Comments Thread For: Wilder: My Goal is To Unify - I'm The Baddest Man on The Planet

Not Hearn.

And what Hearn wants trumps all. He has the A-side.

Of course Hearn wants it. He always gives the fights the public want. But he's not going to waste his time on an idiot who thinks he's worth half the money when he's not even close to being worth that.

The fight gets made as soon as Wilder starts to make sense. And I have no confidence in that because Wilder is the most deluded moron in boxing.

No. He doesn't. He might want it later, depending on what HBO's offer is to block the fight, but Hearn didn't want the fight now and he made that clear. I'm not faulting Hearn for that btw. It would have made him an incompetent business man if he had agreed to do the fight in March.

That's you getting fooled by Eddie's propaganda. Wilder's team know they're the B-side, they've acknowledged they won't be getting half. You're allowing Eddie to trick you. Business is done a certain way. A way fans rarely will understand. Eddie is giving plausible deniability to the AJ diehards who want to believe Wilder is the reason the fight didn't happen next. It's bull****. Hearn is the reason. Because Hearn knows what he's doing and Hearn knows it would be idiotic to do the most dangerous fight before Parker instead of after.

The fight gets made as soon as Wilder starts to make sense.

That's simply not true. The fight gets made as soon as Hearn wants to make it. Period. Wilder's public comments have nothing to do with it. Parker being an easier fight has everything to do with it. Seeing if HBO can be convinced to cough up a ton of dates to other Matchroom fighters if Eddie agrees to bring AJ over has everything to do with it. Eddie is a brilliant business man. He's going to test the market and see what can be extracted out of HBO if he's willing to never do the fight. He can't make an informed decision without seeing what HBO would give to bring all his guys over.
