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

[brettWall]

Hearn admits Dylan Whyte is less risk, but more money.

So why did Wilder turn down the offer?

I don't like Eddie Hearn, but you gotta respect that man's hustle... And he only talks sense when it comes to Wilder vs Joshua... Pure ego stopped Wilder and his team from accepting Hearn's £4m offer to fight Whyte, it made sense on every level. I think Ortiz exposes Wilder's flaws this weekend, before age and Wilder's power catches up with him - if he turns back the clock tho, it's anyone's guess, cause your boy Wilder really can't box.

I think it was hearns to wanting options that prevented the fight happening.

Wilder has been calling out Parker, W. Klitschko, Joshua, Ortiz and Povetkin for years and guess what happened? They either turned him down or got popped for juicing

Nonsense, absolute horseSheet. Calling out someone on social media is pure idiocy without sending over contracts.

If he truly wanted those works he would put Haymon on an airplane to go and negotiate for himself some good match ups! Hell, he is the WBC champ and not some green young boxer looking for any shot at fighting.

Another American boxer from the past 'Tommy Morrison' made a mistake similar to what Hearn's is referring to when he lost a warm up fight to a relatively unknown. To cut a long story short the loss cost him a fight with Lennox Lewis and the biggest pay day of his career.

King kong hes a 50 year old

So he went pro at 43?

The amateur tournaments that clearly show him as a young man in his 20s, he was actually 40?

Amazing.

Do you know how math works?

Wilder is a fraud. I just hope he doesn’t loss to Ortiz

[BoxingTech718]

Ortiz is better than Whyte so I’m glad Wilder is fighting King Kong

If I was Joshua(and really wanted to be best)Id tell Hearn to shut the *** up.He comes right out and says we got Wilder surrounded.Clearly saying he DONT WANT Wilder next he wants Whyte to fight him and hope he gets lucky.And then at end he kinda catches himself and says "oh but we want Wilder too"Bu ll sh ite.This is what REAL champs do they fight the tough fights and the money will come.***in Hearn just doing ANYTHING to protect that gravy train.Cmon Joshua be your OWN man and step up and fight winner of this weeks fight and quit letting Hearn make you look like a punk.And I don't wannsa hear from the fanboys and mini promoters this man makes 20 mil per fight he is ALREADY set for life.No EXCUSE

I agree totally. Hearn is trying to pull a Bob Arum move and keep mentioning he wants the Wilder fight while fighting cherry pickers. The people will have to pressure Joshua. When it happens Joshua will get knocked out by 7. He's way too big and he gets tired. Hearn knows what time it is...that's why he is trying to milk the cow until he is forced to make the fight.

I am not a Wilder fan.

That said, why in the **** would anybody expect Deontay to go to England for anybody other than Joshua?

For a decent payday? Lmao this is professional boxing, they do it for money.
