Comments Thread For: Wilder Blasts Hearn: 'You Wanted To Make A Fight Because You Don't Have Confidence In Your Own Fighter'

[TheOneAboveAll]

Wilder quit against Fury in the rematch and in the rubber match. He gassed out after the first round in the rematch, and gassed out after the 4th round in the rubber match.

Embarrassing effort from a world champion boxer.

Watch those fights back. Gassing out and getting stopped is anything but quitting. The man took a hellacious beating in that 3rd fight and was literally pounded to the canvas. This is not your sport. You don't know what you're seeing.

In piling on Wilder, you guys are missing the point here:

Wilder is saying Hearn attempted to lock in a deal on the most favorable financial terms before the rematch because he knew Joshua was going to lose. So he tried to set Joshua up to fight for a payday and Wilder's #1 position. Why would he try and make that deal when, if they won, they'd have the biggest fight in history waiting for them?

Because Hearn didn't believe Joshua was going to win.

Wow. If this turns out to be true, then WOW. Then again wilder does throw some crazy conspiracy’s into the universe.

It's true but not entirely. It was with the Radio Raheem interview which I may have posted. Raheem kept pressing if Joshua lost which Eddie didn't want to even talk about but eventually caved in so it's not like Eddie was chirping about this willingly and openly, it was under duress.

All of that seems to true, but why would Wilder care about it? Hearn offered him the biggest fight he could get at this point in his career, so why deflect and cast aspersions about Hearn and his motives, unless you don't want the fight? I was Team Wilder during the first AJ-Wilder negotiation debacle, but he's making himself look suspect here.

Young Edward had a very strange and feminine way of apparently trying to make fights. I don’t know if I should even say trying to make fights because they never get made that way. This act of running to the media and getting on camera and telling them he’s making offers to people to fight on his app when they are with other outfits or with fights scheduled is just weird. Seems to be if he was serious he would keep negotiations hush until progress shows a certainty at least or better yet when terms are met. I think his tactic is merely to try to reduce the status of other fighters through this media game and energise his matchroom fanatical base into social media action. It doesn’t get fights made and it makes fighters, managers, promoters, and networks not want to work with him. Surely there has to be someone on that side who like Army NCOs do, grab this young man by the back of his collar and tell him “get your arse back here.”

It takes two to tango.... obviously Wilder doesn't want the smoke.

Oh yeah, I'm a fan of Wilder and also thought he was insane to not move over to DAZN when Lou tried to broker a deal. Terrible choice.

But the reality is Wilder is going to stay fighting for Haymon/PBC until he retires, and PBC isn't doing any business with DAZN. Period. No one knows this better than Hearn.

So thems the breaks.

he is not WRONG

just a week ago people took a clip and thought he was talking about Haymon and his own situation, NO he was talking about Edward, also mentioned Promoters with Silver Spoons who never had to work for anything telling fighters what to do

that being said, still want Wilder vs AJ regardless

[DaNeutral.]

So Wilder says Hearn wanted to make a fight between Joshua and Wilder? And Team Wilder have no interest and are somehow blaming Hearn and Joshua for something?

Not again. When are we all going to come with terms with the fact Team Wilder just don't want that fight.

You're clearly NOT a fan of Wilder.

Even Dazn came out and said they weren't properly prepared when he met with them, but you're saying he should've signed anyway?

[Boxviewer]

Wilder is still bitter and he doesn't trust them man after that fiasco during their original negotiations with Eddie Hearn. Wilder just want to fight. He has gotten sick and tired of all the bait and switch bullshit by Team Joshua! "Fool me once shame on you. "Fool me twice shame on me!"

What are you talking about? First Wilder was screaming he would offer AJ 50m dollars to fight him and when team AJ went to USA the open the negotiation Wilder was nowhere to be found and he didn't even allow his representatives to talk to them. Which means he wasn't serious at all about fighting AJ, it was pure clout chasing.

And again he was offered 120m dollars to fight AJ, he confirmed this on footage last year, and again he declined and instead he voluntavoluntarily offered an out-of-shape Fury a shot at his wbc belt. So we can simply conclude that Wilder is not confident that he can beat AJ. He's talking about boxing being a business but businessmen never let a huge amount money in the tune of 100+ million dollars pass them. Wilder’s all about his ego and he knows that if AJ beats his ego will suffer immensely. That's what he's afraid of.
