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

[Sid-Knee]

u see how hearn is given a pass for everything? How was he in contact with team wilder daily but wilder took 4 weeks to reply? Why is that not a contradiction to you? Lol come on man, IF HE SENT IT 4 DAYS EARLIER as he promised WE WOULDNT BE AT A 24 HOUR DEADLINE (which that's utter bs in itself from the WBA)

If you can't see the difference between 4 weeks and a few days then i really don't know what to say.

I've already answered this.

The venue would have been in Cardiff. The fight would have been at the end of this year. You know, like Eddie said it would. He's been talking about it enough.

So why not put it in the contract then? And those are two fair questions for Finkel to have. No clue if those were the only questions he had, but seemed like the contract was heading right back to Hearn by the end of the week. Surely the WBA could have been given that notice and could have extended their deadline. Trust me, they weren't going to be the reason a potential 80-100 million fight wasn't going to take place....I mean the sanctioning fees they would have gotten from this fight compared to any other is pretty damn big.

As Belew said Wilder lost his balls.
The guy had an iron tight contract in front of him giving him the chance to fight for every recognised belt in the HW division.

To get the Haye fight he said he agreed to the worst terms he ever had. He conceded on everything by a lot. Reason for that was he didn't care. He knew the chance to be in the ring with someone like Haye gave him the opportunity to make a name for himself. And if he won he would get to determine what the details were for the rematch. That was the incentive.
Wilders incentive should have been to take the chance to fight for every belt there is. To walk through fire and hell to do so. To go down in history as one of the best.

He chickened out. He didn't sign the deal. And to blame it all on not knowing the venue is the biggest pile of crap there ever was. As Belew said if you gave me that chance I'd do it for free in your actual back garden wearing a chicken suit if you wanted me to. But expect you to do the same in the rematch when I win.
Wilder blew it. One KO and it's all over.

So what the contract arrived a few days late. It happens. It's not like he did a Wilder and waited 4 weeks. Now that was a problem.

Do you think Hearn is stuck to his computer waiting for a E-mail that may not even come? Hearn has other business to attend to with other fighters on his roster.

You mean an email that's direct to his mobile phone?

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.

The 12.5 million offer, you know or your memory is this short? Wilder accepted the 15.5 million revised offer, after 4 weeks of negotiation on the 15 million offer. Accepting a flat fee just goes to show how much Wilder wants this fight. Waiting for the WBA to call the mandatory was actually Hearns plan all along. It's just fishy that WBA is enforcing this fight knowing their historic

Are you missing some vital pieces or something? Hearn had the WBA breathing down his neck so had to get a move on. If Hearn would have gone after the venue that would have taken a week or more to sort out. Hearn didn't have that time as you can see. The deadline is up. So Hearn did the right thing.

Don't tell me Wilder didn't sign because the date and venue wasn't sorted. Loads of fights are sealed before the date and venue are taken care of. Wilder just didn't want the fight. Point blank. He's just using a bull**** excuse to force Joshua into the Povetkin fight.


Tell me why it's wrong not to have the date and venue in the contract when they clearly know they will have that information in no more than 2 weeks? You don't fail to sign a fight of this magnitude when you've done nothing but shout your mouth off for about a year claiming you're being avoided and that you're the most dangerous fighter in the heavyweight division. It's bull****. Wilder never wanted it in the first place. I knew they were going to do this. I called it from the start.

Wait, so why does Hearn need two weeks to get the venue locked up? How did he lock up the venue in 2019 so quickly? And why shouldn't a fighter want to know when and where he is fighting? Especially of this magnitude? What does Wilder get out of Joshua fighting Povetkin? Do you think he wants Joshua to lose to Povetkin so his career best purse will go down the drain? I'm sure he is totally looking forward to fighting a guy who already tested positive against him the first time for 20% of what he would receive in the Joshua fight!!!

And why exactly would the B-side not want his biggest fight by a large margin? Use your head buddy, the B-sides usually don't delay the process.

And you know that for a fact do you?

And even if it is, Hearn must have a **** load of E-mails to get through so he can't always be there the second one does come through.

Yeah, getting over 15 mill really showed how much Wilder wanted the fight. I mean, he gets that for every other fight so he really got a bad deal didn't he. Haha.

For a 2 bit nobody that earns 1.5 mill a fight this is a god send. Nothing should stand in his way to get this fight made. But guess what, he didn't sign.

Povetkin might spoil the party! I wonder if joshua would go to Russia.. lol. That's what world champions do.. but we all know that AJ is the U.K national champion.. and will never fight outside of the u.k! Lmao
