Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder Taking Big Risk for 'Very Small Amount of Money'

[Gillie]

Wow so many Wilder fluffers here. lol.

Hearn makes a great point...

he was offered $4 million for an easy fight... YET he is getting far less money for a high risk fight which if he loses... his career is DONE!

Beyond that... what Wilder and Wilder fan boys don't understand, Joshua DOES NOT NEED Wilder.

Wilder is a belt... but AJ can easily make more than $10 million a fight fighting anyone.

He would not make much more fighting Wilder versus anyone else. In any case, there is more money in a Povetkin fight than Wilder.

Wilder is a nobody in the United States... he brings nothing to the table beyond his big mouth and pothead thinking and his belt. That is it.

to Wilder however, AJ is the necessary cash out....

Instead of demanding 50/50 or no fight, Wilder needs to get on his knees and beg AJ for a fight in the UK and get his payday and retire.

After his "50-50 or no fight" demand, he said that he would take short money as long as AJ took the same deal in the rematch if he loses. What's the problem with that?

You have to hate boxing to mock on Wilder for choosing the bigger threath instead of the money fight. He is doing what all champions should do

He didn't choose ****, Haymon made him.

He didn't say that. He said Joshua take the same in the rematch. Wilder is so ******ed he probably wants the rematch clause even if Wilder loses.

Deontay Wilder is the only MAN who brings a POTENTIAL US PPV which if promoted and managed successfuly can dwarf UK PPV Money.That is what you are not understanding.Canelo/Chavez made more money than Joshua-Klitschko,Why,because US PPV and Gates deliver the big numbers.Why do you think Hearn wants to take Joshua to New York,why do you think Hearn has started Matchroom Boxing USA ? Because USA is where the big boys and real big money can be made......You will never become a Worldwide Star in any Sport unless you have American Backing or Exposure.

Tell that to the soccer players playing in Europe... You fool! 😄😆

Well I tip my hat to Deontay Wilder because he is at least giving the boxing fans the fights they want to see. Fans want to see him tested and now they can this coming Saturday.

props to Wilder it's obvious that he's trying to be the best heavyweight by not taking the money for an easier Dylan whyte who's irrelevant

I like that Wilder's taking this fight, he's behaving like a True Champion. Win or Lose the champ can't be claiming he's not ready and selecting opponents carefully. He has been definitive about any person in the HW division but I believe these are the two best. At least top 4

Stop with the alcohol man this is Beyonces first stepup fight end of. The guy is a fraud racking up 40 fights before stepping up. Noone in boxing has done that.

AJ doesn’t call ****. Geez another ****en alt. And do you even understand my point? No. You don’t know where the fight will be. Yeah Joshua makes money over there but his gates are trash for a 78,000 to 90,000 arena. In the states we can pack 12,000 and makes the same if not more. Ask Hearn. He did the math.

Reading posts like this you would think Wilder was getting $20/$30million gates at his fights!

No. Reading this should give you a hint of the writing on the wall.
