearn another offer , speaks volumes .


A draw was not a good result for Wilder , its now left him with a rematch to a guy that , possibly could be better next time , in the UK or accept , what Hearn offers , interesting division at the moment Tyson has really stirred it up .

Well this all takes the heat out of the AJ April show doesn't it?

If it is anyone other than Fury or Wilder, rightly or wrongly, they will be slaughtered

Hean has no reason to be quiet....he and Joshua are in an improved position really. The draw and obvious controversy between Fury/Wilder certainly doesn't hurt Joshua or Hearn. It actually helps them because Wilder has lost some credibility given that he should have lost, and Fury rightly or wrongly hasn't added a WBC strap to his linear status.

It actually makes it more likely that Wilder and his team will be easier to deal with......because if they take an immediate Fury rematch they are literally gambling millions of dollars, given that a fight against Joshua is worth so much more to them.

They took Fury the first time because they felt he was finished, it was a calculated gamble. But Fury showed them he still has plenty in the tank, but Wilder somehow got away with a draw. Do they really want to gamble again in an immediate rematch or will they seek to try and cash in against Joshua?

They lose against AJ he'll have got paid out at least. And if Wilder could hit the jackpot against Joshua, then the rematch with Fury would be worth even more and would be for all the marbles.

I'll be surprised if Wilder's camp don't make the Joshua fight the priority....even though they now certainly owe Fury the rematch.

Hearn and Joshua can sit back and wait to hear from Wilder now.

Hearn was active on Twitter, both during and after the fight. He said he had Fury winning the fight, and (rightly) criticised the judge who scored 115-111 Wilder.

He's also clarified that Joshua's aim is to collect all the belts, and that he also wants to make Joshua vs Fury.

The YouTube lot will catch up with him in due course. Hopefully, Wilder's team will actually agree to a meeting with Hearn this time.

I would be surprised if Hearn isnt trying to get one of Wilder or Fury as the opponent for the April show

With all the help Wilder's had on his scorecards (needed, or not) over the past few years, he'd have zero right to complain if one was weighted in the opposite direction.

To be honest though, I haven't paid a lot of attention to the judging on Warren cards lately. I may be wrong, but the hometown scoring seems to be a far bigger issue on Matchroom shows.

AJ has the belts, if Fury was blown away there would only be one big fight out there for him, now there are two big fights.
Hearn has big backing, his fighter the belts, the fights will still happen, for enormous money, after AJ has earned big money against the likes of Miller, Whyte and Pulev.

He’s probably still not sure if it’s going to happen.

How could you sell a rematch against Whyte of god forbid a fight with Chisora if he won ?

If Chisora wins the Whyte rematch will be a hard sell. We'd be more likely to see a third fight between those two.

Eddie has tweeted he is flying to LA, now if I was him, I'd be making wilder an offer that he cannot refuse.

The draw was the ideal result for Eddie and AJ to present an offer.

Had wilder won, it would mean wilder would be the man who beat the man etc, a superb name and he would be wanting 50/50 no doubt.

Had fury won, the rematch would have kicked in, probably freezing AJ out for another fight and potentially the 3rd rubber fight.

But the fact both guys are calling AJ put speaks volumes over the rematch and how the scene is heading. Both know they could have lost Saturday, so potentially a fight with AJ before the rematch is the win win scenario.

Wilder fights AJ and wins he has all the belts, and brings fury back to the states, fury wins v AJ he has his belts back and wilder is the one who should be travelling. If either lost then they still have the rematch & a massive bank balance.

agree...draw was a good result for hearn

wlders standing as the guy aj has to fight drops and now furys also there as a bigger possblty. had wlder one hed have a much stronger standng and the preassure would be huge to face dw. had fury one fury would surely be tied up wth a rematch.

but nether won and theres less pressure and more potential options now for hearn and aj. and were aj to defeat ether guy he could say he beat someone the other guy couldnt

ppl on about 'lol hearn/hearn must be sh!ttng' are prob just wishful

is the AJ fight the best money fight for Fury/Wilder ?
AJ is unknown in states, so its really just UK PPV plus stadium ticket
& 40% tops split... but that split is 40% after costs

costs = 50% of PPV to SKY, & less 20% Matchroom isn't it ???

Fury v Wider II, is probably x3 the numbers of the first PPV @ $70 + UK PPV which will be ALOT higher than this time

I must be the only person that's pleased Hearn is being quiet.

You normally can't get away from his noise.

same price, US PPV prices are dear

I imagine this didn't do massive numbers, but the 12th round drama has made the return huge

Absolute nightmare scenario for Matchroom....Fury’s stock has gone into the stratosphere.. Every casual wants a rematch...and Hearns gotta try and sell a fight against Whyte. All he needs now is Chisora to spark Whyte...,,,and his arse will be flapping..
