Comments Thread For: Hearn: One Thing is Certain - Joshua Wants Wilder Next!

[Kris Silver]

I've backed Hearn and Aj throughout alot of this debacle but not so much here.

They've alluded to the fight and fights taking place where they make the most money.

Wilder is the biggest American HW name, why not use that and lift his own global recognition by beating him there? It earns more aswell.

I can only imagine Rob McCracken his trainer and or others are pushing for it to be in the UK which the article infers.

Poor show guys. Hopefully it still gets made in the next year.

Lol.. no one believes you anymore eddie.. no more lies, no more ducking, no more hiding, no more excuses! AJ says he's willing to go to hell and back.. but which hell? The devil is in the details? Lol.. the details are about which devils it is.. if its the devil from Tuscaloosa.. (wilder), hell no! If the devil is from Brooklyn (miller) hes ready to come to America! Five finger discount Eddie an the disco sausage gang is not trying to walk thru the valley of the death! Not for 50 million! Hell no.. he's not trying to sell his soul.. or belts.. lol. He owes it to his fans.. wtf? Most of your fans want you to get paid.. most of your fans dont like your promoter.. that fool gets booed everytime he gets in the ring.. go to the wizard and get a heart, courage an a can of oil for head movement! All that shyte you got your UK hardcore fans believing about wilder will come to an abrupt end when that right hand pushes your mouthpiece and big ass chicklic teeth in the back of your throat! WAR WILDER!!! WAR America!!

this fight aint happening next

Facing facts, is that AJ doesn't need to fight in the US anytime soon and despite us all wanting it he doesn't need to fight Wilder soon. He can get by beating the guys in the top 10 making good money for doing it in the UK. A lot of the American's don't like it, and prob won't - why be in a rush to go over there? I wouldn't be surprised if someone in his team was thinking along these lines.

That being said, I do believe he wants the fight.

Hearn has been repeating the same thing for 2 weeks now, get this done or stop with the negative positive updates.

It’s funny how when the 50 million offer was offered, at first hearn and all the AJ trolls thought it was PR, then they wanted the money upfront and proof of funds, now that wilder has shown them the money, the trolls are saying well AJ doesn’t need wilder. They are right , I mean what fighter wants to be unified champ, cement their legacy and make 50 million. Not one that I can think of . LOL

[Fabes88]

Is he not shying away from the challenge of beating Wilder in the US?

That’s a fair point and I can see why people would nitpick at that but as the a side he should be dictating where the fight takes place.

Wilder is a serious challenge no matter where the fight happens, especially in your 22nd fight. Bear in mind wilder was fighting guys who don’t even have a Wikipedia page at that stage of his career. Aj has collected three of the major belts in 20 fights, he doesn’t get the credit he deserves I think he’s earned the right to choose where the fight takes place.

Don’t throw more demands and smoke screen once your first demand is met.... I don’t think ppl have issue with him wanting fight in uk, his promoter should of made a legit offer in first place instead of that flat fee debacle and have his fighter do interview saying he’ll sign next day if he got 50 mil

I smell BS on Hearn’s part.

First, a lowball offer.

Then he rationalizes it by saying the fight is worth only $40 million.

Then Joshua is offered a monstrous $50 million per his own request.

Hearn questions the validity of it.

Then he admits it’s real and negotiations begin.

Then he says it’s a good deal, but it’s up to Joshua whether he wants to fight in the US or UK, knowing they generate about half the amount in the UK.

What’s there to think about?

Hearn can’t control the promotion in the US and he doesn’t want that.

Conclusion: We’re getting the run around. On to Povetkin and Breazeale.

No I’m fine where I am thank you .I am going to F#ck up wilder and I’m doing it in the comfort of my own surroundings. Also this is boxing and let’s say Wilder catches me luckily and puts my lights out .I don’t want to be in the ambulance worrying about my medical insurance. I’ve seen the film ‘Get out ‘and what with Trump in power in the states , nobody is safe.

Yours faithfully
Anthony Joshua
Unified champion and soon to be undisputed

LMFAO! I hear that Jordan Peele is making a sequel to that movie.
