Eddie Hearn: Joshua Vs. Paul could be a ‘biggest battle in boxing’ commercially

Eddie Hearn says that Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul is “the largest fighting in boxing” commercially. He now sees the potential of this fight as the biggest one out there. Hearn on Sunday revealed that the conversations were in an “advanced” stage for Joshua-Paul’s fighting, and he believes it will happen.

Hearn’s ‘Advanced’ Fighting Negotiations

“I’d say higher is the word that baiters clicked would produce,” said Eddie Hearn The stomping land About how far it is in discussions about a battle between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul. “I never expected this battle to happen, but the more conversations I have, the more I think there is a very good chance it can happen.”

Much has changed in Jake Paul’s career to make it an appealing option for Joshua to fight now. He had his two fights with Mike Tyson and Julio Caesar Chavez Jr. who attracted a lot of attention. Rebuilding four Hearn fights of AJ was a complete failure.

“I think Jake Paul wants the fight. Don’t ask me, But he thinks he can win, And that’s even more dangerous. You can get in and think, ‘Well, if I’m hurt.’ No, he is convinced that he beats Anthony Joshua, ”said Hearn.” Be careful what you want for because this is not what you are used to. Respect for taking the challenge, and we’ll see if it will come away. “

Jake knows what he sees. AJ is thoroughly washed at this point, his chin is gone, and his only thing left is his power. But that’s not enough for him to rely on beating Paul because, unless he lands early, he’s going to be cast out as he did in his last battle against Daniel Dubois. There is nothing left of the Joshua who turned in Pro in 2013. I know that’s hard for Hearn to accept it, but that’s the reality. AJ’s punch resistance has disappeared, and hardly holds on to what is left of his career.

‘Most Fighting’ in Boxing

“Numbers are probably wise,” said Hearn, responding to knowing that Frank Smith said Joshua vs Paul is more than Joshua vs Tyson Fury. “Obviously, for boxing, Aj-Fury is the one, but I understand that commercially, this is probably the biggest battle in boxing,” Hearn said about Joshua vs Paul.

Joshua-Paul is not only likely to make better numbers than Joshua vs Fury, but also Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford. Jake Paul has a larger public profile and social media follows than Canelo, which means he can advertise directly to his 28 million Instagram followers and 20.9 million YouTube subscribers. Alvarez does not have that kind of reach, and, of course, Crawford is not in the same galaxy as Paul. He is a fighter on the edges by comparison.

“I’m not going to tell you he’s a fighting competitor of the year. I’m not going to tell you it’s competitive. I think it’s a mistake, and I think It will mean that Jake Paul will leave the sport forever. Because I don’t think he’ll ever step back into the ring after he was engaged by Anthony Joshua, ”said Hearn.” There are many people who would love to see that. “

Jake Paul’s financial power

Hearn seems to be determined to see Jake Paul leaving the sport for some reason. I wonder why so much hostility towards him when he makes AJ a great favor by giving him a fight late in his career. It’s not like Joshua has any other options to have a huge payday at this point. The only other battle he could possibly get that would pay well is against Tyson Fury, but he doesn’t come back to face it. As such, Jake is the only battle out there over Joshua.

“People tell me, ‘What does Anthony get from it?’ He is allowed to take part in one of the biggest events ever.

Eddie has not said what Joshua will do if he misses the battle to Jake Paul. Shall we say goodbye to AJ? It’s hard to imagine that he fights on if he is cast out by Paul in a similar way to how he was in his last fight against Daniel Dubois. I guess they could get Joshua vs Paul’s re -sentence, which would make a lot of money. But to do that, Hearn might have to cook some good excuses to explain why he lost AJ.
