Wow! Joshua is scared to death against a fighter that last fought at 214. Joshua would have a 30lb wight advantage. Would be the bigger/stronger fighter with better technique. That Right Hand got him shook. We know UK fighters are some chumps. They always have been.
Forget about the 50 mill. The fight was all set to take place in the UK with Wilder happy about the offer which is why he accepted. All we were waiting for was for him to sign but he took too long.
Who canceled a contract? What are you talking about? You mean this latest contract that Finkle had? Hearn never canceled anything, it was the WBA who said AJ had to make a mandatory. They had already given Hearn over a month extra to get the Wilder fight done but Wilder took too long. So he's the one at fault.
"Forget about the 50 mill."
You'd like me to, but it's what Joshua asked for, and he reneged. The fight was all set to take place in Vegas, and all we were waiting for was Joshua to sign EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID WOULD MAKE THE FIGHT HAPPEN, but for whatever reason he didn't. That's not going to leave my mind anytime soon.
"it was the WBA who said AJ had to make a mandatory."
And we're pretending that this means anything, with all of the mandatory fighters that we've seen take step aside money? We're also pretending that fights get made in a month? Pretty disingenuous stance to take, just to support a fighter. Finkel is on record saying that she sent a response 2 days after receiving the contract, and was waiting on a date and location for the fight, but it never came through, and then the fight got called off completely. So yes, Hearn cancelled after 9 days, using the very poor excuse of handling a mandatory as a way out. Everything is on record, so spin it however you need to. Also remember that all of this happened after Hearn tried to give Wilder LESS than he did Joseph Parker lol
Anything the fight generates - gate, broadcasting rights, sponsorship, PPV (if any). Cotto is a star so he gets a cut of that on top of his guaranteed purses. His fights actually make money, Wilder's don't.
Wilder's fight had a bigger crowd and did a better rating than Cotto's fight. Wilder's tickets were more expensive than Cotto's. Literally everything you're saying is wrong. Where are you getting your information from?
Yes, the top fighters can make more than their guaranteed purses but that's usually reported. It depends on what kind of deal they have with their promoter. It's not about saving on sanctioning fees and taxes. Sanctioning fees are 2%-3% and anything the fighter receives - purses, revenue cuts, bonuses, etc., will get taxed one way or another.
But Haymon fighters pay their promoter a flat fee and often have their own promotional or entertainment company that allows them to pay themselves for the services of fighting. Part of it is definitely about saving on sanctioning fees. Would you rather pay the WBC 3% of $2 million or 3% of $4 million? As for the taxes, would you rather pay the athletic commission a cut of 2 million or a cut of 4 million? It's a no brainer.
Hearn is offering Haymon's guys WAY more than their listed purses and they're all laughing at him saying they're already making more than he's offering. The head of Showtime has also confirmed they're making more than he's offering. The filed purses are completely bogus and everybody in the industry knows it. It's an open secret and has been going on for decades, but Haymon has taken it to another level by minimizing the financial participation of the promoter and maximizing the freedom of the fighter.

Are you lying on purpose ?
Joshua said all along it had to be in the uk
Wilder agreed to this way before the 50m
Why did wilder try to be sly and make it at Vegas ? Why did they then refuse to negotiate and meet Hearn wih a contract
Why did they still for 4 weeks
Why did they then accept hesrns offer 2 days after it was rumoured Joshua signs dfor povetkin after 4 weeks of stalling
Why did they wait 6 days to reply after Hearn sent them a contract ?
Why did they go on espn to say they need another 5 days to send it back with comments
Why did they go public of their stalling so the wba who already have two extensions now demanded the fight ?
They did it to duck Joshua
All wilder had to do was sign the contract and he never
The fact is the fight never happened due to wilder not signing the fight
You are right everything is on record despite Shirley and wilder trying to lie and spin it
You need to have a look on the mirror, what do you get out of lying ?
I smell p*ssy! Is that you Anthony?
I smell p*ssy! Is that you Eddie?
I smell p*ssy! Is that you Barry?
I smell p*ssy! Is that your fans?
Y'all n'ggas is p*ssy!
I'm balling out n'gga now watch me (watch me)
Ain't nothing you can do to stop me (stop me)
Y'all Brits get so emotional (emotional)
You remind me of my b'tch

silly prejudice post, take the emotion out of it it's not that big a deal
got up to about page 20 something had to stop, grown men crying and picking sides when we're not privy to the nitty gritty details. You can literally boil this down to a few things, they're not scared of each other but would both rather fight in their backyards - this is where it all stems from.
