      Hearn is the Trump of Prizefighting. He's a pathological manipulator and all about business. There was NEVER any devoted desire to risk AJ's empire for a fight with a one punch wrecking ball. Why would he when he'll make as much facing a Potemkin, Price or Miller?
      They're banking on Wilder losing to a B list guy and then shout "We Told You He Was Nothing." I feel for Wilder. He was outsmarted and will have to earn everything the harder way, not unlike Larry Holmes.

        Despite a public admission from big Hearn (you know, the guy who actually owns Matchroom), there's still people trying to figure out what's going on lol It's plain to see now.

        We're on the marination train. I hoped for a different outcome but whatever. That's boxing and honestly it's good business.

        Insiders from the US were very skeptical of Wilder's team's decisions in all of this. Kevin Iole at Yahoo Sports has a write-up on it. Wilder's camp was definitely trying to get him to take the $15 million, but there was some backlash from industry insiders who felt like they'd be leaving way too much money on the table with this fight if it were to happen now.

        We don't know all of the details but there were voices higher up (you know, the wealthy people lol) on both sides who thought it best if this fight were delayed. I guess those voices won the day.

          Dude has done it the exact opposite of the hard way

          One decent fighter in forty fights

          He should have taken what he was worth instead of trying to milk as much money as possible

            Team-Hearn has started the new heavyweight wussified trend with his programmed wuss android! This big soft ass muscular girl scout is even worse than Rid**** Bowe.

            A flat fee of 15 with left out info to avoid a pummeling from a 200lb stick!?? Not to worry! The drunk bored UK fangirls will now rejoice at seeing their juiced up hero pummeling another risk free past prime ped cheat AND see him in commercials...YEAAAA!

                    Stop quoting public statements from Eddie lol it just makes you look like a tool. None of what he says publicly is legitimate. It's just promotional jockeying. That goes for both sides. I'd rather stick to what the unbiased reputable reporters are saying. Guys like Kevin Iole at Yahoo. The Benson guy from the UK seems legit too although he's a little young and is a bit of an internet troll.
