Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua-Povetkin Deal Close, Wilder's Time Running Out

As if no one knew it would come to this months ago!

Basically wilder was offered a purse as big as all his 7 world title defences combined.....and go's back to 1.8 million dollar defence instead of trying to create a legacy.
What a bum squad

[MDPopescu]

Boycott Joshua-PEDvetkin.

Where?... In the U.S. maybe...

Global.....

Well what the hell is the offer ? How much has made previously is completely irrelevant. Wilder probably would have made between 30 and 40 million here in the US if AJ would have accepted. So while AJ is willing to take a pay cut to fight in the U.K. maybe wilder is not willing to take a pay cut knowing he can make more in the US . By the way I guarantee Wilder makes more than 2 million on his next fight.

that says it all my man.

[Combat Talk Radio]

Boycott Joshua-PEDvetkin.

Look at the upside. We'll finally get to see who's got the best stuff for enhancing performance.

Don't all big fights take a similar path.Its the only proper fight at HW out there.Which ever side your with , they are both acting like divas for the reasons so far stated.
The fight is now .If not, one could spoil it by getting beat or looking bad,imagine where that would take the negotiations!

To imagine that the only good fighter on both their records is touching fifty is amazing.....

Don't forget guys the promoters will always have another meal ticket ......take it whilst its hot but demand (as much as I hate to say it) a rematch clause with the winner entitled to equal the share as the other got.

Hearn stand aside and look after your old man ....the business side works itself .....this is for boxing, for the fans!

Team Wilder plan in full effect ...if his ridiculous 40% isnt met .


1 . Stall negotiations ( accomplished )

2 . Let the clock run out where Joshua has to make Povetkin deal. ( in the works )


3 .His idiot fanbase will back him up .

4. They will still cry about it and blame Hearn ..lol

But what nonsense do you say? Joshua was the one who said that he would be guaranteed 50 million and he signed ..... will he guarantee 50 million with the potential to earn 100 million and then start to retreat? Eddie Hearn knows that Wilder knocks Joshua's head off ... if he asked for 50 million it was because he thought he could not give them, but when he saw that it was real then he comes with the excuse that he wants the fight in the UK .... because he simply knows that he will not hold Wilder's hands ... what does Joshua think? That after they're going to give him that fortune for fighting too he's going to dictate the guidelines? With the good fortune they are going to pay, it is enough to know that side A is here, that they come to the US and try to survive what they can against Wilder ... and they will not have to fight again ... but as Hearn does not want to lose the only decent thing in his stable, because they put those obstacles to avoid confronting Wilder ... that's the reality and the fans of Joshua know it even if they do not want to accept it !
