Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua Needed Wilder to Sign to Get Exemption From WBA

What. A. Dumbass.

So in the very same sentence you’re saying Wilder shouldn’t have signed Eddie’s contract because it didn’t include a date or venue, but AJ SHOULD have signed Wilders which didn’t include a date, venue, or actually any details AT ALL.

Right. Ok then.

What? Hearn never even agreed to the offer.. they put out videos asking AJ to accept the 50 million.. instead AJ said he's not selling his belts.. lol. What a cowardly champion of England.. smh..

Who give a sht about a date when $50,000,000 is on the table. There was only a flat fee in the hearn deal no % on top of it. That was the biggest issue.

At this point, Hearn needs to STFU because nobody is switching sides. Everyone that is convinced that Wilder is at fault will continue to do so. Everybody that’s convinced that Hearn is full of **** and never intended for Wilder to be AJ’s next opponent will continue to do so. So at this point, it’s time to move on to Povetkin. And start to convince his legion of idiots that Povetkin is a combination of Joe Louis and Ali come to life. Similar to the way he convinced them that Parker wasn’t the bum that he is.

I agree with you here. But let’s not pretend like lot of people on here wasn’t choosing Parker to beat aj.

Wilder said the contract was different to what he previously agreed to. So of course he didn't sign it yet

Both sides like to talk a lot and not make the fight, impossible to know who’s telling the truth. At least we get GGG and Canelo this year, the middleweights have less fear of fighting each other than the heavyweights, looking forward to Sept 15!

When in the history of fights this magnitude has a promoter not allowed % earnings for credible opposition while still continuing the high and mighty
act.

Everything Hearn does is disrespectful & condescending towards Wilder simply because he has a bunch of paying drunks lapping up everything he says & dishes out.

We have a potentially roided robot knocking everything out without any proof he’s legit. Yet the roboteers could care less! Once they’re drunk and their hero’s fighting - it’s all good.

[N/A]

Both sides like to talk a lot and not make the fight, impossible to know who’s telling the truth.

Finkel's side of the story makes sense though. Hearn's side of the story doesn't make sense.

In some interviews, Hearn has said he needed proof of funds. In other interviews he's said he never asked for proof of funds.

In some interviews he said he couldn't agree in principle to terms sent because they didn't send a contract with the offer, meanwhile in Hearn's own offers, he didn't send a contract until the term sheet was agreed to in principle.

Hearn said he sent the contract on a Friday, but then changed his story to Monday after Finkel went public that he lied about sending it Friday.

From a strictly business point of view, it would have been insane for Hearn to do the Wilder fight before the Povetkin fight. So from sheer motive, we know Hearn would be more likely to try to stall than Finkel because logic dictates when you have the biggest cash cow, you don't rush into the most dangerous fight. You make some easier pay days first.

Whereas when you don't have the biggest cash cow, but your fighter is dangerous, you want them to get their opportunity ASAP. So many fans have correctly pointed out that Wilder might make 4-5x what he normally makes for this fight while AJ might only make 2-3x what he normally makes for this fight. So who do you think is going to be more desperate for the fight to happen?
