For months ya'll have tried to clown Wilder by saying that was his next fight....Man ya'll get to damn excited and end up looking stupid over and over again.
Parker demanded 50% knowing hes not going to get that...Parkers also a PPV commodity in NZ so theres that right?
Wilder & Parker both demanded 50% knowing they weren't going to get it. Just as Hearn knew he wasn't going to get them for 20%. It's part of negotiating.
Parker as a PPV commodity in NZ is meaningless because a NZ PPV generates less than what Showtime pays for a fight, let alone what a Showtime PPV would generate.
The NZ PPV record is 80,000 buys. A NZ PPV cost the equivalent of $33 US. That's 2.64 million for the biggest PPV in NZ history.
Showtime expected Joshua vs Wilder to generate 800,000 buys at approximately $80, which is $64 million in US PPV vs. 2.64 million in NZ PPV.
You said it was an excuse not to make Joshua/Wilder when it was no such thing.
That's exactly what it was. A way to trick fans into believing Wilder was at fault when the fight didn't get made. If Wilder ends up fighting Breazeale next, Hearn will rant and rave that the fight was signed all along and that Wilder never intended to fight AJ. If Wilder doesn't fight Breazeale next, Hearn will just pretend he never said anything.
Many things that are no big deal add up to show a pattern of constant lying. Which every promoter and politician does. I dont fault him for it. The problem is you believe him.
You trying to make this out as some big lie is hilarious. You'd do anything to smear Hearns name wouldn't you? But I suppose that's what you're paid to do.
if wilder ended up fighting breazeale next, hearn would have said that was wilder's plan all along and he never intended to fight AJ.
if wilder didnt end up fighting breazeale next, hearn would just pretend he never said it. if you go back through hearn IFL videos months later, it's easy to spot lies left and right.
You said it was an excuse not to make Joshua/Wilder when it was no such thing. You trying to cover yourself from talking crap just makes you look even worse than you did before. Give it up man, you're making a fool out of yourself.
Who cares what Hearn calls it? It's no big deal.

But if Brezeale never once got in the way of the negotiations for Joshua/Wilder, then he couldn't have used it as an excuse could he?

Lies. How many fights exactly does one need to get rid of ring rust?
Lies? Abusing your body for 2 and a half years, not being in the gym throughout that time, and getting seriously obese. That will have serious effects on how you perform. Fury needs a year fighting scrubs just to get the weight right and shed the ring rust, then go for the tougher fights. Fighting Fury now is nothing short of a disgrace. But this is Wilder's style so it doesn't surprise me one bit.
Hearn telling multiple lies doesn't mean the lies cancel each other out. They're all still lies.
Hearn never intended to make the Wilder fight next, so he was constantly lying and coming up with excuses for why it wouldn't be next. Wilder kept calling his bluff. Over and over and over until Hearn was out of excuses and just ran and signed the Povetkin fight anyway.
But if Brezeale never once got in the way of the negotiations for Joshua/Wilder, then he couldn't have used it as an excuse could he?
You're getting crazier as the days go by. It's disturbing. Making something out of nothing. No matter what nonsense you come out with, it isn't going to make Hearn change what he's doing. So it's all a waste of time for you really. But I get it, you're paid by Haymon to try and sway opinion. Sad. It won't sway anyone.
That wouldn't be insider knowledge then, so Hearn would then be lying about having insider knowledge. No matter how you slice it, Hearn was lying.
Who cares what Hearn calls it? It's no big deal. But you've been set out to smear rivals of PBC fighters, so it's not a surprise you're making a big deal over nothing.
Hearn reached out to Wilder before the Parker fight but Wilder demanded 50 %
Parker also demanded 50% at first. It's called negotiating. Hearn low balls with a 20% offer, the other side demands 50%, and if both sides really want the fight, they meet somewhere in the middle. Hearn never really wanted the Wilder fight next, so he never negotiated in good faith. Wilder was willing to go to England for 40%, a reasonable sum considering Parker was given 33%.
Hearn claimed his offer to Wilder represented 37.5%, but refused to actually offer the percentage. Instead insisting on a flat fee in the hopes that Wilder would reject it. When Wilder called his bluff, Hearn still refused to do the fight next. He never ever wanted the fight next. He always wanted it next year.
Hard to tell with a baggy t-shirt on. Who do you think wins if he fights Wilder?
I'll reserve judgement until his next fight. He looked absolutely awful in June. He'd get smoked early if he shows up looking like that.
If he gets back to any kind of decent form, I'd pick Fury by decision.
I haven't claimed he wouldn't be rusty. You claimed he would be. We don't know. That's the point.
He looks in as good a shape as I've ever seen him in that video. Certainly not fat.

Because he was on a layoff of over 2 years, had a mental breakdown and since then has fought 1 opponent who was ranked what exactly?
Is he in fighting shape?
Here is a recent training video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unSJ9CtP7Gc

Look for more recent pictures before deciding he's still fat.
By your own admission, you don't know how many fights he'd need, so how can you say he'll be rusty?
Him being in fighting shape automatically makes him top 10. It's a wasteland out there.

Obvious parallels would be Ali and Tyson who both had 3 years off for suspension and jailtime respectively. Both had two tuneups before challenging for the title again.
Lies? Did you not watch his last fight?
I dont know how many fights he would need as I have never seen a fighter with over a 2 year layoff and a mental breakdown coming back.
Let me ask you a question, where do you currently rank Fury among the current crop of heavyweights?
