Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn: Joshua vs. Wilder Showdown Belongs at Wembley

[Reverb]

This fight has to be the summer no way is Fluff Furry ready by then, the WBA mandatory is in no way bigger than this fight and needs to be put off until the winter with the Parker fight taking place in the early spring.

Hard to take the Joshua Fluff fight serious when that slob is weighing in excess of 350+, if Hearn thinks by waving Fury in front of Wilder believing he can lowball him into bluffing he has another option instead of Wilder then he's mugging himself off, nobody in their right mind believes that guy will be ready by July/August if he'll ever be ready at all, I'd expect Fury to show up in the ring overweight anyway I can't see him losing all that weight regardless, he ain't ever getting back into the shape he was for Klitschko which it looks like he was using nandrolone anyway, the testing sure as shyt won't be held by UKAD that's for sure unless Joshua is an absolute mug.

Wether it's this year or not, Hearn is letting Wilder know that he and perhaps Joshua is taking heavyweight purses with or without Wilder. It's up to Wilder to show more money or sign up to Hearn's demands.
When did we hear Wilder's side throwing out numbers and offers? As yet I've seen nothing of the sort from Wilder beyond empty demands.
It's a money game and Wilder isn't producing much...so far, who knows what his side will bring to the table.

But what guarantee does Wilder have that AJ will fight him next if goes over and beats Whyte? Seems like its more of Hearn wanting to cash in on Wilder fighting Whyte. Wilder beats Whyte and Hearn would more than likely bring up mandatory fights that AJ has to take. What's the problem with Hearn adding a guarantee of a AJ fight if Wilder wins?

It'll be in the contract if Wilder can negotiate that. Hearn is showing that he can afford to take a piece of Wilder. Wilder needs to match that or continue taking smaller checks than Joshua already cashes.

Wilder is in a very comfortable position from my perspective, nobody in that WBC top 15 beats him and the UK fans want the Wilder fight next, they're heard calling for the fight around the stadium after AJ's last fight.

Wilder can continue padding his record and bank account and at some point he'll get the AJ fight, he's going to have to accept Hearn holds the cards in regards to money though and I expect he'll crumble when the backlash turns on him if he's turning down offers waiting for bigger numbers haveing turned down the Whyte fight to help turn this fight into a super fight. Honestly whoever is advising Wilder against avoiding Whyte is a buffoon, quite why Hearn won't guarantee AJ after Whyte for Wilder is a mystery too, money obviously is the main obstacle here but I don't get why their isnt a guarantee, Whyte is perfect foil to build up Wilder the guy is absolutely awful and went life and death with Chisora ffs.

Whyte vs Wilder wouod surely be a ppv in the UK, you have those guys fight a summer showdown back at Wembley with Wilder AJ would be colossal as Klitschko AJ was, Froch would be getting all upset again.

[The Conundrum]

Wilder is not ******, he is putting on a good act but soon he will follow the money and book his flight to the UK.
Soon he realizes he is the B-side & AJ brings all the tickets, all the money & revenue & that AJ is the unified champion with 3 belts & #1 in the division, and he is just a titleholder, then it will be made. He knows where his nearest airport is and he knows where his passport is. Easy fight to make.
This fight will be at Wembley Stadium, for sure.

If Wilder fights Whyte, Hearn gets options on Wilder. If Wilder wants to up his paydays on account of other peoples input, he won't get it for nothing.
All the talk is just hype, they'll negotiate and the biggest payer will win. At the end of the day, we'll find out who the financial a-side is.

Hearn would be killed if he ever ask for options on Wilder for a Whyte fight. I doubt he would, I have no doubt if someone said he ask for options for a Joshua fight but for a Whyte fight? Nah

That's why he's throwing out the big numbers for Whyte, it isn't Whyte he's aiming to invest in...
Get options on the Whyte deal, make a killing on the AJ/Wilder fight, make money from whoever wins that.

Hearn already said no to that when Wilder said he'll go fight Whyte if Hearn puts a guarantee fight with AJ in the contract.

[Madison Boxing]

nah, its got to be in front of 9000 in alabama like the wilder fans say, or fights not happening.

[DanHouser]

Of course, this is a giving, the fight goes where the fighter who can sell the most tickets resides.

Wilder should get over his HUGE inferiority complex.
