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

[Phenom]

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

We did hear about that original 12.5M offer from AJ and Hearn before Finkel made it public

Remember AJ saying he would've grabbed it with both hands if he got that offer

[Noelanthony]

But I castigated him doe....

😂😂😂😂.... is that a statement or a question? You are both intelligent guys fighting for different teams

[SN!PER]

Option A: Eddie accepts our offer and we make the fight.

Option B: I smash Eddie's face in for wasting my time.

Either way, I'm a happy man.

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

Unless I misunderstood. You said you’re don’t think anyone would guarantee AJ $50M. And by all accounts, the $50M guarantee appears to be legit. AJ has simply moved the bar again. Now the fight being in the U.K. is more important than the $50M guarantee he asked for.

And for the record, I think the $50M guarantee is the greatest bluff in boxing, if not sports history. Because you have two unknown commodities in teems of US PPV depending on a lot of PPV sales for revenue. So it’s very possible that Wilder could damn near be taking that fight for free once AJ gets his guarantee and his investors get their cuts. I think the offer was legit. But I think Wilder made the offer fully expecting AJ not to accept. Mostly to shed light on who’s really keeping the fight from happening.

Isn't it AJ *****ing out since he said he'd sign tomorrow if offered 50 million and now he's refusing to keep his word?

Yea, it's sad. I thought Joshua was confident. He can come over to fight Big Baby, but not Wilder for 50 million?

Ali, Liston, Frazier, Holmes LLewis, MTyson, even the Klitcshko brothers would all have hustled their behinds wherever, and cashed that check. Joshua is acting like Canelo ... trying to stack the deck with that "A side" bs ... it's scared behavior ... trying to stack home deck as if that is gonna guarantee a win. If I were Wilder I'd say later ... anyone that passes on 50 mil ... go fight whoever for a lot less. Even for Joshua it'll take ten fights to get that money without Wilder. He fought a chump champ in Parker and what did he make?

If they wanted the fight in England they should have made a proper offer!!

Wilder may not get the huge payday either, but his team rose up and made a championship offer, proper for a fight of this magnitude. That's all he can do.

On to the Next Wilder!

So when Eddie first got the $50M offer, he demanded to know proof of funds (from his own words, he got that) and had to know DATE and VENUE.

Said he had to have a complete contract with all those details. Now he wants Wilder to accept his terms this week. Has he provided a contract? He said like a week ago he was considering three venues — has he picked one? Has he specified a date? Shown proof of funds? Every detail?

Give me 50 millionand Ill sign the contract. - AJ
/thread

[Reverb]

In what business do people actually choose to make LESS money when they can make more?

Think about it - none of it means he earns less. Some people here act like the 50 million is the be all and end all.
Wilder ain't going anywhere, Wilder will be there when Joshua wants the fight. And Joshua will have it on his own terms.
Anyway I said before. Joshua is fighting Povetkin and Wilder is fighting Brezeale. Both sides have said as much. Maybe later this year, more likely sometime next year Joshua Wilder happens.

[Straightener]

What happens if Wilder takes Joshua's straps, especially if he does it with a dramatic KO? Then other than a rematch Joshua is in a bit of a predicament isn't he? If he loses the rematch then his big money days are behind him. All of this is certainly in the mind of Hearn.

Not really is he

He could fight fury for a massive payday . Probably bigger than what he will get vs wilder

[lfc19titles]

**** sake wilder

Sign to fight already
