Doesn’t really work like that
Negotiations go through lawyers, managers, advisors etc..It’s not just Eddie Hearn sat in a room with Arum thrashing out contracts. They’re just the face of the event.
It’s a long process that goes through many people.
I do wonder how many people on here know about the realities of business.
Oh really? I thought it was signed sealed and fought in a matter of hours.
Phony cheap ass liar Oscar would absolutely hate that. He does not want his fake pretend offers for view on line. Anyway it is hard to film something that never happened. I would love the negotiations to be where we could all see the truth because some promoters lie their ass off about what was offered to fighters. In Oscar's case he claims to have made amazing offers when he never offered the champion boxer a damn dime.
It would be boring as phck. These things take weeks.
I would like to be able to follow the contract negotiations so far as the actual contract proposed, counter offers and the language finally accepted.
Sounds fun on the surface, but it would likely be boring as f**k, like a live trial.
I think a good happy medium would be the fighters and promoters gathered around in a "face-off" type of format to answer questions about why a fight has or hasn't been negotiated. For example, I would love to hear Wilder explain in front of Anthony Joshua why he turned down an offer from DAZN while Joshua explains why he turned down 50 million dollars (if it was actually offered).
Eddie hearn and team wilder at a round table. I'd buy a ticket for that. No more lying and we get to see who's really ducking who.
Anthony Joshua was the big cash cow of the division.
Deontay Wilder was the most feared puncher in the division.
Joshua could have made double his normal purse to fight Wilder.
Wilder could have made triple or quadruple his normal purse to fight Joshua.
Use some common sense. Which side had more of an incentive to rush into that fight and which side had more of an incentive to delay that fight?
