Joshua vs. Paul: Hearn reveals huge money demands and doubts December clash

Eddie Hearn says Anthony Joshua has no plans to fight anyone else in December, except Jake Paul. Matchroom promoter Hahn sees Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) as unreliable for the amount he’s looking for to face former two-time heavyweight champion Joshua.

Paul’s economic expectations

Hearn says he believes Jake at least wants $40 million Because to fight Joshua (28-4, 25 Cos), he knows how “dangerous” the fight is for him. Eddie says former AJ knockout victim Francis Ngannow will do so. “Destroy” pole. Hearn may be right. Ngannou approached by beating Tyson Fury in 2023 and dropped him into a battle that was scored as a 10-round draw.

“For us, we’re planning on fighting someone other than Jake Paul because Jake can’t rely on accepting the fight,” promoter Eddie Hearn said. Stepping stone About Anthony Joshua’s next fight.

Torki’s indifference

For the money Paul wants, unless Turki Arrassic is interested in the fight, it will come out of Khan’s price range. He appears to have been unwilling to have a Canelo Alvarez vs Jake Paul fight in February. Turki liked Canelo to fight “A real fighter.” It is unlikely that Turki has changed his mind about this subject. If you consider Jake a YouTuber, you wouldn’t want to fund the fight between him and Joshua.

“The fight is huge. The more we talk about it, the more we realize how big it is, the more we want to do it if he (Jake Paul) wants to do it.

The Dangerous Battle of Joshua

“There’s no chance ($15 million to agree with Jake). There’s no chance ($25 million). You’re getting warmer,” said Hearn when asked if Paul would ask for $40 million to fight Anthony Joshua. “He has people around him around him who pump into his head saying he is Ali’s second coming. He’s not a fool. He knows the risks associated with this fight, and this fight is very dangerous.”

Hahn’s Dazen needs

Could Hearn come up with his own money to fight between AJ and Paul? He needs Dazen to tip in so that he comes up with the money that Jake and Joshua expect to be paid for this fight.

“We really need to consider that when we go into this fight. But for the right amount of money in that virus moment, I think Jake will do it. He doesn’t do it. He’s not a fool. He knows it’s dangerous.
