“I have to see a contract,” Hearn said. “It’s not even really the money. We don’t want to be involved in a show where you have to try and achieve the money. So what I’m saying is, if they need to get $50 million to show me, they could do it very easily. They can go and raise the finances from a bank. You can do anything you want. But it’s not say a situation of, ‘Where’s the fight? Oh, we’ll let you know.’ And then go out and say to Barclays or to MGM or to Abu Dhabi or to Saudi Arabia, ‘Who wants Anthony Joshua?’ They don’t have the right to do that.
“So we’d prefer it to go, ‘All right, it’s MGM, Las Vegas.’ They don’t even have to give us a date. It could be October. ‘These are the broadcasters. All right, you’ve got your broadcasters that you’re involved with. That’s fine. This is how the media tour will work. These are your obligations.’ That’s how you start conversations. Not, ‘Here’s $50 million. Do you agree or not? You’ve got 24 hours. Go!’ ”
This isn't unreasonable. It's very suspect to cancel a meeting and say agree or don't agree but you can't see if the money is guaranteed, when the fight is and where etc; The deal could say $50m if the fight cracks x amount of buys and raises x amount of money and then he's agreed to it and they are robbed out of what he'd be guaranteed with a proper contract.
If they aren't willing to meet to discuss a $50m contract then it's highly doubtful it really exists.Comment

This from a guy who skipped a bid session to keep the price low, then made a side deal to pay Smith more without giving Pedraza his 75% champion's cut. He doesn't care about the other guy. He'd get Wilder in London for peanuts if he could.Comment

This is what it comes down to for me, no sane person would be put 50m down and then cancel a meeting scheduled to iron details out. The “He has to agree” to it first makes it sound so amateurish too.Comment

Hearn is a fraud, Al Haymon is the same dude who made Mayweather vs McGregor, what does his dum Brit and all the other scared dummies think Wilders team can’t make this fight happen for us, the boxing fans, Eddie is a con artist liarComment

I like that.... but in all honesty propose to me how the sequence of events should go where both teams are satisfied. I’m not trying to play devil advocate but even if they offered 100 million guarantee they should at least meet and discuss. That’s not too much to ask is it?Comment

They're trying to force AJ to accept 50 million dollars...comical
And so are you guys. Tf is wrong with you dudes???
It's clear they want Hearn having NOTHING to do with promotion of this event, and he's worried about things that deal with promotion of the event, like what they charge for seats!
Hearns JOB is to get AJ the most most money possible. No more no less. He's worried about everything but...
Buckle up. Wilder says he's going to force AJ to get rid of Hearn. Things are about to get interesting for you Hearn fans...Comment
