Comments Thread For: Wilder Manager Contacts Hearn, Reacts To 'Publicity Stunt' Claim

[mvooom]

Part of what Hearn said in his last interview:

"If this is genuine, then of course we are interested in it, very interested. But I need to know know where the money is coming from, like, is it really there? And I need to know exactly what they want from Anthony in return."

If Hearn wasn't interested, then why the heck is he asking for a meeting with Wilder's people to discuss it?

And if Wilder's side are serious, then why the heck do they need AJ to say "I accept the offer" before they will even talk to Hearn?

Get real, ffs. That's the kind of **** you would expect from a school girl who has fallen out with her BFF over some ****, not serious business men trying to strike a $100million deal.

The other part of what Hearn said that you skipped.

"Not this weekend, but if the money is there and the venue is to our liking, the money is secure and the other rights are taken care of there is a real strong chance this fight could happen," Hearn said.

There is nothing that isn't there - buts, ifs, strong chance, could... Infact the whole sentence screams of a man looking for a hole in the offer. Remember, this was the same Hearn that didn't even negotiate 50/50 before the Parker fight. He simply got up and walked away.

But I can't keep going on with you again today, it's a waste of both our time.

What could be wrong with the location? This can only be made in Vegas, so why complain at this exposure? What is wrong with the timing? It's the same Hearn was talking about. The ref and the judges? It's unlikely to go for the cards and the ref will definitely be better than these the ones on these two last Joshua's fights

I could have sworn that Anthony Joshua responded to Deontay Wilder on Instagram with "Let's Roll". If this offer is to be taken seriously why isn't Joshua's response to be taken seriously? Finkel's letter says that all they want is an acceptance from Anthony Joshua. He did not specify in what form that acceptance should come in. This is getting really ****** by the way. Are public negotiations a new tactic in trying to promote a fight!?

Whatever a contract is written on, you need to be given it before you can sign it. And if you have a brain in your head, you will want to read it first.

Well yea, but again if they can't give you 50M then their side isn't binding & you ain't got sh^t to worry about.

Obviously there are more t's to cross & i's to dot, but I think you get my point. Plenty of things get agreed to w/o a deal officially signed & only a done deal once the more trivial sh^t gets detailed on out.

Asking AJ to say he accepts the offer before they will even talk to Hearn about it is bull****. The only possible reason I can think of for why they would do that is that they know there is something in it he won't like or can't agree to, and they want to score PR points by having him first say he agrees, then go back on his word and turn the offer down.

Care to theorize what you think that could be?

I don't see Wilder being as about PR points as Hearn & Joshua. And I f#cking wish Haymon was about PR cuz then maybe PBC woulda gotten a TV deal by now.

So now Joshua fans want proof of funds.

Let me get this straight...

Wilder/Finkel/Haymon are saying they will guarantee Joshua $50 mill, and to agree to the guaranteed $50 mill offer.

Because they want them to agree to the $50 mill guarantee, if Josh does agree to it, Wilder's people HAVE to get those $50 mil guarantee for Joshua. If they don't, that would breech the agreement.

So all this time, Wilder and co have been calling Joshua and co.'s bluff, any road block they put put it, Wilder and his team knocks it down. This is the new road block, "show us the money". It's time for Joshua and his team to call Wilder and his team bluff for a change. They've been losing this battle, looking silly, along with their parrots (fans), parroting anything they say and any requests they have. It's enough, accept the $50 mill offer, fight, and then sue if they don't give it to you.

This is exactly what I said yesterday. Plus we all know the funds come from the live gate and PPV and sponsors. Just accept the damn thing already.

Wow. They really make people as dumb as you? All Hearn has to agree to is the $50 million. Nothing more. "Yes, we'll take the 50 Ms now let's see the contract" Then after that he signs off on all the other details. If he doesn't like them, he doesn't sign.

"Let's Roll" - Anthony Joshua. They need to let it be know what else they want him to say if this is not enough.

Finkel's letter that is in this article says that all they want is for Anthony Joshua to accept. They didn't say anything about Eddie Hearn or specify in any way what form his acceptance should come in. They didn't send a contract to sign. So "Let's Roll" on Instagram is about as official as the offer it's self is.

Oh I'm sorry. When did AJ become his own boss? So this fight can be made without hearns involvement?
