Comments Thread For: Hearn Shakes Head at Joshua Guarantee For Wilder Facing Whyte

[koolkc107]

Either that or get some home cooking going. Clearly somebody told the ref last night to go ahead and stop the fight early. That was a terrible stoppage. I don't want to see Wilder take that kind of risk for a bad decision or a whack referee. It sucks boxing fans have to think that way

Exactly.

If you are Wilder watching last night it's a mixed bag.

You are definitely stoked by AJ's performance and seeming vulnerability.

But, that bad stoppage makes you think about what would happen if you did go fight Whyte.

It amazes me as well, this is glaringly obvious. Being from the UK, I am ashsamed of some of these Hearn/Matchroom fanboys. I almost feel sorry for them, they are so brainwashed and deluded by this Sky/Hearn/Matchroom propaganda. I actually quite like AJ and I believe he genuinely wants the Wilder fight, Wilder equally wants the fight also. Unfortunately Eddie Hearn's greed and ego is standing in the way of this fight

I am on record as believing AJ will be the best fighter of this generation.

But ALL the great heavies lost at some point.

I think he loses to Wilder if they fight next year, but I also think AJ might benefit skillwise from learning how to deal with a guy like Wilder.

This is freaking sad he said that if Wilder fought Whyte that would lead to a fight with AJ. Don't worry about it Wilder you called them out on their bluff. So just keep winning Champ! As for AJ he must feel very comfortable NOT fighting Wilder. AJ is a big enough star and talent to force his promoter to make this fight! AJ and Wilder are the two best in the division. But anyway this fight isn't happening. Hearn is clearly protecting his investment!

This sums it up! I like AJ too but it became obvious that Hearn's agenda is to suck out all the money he can from AJ before the situation is forced to avoid more prolonged embarrassment for Hearn and Joshua.

This is why I'm glad boxing has multiple belts because promoters and boxers would sit on those titles for life if they could and only fight bums!

Turning down 4 mil to make 1 looks like you seriously don't want to fight to me. Quack quack Wilder.

But its Whyte not some legit guy is the problem with the quack quack part. Like I said give me Big Baby or Parker (both who I think would beat Whyte) or Breazeale vs Wilder next. Those are more meaningful fights that move the Wilder narrative ahead more than Whyte.

The career high payday is cool, but Wilder's only angle is the belt so if there is some questionable UK ref (which granted bad stoppages happen everywhere, but while I don't agree UK decisions are any more worse than anywhere else like a lot of fans like to claim, UK stoppages are definitely more questionable than anyone where else) then I want some guarantees myself for that extra risk if I'm Wilder & the shot at Joshua if he wins seems like a fair one.

And there is often back n forth bs with fights that are talked about this much in the media so its par for the course to not be as simple in particular when a guy still has a fight scheduled already.

But if the UK public doesn't know who the f#ck Wilder is after he KO's Whyte's overconsidered ass than idk what will. Whyte is like a young Mike Tyson to some fans it seems like lmfao.

Wiler is not ducking Whyte - READ THE ARTICLE!!!!! He wants BOTH Whyte and Joshua and wants it in WRITING!! Damn you didnt even read the article!!!!!

He's asking for a clause in the Whyte contract. A roadblock because he doesn't want the fight.

Joshua doesn’t want it yet watch him pull a Canelo 🙄

How can Hearn guarantee that Wilder will fight Joshua next?

There are two fights - Wilder vs Whyte and Joshua vs X (most likely Parker) and the plan is the winners of those fights to face each other in the summer for title unification. There is no guarantee that both Wilder and Joshua will win. What if Whyte wins? Or what happens if Wilder wins and Joshua loses? Then we have a fight between Wilder and X/Parker that does not include Hearn at all.

And then there is the issue with purse and venue negotiations for 4 possible fights. Nobody can guarantee anything.

LOL. This f#cking guy is so clueless he probably doesn't know how clueless he is. Respect doe new guy, but sometimes you should just stfu bro if you don't know how sh^t works or just ask & don't sound so confident in your ******ty...no offense, but for real.

[Robbie Barrett]

Casuals don’t care they will see record and ko’s he have and be interested period stop with the ducking excuses like Whyte some big draw in uk lol

Boxing is prizefighting, when a fighter turns down 4 mil to make 1, he's ducking. You know it.
