[TheIronMike]

**** this munch. Him and Deontay are forever on my shltlist because of the cowardly display and disregard to boxing that occurred in the 2018 negotiations.

Does anyone believe a word the entitled to Kanye say's any more? I've personally had enough of Eddie's & the 2 time's! R@c15t5 smoke & mirror's.

As for the writer, you fail to mention Aj ducking Wilder on a Sky TV interview a year before the dazn offer or that dazn even said they got the offer wrong.
Wilder would have been stuck in limbo if he did sign waiting on rematchroom & Ruiz & instead made fight 2 between the top 2 in the division as part of the biggest & best trilogy since Bowe Holyfield in the 90s.

One thing we do know because of the breakdown in Fury negotiations, oldmanrooms client will have to have commercial control & A-side status because of the sponsors or it ain't happening.

As Barry Hearn said before Joshua was dismantled by Ruiz 'If we don't fight Wilder for the next ten years ,then I'll take that' ....Enough said!

I remember Wilder saying he never received an offer from Matchroom for a deal to fight AJ, but then let slip he turned the offer down for the 2nd Fury fight. It’s a shame it didn’t when it should have. Hopefully Wilder is more willing to jump into more 50/50 fights like the times he fought Ortiz the 1st time and Fury trilogy.

He didn't receive a rematchroom offer rag, it was a dazn offer that dazn themselves said they got wrong & that came from the top.
You also fail to mention a full year before in 18 Aj ducking Wilder on a sky TV Johnny Nelson interview where he said "i won't be rushed into the Wilder fight" when asked when he said"19 20 21"Hearn then said 2020.

But you keep clutching to dazn offer straws, it's water under the bridge & rematchroom no longer have any control & just like that without them stalling the division undesputed is all but signed for the new year. Happy day's.

AJ doesn't make it past 6 rounds

Wrong. Not no offer no contract. Everyone knows dazn offered 100m, so Wilder did not let slip anything the tweet is irrelevant the only reason you and others bring it up because when he tweeted it, Hearn said oh look he admitted ducking aj. No he didn't he literally said he took the Fury fight over DAZN, which everyone knew all ready. They didn't take it as were being lowballed dazn did nit answer a lot of questions and there was no guarantee of the fights anyway AJ was a sky fighter and they were not saying how much he would actually get

I think your being generous,I say rounds 1-3,remember AJ has a glass jaw

[Ganondorf]

I don’t even GAF anymore. “Marinated” too long.

[TheOneAboveAll]

Translation: It definitely will NOT happen.

[Slip jab]

Y’all remember when AJ was trying to come off as overly-determined to become undisputed??? But as soon as That becomes an opportunity he flaked n that’s when all hearns hired alts we’re in here bashing Wilder as if he’s unworthy. How the tables have turned . However it’s still a great fight but it won’t happen especially after the benn controversy, Eddie spaghetti going to preserve his last cash cow from getting blasted out like he would’ve had taken the under fight vs wilder. They’ll chump out again. Come to think about it, it could’ve been haymon being Al haymon. I do apply hearns negotiation skills he knows the business well as does haymon. Haymon pretends to be shrouded in mystery so he doesn’t have to own up to blocking fights.
