Comments Thread For: Hearn on Wilder's Offer: Wonderful PR Move, We Need a Contract

[Reverb]

*Gets contract*

"We need the $50 million, in pounds, upfront, or no fight."

Didn't get a contract, just an email from Wilder saying there's $50 million for Joshua. There's literally nothing to sign yet.
They didn't say 'money up front', a contract would be required to $50 million a factual statement.
At least both sides have a meeting coming up soon, hopefully they all get it organised soon.
I wouldn't be very surprised if they both have another fight each before facing each other.

No where to run eddie.. we readdy eddie!

Why do UK Fans think that Joshua and Hearn actually care about them ?

Relax life is beautiful, why are you so angry! I couldn’t care less what Hearn or Joshua cares about. I would catch any fight for free like I usually do. I watch fights because am a fan of the sport not because of posters, promoters or bandwagons.

So...wheres the contract?

And why have Wilder's team put in a clause of 24 hours? This is the same team that lied and said Hearn had placed a 24 hour limit on them...I assume the usuals such as red prick, barry mustafa and co will come on here and claim "24 hours take it or leave it is bs" as they did previously...waiting

Alot of Team Wilders and Joshuas insiders and experts in this thread apparently. At least they got your full attention. Didnt say they if you are serious dont negotiate through the media? What is it now?

Fight by the end of the year but its the "next" fight.. that means both fighters will sit out for another 6 months?

All of that. And I'm guessing Vegas (which would be AWESOME for a HW fight like this). But where the money is coming from, i.e. if it's legit and won't fall through is a big one. I doubt they'd have made the offer otherwise, though. They'd probably let AJ walk last if he takes it. Be a cool fight.

Also location, date, venue, TV network, time, ringwalks, glove sizes, sanctioning bodies, where the money is coming from, press conferences, etc.

If it's real then this is a great offer for AJ. He doubles his highest payday and cracks America when he smashes Wilder to bits.

Two birds, one stone.

Only losers here are UK fans who have to stay up until 5am. And the guys putting up the money if it doesn't do great numbers.

What do we do now?

What do we do now?

Cross your fingers and toes and pray to whatever higher power you believe in, and maybe even a few you don't believe in just to be safe.

The fight's never felt this close to being made, I can almost taste it. The suspense is too much.

This offer has been backed by both Haymon and Showtime. Haymon represents over 200 boxers and has never paid in monopoly money. The deal is a guarantee of $50 million and if the purse is over $100 million combined it is 50/50. No rematch clause, fight takes place between September and December at the location of Wilder's choosing.

Wilder- backed by Al Haymon and HBO- have made this offer. AJ immediately said let's roll. Now Hearn is saying show me a contract. They do not go through all the minor details, until there is an agreement on the pay. That is how it works.

AJ gave Wilder an offer for $12.5 million. Wilder laughed and said he should get $50 million. AJ said offer me $50 million and I'll sign it in less than 24 hours. Now Wilder has made an offer. I notice, Hearn did not say, he will accept the deals. You get together and negotiate. You know, like Hearn has done for every other foe AJ or anyone else has ever fought.

The deal is $50 mill. Over $100 and it is split 50-50. No Rematch clause. Wilder picks the location. Must take place between September and December this year.

Why will Hearn just not say yes, if that is the deal, then we agree??? Because when Hearn says that, he does not need to say it is a PR stunt because the media and fans will already be saying that if Wilder did not send a contract. All Hearn has to do is say yes.

If Hearn says yes, then the contract will be sent within a day or two at the most otherwise it was a PR stunt. If Hearn really believed it was a PR stunt, he would say, "Ok, you got a deal. Send the contract and we will sign it." But he won't say that, because he knows they will send a contract.

HBO has nothing to do with this deal bro
