Comments Thread For: WBA Gives Joshua 24 Hours to Close Deal for Povetkin Fight

True. At least we agree Hearn is behind this. They're running from an ass whooping.

Did Hearn force Wilder to take 4 weeks to decide as well? Hahahahaha

Cult of America is in full flow. Loons.

[Sid-Knee]

Ha!.. you know why!!! Doomsday Wilder will make Superman AJ **** on himself in front of 90,000!! Can you imagine 90,000 fans looking at their superhero leaving the ring like Spilka?? Lol

Yeah, because AJ and Spilka are on the same level. Spilka is another bum that Deontay struggled with. He can't stop struggling against bums can he? Hahahahaha.

Joshua is going to bury that coward when he gets his hands on him. That's if Wilder can find his pen.

Eddie won this round. He will have the perfect excuse to duck Wilder next with the IBF. He is praying that Miller win over Pulev. It will take more than a year to make the fight. It would be better if Hearn didn't try to save face with that low-ball

You mean the "low-ball" that Wilder accepted? The offer he took 4 weeks to accept? That one? Hahahahaha.


You loons will say any old mad **** to try and blame Hearn when it was obvious from the start that this was Wilder's plan all along. Take their time and force the mandatory so he can get back to fighting bums. Just like he has done his whole career.

Exactly, unifications trump mandatories. Hearn very obviously told the WBA to give them another week to duck Wilder. AJ needs to sign with Haymon or Golden Boy. Hearn has pretty much destroyed his reputation as a take on all comers champion

Hearn had already got the WBA to give him an extra month in the hope of getting the Wilder fight done. Not his fault Wilder wouldn't sign.


Wilder is the b*tch in all of this. It's clear. I called it from the start.

[Sid-Knee]

So accepting terms of a flat fee offer and then promising to sign contract once a couple of tweaks are made is playing games? Offering AJ $50M plus upside was playing games?

What exactly is on the surface? I mean sure, if AJ loses, we all lose, but is AJ obligated to fight Povetkin? Is the WBA belt THAT important? Is the WBA really gonna strip him if AJ shows them a signed contract within 24 hours?

But AJ can't show them a signed contract in 24 hours can he? It won't be over here until Friday. And even then, it won't be signed. Hearn is going to have to draw up another contract to satisfy Finkle with the contract changes.

The WBA already gave an extra month to Hearn to try and work something out with Wilder. They can't keep doing that when it's obvious Wilder doesn't want the fight. He's forgot his pen you see. Haha.

COWARD!!!!!

What's your take on the timing of the WBA's deadline for a Povetkin deal. You think it was coincidence that the order came hours after Team Wilder publicly stated that they will sign the contract once the two requested modifications were made.

Do you think Wilder should have signed a contract with no fight date? Is it possible that the contract didn't have explicit language stipulating that Joshua next fight would be against Wilder?

Who do you think benefits most from this turn of events? Do you really think Wilder would give up $13M to avoid Joshua? If that contract was clean and free of poison pills, doesn't he risk losing out on all that money in the event that Povetkin pulls off a huge upset?

[Sid-Knee]

So exactly what were the "games" that Team Wilder played? Negotiating a poor offer (flat fee for a unification/undisputed fight)?

You keep repeating the same thing but haven't provided any reasoning or facts behind it. Make an attempt to have your "playing games" sound like more than just an opinion you pulled out of your backside because you dislike Wilder.

Yeah, over 15 mill is a poor offer to someone who makes about 1.5 mill a fight and can't even sell tickets. Poor Deontay. He should be at least making about 40 mill. Because he's worth it. Hahahaha


Well, if you're a 24 carrot idiot you'd think he's worth it. Wilder is a 2 bit nobody that should be thankful he's being offered any more than 4 mill. Because even that's above what he's really worth.

Did Hearn force Wilder to take 4 weeks to decide as well? Hahahahaha

Cult of America is in full flow. Loons.

Did they tell Hearn to not put the venue or date in the contract?

[Ake-Dawg]

But AJ can't show them a signed contract in 24 hours can he? It won't be over here until Friday. And even then, it won't be signed. Hearn is going to have to draw up another contract to satisfy Finkle with the contract changes.

Why can't he? It doesn't take hours to get on a computer and make edits to a .pdf or word document. And Winkel said "by" Friday not "on" Friday. Meaning after you get the revised document to me, I will have it signed and hard copy on your desk "by June 29". It definitely could be before then. Particularly in light of the WBA's deadline.

Good fight... Hopefully Wilder fight after this... No ducking anymore!
