Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua Wants Wilder - But He Wants The Fight in The UK

[Redgloveman]

So you agree that Hearn never accepted the financial terms. It didn't appear that you did from your first posts. What I haven't had anyone explain to me is, how agreeing to the proposed financial terms legally obligates Joshua to fight. Certainly it legally binds him to the financial terms, but only if they fight.

I'm impressed with your ability to Google Hearns last few interviews, read or listen to them and respond to me and others in this thread in such a short time frame. Hats off to you.

If he has been deemed to have entered into a contract and then reneged on the contract by refusing to fulfil their contractual obligations (principally, fighting at a proposed time and place) then Wilder's side could potentially sue for breach of contract.

The contractual measure of damages is that you have to put the party which has suffered loss as a result of your breach of contract into the position that they would have been in had you performed the contract correctly.

So Wilder could potentially sue for the full amount of money that he would have received had they fought. This could be a huge amount of money.

I'm not saying that a court would necessarily agree with a contract having been legally created - in all probability the contract would be considered "void for uncertainty" which is where the contract hasn't been drafted in sufficient detail for the parties to actually complete their obligations. Having said that, no legal adviser would ever consider allowing the risk of a contract being held to be valid - it just flat out would NEVER happen.

Even aside from this, Hearn would be in a terrible position from a PR point of view as well as legally in a bad place. Again, no lawyer in their right mind would ever allow Hearn to say "I accept the offer".

Concerning that I haven't searched google extensively, including hours' worth of time on youtube trawling through videos, in the hunt for something that I don't know actually exists - I'm sure you'll forgive me if I say I don't really have the time.

Only reason he's here is because of pr work with ifltv

You got to say it with your chest. You love Eddie Hearn stop trying to garner more Facebook Friends. Not one American has accepted your Facebook requests .Stop stating the obvious and stand up for what you truly believe in . Stop paraphrasing other posts and get some backbone of your own for god sake������

Wilder has said before that he has no problem with traveling. Shouldn't be a problem. 50 mil plus home court....if that isn't enough for AJ's side then they should just openly admit that they aren't ready for it yet and move on.

They’re not going to give him 50million to go to the UK.
The Americans are putting up the money to get it in Vegas.
The big money is in the USA.
If AJ insists on home cooking the money will be a lot less.
For the record I don’t care where the fight is

He announced a $1 billion deal yesterday. Small time?

Show the proof of funds.

Man, you just don't get it.

Why do people hate on Hearn?

Is it.. that he doesn't pay fighters enough? No, the fighters who are with him love him and say they were never treated better.

Is it... that he promised he would make british boxing great again and failed? No.. british boxing has never been better.

Is it... that he hasn't put on any big shows? No.. he continuously puts on the biggest events of the year worldwide year after year.

I don't get this hate on Hearn, he's done tremendous for boxing. Would you rather go back to the days of a saturday night card consisted of Darren Barker vs (insert african journeyman) with Lee Purdy in a 8 rounder as chief support?

I don't get this bs. If you're a boxing fan, you should support what he's doing.

He was literally with the president of the netword

If Eddie Hearn is telling you out of his own mouth that the fight is worth more money in America than England doesnt that say the offer is real?

joshua makes 20 million in England no matter who he fights. so by hearn saying that the fight is worth more in America than England that automatically means that the purse is higher than 20 million.

so if the number is higher than 20 million and the only number that we've heard from hearn mouth is 50 million why do you still doubt it?

Barry hearn exact words last week were if joshua has 30 days to live then I would advise him to take the money, but if he wants to build a legacy, delay the fight 12 months.

What does Barry hearn mean by take the money? it means the offer is real

Exactly. If anyone actually reads this post properly and comprehends it, everything there makes sense - if that offer wasn't legitimate, either Barry or Eddie Hearn would have been the first to say in their recent interviews that the offer wasn't real. It would have been a huge PR victory for them if Finkel couldn't back up the offer. The fact that the Hearns have had the opportunity, but still referred to the 50m, speaks volumes.

If Joshua was the real deal like Lennox Lewis, he'd just go to America and handle his business in the ring. Lewis didn't give a **** where the fight was, and he generated big crowds in Britain. He just wanted to prove his greatness and was confident in his ability, and knew that he had to fight in America to claim his rightful place in history. Joshua literally isn't fit to carry Lewis's jock strap. He's just a big stiff tree with basic skills. I'm British by the way.

That's because Lennox Lewis was essentially a Glorified North American anyway.He learnt and came across boxing in Canada-and then the trainer who changed him into a World Class Fighter was a American Boxing Legend named Emanuel Steward.Tyson and Holyfield also made the US Hot for Heavyweight Boxing so it never made sense to fight outside America.
