Simple as this, if AJ won we'd be seeing AJ v Fury next fight. Because he lost, Eddie is giving his boy Whyte the chance and definitely ducked Wallin because they know he's dangerous.

[@kylegill4932]

Dangerous? In what way? He’s a decent southpaw, can box with both hands, decent engine, good combinations. He’s average basically, he does all the normal stuff that an active heavyweight should be good at. He doesn’t really carry power, he has slashing punches, and i really can’t see him outboxing whyte even being a southpaw, whyte is a very underrated boxer.

[@jakewalker1327]

No he didn’t lol

[@illnamethisaccountlater4762]

From a matchroom perspective, if Dillian was always planning to pull out once he knew the fury fight was happening. Matchroom would have pulled him from the card ages ago as it would have given them more time to find an opponent for wallin or add another 'big' fight to add to the card. Matchroom have lost a fortune as result of this issue.

[@moh7354]

Simon is on a different level in his line of work👍

[@martinshaw8582]

DW knows he'll get KO'd by Wallin. Fury is the bigger pay day to have his career ended.

Simon should be a judge. An honest one.

Whatever the reason he's pulled out he'll do Whatevers best for his career, is that fair on wallin n his team or respectful...no course its not, has whyte been treated fairly n respectfully by the boxing boards...again no he hasn't, is boxing fair n respectful, no absolutely not so get over it n get on with it

[@1man1bike1road]

[@ryanmckenna7900]

Simon is right, Eddie would have always known regardless of the Joshua outcome, that Whyte would be called for the WBC mandatory position - so for Eddie to act like “oh he wasn’t mandatory until four 4 weeks ago” is a load of rubbish.

[@mustard832]

Simon always has the courage to ask tough questions. He has no allegiance

[@anthonyarnold9176]

When it happens to others (increase in ppv, pulling out of fights, lack of medical reports, quality of cards dropping) it is unacceptable. When it happens at matchroom 'it happens all the time, it's just boxing' once a double glazing salesman....

Eddie got exposed. Since AJ lost he's thrown his weight behind Dilian Whyte all of a sudden when he would have been asking him to step aside if AJ had beaten Usyk.

[@abjuhnior1736]

If you ask me, Eddie is in an easier position, The situation turned out well for him. Had AJ won, the narrative would be the undisputed takes preceedence resulting to Whyte having to wait a lil longer to which we all know that's a bit unfair. BTW Whyte is a free agent. If AJ had won, Eddie wuold simply be looking out for his client.

[@hldn9531]

You couldn't be more wrong- AJ for the rest of time will outsell Whyte in PPVs and tickets so he will be Hearns fav. He's not throwing his weight, he's literally promoting him and his fight- what did you think Hearns job was?

[@reece940]

Exposed? 😂 Whytes own legal team have had 2 legal disputes with the wbc over the past 18 months. Eddie has never had Whyte under contract and has had him headlining PPV shows for ages making big money, so he hasn't got behind him all of a sudden at all, it's exactly the same as its always been.

Yes there are short term profits and long term profitability..eddie is interested in the short term profits, but if he keeps up with his cynical man maneuvering then the long term profitability will reduce due to fans walking..however the short term cash pays for the RR and that's all he cares about

not saying Hearn id telling the truth but Hearn owed Jordan in this.

[@Shamraz]

David Haye had a broken toe..still fought 🤔 🤣

[@adamrowland830]

Eddie has looked after dillian he was never going to be Eddie's poster boy like aj , but after dillian got ko against povetkin some other promoters wouldn't have been able to pull the strings for dillian and let him go into the wilderness

[@jack7195]

Simon isn't a journalist, yet is the best one I see around

[@danfors1333]

No matter what Whyte would have earned fighting Wallin, he knows he earns ten times that money if fighting Fury, so of course he ducks fighting Wallin to be guaranteed fighting Gypsy King. It's a bitch move considering Whyte talked loads of shit towards Wallin and now ducks without Wallin getting any money at all to cover the training costs, hard efforts and wasted time.

Let's be honest, Whyte pulled out because risk/reward suddenly got even worse. If this was the WBC title fight, he wouldn't be pulling out.

Eddie, you need to get up earlier to try and blag like that mate. Clear to see what’s happened. And when they fight, Fury doesn’t lose a single round to the tomato can man

[@randolfduff239]

Your100% right but Eddie needs the revenue from the WHyte v Fury fight and the reason he and the red-faced dosser (Bazza) are suddenly talking about purse bids is that they also need the fight on DAZN

Stinks of utter crap, boxing is fixed. Corruption to it core. Tyson fury will get injured before match, classic
