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

[Boxing Goat]

Hilarious that Wilder is so afraid of Whyte. Won't even turn up to the job he agreed to do because of him. Shook.

You can't possibly be that dumb

As a fight fan, not a fanager, do you want to see the Wilder vs. Joshua fight?

Fanager LMAO!!! that description is so perfect, I think you may have to call Webster.

I love it man Wilder is ****ing schooling Hearn lately.

The reason Hearn is pushing for Wilder to fight Whyte is because (apart from Whyte being Wilder's mandatory) he watched Wilder hang on for dear life in Round 7 against Ortiz and believes Whyte has the tools to beat Wilder and set up a much bigger and more lucrative rematch in the UK between Whyte and AJ.

We can all agree that Eddie loves the big paydays and Whyte/AJ (if Whyte beats Wilder) is bigger than Wilder/AJ, so that's his thinking.

The reason Wilder is looking for a guarantee from AJ is because he (and deep down his fans do too) knows there's a very real possibility of losing to Whyte. If that happens, Wilder's market value will tank, and he'll be forced into the Wilder-ness to either rebuild or retire, with the big money payday against AJ a distant pipedream.

If Wilder fights and beats Whyte, then there should be no further delays in setting up a Wilder/AJ fight.

Didn't read the rest of your post, just wanted to point out Whyte is not the Mando. He's the #1 contender, WBC has not ordered a Mando yet.

Hearn said today in an ideal perfect world he would have Joshua win at the weekend and set up a deal for Whyte Vs wilder where the winner is guaranteed Joshua .. the only stipulation being that if wilder loses against whyte he will give him a rematch clause to win back the title before either faces Joshua..

That's not exactly a bad ****ing deal if wilder is willing for that. A payday or even two with Whyte and then a guarantee of joshua?

Who the heck does Eddie think he is? He cannot give wilder a rematch. Wilder demands the rematch as the champion making a voluntary. Whyte is still not Wilder's mandatory and may never be. Eddie acts like he is doing Wilder a favor - no he is not.

His actual words were "i would have to give him a rematch if he fought Whyte" . he didn't offer it he acknowledged that as champion wilder would ask for one or require one and that he would be happy to have it in the contract in case Whyte won the first ..

So in regards to who Eddie thinks he is.. he thinks he's the promoter that knows what he has and is required to do

The problem is Hearn has not been willing to make that guarantee. The last time he met with Wilders people he pulled a fast one and tried to get them to fight Whyte, and there was no offer of AJ. It's not hard to tell who's lying. Wilders people told the whole story, and put Hearn on blast, Hearn responded by calling them names. I don't think Wilder having a guarantee of an AJ fight after Whyte is a big deal, don't see why anyone would.

I don’t know why people acting so shocked about what he said as stated this months ago..... And for the ******s asking how can Hearn guarantee Joshua if he takes Whyte fight it’s simple as Hearn wants Whyte/joshua2 anyways the winner gets Joshua set fight for June/July and winner fights aj in nov/dec

I got that from Steve Kim. Gotta give credit.

I love it man Wilder is ****ing schooling Hearn lately.

How? Getting nowhere closer to where he was 5 months ago.. with AJ still making huge money in another unification and his other heavyweight now being ranked number 1.. forcing wilder to either give him a voluntary or beat the fat slob breazeale to force the Mando?

Yeah...schooling Hearn bigtime.
