Comments Thread For: Hearn: At This Stage, I Believe Wilder Does NOT Want Joshua Fight!

[Sid-Knee]

Cause it made Joshua look weak when he turned down the $50 million he asked for and his own promoter confirmed the money is real.
Honestly, there shouldn't of even been a counteroffer to that. He was offered what he asked for so why even counteroffer??? He should of stuck to his word and signed on the dotted line! That's what being a man is all about! It's sad that not too many guys honor their word these days...

Joshua wanted the fight in the UK, the money was available if it happened there. So Hearn made a new offer... an offer Wilder and his side agreed to. That's the hold up on this fight. Going on about the 50 mill is just pointless at this time.

It actually looks like you're more interested in the amount of money they are going to make than the actual fight happening. And you call yourself a fan?

Then why did they sent the contract more than a week late once Wilder had agreed to all their terms? It seems to me that they didn't want the fight.

Also to your point that Wilder called Joshua a steroid cheat. He never called him such. He only said that it has been alleged that Anthony was a juicer based on unsubstantiated rumors. He had no hard concrete evidence to prove that claim.

Therefore, it was just an opinion and not fact.

The only things that matters right now is that they have the contract. The hold up isn't sending the contract over, it's actually waiting for Wilder to sign. So please stop with all the nonsense.

Oh really? How long did it take BS to put out that Wilder's side received the contract?

Notice that you still didn't answer the question.

The story on Friday was that Finkell was waiting on the answers on two specific questions.

When we're those questions answered?

[Sid-Knee]

the first thing the police do is look for a motive

then opportunity, etc.....

that process is a logical sequence of events

it is obvious who will benefit the most from delaying that fight

but yea, best I log on to check how the casuals have decided to see things lol

If Wilder signs the contract, then Hearn is bound to honour it. If he doesn't, he can be sued. So stop trying to be intelligent, you fail on every level.

Lol well played

Hey, smart arse. You do know that they can sign the contract and call Hearn's bluff don't you? If Wilder signs, Hearn has to honour the contract otherwise he can be sued. So it wasn't well played at all.

Hearn said on his twitter that he answered them. If he didn't, wouldn't Finkle come out and say so just like he did all the other times?

Let's be honest here, both sides are posturing and marinating this fight intentionally. In a time where boxers are being paid upwards of a $100 mil for a mega fight these guys are going to make sure they squeeze everything possible out of this fight. I'm sure both sides know the financial potential the fight presents but I'm sure they're also aware of the potential to make it even bigger.

Both guys can afford to fight a couple more times if not a few until they actually meet. Till then both sides whether it be the promoters or fighters themselves will keep on fueling the hype. The he said she said rhetoric will continue to keep the fans talking while simultaneously making the fight a bigger deal. By the time they sign off on it it will be because it reached its fever pitch and they'll cash in while the iron is hot. Bet on it. Boxing is a business more than a sport so it'll happen but when the money is right.

Hearn lies more than Trump

[juggernaut666]

Why would Wilder not want the fight? That's ridiculous.

He is trying to prolong it to a 2019 fight .

This ensures him of more money and he thinks Breazeale is easy .

Wilder knows a two fight deal ensures him of 30 Million ,if he doesn't sign you would have to ask why he likes 1.4 Million $ fights !
