Lets not bash Shelley Finkel for embarrassing Wilder with his silly claims. Clearly he doesn't know what day it is and is going senile which will happen to us all eventually sadly. If you can't tell the difference between a week and a month then you are truly losing it.
After reading a story on this website in which Hearn stated that he didn’t get back to Finkel following Finkel’s meeting November 29 with his father, Barry Hearn, because Wilder said he would only accept a 50-50 split to face Joshua, Finkel dismissed Hearn’s version of events as an “excuse” because Wilder didn’t say that until roughly a month after Finkel and Barry Hearn met in New York.
Deontay December 4 2017:
"It is a great fight, it is one of the biggest fights in the world and everyone wants it. It will be 50-50 or else we don't see a fight.
"If they want to use splits, not to make a fight happen, then so be it. It is not like I am asking for more, I'm saying this is a 50-50 fight and that's how it is."
