Wilder's 50 million offer to Joshua and Hearn's possible objections

STFU you clown nobody believes you negotiated boxing deals. Just because you don't believe it doesn't mean it isn't true. Bet me and I'll be very happy to prove whatever you want. What we do know is this isn't how it's normally done. Teams wanting to make fights don't refuse to meet or send the contract when one is requested. No you don't know that. You have no idea how it's normally done. You are a fan. Stop pretending you have any idea how things operate behind the scenes. Duco wanted to make the fight with Hearn, yet Duco repeatedly refused to meet until there was a mutual understanding about the money.

Malignaggi also said Hearn is right to want to see proof of funds. Interesting how all the pros agree with Hearns stance.

Figuring out? If they're offering $50 mil they should have what they require all figured out. :rofl: All Hearn is asking for is to meet and go through what they figured our before agreeing. Wilders team don't want to meet or send a contract. The offer is BS. Robbie, is it possible that since you have no experience negotiating multi million dollar deals, you wouldn't actually know what the normal process is for negotiating deals of this nature? Is that possible? The biggest sticking point in almost any negotiation is the money. You agree on the money in principle and you move on to smaller details. The deal may very well fall apart over the smaller details, but you try to get the biggest detail out of the way first and then see if you can get a deal done or not. Duco wouldn't meet with Hearn either until they agreed in principle on a split. This happens all the time. If Hearn really wants the fight, all he has to say is: "If the other details are satisfactory, we would accept $50 million." Then you meet to see if you can agree on the other details or not. But if Hearn isn't willing to accept $50 million no matter what, why would they sit down with him?

Hearn has stated that Joshua has network agreements and obligations. I know that Joshua and Wilder both have an agreement with Showtime, so that shouldn't be a problem. Can someone elaborate on this Showtime agreement. I live in the States and watched the Joshua/Parker fight on Showtime. Does the UK have Showtime? From what I have heard, and correct me if I'm wrong, Joshua's fights have been broadcast in the UK through Sky Sports PPV. If Joshua accepted the 50 million offer, and Haymon/Finkle promoted the fight, then I would assume that all profit generated from the fight would first go to Haymon/Finkel, then guaranteed purses would be paid, and anything over would be split up 50/50. What are your thoughts on this? For Hearn to be able to accept the offer, he would have to make sure Haymon was going to put the fight on Sky in the UK. Which I'm sure Haymon would have no problem with as Sky PPV is the biggest platform in that market anyway. But none of these smaller details are worth negotiating if Hearn isn't willing to accept the $50 million offer. Why bother figuring out television agreements, etc if Hearn won't take 50 million and wants 60 million?
