Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder's Team Selling Him Dream of Upside That Doesn't Exist

[Smash]

This whole thing is a total farce, a time expiring agreement in 24hrs, both managers in the same city and wilders guy wont even meet to get this huge fight off the ground, i definitely would not be agreeing to anything with these clowns without seeing some hard details first, thats just common sense.

Joshua wants this fight, just give him the details of it and hey presto u have the fight, instead of the cloak and dagger BS, its embarrassing for wilders side. Looks like they have NO DETAILS whatsoever to give and this is their only way to get around it, they are definitely hiding quite a few things and no way should this BS scheme of theirs be agreed to, no way

Wilder is clowning himself he don’t make that type of money lol

The deadline has come and past and just like Hearns reported deadline it doesn’t really
Matter

At this level of business its war, the deadlines are meant to get the opponent off guard and make a decision that may not be in their best interest

This fight like every other mega fight involving 2 separate sides is all grandstanding and d.ick measuring with each side wanting the fight but trying to get as much of the pie as possible and if they can knock their rival down a couple pegs then even better

Was this offer serious, yeah I’d assume that when 2 of the biggest figures in the sport acknowledge a record breaking guarantee purse then its f.ucking serious

This pathetic attempt at trying to discredit it is a joke

Between Haymon/ Finkell they’ve been involved in Tyson, Mayweather , PAC , Holyfield , Klit and many more top echelon fighters who have generated 100s of millions of dollars for their fights

To act like they don’t know what their doing or don’t have the reported funds available if accepted is beyond dumb

This fight might from estimates generate 75-150 million revenue. For these 2 men that’s not even a fight they’d brag about it’s just a regular big fight to them. This is like a f.ucking regular Tuesday for most of us. If /when they write their autobiography this fight might not even be mentioned in it

If it was a second rate company like Main Events or if some nobody with no track record like me made this offer , I might question the validity of it but with these 2 men it’s ****** to question it and chalk it up as a PR stunt when nothing in either of their past has suggested that they use those tactics

To quote the great Randy Moss They’re about straight cash homey. These men aren’t like Hearn who make bombastic claims and downright lies and get off to their own voice

They’re about staying out of the spotlight and making big deals

All those fighters you mentioned were much bigger attractions though.

Everyone knows that these guys have the money. The only thing in question is whether a $50 million guarantee to a guy like AJ is doable in a fight of this magnitude. The 24hr deadline doesn't make it seem like they're committed to offering that to AJ under most circumstances.

I really don't believe a dude like AJ deserves a $50 mil guarantee at this point, which is precisely why I would've called their bluff and seen where that went.
