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

[Ake-Dawg]

Wilder does have to fit the mould. He can't be asking for 40% and ****** stipulations or 50% against a fighter that makes 10x more than he does. That's pricing yourself out.

Wilder is the one playing the game. Only wanting the fight if he gets vastly overpaid.

40% is a reasonable ask. Especially in a negotiation. Again...what's Hearns counter offer?

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.

Well.. Hearn literally said in interviews today that Joshua won't be fighting til year end.. so if wilder wants the fight he can fight Whyte in June with a guarantee that if he wins he gets AJ. That the Whyte fight will not be signed until both guys have a guarantee that the winner meets AJ. Unless wilder loses then he can have the obvious rematch ..again guaranteed with, Whyte whereby he can then try win his belt back . Where the winner can then get Joshua.

Why can you people not see.. that he has multiple fighters to look after and promote and "milk" the brothers. . Why just milk Joshua when he has a position to milk him and Whyte

We have to see this fight this year. If Joshua beats Parker then you have the top two fighters in the division with all the belts and both are undefeated and have knocked out all their opponents. It doesn't get any better than that for Heavyweight boxing. I really hope this doesn't get dragged out into next year. This is boxing (especially HW boxing) and you just never know what can happen in the next fight so I want to see it now.

Wbc is going to issue breazeale/Whyte eliminator for next mando spot anyways and breazeale beats him messing up Hearn little roadblock

Nothing Deontay Wilder saw Saturday or at any other point of Dillian Whyte's career makes him hesitant to fight Whyte. If Wilder were to agree to make his next title defense against Whyte, though, that contract would need to assure the unbeaten WBC heavyweight champion that a fight against Anthony Joshua would come next. Eddie Hearn promotes Joshua and Whyte, which makes Wilder's proposition realistic.

nothing wrong with that proposal from Wilder

Wilder calling Edward "Fast Eddie" Hearns' bluff about a Wilder vs Whyte fight!

Have at it, give Wilder lions share of him vs Whyte and put it in the UK then have AJ fight Miller at Barclays and winner vs Wilder/Whyte gets Joshua and with Wilder he takes whatever they offer but if he wins then in a rematch AJ gets what Wilder got in the first fight!

Sounds like a plan and very feasible, let's see what other excuses Edward and Joshua come up with and as well as his legion of fan girls!

AJ agreed to Wilder's proposition of first fight it's a whatever I get offer but if I win then you must take what I got in the first fight into the rematch!

Hearns likely sweating Englishmen oil sheen reading this LMAO

after Saturday..we talk JParker!

New Zealand's J Parker will be disrupting fast Eddie's plans...Eddie knows well....Wilder's right hand connects on AJ and its Lights Out!!!!

This is what Wilder asked for last year is it not? I'm not shooting the messenger. I'm just stating that Wilder could have fought Whyte 3 weeks ago and the Wilder Joshua fight could be announced next week.

didn't Wilder say that he would accept whatever split they offered him..... just so long as the splits were reversed in the rematch?

Wilder really has removed all of Hearns excuses

I don't mind them building that fight, so long as they/the fans keep it real..... no way will Wilder step in front of Fury when it comes to paydays for Joshua

People hated Floyd for his business moves but yet they praise AJ and Hearn for it,

I think you'll find everyone who hated Floyd's business moves also hate Hearn's business moves ! Who's praising Hearn's business moves ? eg I recognise he will follow the cash, but that's not praising it, just accepting it (ditto every other promoter).

I think like any other boxer who hasn't gone diva (yet) and started talking about himself in the third person, Joshua will fight whoever is put in the ring with him, so its Hearn pulling the strings.

Much as we would like out warriors to order the promoters around (after all, who works for who?), it doesn't work that way, and just got to face that Hearn pulls the strings.

Does Hearn want Joshua v Wilder next ? Hell no. Joshua can truck on making 20m+ every fight without Wilder, and Wilder might just KO him.

Hearn and Wilder can keep blaming the other for the fight not happening until Hearn is good and ready to make the fight, else he has to. Could take a couple of years. Hearn won't guarantee Joshua if Wilder fights Whyte.

As for money, a Fury fight is a more lucrative longer term plan for Joshua. Someone mentioned Canelo/Golovkin, but there were no alternatives that could generate that sort of money for either of them, so that fight had to be worked out, and it did. Not so Wilder/Joshua (yet).

Best thing Wilder could do is go to the UK and start beating people up there, starting with Whyte. Even Hearn knows that. But even now Wilder is saying 'bring Whyte over to the the US...', which won't get the Joshua fight any closer.

Wilder v Joshua is 2020 earliest folks, and that assumes they both keep winning. Parker might have something to say about that (doubt it, but you never know).
