Comments Thread For: Wilder: I'll Fight Whyte If I'm Guaranteed Joshua Fight is Next

[OgTripleOg]

i love reading the new excuses the AJ protectors are making up as we go.

Don't know what this "backfire" thing Wilder is talking about.
It's the exact opposite.
If Whyte becomes mandatory to his title, then Hearn has no obligation to guarantee Wilder anything.
Funny part is Hearn doesn't really even have to offer Wilder anything, which includes the $3.5 mil plus US upside.
Haymon and Showtime will be main promoters in this case.
Which will guarantee Wilder his regular $1 mil paycheck.
Yuk!
Meaning, Wilder should have taken the Whyte offer by Hearn months ago.

Its all the same sh it aj not interested in no face to face with wilder and wilder not showing up cos he knows whyte will face off him joshua v parker should be all this week ends about parker imo os better than both whyte and wilder and see this going the distance wilder looked terrible v ortiz his punch power saved his ass whyte looked class v browne think wilder v whyte is a 50/50 fight

If that was true they would be negotiating the AJ fight, not trying to negotiate a pathetic mismatch whyte fight.

Hearn is the promoter for both. It's his job to try and get all his fighters fights. Are you too ****** to realise that. Should he stall Whyte's career on purpose? FFS

That's never been said. Both want him. Wilder wants neither proven by the ****** demands.

Joshua can't force Wilder to fight. Whyte can.

So just because Whyte "wants" to fight Wilder, Wilder should oblige? Also, what has Hearn countered with for a Joshua Wilder fight? If Hearn and Joshua want to unify, what is the number they are willing to offer? Negotiations are two-way and the last I check the first ask is always greater than what you're willing to accept. How do we know that Hearns offer (if there is one) is reasonable.

I already told that dude the same thing earlier this week.

Also "fanager"! I was rollin!

Ohhh ok. So he already knows. That lets me know right there he really doesn't want to see the fight.

And I can't take credit fr "fanager" I got that from Steve Kim

Exactly. Fight Whyte, his MANDATORY in the U.K. for mega bucks.
AJ fight is then hyped, Wilder introduced to U.K. casuals, Wilder makes a career-high pay check.
Beat Whyte then fight AJ.

Or, do NEITHER, withdraw from your Sky Sports commentary gig and sit in Alabama moaning about AJ not doing enough to make the fight.

What a fool.

Wilder will oblige eventually. When he's forced to by the WBC. He needs to come to the table with a reasonable split for Joshua or he'll be fighting Whyte at the end of the year. It's that ****ing simple. Either way Wilder will be fighting a Hearn fighter soon.

I really hope Parker wins this weekend so everything will backfire on Hearn. People hated Floyd for his business moves but yet they praise AJ and Hearn for it, difference was that Floyd put in the work and worked his way to that level and wasn't handed to him based on being the countries savior. And yes there have been plenty of fights that guaranteed a fighter fighting the champ if they beat a certain fighter before that. Wilder beats Whyte, then Hearn gonna throw in that he needs to fight Bellew or Chisora next. Wilder should just do his own thing, fight the next available opponent till AJ and Hearn actually really want the fight instead of throwing other fighters in front of AJ.

[A.K]

The only thing ridiculous is the UK fans wanting nothing to do with a wilder AJ fight bunch of cucks.
