Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua-Wilder Talks Ongoing, I Think it Will Be Next

[Curt Henning]

This is progress and a great effort looking forward to the fight... Joshua-Wilder in Vegas in November will be massive. I bet you Trump will be tgere

really hope that happens...I will be there for sure

Sorry my friend! Hearn has stated "... but we have had an offer that is of interest to us." Hearn's offer was a joke, so the grown folks are taking over!

You've lost me now. Why on earth would Hearn saying that mean he is to blame if the fight doesn't happen?

Only a blindly biased fanboy would think like that.

Some people would rather see one side duck the other than actually seeing the fight.

It's damn pathetic.

He has a legit offer, not a $12.5 Million dollar flat-fee offer (what kind of azzhole does that?), but a real offer! Walk away at his own peril!

Yeah it looked that way, as long as their "guy" isn't blamed then they seem to like it like that.

I'm not sure it will be next but I'm certain within 2 fights. It will be signed by the years end. Hopefully it happens in November or December.

Hopefully Vegas. I'd check it out for sure.

I could understand if the fight didn't happen that people would throw a lot of accusations around as to where the blame is; but people lose their **** whenever there's even a minor hitch in negotiations.

On the other hand when it is reported that things are actually moving forward you see things like:

"this is obviously bull****, Hearn/Wilder/Joshua doesn't really want"

based on next to no evidence whatsoever. It's ****ing ridiculous

What kins of azzhole thinks he can make the biggest fight in world boxing by telling an A side champion,, "$50million. No talks. No negotiations. You have 24 hours. Take it or leave it"

You have no idea what's going between Hearn and Haymon.

But hey .. you're a fanboy. Fanboys don't need to know what's going on. Fanboys base their opinions on blind loyalty, not facts.

He was asked who he was talking to and if it was both, he would have said so. But whatever suits your narrative.

Is this not an assumption that suits your narrative? I have no narrative. I simply choose not to imply what someone meant by a statement. I just take it at face value. Hearn talked to Haymon and exchanged information. Is that not what he said? He didn't say I'm only talkin to Al. He didn't say I'm only negotiating with Al. He didn't even say he's negotiating with Al.

[Ake-Dawg]

Hearn has said at least twice in IFL TV interviews that he hasn't had, and isn't expecting to have, any talks with Finkel at all about the offer he sent, and that he and Haymon are talking directly with each other.

He said his dad, Barry Hearn, has been talking to Shirley - reminiscing about the good old days - but that the actual negotiations are between him and Haymon.

I will have to look for those. Thanks.
