Comments Thread For: Hearn: We'll See if Wilder's 'Real' When He Gets Joshua Contract

[MDPopescu]

So Wilder has been sitting on the offer for 4 weeks? Guess he realised he can't plant his feet forever if he wants a decent pay cheque.... lets hope they can sort this out in the small timeframe they have left now, this could have been done 4 weeks ago and had a proper build-up, either way, if it's late September then they both have 12 week+ camps, no excuses.

... well, I've read this a few days back: "IF it [the Wilder fight] is before Povetkin, then it runs on October/November, but we've made a lot of progress with Povetkin as well. This has all come as a bit of a shock to us really that finally he's come back to us"...

Me either. If Wilder already accepted the terms then what else is there to see if he is serious about? Seems like Hearn may try to add some other crap on there. Or maybe he thinks Wilder agreed and just won't sign the contract with the terms he already agreed to

I don't think Hearn wants the fight. He definitely didn't want it in the USA. And from the sounds of it, he doesn't want it period.

I also think he doesn't have a choice. I think. I wonder how this impacts negotiations for re-signing Joshua.

Not sure why that notion is so laughable? Verbally agreeing to something and actually signing a contract confirming it are two totally different things.

Case in point: Joshua said 50mil and he'll sign and that didn't happen.

This is all all ready sorted. Hearn even said they would only line up Wilder after Povetkin if he agree'd term before Povetkin to sort the contract. AJ is fighting Povetkin as far as euro insiders are going ergo they already had this sorted before anyone made an announcement. It's all PR.

You are infinitely ******ed.

Hearn isn't sure if Wilder is serious because up until now all negotiation has been in private.

Why the hell would Wilder then come out in public and say yes to a 4 week old offer when he could have done it in private with communication streams flowing?

PR? In that case Hearn is right to wonder whether he's serious and whether he will throw another curve ball in, especially when we know a deal with Povetkin for mandatory is almost secured.

Man, checked to see who quoted me and saw your screenname. I stopped reading right there

guarantee there's some BS in that contract that's going to create another joshua road block. Wilder keeps pulling their punk card time after time.

The build up was to take place at the Joshua vs Parker fight.

Wilder REFUSED to be a payed commentator and he and is entire team have been stalling since , even wasting weeks with their own counter offer with no communication and cancelled meetings over a month ago.

This fight could have had a fight date already and team Wilder KNOW it , its Hearns fault doe . lol

[Straightener]

Hearn is starting to grip my s**t now

Wilder agreed to terms get him a contract to sign ASAP and let’s get this fight going !

This whole build up has been a complete shambles if it doesn’t get signed after all the nonsense there’s gonna be a lot of pizzed off people !!

[CLUE]

Wait a second I thought this is not how things work? Only sending a contract AFTER Wilder agreed.

Hearn sure plays you guys for the fools that you guys are.
