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

What Wilder wants is a fair deal which would be a better split than Parker got.

You suck balls much? Wilder loves his fangirls, I'm sure he appreciate you. Any imbecile thinking Wilder will get higher % than Parker is beyond help

These negotiations have eerie similarities of the early May/Pac negotiations. I have a feeling we are in for a long, uncomfortable ride.

SHUT up punk!!!!

Bytch you are a coward, tell your master Deontay to grow some balls and sign the contract, you pathetic cucksucker will do anything to protect Wilder from this fight, pathetic

People acting like Povetkin is an easy fight, he’d be a greater quality opponent than anyone Wilder has fought.

Povetkin got knocked down by David Price last fight (the ropes caught him so he didn't actually hit the mat, but it was scored a knockdown). Joshua will make quick work of him, as would Wilder.

It is all about RISK verses REWARD. Miller is low risk, low reward. Wilder is big risk, big reward. The risk reward factor figures into Wilder's demands as well.

The thing is it’s not even low reward.

AJ made over 20mil vs Parker. :/ and like 15 vs Takam ffs.

Dude is making a LOT of money to the point that he’s in a position to deny or accept anything he wants at this point. You’re not going to entice him with money anymore. That’s what people don’t realize. I like wilder as much as the next guy but this is business. Think he’s going to be sad making 15-20-25 usd fighting some no hoper? Has Wilder’s entire career earnings even reached the sum of just one AJ fight?

It’s not about being a fan of someone or not, it’s about being realistic. People acting like AJ is going to make pennies for taking it to the UK are delusional. In his late 20s making over 15 mil per fight with randoms? Yeah...good luck getting him to go anywhere.

Only way it happens is if Canelo moved up to HW. Thats it.

It's no secret that Hearn wants to take over world boxing with a similar platform as to what he has now.Only trouble here is that all tumbles if Wilder lays one on the jaw and you can see that by how he's negotiating ....no surprise, why wouldn't he but his ambitions and greed out weigh what the fans should have...no surprise.

Nobody wants to see anybody but these two in the ring next ....apart from Hearn.

Bring on AJ vs Povetkin. #1 and #2 at Heavyweight, both good fighters and actual skills.

I could understand Team Joshua wanting the fight in the U.K., but that “50m” and I would sign tomorrow really did him in, now he can turn around and say I have build this and that, which is understandable but he needs to be aware of he says sometimes. Because he is the A-side anything he says would be taken into account over the B-side.

Both are looking for home advantage in this fight and I can understand why, no way would Hearn allow him with 3 belts to go over to America, just like Wilder isn’t going to come over here, if he was going to come over here then he would have with that 12.5m offer.

Aj is just gonna end up fighting Fury if he looks even remotely okay which is a much bigger fight.

Wilder has less leverage than GGG. GGG at least fought and didn’t lose to Canelo...and even then his demand is on some “wtf” level. Wilder trying to get AJ out of the UK is probably impossible unless he fights and beats him first. I love both these guys but Wilder is so far behind that’s he’s more of a C-side here. He’s not even the third biggest name at HW right now. It’s Aj, a distant second semi retired/crazy fat Gypsy, and even Bellew probably has more clout than Wilder at this point.

Wilder is the odd man out and doesnt have the backing/fanbase to make up for it. He’s not earning as much, being watched by as many, or even drawing live crowds if that caliber nor does he have the big names wins on his resume.

Dont hate the player hate the game here. Wilder will go the Uk. He doesnt strike me as the kind to hold up a fight like this if it reaches an impasse

Wilder fights in the UK and KOs Joshua. His nest fight is Fury and he KOs Fury as well. Wilder may be the "C" side but that is only from a financial perspective. He is he "A" side when it comes to who is really the most dangerous.
