Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Want To Know This Week If Wilder Wants The Fight

[STREET CLEANER]

Hearn again full of contradictions. I don't know how anybody here runs with anything that he says. Basically what he is saying that they only want to fight in the UK and there is no deal.

Never mind that they ask for $50 million and got that plus if the fight is successful they will get more.

They are willing to fight Miller in the US but not Wilder.

Asking if Wilder wants the fight, the real questing if AJ and company wants the fight. They keeping moving the bar higher every time that it is met.

And saying that the offer is not life changing money for AJ, if he wins he will hit the skies. If he loses Wilder's right hand will change his life.

Hearn is saying the discussions are amicable and Wilder understands the situation. That, and the fact that are even still talking now, indicates to me that there is no low balling going on.

It's crazy to see some people still talking about the $12million fixed fee offer. Wilder's side rejected that immediately, and if Hearn was sticking to it the negotiations would have broken down weeks ago.

Finkel did not reject the offer formally so it wasnt right away .


You cannot reject an offer without some form of communication and that was not established until TWO weeks later when Finkel invited Hearn to meet for negotiating then Mr Slick baited him into postponing twice and then cancelling only to hit Hearn with a 50 Million offer with a day to think about it with NO communications . lmao


The 12.5 was a starting point so its not going to get near the 20 Million the lunatic Wilder camp wants but as fans we can only hope Joshua just says the hell with it and just does it so we see the fight. lol


Obviously this fight could have been negotiated and signed already but team Wilder prevented that .

Cop out , this historic unification needs to be in Vegas.
Joshua doesn't really care about the fans he just wants his little mental train to stay on the narrow gauge rails home in England.
It doesn't matter if they get 150k in Wembley it's still only England.

Vegas is historic, he will earn more money too , dare to be great, go to the Lions lair, conquer USA, be a WORLD champion

Otherwise it's not much more than just another Wlad Klit Germany fight really isn't it

You must be one of them half-hybrids I've been reading about ..

I believe it’s called “half man, half amazing”

"They [Wilder's team] made a very strong offer, there's no denying that, but it's not an amount of money that's going to change Anthony's life.

50 million will change just about anyone's life lol hahaha Are you kidding me!!! I knew not to get amped for this fight because it's not happening. Not next anyway, if it does I'll be surprised. How can you turn down 50 million?? That's just crazy, not to mention they were willing to fight Miller in the United States for waaaay less money!! Then Wilders team probably don't wanna get robbed in the UK even though Wilder feels he would get the KO. This is a legit opportunity to be a unified HW Champ if you're Wilder so why not go to the UK. Not to mention he could possibly get Fury next year in 2019. This fight benefits both guys. AJ should be a big enough star to grow his brand even further with a win or even if he were to lose the UK fans will still support him and he's a young guy he can bounce back, Wilder is older he might not recover as easy from a loss.

So what’s the “strong offer” Hearn spoke of in the article? The only offer we know of is the $50M offer.

I'm assuming that its the same offer. I'm not sure what you're getting at.

I had my butler type it.



You're the one arguing that clauses are irrelevant to the legitimacy or otherwise of a deal:



I'm employing hyperbole to illustrate just how incredibly idiotic that viewpoint is. Possibly the most ridiculous argument I've seen here and I've read through the Canelo thread.

Do I need to draw you a picture instead? Try this then. Any agreement needs to be judged on its totality including each and every clause. Otherwise a fighter may be committing financial suicide, signing a deal that precludes further opportunities, compromises his pre-fight preparations or the actual fight itself. If you know boxing history you'll know of examples of each and every one of these things happening to badly advised boxers.



No, that's Eddie Hearn's responsibility and that's precisely what he's done and what you've castigated him for.



I think you first need to brush up on exactly what a clause is in a legally binding document before you worry about others embarassing themselves in public.

Bloody hell, talk about character assassination

[peplz]

(A) Team AJ offers Wilder a take it or leave it $12.5m flat fee (B) Team Wilder counters with a $50m guarantee to AJ if he comes to fight in America (C) Hearn says $50m isn't life-changing money for Team AJ and everyone's waiting to hear Hearn's counter offer to Wilder that'll make him want to fight in the UK...missing anything?

You're missing the part where negotiations don't happen through the media. You're not supposed to hear Hearn's counter offer.

[Noelanthony]

All that bs you typed and it comes down to this....legitimacy and acceptability are mutually exclusive. Simply put, a legit (legally sound, reasonable) offer can be unacceptable due to sponsorship conflicts, date, location, catchweight, etc. Next time try reading comprehension, it goes a long way in this world. Never once said a clause was irrelevant.

Listen...don't get your posters mixed up. I haven't castigated Hearn for operating in his fighters/pockets best interest. I was castigating the Joshua fans who can't seem to call the situation as it is. I'm now castigating you for your last two posts.

You "little" guys get your panties in a wad trying to prove a point and argue and can't even keep the story line straight. DO BETTER.

That was a gallant effort but his post was too potent. He hit you with too many Hayemakers although you did land a strong jab to his nasal
