Comments Thread For: Hearn To Wilder: Fight Whyte Now or No Rematch Clause Later

[Corelone]

Nobody knows who Wilder is.

AJ is famous on an island, that's not fair. He has a captive audience. A bunch of people packed on a rock with nothing else to talk about.

yeah lol, as i keep saying they are gonna live off that ortiz win for a long time (a win where he was very very close to being stopped if it wasnt for the ref giving him ages to recover). and if you mention that ortiz was an old man who'd looked like **** and slowed down horribly in recent years, you get slaughtered as a 'hater'. It was a solid win but NOWHERE NEAR what its being made out to be.

I guessing u forgot ur guy was even closer to being stopped by a even older guy🤔🤔🤔

Can someone give me a reason why wilder doesn't want a nice payday agaignst whyte? That's not a dig I just don't understand it, whyte really isn't much, nice exposure and payday for fighting him and sends out a big statement if he does a real number on him.

I think its because of the way Hearn and Joshua are handling it. Wilder sees himself as a champ and they are trying to make him jump through hoops as if he is some unaccomplished ringer.

Hearn is being a real d*ckhead bully and normally I would say Wilder should tell him to **** off. but at this point, Wilder should go to England, get that money, knock Whyte into space, and start screaming BOMBSQUAD at Eddie post-fight

That would be amazing if Wilder sparked Whyte like he did Stiverne. Then AJ would probably never fight him... haha.

Its more about Hearn being a prick and trying to force Deyontays hand. When someone does biz like Hearn does it turns ppl off from what would normally be easy negotiations. Hearn is being a real **** and everyone who is not a Britt can admit it. Laughable to use a rematch clause agains WHYTE as leverage. Sad.

Wilder also fears an upset in whyte,

Don't be moronic. If he felt like that he'd not have fought Ortiz who is twice the fighter Whyte is.

In fact Wilder should come back at Hearn and say he'll fight Whyte if Whyte first fights and beats Ortiz.

Wilder isn't playing Hearn's game.

Hearn should be saying "sure lets make the AJ bout next." Instead he repeats what Wilder already suggested like he said something new. Can't wait until Wilder knocks AJ out. So this money grumbling promoter wont be the topic of discussion.

This fight obviously isn't going to happen. Wilder is putting obstacles in front of any possible show down. He said of Thaboxingvoice that he's only fight Whyte if Whyte fought Ortiz next, he accused Hearn of putting the Whyte fight as a road block to Joshua but then uses Ortiz to do the same thing with Whyte, such a hypocrite.

Even if Whyte does fight Ortiz and beat him, when would that happen, in the summer, so he then fights Whyte in late 2018, so what about making the Joshua fight as soon as possible? Why delay that fight until 2019 by forcing Whyte to fight Ortiz and then fighting Whyte?

He also said he'd take Whyte if Joshua was guaranteed but Hearn agreed to that a while ago, so he's just repeating a demand that's already been agreed to but has done nothing to move forward with the Whyte fight. Instead he talks about Breazeale or Kownacki being next. The fact he's already looking into other options before even approaching Whyte or Joshua suggests him and his team have no intentions of starting any kind of serious negotiations for either of them.

To be fair to Wilder, Hearn clearly doesn't want the Joshua fight until late 2018 but the Whyte fight is there and he'll make more than double what he's earned before for Whyte yet still isn't interested. But Wilder just keeps flapping his lips and making excuses.

You talking about Wilder-Whyte like it’s a fight that actually matters. AJ and Wilder are the two undefeated heavyweight kingpins, assuming AJ takes care of business tomorrow. That’s the fight that needs to happened next. And as you stated, Hearn is the reason it’s not. That’s the problem here. Wilder not wanting to waste time on a fight that means nothing shouldn’t be held against him. Especially when he’s the one trying to make the fight that actually matters.
