Can I ask one SERIOUS question about this 50 million offer

[New England]

Joshua has said categorically he wants the fight in the UK.Therefore Sky will take priority, as they are Joshua's Go to Network.Showtime's contract is up with Joshua and they have a handshake agreement with Wilder.If Showtime/CBS put the money up or helped this deal their would've been rumours or sources coming out that they intervened

where do youthink the fight will be broadcast other than showtime ppv? showtime offered to step in and mediate, if oyu recall. you need rumors, because those indicators are as good as rumors? that they wanted to mediate isnt' an indication that they're the ones broadcasting? you'd prefer a rumor over their offer to mediate?

”We do. We have a vested interest in both guys, and feel attached to each,” Showtime vice president and general manager Stephen Espinoza exclusively told Sky Sports.

“If we can help mediate, we will. We have offered that. We are a key element of the negotiation.”


it is what it is, man. horses and water and making them drink. all of that

It will only be PPV if it's in America though.Joshua has said he is not going America, i doubt Showtime would put 5 figures up for a Afternoon Broadcast

yes, the offer was for a fight in america. can't see why joshua wouldn't travel if he's going to make more money here. they're claiming they can't make that much at home, right? or else the purse split for 12.5 million would be way, way out of line.


not looking good for people claiming wilder is ducking, though, you agree?

biggest reason for not wanting a fight to go to the states if that's where the money is wouldbe officiating and scorecards. that's not going to be an issue in this fight, they're HW who rarely clinch, and the fight won't go 12 in a million years.


eddie hearn does not want this fight right now. he wants it less than wilder's people, i'll tell yout hat much.

believe it or not some of the brits in this thread don't agree. lots of the reasonable ones are coming around, or are not longer posting in these threads the way they were a week ago.

eddie hearn wants this fight less. less than wilder. less than joshua. less than wilder's handlers. and eddie holds the leverage, he's promoting the biggest draw in boxing after all, and wilder is nowhere near ppv without him. joshua can go and make multiple millions fighitn cans, wilder can make about 20% of that against a can. maybe.

have they made this clear or not? is this $50/ £50 mil? makes a big difference, is joshua talking about pounds and the americans dollars lol, surely not

also there is no doubt that joshua himself wants this fight, if u think otherwise u are plain wrong, hearn on the other hand im sure would be happy to milk it or marinate it or whatever for a fight or two

plus joshua has stated many times that he wants this fight in london, will 50 mil dollars be enough to change his mind about this?

Povetkin will take priority?

Finkel or Wilder didnt confirm that, they said anywhere including the UK.Hearn will not send Joshua to Las Vegas in a Wilder/Al Haymon controlled promotion....That is common sense.
