This article says Juicin J is ready to turn down $50million if the fight doesn't take place in the UK.
Eddie Hearn then says "the offer that they made, if that was open to a UK fight, we would have signed immediately."
So the Juice squad is moving the goalposts once again.
"Give me $50 million I'll sign tomorrow" he's been offered the amount for weeks and still hasn't signed anything..
Is it still a PR stunt??
The Juice brigade love to say Wilder is unknown but if that's the case why is this such a "mega fight"?
Now they're worried about the venue when money was the only issue originally.
Vegas is not Wilder's backyard. The guy is from Alabama which might as well be a seperate country entirely lol.
The Juice Man is trying to weasel out.
I think when AJ said give me 50 million he meant to fight me in the UK. The location is a huge part of making this fight. Aj is the A side and has most of the belts. Wilder should give him his way and fight him in the UK but make sure the ref is not from the UK or any country friendly to the UK like Canada or Australia.Don't worry about the judges because this fight probably won't go to the cards. If Wilder won't fight him in the UK there will be no fight. You can blame AJ all you want be that won't make the fight happen.
whoever puts up the money is the A-side
Sheiid....
Wilder is on record saying he'd take whatever lowball offer they gave him, as long as they'd take the same offer for a rematch, if he wins the first fight.
There's clearly one side holding up the fight.....
But an offer like that hasn't been made as far as I know the $12.5M offer had a rematch clause but it wasn't a 12.5 M flat for AJ
It's not a good look but the good news is Wilder is on record saying he will accept the fight in the UK at 60/40 split for AJ
Don't think Matchroom wants to open the books though

bro please stop, u guys are too much. he was willing to fight big miller in the states so you cant use the location excuse, i think its time you fans just call hearn out and stop trying to defend and flip everything around to your advantage! who n the hell expects a guy to get 50mil off top and still have total control of the venue? Hearn himself knows it makes more money in the states, he admitted it... unless a better offer comes from hearn you all should be calling your guy to take the fight so we can see it. if this was flipped id be teling wilder to take the fight turning down 50mil over location after wanting to fight miller in the us is terrible u cant defend that! these excuses are a bit too much

AJ is the A side so he gets to decide where the fight happens. Don't like it? Tough titty.
Wilder is unknown. His fights are watched by less than 1% of Americans. Crying about those facts will not change them.
Vegas is American territory, so yes, it would be a home fight if they were to have it in Vegas.
Is he? I would love Charles Barkley to interview him post game
Yeah he's sitting right next to the announcers table. One of the announcers leaned over and said he wants to see him and Wilder fight!
My guess is it will be signed soon.

Figured this would happen
Joshua managed to get Klitchsko to fight in the UK, so now he wants that massive home crowd advantage in all of his dangerous fights. But they goofed, they asked for 50 mil and Wilder's team has delivered. Joshua's gonna have to come to the US, or guarantee Wilder a whole lot of money to go over there. Excellent chess move by Wilder. Home crowd in the US would be huge for this fight.
Man up Joshua! Or punk out .... your choice. :boxing: :boxing: :beerchug:
