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

[thabanga510]

its not crazy or outrageous

joshua boldly proclaimed the fight aint worth that money and if they showed it he would take it......a legit manager with legit backing from haymon and showtime claim to have the funds

these arent rinky dinks out here...haymon, espinoza and finkel all have stronggggggg reps

they laid out parameters...that it would be where wilder chose.....the offer is all but public.....hearn just doesnt believe they have the money

they said accept what you said you would accept and we will prove the money is there and guaranteed....its some gamesmenship on finkel/wilders part for sure....but its not a sign of a bluff or fake deal/pr stunt

hearn has messed with them plenty in public....now they are getting a little taste of gamesmenship

Hearn is probably calling all his investors trying to raise the money to do better than their offer. They know that so they put a dead line on the deal. Hearn does not want to lose control of the fight. He makes good money selling those tickets second hand.

True, everybody knows that Pacquiao, Mayweather, Golovkin and Canelo are good for generating big $$$. And their backers can guarantee funds. But Wilder?? Nah. I can see how this is a "show me the money" situation.

Wilder is backed by showtime/Haymon lmao what more do he need to show.....

[Jkp]

He didn't need it.

Matchroom have a reputation for making big money and paying Joshua's opponents well.

Wilder has no reputation and has never earned more than $2m for a fight.

That's the difference.

Wilders Managers have a massive reputation do your homework. They organised some of the biggest fights in history. The money doesnt come from Wilders personal bank account ya muppet.

Keep ya head in the sounds and keep looking for reasons not to make this fight. Can't stand people like you that are just trying to prevent the big fights from happening and protect AJ.

Time to sit down and chop this up, no more excuses

Too bad team Wilder will avoid meeting at any cost.

It's going to be hilarious when this fight gets signed. About 90% of this forum swear it has no chance of happening and both guys are terrified.

The buildup will suck though as it won't be about the fight it's going to be about who was ducking the fight and trying to avoid it and who "doesn't want it" and then the post-fight will be more of the same from what's left of the losers fan base.

I would hope that if the fight gets made, all of the ducking talk will stop.

Wilder is backed by showtime/Haymon lmao what more do he need to show.....

Yes, and they've never put up anything near $50 mill for Wilder. And all I've heard so far is Finkel talking, nothing from Showtime or Haymon.

It won't. If anything it will get worse oddly.

Half the posters here care more about the drama of negotiation than the fights. I can't understand how so many people want to see so few fights.

I have no power to prevent any fight being made so don't worry you ******.

The money doesn't even exist as far as anybody knows because we don't know who's funding it, who's projecting it, etc.

An email from Wilder, not even his handlers, promising something which sounds too good to be true, is not an offer you accept.

You need details. Then agreement. Then finer details. Then contracts.

If they do sign are they going to skip out fighting Povetkin and Breazeal?
