Comments Thread For: Hearn admits to overpaying Martin to secure IBF title for Joshua

[Robbie Barrett]

You do know wilder made 4+ million for the Povetkin which was a purse bid... so the guy you’re arguing with is right.. his point is wilder makes more from purse bid in Whyte fight, that’s it and when you look at the Povetkin situation again, the guys you’re arguing with are right.. jus sayin

How are they right. You know Povetkin promoter throws money away because he's a billionaire right? You know he overpaid for the fight right? You know Povetkin was the A-side in that situation right? You know the fight didn't even happen right?

Parker is going to make 12 mil against Joshua does that mean he would make 12 mil against anyone else?

You know you're thick right?

Ortiz already granted AJ a step-aside to fight Klitshco, he was supposed to be next! AJ chose Pulev over Ortiz = FACTS! That some BS! You're reaching hard now!

Ortiz WAS next after Pulev . Ortiz even tried empty legal threats which was nonsense and had a choice to wait until that fight and be quiet but like a dope he decided to sign a Wilder fight where he couldn't fill out simple paper work anyway so he most likely wouldn't have been fighting anyone regardless .

Ortiz is another dummy and his career path and choices prove that . Ortiz granting Joshua step aside fight has nothing to do with anything bc it was in his contract and Hearn got the O.K from IBF ,it hd nothing to do with Ortiz but Pulev .

The IBF is more strict and willing to strip fighters. Both the WBA and IBF ordered fights. Joshua contacted both and worked it out. IBF first and then WBA. Ortiz walked away from a guaranteed fight. FACT

How ****ing long was he gonna have to wait? The man was already like 37! He even signed with Hearn for the fight! He agreed to the step-aside! What would he have to do next? Blow him? AJ didn't want that work, plain and simple! No worries, King Kong is finally getting his shot!

I agree with the IBF claim but bruh like Bronx said stop reaching Ortiz walked away because he got the short end of the stick, after stepping aside for the AJ-Klitschko fight,period. Also would you wait around & become even more inactive, just so you could fight AJ, or do you move on to the next best situation...

If the Klitschko fight would have happened he would have waited just as long. He was prepared to wait until 2018 if Joshua fought Klitschko so why not Pulev. The situation was the same just a different name for Joshua.

Look AJs #1 fan we only believe in facts over here so here is some for that ass:

Ryabinsky, Povetkin's promoter, bid $7.15 million while attorney Alex Dombroff, representing promoter Lou DiBella, who works with Wilder, offered $5,101,000.42.

Looks like wilders ppl were throwing around money too.. but let me guess you’re going to say 5.1 mil ain’t shot lmfao.

Can you give me the quote where Eddie Hearn demanded he fight Whyte ? No .. because like every other lying Wilder fan you made it up. You think just because Wilder said it its true .. come on Wilder produce that contract easy to prove with the paperwork.

Hearn suggested he fight Whyte first for a bigger payday and a bigger pot in the AJ fight which makes business sense. Wilder lied and changed this into a demand.

Wilder lied again and said he didn't want the money just the fight but now he can get the fight its all about how much money he can get. When Hearn did finally come up with a way to link AJ and Whyte (they hate each other hence the issue) he ducked still.

Wilder is just looking for a cash out fight. For the record Hearns last statement on the matter was he came up with a way of attaching Joshua as the next fight and Wilder still ducked.

Whyte and Joshua hate each other and Joshua owns his fights so any deal has to get past AJ hence the difficulties.

I gave up on Wilder when he picked Andrzej Wawrzyk (??) to fight next at (38 fights ?) seriously that was unforgivable.

AJ fought Klitshko at 18 fights, Fury Klitschko at 25 fights, Parker Ruiz Jr at 22

And Eddie Hearn demanding a fellow champion fight Dillan Whyte in order to maybe get a shot at Anthony Joshua isn't a way of negotiating his guy out? I don't see Joseph Parker being made to jump through hoops to build his profile in England before fighting Anthony Joshua.

Why do you believe Wilder is afraid of Whyte?

October 26, 2017:

"If they want to see that fight, I have no problems fighting that fight, as long as that contract says I have Anthony Joshua next. I will go anywhere in the world to show Dillian Whyte who is the best in the world. Put Anthony Joshua on that contract and I will come to England. Dillian Whyte is an easy fight, I can fight that fight in my sleep, one hand behind my back."

October 27, 2017:

Eddie Hearn has insisted he will refuse to promise Deontay Wilder a shot at Anthony Joshua should he fight Dillian Whyte. Wilder said earlier in the week that he would be happy to fight Whyte, should a clause be included in the contract that guaranteed. Hearn believes fighting Whyte would give Wilder the chance to raise his profile in the UK, which would in turn create more interest in a potential bout with Joshua.

But, speaking after Joshua stopped Carlos Takam in Cardiff, Hearn dismissed the idea a fight contract with Whyte would include a Joshua clause. ‘No, it doesn’t work that way,’ said Hearn when asked if Wilder would get a guarantee to fight Joshua.

Q:Why do I believe Wilder doesn't want Whyte?

A: Because he won;t fight him for $3M

A: Because he can't make ******, unrelated demands like AJ next

Ortiz is a dummy for letting AJ fight Klitscko! He got played! AJ had no intention of fighting him next! WBA is wack for that too:

April 27, 2017:

Earlier today an article by Elliot Foster ran on BoxingScene.com which stated that WBA President Gilberto J Mendoza may give the Anthony Joshua-Wladimir Klitschko winner a "special permit" to make a voluntary defense before facing mandatory challenger Luis Ortiz (27-0 23 KOs)...

"If he wins he has to face his biggest fear. What's his fear you ask? It is a big, Cuban, power punching southpaw that's hungry and will stop at nothing to rip his head off. Look, it's plain and simple, this will say a lot to his fans about him. He's fighting to be rich like he keeps saying but buddy this is boxing so man up because I'm fighting for my pride and I will not accept a step aside fee from you. Your money's no good here. Step up or give it up. Anyway, we will continue this conversation another day. Good luck to both of you on Saturday. I'll be seeing one of you two soon."

No problems, though! Wilder did MAN UP! Wilder vs. Ortiz in 2018! Happy New Year!

Ahhh yes, AJ makes more money because Finkel is a terrible manager. AJ doesn't make more money because he was a gold medalist. AJ doesn't make more money because boxing is so much more popular in his home country. He makes more money because Shelly Finkel is incompetent.

Got any other gems for us?

AJ makes more money because Eddie Hearn is a better advisor/promoter in his sleep than Finkel and Haymon put together!

UK boxing was in the same crappy state as US boxing till Hearn arrived on the scene. Now it's bigger over here than it has ever been.

Why couldn't Haymon, Finkel, et al, do the same thing in the US as Hearn did in the UK with all that Waddell & Reed money they had at their disposal, instead of squandering it on atrocious miss-matches and a TV channel that makes world class boxing seem about as exciting as dominos evening in an old folks rest home?
