Comments Thread For: Hearn Provides Update on Joshua vs. Wilder Negotiations

This fight isn't happening unless it's in the UK. That was in Hearn's plans all along, they actually don't need Wilder. I don't think AJ is in as much of a rush as he says to be undisputed champion and they hold most of the leverage here.

wilder is going to win before the fight either way.....rafael already wrote an blurb about how hearns initial offer was a joke......even if it ends up in the UK wilder will now earn more than he was going to prior to his team making the 50 mil offer

anthony johnson cant hide too much longer...the public pressure to get this done is mounting and will continue to....the same way it mounted on golden boy and canelo....

Never seen so much back peddling in my life. Hearn admitting offer was genuine from wilders team. But apparently him and aj now saying its not all about the money. Id believe him more if everything about him and aj had not been all about the money. Stub hub rip off merchants

Hearn is full of shyt. They wanted 50 million and got that offer.
Now they’re worried about the size of the crowd. If you aren’t paying the bill you shouldn’t be worried about it. All you got to worry about is showing up.
Hearn got to come up with a counter offer or just admit they’re scared.
I see they’re doing damage control trying to pretend they want it.

Wilder just needs to realise that if he wants what Joshua has then he needs to fight on his terms. Because like it or not, Joshua is 'the man'.

Suddenly the bytches saying 'its not about money' when Wilder was offered $12.5m and saying no are now saying 'it IS about the money, go to where it is' when Joshua is offered a deal.

Just stfu and stop the contradictions.

The problem with team Wilder is theyre trying to buy a bigger star.

Aj doesnt have to fight Wilder because any fight is an event right now with him. Wilder needs it. Not AJ.

Aj doesnt need the money because his next fight will make him much more money than Wilder regardless.

He’s also got Fury with the comeback and that’s a bigger fight, lets be honest. Hearn also has all that money now so they’re not dragging AJ over with just money. He’s mid career and not looking to cash out right now. Sucks for Wilder but AJ is just such a significantly bigger name than him in the UK that it really makes no sense for AJ.

The fight is an event because of AJ. It’s a big fight only because it’s AJ. Otherwise it’s just a hw title fight. That’s the reality of it

Sooo negotiations have gone nowhere got it.

There is no twisting , you imbecile .

One guy makes 1.5 Million avg . fights . How is someone making closer to ONE Million over riding someone making closer to 20 Million remotely an advantage point for Wilder to bicker over 12.5 Million ? You idiot . lol


Joshua makes 15 / 20 Million generated cap and against Povetkin expected to make 25 .


How does Wilder make more then 13 Million anyway if Joshua gets 50 ?


Stop doing math , learn to read first .......then you will know what your talking about . lol

Someone would think they are getting poorer with 1.5 million. HAHAHA
The one putting up the money has the right to lead things as Hearn himself says he can't generate this type of money. This is well known and we are getting tired to repeat it to you.
Again, this more about mindset than money, having the upperhand since the negotiations helps in the mindgames going in the fight. By the way, team Wilder know their market, no way he is getting less in their approach.
Anyway, why am I trying to apply logic to you? You should learn to think first, than maybe you will have a chance

This people saying that Joshua doesn't need Wilder are pitiful. From a boxing fan perspective we should be pushing for this fight to happen, create the demand and they will need to make it happen. From a fighter perspective Joshua needs Wilder, as a win would put his name in history as the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the 4 belts era. The only one who doesn't need Wilder is Hearn as he will get more money without him
