Comments Thread For: Hearn: I'll Pay Wilder $5M to Fight Anyone He Wants Next in N.Y.

damn ur right, he should be like other promoters who promote out of the kindness of their heart

Hearn turned down 50 million dollars like money isn't the object. He is making peanut offers and excuses. If he was serious he would best the offer, and quit begging. He's looking out for his meal ticket, he'll throw AJ to the wolves when the time is ripe.

Wilder is googling 5th ranked polish cruiserweight as we speak.

After what another Polish guy did to her for 6 rounds, I doubt Jennifer will go that path...

Tell that to Parker.

Then why offer Wilder anything? I will tell you why. He is doing it for public relations purposes. Who does he thinks he fooling? The man has a guilty conscience. He knows he done Deontay dirty and all the world; Including his fellow boxing rivals and competitors and Brits know he done Wilder wrong. He's doing this in order to repair some of the damage done to himself and his company's reputation.

Nobody is going to forget about that 50 million dollar offer. Hearn comes back with a 5 million offer for 2018 and 15 Million tomorrow. BS! Hearn took control of Indongo with his crap and see what happened. He has Parker fighting another one of his "killers" at home for chump change. Side deal Hearn. Wilder is going to trust him?

[Bronx2245]

Which Hearn denied.

Did you see the contract?

I don't trust Hearn any further than I can throw him!

December 28, 2017:

"The fight has never been closer. We're a lot closer now to a deal because we've had a major breakthrough, which is that the two camps have formally agreed on the split," Higgins told ESPN in a phone interview from his home country of New Zealand. "The Joshua side made a small concession, and the Parker side has made a small concession."

Initially, Parker's side demanded 40 percent, with Hearn offering a fraction of that figure. Although Higgins declined to give the precise percentage split the sides agreed to, he said it was between roughly two thirds of the pie for the Joshua side and a third for the Parker side.

"It's between 30 and 35-ish percent for the Parker side," Higgins said. "I'll leave it at that for now, but it's somewhere close to the middle of that. Maybe after Eddie and I talk about it, we will make the figure public."

There is no damage, who blamed Hearn still blame Hearn, who blamed Wilder still blame Wilder. At the end of the day only fans losing, both sides just making business on our expend and both getting paid highly.

Yea Wilder doesn't work for Hearn he better not accept that bullsh** offer!! He's low balling the fk out of Wilder lol hahaha

When you low ball like that, it only proves you don't want the fight! If the flat-fee was at least $25 million, I could understand, because that's at least 25-30% anyway, but $15 million? GTFOH!

[b00g13man]

then wtf was your point then in saying hearn has something to gain, of course he does he will be doing his job

Something extra to gain. A fight in-between that wouldn't have existed if the AJ fight happened next, which (surprise, surprise) is what he wanted all along by trying to push the Whyte agenda.

It's Eddie Hearn saying I want to buy out your contract. He thinks he can buy Wilders silence over the obvious duck...and get him to promote DAZN in the process. Wilder wasn't taking the 15mil before...why would he take it now? I still say Wilder should call Furys bluff. He needs to take back control of this situation and leave Eddie back in the UK/Europe.

You saved me from saying something similar. This is a power move by Hearn and would give him total control of the situation and Wilder's boxing future. I feel pretty confident that Al Hayman and Showtime are going to make it worthwhile to Wilder to refuse Hearn's offer. Long term this works out well for Wilder.

You think Wilder - Joshua is a 100 million dollar fight?


Please tell me you’re joking.

This is part of the problem. We have people think both guys are 20-25 million dollar fighters but they’re not... One is and the other is so far back behind that he’s bringing in close to nothing to these guys. Nothing they can’t get with practically anyone else. Joshua made close to 30mil right? Against Parker?

The distant B side is in no position to make any demands or offers. Aj doesnt just make all the money, but everyone else would rather fight him too...so he can shut Wilder’s options out and let him feast on leftovers...

People need to separate being a fan and look at it Objectively from a pure business point of view.

I dont like it and most dont but it is what it is.
