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

[Boksfan]

Just because the offer may have had clauses that Hearn "couldn't" accept, doesn't make the offer any less legit. It's not up to other fighters to protect Joshua's sponsorship deals and handshake agreements with vendors etc.




Please tell you understand that Hearn was low-balling his total revenue projection to make the flat fee seem attractive.



All of those things are par for the course. There are very few rules in business. Besides, Hearn basically said the primary reason why he didn't verbally accept the deal was because he didn't want to look like a "schmuck" if he backed out due to a deal point he just couldn't accept. Little did we know that that deal point was having the fight in the U.S.





That's not that unacceptable considering Wilder would have a) won the fight and got the belts b) now be drawing more U.S/UK revenue after having won the first fight.

You are saying Wilder should get 60% of the split? You must be smoking crack

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.

Anthony Joshua = Liam Walsh .. now that's funny!

You're a coward just like your daddy Anthony Johnson.

About Juice is scared of coming to Vegas because he wont be able to sneak in his steroids and needles.

His last two fights have been absolute dog**** but you probably jizzed yourself watching those borefests.

remember the $50 million doesn't exist.. never forget.

Bytches like you dedicate their lives to suck cucks of your masters, no matter what you say you'll always be a fangirl sucking cucks

Sounds like a legit offer to me*















*me stands here for a fanboy of Deontay Wilder.

[kafkod]

difference is that las vegas is the more neutral venue for a big fight, and that it's where the money is. one side is being less reasonable than the other. given what i've told you about the neutrality and the revenue, who do you think it is?

Please mate, stop saying that. The 2 most flagrant examples of corruption in major title fights I've ever seen - Byrd's GGG/Canelo scorecard and Ward's tripple nutshot KO of Kovalev, both happened in Vegas rings only last year.

And no, neither was remotely comparable to AJ, who wasn't in any trouble at all at the time, going back to his corner to get his glove retaped without an official time-out being called by the ref.

It too generous doe.

[Ake-Dawg]

A legit but unacceptable offer is just that.
The James Braddock 10% will never be forgotten. People don't just jump at any offer right?

I think there is a wide line between legit an unacceptable. Unacceptable to one fighter may be perfectly acceptable and preferable to another. Doesn't make it any less legit.

As I said before, it is not a promoter's responsibility to know and subsequently work around another fighters contractual obligations.

I sincerely hope that you didn't take the time to type all of that. It's a level of hyperbole and lunacy rarely posted on NSB by posters who are not considered professional trolls.

Dude, it is what it is. Joshua would rather fight at home where his energy is bound to be different and the crowd can will him to get off the canvas if necessary. Nothing wrong with that. It's the Joshua fans who posted all that bs who should be embarrassed.

I agree. It's a promoter's job to make the most out of the deal that they can, for their fighter and themselves in the process. A genuine offer may still be a con job, Italy simply about getting the most they can and getting it signed off.
