Comments Thread For: Espinoza: Joshua-Wilder 'Significantly Easier' To Do if Both With SHO

[DougalDylan]

Dana White is attending Cardiff to watch the fight from ringside and reports are circulating that he wants to sign AJ for a lot of money..500mil!

Doubt Showtime can match that.. But what channel would Dana White put AJ on.

The last interviews Hearn did he sad Dana was coming but had subsequently pulled out. Similar to the Wilder situation he could change his mind, it would be good to see them all there ..

Wilder, Fury, Whyte, Povetkin, Haye (presumably Joyce), Bellew, Price .. anyone know if Hearn invited Miller ,, you can see the problem with one getting in the ring .. you can bet the rest would follow. Come on Wilder you can't miss this .. they're paying you to have a microphone with a million listeners.

Yea just saw that interview so apparently he's not coming anymore.. Both of them should attend.. It's a spectacle and I would have loves to see the IFL TV interviews with both those guys at fight night.

Akin to Pimp running away from Kovalev.

It was a mandatory fight. A purse bid was ordered. Kovalev refused to fight.

this fight for me doesn't happen for another two years at least. Boxing at its finest.

Pimp ran away from a verbal agreement and signed with Showtime.

LOL oh boy here we go

Pimp ran away from a verbal agreement and signed with Showtime.

That was the spin of the HBO propaganda machine, but the facts don't support that premise. Stevenson was a restricted free agent and obligated to find the best offer and present to HBO to match. HBO declined their matching option. HBO wasn't even offering Kovalev next. They wanted Stevenson to fight another opponent and then Kovalev. SHO wanted him to fight another opponent and then Hopkins. Hopkins was considered the bigger fight and Hopkins was the unified champion, but who Stevenson fought really wasn't up to him. It was HBO to match or not. They chose not to. Not Stevenson's fault.

None of which changes the fact that Kovalev then demanded to become Stevenson's mandatory and when the fight was ordered, Kovalev refused to fight Stevenson.

Hmmm..

I can see Hearn going with HBO to cause another reason why the Wilder fight for AJ cannot be made yet...Since Wilder is with Showtime, these two networks rarely like to work with eachother. That will be Hearns excuse why this fight dont get made yet.

[QUOTE=miked85;18616671]wilder had a good interview last night on tha boxing voice, he spoke on alot of bull**** going on, there's some **** **** going on[/QUOTE

The politics in boxing suck. I love how Wilder is exposing the system.
I mean just listen to hern what bull**** only about money not legacy. Wilder would make twice as much with me... Wilder not worried he is a true champ that believes in himself lasting a long time.

if Wilder keeps crying like a 12yr old youtube teenager we'll never see this fight.

This is showbiz, man. Act accordingly. He should have gone to the UK this week, make himself visible to the public eye. Stop the delusional thinking that you're somehow the biggest threat ever. It's about money and numbers. Joshua can put 80thousand ppl in a stadium. Wilder? People barely know about his existence besides us boxing fans.

Get real.
