"That's why Deontay took well below market value because he wants to be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world."

End of fkn story really you morons. Just stfu

Dam I use to like him but now Anthony Joshua and his team are officially on my $h!t list smdh

They’re the only ones producing paperwork for actual fights instead of fantasy BS, Wilder only got himself to blame.

But they agreed to the 15 million so let's stop talking about the 50mil.

Why didn't they sign or come back quickly with answers?

The same reason why it took a week for Hearn to send the contract even though he says it was an offer they had weeks before. Then it took him three days to get back to their questions. It's the bureaucratic way.

You bent over the wrong way!

Eddie took umbrage.

[scarybodyshot]

EXACTLY! you should have been bending over forwards sucking AJ off for giving Wilder is highest payday by more than 10 fold!

I kind of knew it was going to hell when they turned down $50million. Im sure there are light weights the would fight a killer at welterweight if they were offered that kind of money. No one turns down $50million if they want to fight. and how can you not include a date and venue in the contract? those are pretty dam important details!

they are but in this case there are only 2 realistic venues and which one is available depends on the date. The venue is less important. It's going to be Cardiff or London. The date? I'm guessing one wasn't nailed down but probably a choice was offered. Still, this is all about marinating far as I can see. Wilder is playing his part on social media and that will draw in some of the fans turned on by ****fests such as the fake McGregor/Mayweather tour.

Who cares? I'm sure Joshua will be crying in his sleep. We are hearing the blame game from both sides and fans are choosing who to believe based on which fighter they like best which is total BS. Nobody here should be pretending like they know who's lying and who isn't because you don't know. It doesn't matter if a timeline of events is cataloged, all that does is track the chronology of public statements by both sides regarding the status of negotiations. They are telling the public what they want to tell them. If anyone thinks this definitively determines the exact specifics of the negotiations and who is clearly to blame for this fight not happening, they are either very naive, bias or just plain delusional.

Have you got short term memory that 50 million offer was BS. Wilders team refused to meet hearn, sent a contract or put money in escrow till AJ publiclly agreed. Imagine AJ agreed then finds out after 50 million over three fights or some BS. Use your brain

you can always agree conditional to money being shown in escrow by certain date and then if it isn't you withdraw your agreement ... but this is all about Eddie controlling and marinating

[kingstip9]

Any unbiased person knows Eddie Hearn does not want Joshua to face wilder in his next fight.

I have no faith fron guys who let their guy face one good opponent his entire 40 fight career over the guy who has fought better competition in half the amount of fights. Gee...
