Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua is Fighting in The UK, The Ball in Wilder's Court

Nope, because in most London pubs there will be at least a few guys that won’t think a second about escalating to violence for a small slights on them, like ‘looking at dem funnee’. I’ve been in pubs all over the world and unless you’re in a tourist place in London you best keep some manners about you because some little ratty fella with nothing better to do will stick a glass in your face, they might not be big on guns in the Uk but there are a lot of short tempered people.

All facts....yep you don’t have to tell me .I wear a scar from being glassed in the face by a girl...lol.... B#tch ,I knocked out her fella and she came to his rescue.

AJ wasn’t slapped with no money because wilder promoter refuse to meet up with Aj promoter to discuss the details of the deal

Two months ago called. They want their post back.

If he has accepted the fight why aren't they announcing it?

Wilder has had an offer for over 2 weeks. He has not made it public so clearly it is not bad.

Stop giving excuses to Wilder. The fight is there. The money is reasonable. The date is there. The location is there. All he has to do now is say yes, and he gets a chance to become king.

What are these road blocks? A side decides the location. A side offers Wilder his biggest ever purse. A side offers Wilder chance to be king.

Anthony 'A Side' Joshua has made 2 career high offers to Wilder to fight in the UK. Wilder said he will fight in the UK. What's the hold up? If it was money don't you think Wilder would be running to the press again?!

I'll tell you what the hold up is. Wilder wants $50m in the US instead of what he has been offered in the UK. He is not worth $50m and the whole world knows that.

What are the terms of this offer that Wilder has had for 2 weeks? I haven't heard anything other than UK in Sept, Nov, or Dec.

If Hearn ducks this and AJ fights Povetkin, I hope Povetkin knocks him out. I think that's highly, highly unlikely, but I'll be hoping for it all the same.
.

It's highly unlikely, but it would be poetic justice at it's finest. How can AJ turn down $50 million guaranteed? Where else is he going to make that kind of money? He'll be set for life, win, lose, or draw.

I'm starting to think he's scared of getting hurt.

Aren't you foolish for being double standards. You want to crucify one and exalt the other when both of them failed in the social media promise.
The paper champ was offered X6 of his regular pay, he declined. A second offer was made which am sure will be about X10 of his pay and they couldn't find their pen.
It's easy to unfit the division on social media. Now is the time and he is no where to be found.

You're making every possible assumption to support your Wilder is at fault narrative.

What were the terms of the second offer? Is it even real?

Why is Wilders silence now construed as hiding whereas when he spoke up he was negotiating in the media and sabotaging progress?

I am tired of all this wilder - AJ arguments.... It's draining.

Who knows?

But Hearn has confirmed it's been on the table for over 2 weeks. If it was unacceptable wouldn't Wilder have rejected it, or used the press to try and get more leverage?

No terms made public to my knowledge. Hearn spoke to IFL a few days ago and discussed this briefly here:

He says there's a second offer with Wilder's team that was made 2 weeks before. They have a choice of dates, but location is definitely UK, although it could be London or Cardiff etc.

The good news is that neither side is trying to negotiate this through the media.

Cool. Thanks. Hopefully it's not a flat fee. I agree with you regarding media negotiation. Maybe Daddy Hearn can close the deal.

Or they could be negotiating without the use of the media.
