Good why drag it out. Either negotiate and try to get it done or move on

Hearn is the only good dude amongst a bunch of scumbag promoters

Wait? Did he provide Team Wilder with all that information when he made the offer to them? Everyone knows that there was no way Hearn would let AJ agree to a 50 million offer and letting Team Wilder promote the fight and choose the date and venue.

You basically want control of fight but them front boatload of money not how it works Eddie up that offer

[kavi521]

This fight is not happening next. Hearn does not want it. He knows that he can get another couple of fights out of Joshua and make good money.

I think Joshua does want it but Hearn would advise him to wait.

I think Joshua should be fav in this fight but that does not mean Wilder can not win. Current performance on last 2 fights, I would give the edge to Wilder, only because Ortiz better than Takam and Parker. Which is not a bash at Parker.

I can’t give them an answer on do we accept their offer until they give me answers on quite a few things - the date and venue for example. That matters to us.

The venue is obviously T-Mobile Arena. Hearn knows that. The date would be mutually agreed upon by both parties to maximize PPV buys. These excuses make no sense.

If it’s in England, then it’s much more likely we would take the fight. Also is there a rematch? What channel is it on? What control do we have? Because AJ has major corporations sponsoring him.

More nonsense. It's obviously not going to be in England. They're not going to overpay AJ just to bring the fight to AJ's home. Even Hearn has admitted the fight would make more in Vegas and obviously part of the motivation for overspending on the fight is to maximize Wilder's chances of winning.

There's no rematch. Hearn knows that. That was clearly specified in the offer.

AJ's existing sponsorships and how to navigate that would be mutually agreed upon in negotiations. That doesn't stop Hearn from saying, "we agree in principle on 50 million, depending on the other details obviously, so let's start negotiating the other details."

If we accept their offer and then don’t go through with the fight because we’re not happy, then we look like shmucks.

No, they look like schmucks now refusing to accept the amount, 50 million, they specifically requested.

If they really want the fight, it'll get done. Haymon's not going to blow the deal over the color of the ring posts or which energy drink sponsors the fight. Hearn is just making excuses. None of this makes sense.

Not only is Hearn a scumbag but he's clueless to the market for Boxing in America.

You're really earning that $10 a day man.

Eddie sounds ******. Asking questions like what channel and where it would take place. It's pretty obvious to everyone that it would take place in Vegas and everyone knows that Wilder fights on Showtime just like AJ. Hearn wants answers to certain question before agreeing to an offer but expected Wilder to agree to his offer without offering the same details he's asking for.
