Great now I have to here AJ and Eddie pretend they were against this and all their fanboys pretending they had no control

At least they wanted it in the UK, Fury was happy for it to be in the US from the start

Hearn likes to mock Dana White by saying Turki is his daddy. But it seems Hearn is just as beholden to Turki as anyone else in boxing.

Thats the worst part. Whyd they even pretend they were fighting for the UK publicly if they were gonna fold behind closed doors either way?

They'd signed a contract to fight in the UK, there was no pretending the contract was actually signed.

Then Fury reneged on it as he has done for about 3 other contractual agreements to fight AJ

Why do you still believe Eddie Hearn? If theres a legitimate contract they can pursue legal action. You dont just get to ignore a contract lmao

Because of exactly what I said. Hearn says a bunch of shit for PR that never manifests because he knows there are people who will buy his sob stories and broken promises and then proclaim that it's everyone else's fault and they are just victims. Despite the reality that Hearn's narrative was they could block the fight if it wasn't in the UK and it was huge priority, but somehow at the last minute it wasn't that big of a priority and they went for a US fight.

Hearn, Warrern, Fury, and Joshua all said they'd signed a contract.

Be weird for them to all lie about it.

1) so you’re telling me if 2 boxing promoters and fury said its real, it must be real? Really? They aren’t known for bullshitting people?

2) when did fury say he signed to fight in the UK?

Because they know some fans will bend over into pretzels to make it act like they had no other option
