Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn Smiles: I Think We've Got Deontay Wilder Cornered!

[sportbuddha]

Hahaha this implies they have been chasing Wilder and he's the one ducking both AJ and Whyte, very interesting and given his bum list, oh sorry I mean, esteemed list of previous quality opponents, this adds up. In the end if he refuses a fair deal to fight AJ, he'll have to accept much less to fight Whyte anyway...nice work Eddie you run your game over the poorly managed sucker.

Ortiz is a much worthy opp than Parker that’s why aj ducked him when Hearn had him.

I think Hearn dropped him cos of the PED nonsense, he didn't want any part in Ortiz after that not even as opposition, too much drama.

Haymon screwing Wilder. "Turn down that 4+ mil and accept my 1 mil instead."

Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense....

I don't want to hear any of your nonsense kid. You've been exposed as a fraud.

That's no way to live life man. Stop devoting yourself blindly to the promoter of your favorite fighter and try to have a reasonable adult conversation.

No, it's not nonsense that the mandatory rules are different at heavyweight. Go check the rule book. It's been like that for decades that non-heavyweight champions have quicker mandatories than heavyweights. Heavyweight is 12 months, the other are 9.

This is a Bob Arum type move. Fight whyte for nothing or fight Joshua for a bit more than nothing. I'm not saying Wilder deserves 50% like he's asking, but Hearn seems to have learnt a few tricks from Don King.

We Be Crooks will happily accomodate whatever suits them and their bank account.

How is $4m offered nothing? That's probably 4 times what he's earned before. Then I'm not going to pretend to know what the Joshua fight is going to bring in but it sure as hell is going to be in the 10s of millions of dollars even for Wilder. I'm not sure what you define as nothing?


I just want the fight to happen, so couldn't care less how much each one earns as I'm not getting a cut. I enjoy boxing and want to see the best vs the best in every division. It's kinda mad how fanboys from either side are really closing their eyes to the basic truths out there for all to see.

Joshua and Hearn are giving a low offer and Wilder is out pricing himself. Both seem to be playing the dodging game and I wouldn't be surprised that it's orchestrated to raise the profile of both in their opponent's countries before eventually signing a fight at around 60-40 in favour of Joshua as he will hold the majority of belts IF he gets through Parker.

Or they both realise that they need to keep making money and preserve their 0 for as long as possible before eventually fighting close to the end of their careers in the same way as Mayweather vs Pacquiao.

Yep, bum fighting days are almost over. So next couple of fights wilder will lose. Maybe in his upcoming fight with Ortiz

[thack]

What we want to see Eddie is Wilder in the other corner , opposite A.J. !

Wilder gets beat by Whyte and AJ but also he might well lose to Ortiz.

I'm really hoping he can get through Ortiz, I just never really seen much in him in any of his fights. Wilder vs Joshua is a bigger spectacle soit's be a shame if Wilder lost.

To be honest I can't see Ortiz winning considering how slow he is. Wilder or Joshua could just rush him with some flurries and probably get the knockdown. Granted Ortiz has the power to put either down too, but his pace is too slow in my opinion to make it genuinely competitive with either.
