REED Would Apologize for Hurting Your Feelings, Apparently, but he DOESN'T Give a Fuck... Bitch... REED
you think a mere six weeks is enough time to mold one's physique into this type of peak condition??? for what is likely 10 times the amount he's earned for any fight purse
Thing Is, Kownacki was LIKELY in Camp Helping Chunky Jarrell Get Ready for Joshua Anyways...Sparring Every Other Day if NATHAN Else... DOUBTFUL he was Just Sitting On his Ass... Should've TAKEN This Opportunity for Sure...Kownacki HAS Decent Offensive Skills...Should've Taken that Leap of Faith Because the "Late Replacement" Excuse was ALREADY Built-In for Him, Win, Lose or Draw... As Is, Kownacki Could Very Easily LOSE to a Lesser Guy and NEVER See This Type of Financial Windfall Again... REED
you're such an idiot. Call Golota pussy all you want but one thing Kownacki is not is a pussy. This guy is nothing but heart and balls.
very possible but he truly believes he needs at least a 2 month camp to challenge for a title. He already stated that he would fight Wilder in May (before Beazale was announced) as long as the fight is offered within the right time frame. He repeatedly stated he really wants to win the title and wants to come in at 100% because he might never have the opportunity again.
Agree with Boss. You can't blame a rising guy for wanting enough time to prepare for the most important fight of his life
thank you. gotta love posters with a brain instead of some cubicle bitch who's calling everyone a faggot and a pussy
But By Your OWN Admission, Kownacki ISN'T Even a 'Real Fighter', By Virtue of Being in Boxing in Lieu of MMA??? Which Is It Mr. "Poster w/a Brain"?.... REED
What if he's ALREADY Been in the Gym Helping his Boy Prepare for the Same Opponent???... What if he LOSES BADLY to Some Non-Descript Heavyweight for a Couple Hundred Grand Instead???...REED Ain't Calling Kownacki a Bitch, Coward or Anything, but this was a NO LOSE Proposition for Him, Clearly... REED Seriously Doubts Kownacki's TOTAL Fight Purses to This Point Add Up to What he'd Make in 1 Fight vs. Joshua... REED
Given that Joshua will be earning nothing now, yes, £5m seems reasonable, cos if I am Joshua I wouldn't train for 12 weeks or whatever only for it to be all wasted. But we never know in boxing, The instinct with certain people, like Hearn, is always to turn a negative into a massive positive. And a great 3-4 round firefight where his man wins by KO in front of a rabid Polish-American audience and Eddie saves £3-4m is precisely the sort of stroke I would regard Hearn as being more than capable of. I don't say Kownacki wasn't offered £5m but it's entirely possible he was offered jack shit and got upset about it. Again, Hearn fucks Joshua, puts out some negative press about Kownacki, seems believable to most people, Hearn doesn't win but he's still "undefeated" and probably sues Millers team in some way shape or form for nixing the fight.
AGain the underlying logic makes perfect sense, but likewise it's entirely possible Hearn wanted options, offered fuck all, thought he could just rush Kownacki thus covering his own ass. Hearn should have planned for this eventuality by having a proper fucking undercard HW attraction whereby he could just transfer one guy into the main slot. Instead.........we got doo-doo.
What's STRANGE Is Hearn Was Prepared when Kubrat Pulev Had to Postpone His Mandatory Shot @ Joshua; In Walks Carlos Takam, Who Was On Paper The Entire Time and Being PAID to Stay in Shape Just in Case.... Makes NOfuckingSENSE @ All that Hearn Would Then Get Caught w/His Pants Down for Joshua's American Debut, @ MSG... REED
Hearn could just be incompetent. Or he could have found himself not wanting to put the money up. Either ways, he gets to blame Miller, he gets to blame Kownacki, so he's happy regardless. If I was Joshua, I'd be outraged
seems like the fight will go on no matter what, and joshua will still get paid what he was originally gonna get paid. they just keep looking until they find an opponent willing to take the offer. joshua gets paid the same for an easier fight and hearn gets to milk him even longer and can still make the miller fight down the line when this shit blows over
The difference with Pulev situation is that that bout was cancelled few days beforehand, at which point almost any replacement will do. Now the fight is only after six weeks. Also the timing is very unfortunate as most top guys have fights scheduled
