Definitely Not Happy...

about this. The way it went down I think I'll skip paying for Joshua-Povetkin. Hearn just wasted everyone's time. For a beltholder to accept a flat fee and fight overseas, Hearn's not going to get a better deal.

I think Deontay should just go about his business and skip the Joshua fight. There's a good chance Povetkin could win anyway. If Parker gave Joshua problems Povetkin will as well. Might be a Wilder-Povetkin unification next.

You know I didn't think about this before, but Wilder traveled to Russia to fight Povetkin and then was willing to travel to the UK for AJ (after fighting Ortiz).

The guy is trying to make it happen.

It's weird because I spent years doubting this guy and criticizing his skills, but over time, I've learned to really appreciate him. It's not all technique and being "sharp." Wilder is all heart and power and that's a very relatable quality.

One more payday before getting crushed!

Can someone buy AJ a tampon for his p@ssy.

Whatever, just buy Wilder a pen for next time ok?

They are not fighting Wilder before they fight Fury.

Wilder never been to Russia in his life. Also he refused to come to Wales, facts.

The WBC champion also revealed he took issue with the rematch clause in the contract, which would only apply if Wilder won.

A unification showdown between three-belt world champion Joshua and Wilder has been put on hold after the Brit was ordered to fight Alexander Povetkin by the WBA.

Wilder has reacted furiously to the latest developments and accusations from the Joshua camp that claim the American never had any intention of signing the contract.

Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn believes Wilder was bluffing through-out talks, but the heavyweight champion has dismissed those allegations.

‘It was simple. The two things were simple. How can you send a contract to anybody when you don’t have no date on there?’ Wilder said on ‘The Boxing Voice’ podcast.

‘Nor do you have a venue up in there. He’s sending the contract saying ‘Just sign it’. And then another thing that was up in there was talking about if I beat Joshua he gets a rematch, but if he beats me then it’s up to him to decide if there was a rematch.

‘Nah, it’s either going to [both of us having rematch clauses] or none at all. There is going to a rematch or no rematch at all. It’s crazy.

‘How you going to send a contract like that? It was simple things that they could not answer. It ain’t that they couldn’t, it’s that they wouldn’t.

Team Hearn is simply just scared. Its amazing just how scared they actually are. Their loyal brain washed fans make it incredibly easy accusing Team-Wilder over just about anything..... the culprit moves are from Fast Eddie under the guidance of his dad who's far far in the background convincing them to follow a "legacy plan" instead of fighting Wilder now. I wouldnt be surprised if the wbc pres and Hearn are in cahoots to push the PEDveton fight to make some big money under the table.....its not far fetched at all.

Dude he was boarding a plane to russia before Pedroid decided to juice up. And AJ is probably on PED's himself. I see why you love dem cheats!

This actually makes a TON of sense?? I dont know if you were joking or not? But this sounds about right.
