Comments Thread For: Hearn: We Won't Let You Play With Our Balls To Overpay Wilder!

[Sid-Knee]

The ones that are scared of losing is hearn & Aj, period. D.Wilder & everyone knows this fight is worth more for both fighters....The longer this stalling goes the more you will have to pay D.Wilder.

If the fight is worth more for both fighters, then you'll have no problem breaking it down to me HOW they make that money?

Show me your business brains?

[hitking]

Am not sure about that, Wilder beats him IMHO. And why wouldn’t he wants more money? He isn’t the one claiming he would do this fight and money isn’t an issue... that was Wilder. He wasn’t the one claiming he was being ducked... that was Wilder. So forget what several of AJ fanboys says in regards to Parker or no Parker. Let’s encourage them to make this fight happen now. I couldn’t careless about the % or flat fee guarantee offer as long as it represents a good offer.

I’ll give you a salute for being a real fight fan and wanting to see the fight. But to me, the offer given wasn’t a good one and in my experience as a boxing fan. Offers like that tend to come from sides that don’t want the fight, at least not at that moment.

If Wilder doesn't take it its a duck. Why fight Breazeale for $2m when he could fight Joshua first, get $40m for 2 fights and then fight Breazeale for $5m+ after? The only reason Wilder doesn't take the fight now is because he doesn't believe he can win and wants to sell his belt. If all he said was true and AJ knows he's going to lose then let AJ sell his belts.

If D.Wilder is scared then why is Aj the one that doesn't even want to talk about him like the boogyman? D.Wilder wont get $40m fighting Aj, Aj wont even get $40m....are you talking about D.Wilder/Aj for 2 fights in a row?

I actually think it’s a great offer. This is why I want Team Wilder to call their bluff. If they come back with pay us 15m then Team Hearn turns around and say no then I would see it as a duck. Why? Because you don’t usually accept the first offer. Again that offer IMHO is a great offer, because they are paying for his services for one fight. Guarantee fee, no options on Wilder etc. For a chance to pick up all the belts? I would put my pen where my mouth is.

An American heavyweight that's pulling over 1 million views on premium cable and putting over 10k people in the arena is evidence of his popularity. He's literally the only HW who can do that outside of Joshua. There are only 4 or 5 fighters in all of the US who can do that actually.

I doubted his star power here too (for years) but the data doesn't lie. He went from averaging like 6k tickets, to about 12k now.

My point is that the evidence is there to support the idea that he's ready to pull in a solid number on PPV. In fact I think they would pull in above 500k in buys from this market if they somehow could put the fight in primetime. (Not sure how late fights air in the UK, but if they could get it close to 7pm ET, it could work.)

Americans love Heavyweights and people have been talking about this fight. I'm a lawyer in NYC with a crowd of friends that couldn't name any fighter outside of Floyd. And even in those circles people are talking about this fight. It's some big money in this fight on the US side.

Now if Hearn wants "marinate" it to run that number up, he should just say that. B/c I think that's what's really going on here.

Haye
Bellew
Povetkin
Pulev
Whyte

All these Heavyweights sell more tickets than Wilder.

If the US loves Heavyweights so much, why is only 1 Mill watching him when your country has over 325 Mill people? Doesn't sound like you love him. Why hasn't he been on PPV then if you love him so much?

[j.razor]

Not really, if Joshua fights is the US he will sell out the Barclays and do bigger numbers on Showtime and that would give Wilder even less bargaining power. AJ's stardom is going from strength to strength. Wilder is stuck, he can't afford to pay to fight anyone decent.

After the Ortiz fight I see things are getting better for D.Wilder. One more K.O. of another opponent & Aj will be out of options then have to do a golovkin & fight a vanes....lol

[j.razor]

That's not what he said though is it. We overpaid him, him and him is what he said. He's going to pay Deontay fairly and give him a shot at 4 belts that should be enough. So Eddie and AJ are scared to lose, take 6x your biggest payday and and belts than fight another bum!

LOL....Sssooooo D.Wilder can't get overpaid like them though right? LOL

[j.razor]

Did you read the rest of the article? Wilders offer is twice the amount Parker got paid. That's more than fair.

But isn't D.Wilder worth more than Parker?

Joshua and Hearn have 1 week left before exorcize Joshua from the boxing world. If they should bypass Wilder this time then Joshua is dead to me. I will only see one champion at hvw and that’s Wilder. I’ll never speak the name of Hearn or Joshua again. This is unprecedented for me because it’s the last resort and hope that a top fighter accepts the challenge or love in infamy. And this is Joshuas last chance with me as a boxing fan. And from what tiny teef said it doesn’t look good.

I did this with Sven Ottke when 40 Cal called him out, and I did this with the fake ass bully Bowe when he ducked Lewis. I washed my hands with their careers. It’s a bit harsh but I’ve seen too many great first fights and great rematches where guys have put it all on the line and came out unscathed. I just let others judge them because I don’t have 1 positive thing to say about them. Not 1.

This is your last chance Anthony because if you don fight Wilder I will disregard you’re career totally. And I promise all of you that I will. Sounds ****** but I keep it G.

I am someone and I am no one!

You're a massive bellend who'll mention AJ for years to come. Don't try and make out you'll do otherwise.

We’ll have to agree to disagree. I think it’s a terrible offer, especially when you’re talking about the biggest fight in boxing’s glamour division in over a decade.
