Contract sent to Wilder with no date or venue

[saintpat]

How can a date and venue be scheduled when they still have to see whether they want Wembley or Cardiff and see what dates are available within those months? It isn't difficult.

Finkel never gave a precise date or venue in his offer either so why is it one rule.for one and one rule for another?

The fight will be in Oct / Nov.. those provisions will be in the contract or Finkel wouldn't have bothered signing and saying Hearn will have it Friday.

As for the poster claiming about WBA / WBO.. the WBO won't say anything as their mandatory isn't even due. They'll just sanction it and if povetkin loses on his WBA shot he won't be their mandatory when it's called. The WBA have been seeking clarity on what's going on all the way throughout this negotiation as they won't allow an exorbitant amount of time for Hearn to get it done and seek exemption as it would open them up to **** from ryabinsky.

They don't want another scenario where they're legally obliged to honour title shots and possibly lose money and a better face for their belt.

Jesus Christ.. why is it so difficult to take everything into account before posting or is it just preference to slag off anyone not on your chosen fighters side?

Well, Hearn DID say he NEVER sends an offer without a contract and that the date and venue had to be in it. Then he does just the opposite.

I think Finkel wants assurance that the Wilder fight is NEXT and not somewhere after another fight. If AJ is taking Povetkin next, Wilder shouldn’t sign a contract unti that is settled.

Is that what you dream of hearn doing to you while you squat?

Carry on Raymond

Anyone else think that was Matchroom trying to put the date in themselves? After a Povetkin fight..

No way that was sent in error & doubt there's any mention or guarantee in the contract that Wilder would be Joshua's next opponent

That's called not negotiating in good faith.

Donkey Wilder still ducking? This is not funny any more, this Alabama Fraud lost his pen out of the sudden.

There is a big difference between an offer and a contract. With an offer you can discuss things later, with a contract everything has to be on paper

Hearn's statement in that interview implied this. He couldn't have attached a date or venue to any contract he sent when he doesn't know when or where it'll take place. Shady stuff imo. Very shady.

Hearn said already they can't do Wembley for that time of year.

Queue'd up at the appropriate time.

Interesting, many inferences and not one single link for proof. Hmmmmm........

As for the point about wba not wanting to lose their belt holder. Exactly, all the chatter about them putting the pressure is coming from fatboy hearns mouth

Looks like it was indeed consistent pressure from Mendoza and not just a bit of chatter from fatboy Hearn.

I think ordering the mandatory at this late stage of wilder negotiations is ludicrous though.
