When Hearn sent the 12.5 take it or leave it offer

[Earl-Hickey]

Why was there no need to sit down, no contract..JUST TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT??? AND HIS FANS WERE OK WITH THAT!!!...Joshua himself says offer me 50 million and we have a fight..RIGHT???? So now that the $50 million has been offered and all they wanna here is OK THE $50 MILLION IS COOL LETS TALK!!!..WHY ALL THE DAMN EXCUSES FROM HEARN AND JOSHUA FANS??? Do ya'll even really want to see this damn fight?

What happened to we dont talk bout money

What happened to dat boy

thick as bricks.... 12.5 offer will have been sent to his management drafting a UK based fight where matchroom take lead on all promo.. the fight by matchrooms estimates is probs in the region of 40m total purse wise..

100m sounds outlandish and both hearn and Josh say in interviews if there was a 50m up front offer, they'd take it because it's so ridiculous that someone could put up that much money up front for this fight.. its like wilder watched the interview and has just fired up the email, no discussing with his management first. as for his management's cancelling of ideal face to face meets, what's with that? contracts happen between management, not the fight themselves

there's only one guy been filling stadiums here, they know what the fight is roughly worth and are right to question anyone able to put up 50m up front unless wilder is behind the scene taking short money compared, probs in line with the 12.5m offer ironically

I still see no reason why they can't meet.
After Hearn's flat offer, he was told it wouldn't be accepted and there would be a counter offer. In the mean time and before the counter Hearn tried to set up a meeting to talk in person.
What's wrong with meeting..that's where things will get done.

Why not just ok, now lets talk?? and why do they have to pay upfront??? was Wilder going to get his 12.5 upfront?

Yes - he was.. Or most likely half of it, as that is what a true guarantee involves. Getting at least half the money BEFORE the fight.

You making excuses, you don't want this fight.
