Comments Thread For: Team Wilder Send '$50 Million' Offer To Joshua For Unification

[Deus]

My thoughts exactly. No way Hearn lets AJ agree and lets DIBella and team Wilder have all the promotional say.

You think Hearn would care? Hearn wants Joshua to become big in the US as that makes him and Joshua a shed load more cash... there would be no better way than beating Wilder for all the belts in Vegas an Vegas is the only place they could hope to get anywhere near the kind of cash they are guaranteeing Joshua.

Where all those Brits that make 10 threads a day? It's not that late over there

Why are you so desperate to continue your fanboy wars rather than actually just be happy that we may be getting the fight we've all been wanting?

Both sides have been calling duck for god knows how long yet here we are with both fighters saying let's get it on.

wilder is a ***ing idiot I swear.

McCracken has more of a say than you think.

[lolasif]

ya.....in theory

lets see what happens and what hearn says

what if hearn comes out and say "their numbers dont add up and dont make sense to me"

i hope this happens but ill wait and reserve judgement till its official

To be fair, the deal on offer does seem to be too good to be true. $50m guarantee, Wilder's team to do all the legwork with regard to securing a venue and TV rights. I would assume that TV rights could be an issue. With Hearn as lead promoter, it's a Sky PPV. Without him as lead promoter, Wilder's team could easily choose to go with ITV or BT for UK Coverage. Something that would cost Hearn the percentage he gets from Sky.

Hearn works for AJ, 50 million is a lot of money for AJ to be able to pay Hearn. Again zero excuse for this fight not to happen now. But yeah let’s see what happens in the next few weeks.

i def agree

but what if hearn can talk AJ out of it? anything is possible...im waiting to hear what hearn says and waiting till its official before i get too excited

[bigdunny1]

Whether the money is real or not this is phuking brilliant by wilder and his team. At worst it shuts down all the bs out hearns mouth. Now the clock is on for him to really negotiate the fight. The pressure is all on hearn

[cameltoe]

I’m telling you, the only person Wilder is fighting next is Dominic Breazeale.

Everything else is just posturing.

[uppercut510]

dibella has no say in anything he's a stooge a sham promoter a puppet.

and what exactly are you bruv?

[STREET CLEANER]

Where are all those idiotic AJ accountants hiding. They will find a way to spin this but they will look foolish like they have been already.

The B side is the one making the offer. And Hearn said that the fight wouldn't make more that $40 million.

Unifications usually do trump mandos, but The IBF might take the view that a unification fight at the end of the year gives AJ time to fulfill their mando order next. A big fight like a 4 belt HW unification takes time to promote properly, and there's no guarantee that AJ won't lose to Povetkin. So what would happen to AJ's guarantee from Wilder if he has to fight Povetkin first? That's what I'm thinking about.

I would think a Wilder fight would overrule the Povetkin fight. At the end of the day if the Povetkin fight happens then it would happen in the UK, Povetkin fought on his undercard recently so there is a connection there.

AJ has nowhere to run now he wanted 50 million Wilder made him the offer time to sign the contract.
