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

[Smash]

wilder has said he would go to the uk to fight joshua so why doesnt he sign? Whats the split? maybe the split is not right for him

[wrecksracer]

Joshua knows that all he needs to do is knock Wilder off balance for a second to win by knockout at home. Who needs 50 million anyway?

Good to see you're taking this with a sense of perspective.

I'm always open to a well balanced, reasonable argument. So now I'm going to get a sharp knife from my kitchen and slash my wrists with it.

Goodbye everybody, been nice talking **** with you ...

I still can’t figure out why AJ doesn’t wanna fight Wilder in front of 12K in Vegas for $50M+. But he’s cool with fighting Big Baby in front of 12K in NYC for probably about 5x less.

Has Hearn said anything about a revised offer being made to Wilder? If it's still a flat fee then there's no chance of a fight being made in my view. If there's a reasonable percentage on the table the chances are the dispute could be more about the return leg percentages in the US. That looks to be the more lucrative fight, depending on how the first one goes.

With as sloppy and amateurish as Wilder looks at times. I think it’s about a 50% chance Floyd would come outta retirement and fight Deontay in a HS gymnasium in Tuscaloosa for a $50M guarantee. Team AJ on some other ****.

So basically both fighters want home advantage. Cool both ducking then.

Looking back I wish Wlad beat Joshua now. Wlad would have had to win the rematch too, but you know Wlad would have definitely fought Wilder without hesitation. Joshua seems to not want the fight that bad & instead wants to just keep fighting guys he’s likely going to beat for easy paydays. It’s a shame this is how boxing is these days.

Wait, why can't they fight in a neutral place? They are both African decent. . Let's help the economies in one of the Africa countries . Nigeria, Mali, Uganda, Congo, South Africa or etc. **** they can fight in Bermuda lol.

It's amazing how that PR stunt just changed the game! Now it's a "very serious offer, but not life-changing." It's history now, and I'll never let AJ fans forget that their boy turned down $50 million dollars to fight Povetkin! Give Wilder 40% of everything, and let's do this! Kell Brook vs. Errol Spence Jr. 2.0! Tank Davis vs. Liam Walsh 2.0!

I wouldn't get too excited about Liam Walsh. Not even people in the UK had a clue who he was. Hardcore boxing fans perhaps because he has one credible UK name on his record, but not even most boxing fans would know him.

He got fed to Davis pure and simple.
