Somebody is lying -
the reality is they sent a deal, later than they said they would, without a date and venue...not stating whether it would be next or not
we all know it
wilder was ready to do this NEXT...aj and hearn were NOT! plain and simple
if you want i can fly over there and help remove your head from hearns bumComment

So basically they want to promote the Povetkin fight on the back of Wilder fight being next and make Wilder fight on DAZN
I expected this from Eddie but AJ is looking like a tool nowComment

Nope.
Hearn sent the contract, then messaged finkel stating he was working on date and venue.
Finkel said OK, but can you confirm we will be AJ's next fight? Hearn said absolutely yes.. confirmed this will be AJ's next fight.
that was before finkel stated he hads the contract and had comments but wanted to wait 5 days before sending those comments.
Now.. until finkel comes out and states he did not have that conversation with hearn, your "point" is moot.
remove your head from your own arse pal.Comment

Pretty hilarious that I said the same exact thing when it came to Ward v GGG. Andre wanted tune up(s) prior to Golovkin fight yet you said Gennady was ducking when wouldn't sign a contract for who knows when down the road?
Some of these same people told GGG to sign the contract when Canelo offered the same type future deal. Amazing how people flip stances when it suites their agenda!
Talk about double standards!
Back to the present; if the fight isn't next then there's no reason to sign a contract unless you think your stock is going to be lowered between now & then. If your stock is rising, then wait to sign until it's the next fight...the deal will always sweeten as the time ripens.Comment

Let's think outside the box and forget what you think I think, or what I think you think. Let's look at it as, these aren't message board posters trying to prove a point. Instead, these are professionals who are either trying to make a fight or avoid it.
So to that end, I'm going to guess that Team Wilder has no interest in accepting any deal Hearn has on the table now. And here are the only two real likely reasons why:
1. They really don't want the fight
2. They offered the bigger money fight with a bigger reach and got turned down, were offered below-market value in return in front of a smaller audience, agreed but got the run around long enough for the fight to be pushed to a later point.
If it's one, they aren't taking whatever deal is currently on the table
If it's two, they aren't taking whatever deal is currently on the table.
The similarities to Mayweather-Pacquiao are startling except the difference here is that the B-side can offer more money.
When Mayweather-Pac fell apart in 2010, Mayweather said, "**** you, if we revisit the negotiation again, you're taking the full drug testing with no compromise and the shorter end of the money stick." And then he was an ******* about the fight for a long time.
Some people think he was ducking. Others think he was furious about how the first negotiation went. Same situation applies here.
So with that in mind, I'm going to guess that Team Wilder takes a hard stance going forward. They'll either:
A. Revisit the $50m US fight and say that's the only deal they accept
B. Rescind that offer entirely which would not surprise me at ALL.
C. Wait a few months to revisit negotiations but take a much harder stance this time.
But as for whatever deal is on the table now? Forget it.Comment
