Comments Thread For: Wilder: I Won't Accept Flat Fee; Now It's 50-50 for Joshua Fight

What he "confirms" on IFL is meaningless if the contract says something else.

The contract said something else because Hearn didn't know exactly what the date and venue was going to be. He was working on it. He had the WBA hanging over him so needed to get the contracts signed quickly before they got in the way. You know it would have taken too much time for Hearn to get the exact date and venue ready before signing due to the WBA. All Hearn was doing was saving time.

Hearn wasn't going to say Oct or Nov time then switch it to April next year.

There's a big problem with that excuse. Boxing contracts are signed all the time without an EXACT date. The contract could have said, "fight to be held, without any interim fights, in October or November, with an exact date to be confirmed on no less than 10 weeks notice."

You're choosing to believe Hearn's excuse even though Hearn's excuse doesn't make any sense if you know how boxing typically operates.

Finkel wasn't demanding an EXACT date for the contract, just some sort of language that guaranteed the fight would be next. Hearn kept stalling until he eventually admitted he wasn't willing to do the fight until April.

Hearn confirmed the fight was next a few times you dip*****. It's only now he's saying April because he wants to do the fight at Wembley.

He operates under the premise that Hearn statements are gospel. He also hasn't addressed why the contract didnt explicitly say Wilder was next given that a was no date or why Hearn didn't address that in writing to get the contract across the finish line.

As I have tried to get you to respond multiple...why doesn't the contract say that. Stating it in an interview means nothing if the contract doesn't say it.

If Eddie didn't know the date or venue himself, how could he have put it on the contract? He was in the process of getting date and venue sorted. Wilder knew it was going to be either Oct or Nov. But Finkle wanted to waste more time so he could force the Mandatory.

Hearn wasn't going to say it was next then go back on his word. He would have been slaughtered for that. It was obviously going to be next.

So they were supposed to sign the contract based on the presumption that Hearn wouldn't screw them over. I don't think they nor most trust Hearn as much as you do. In business you trust what's in writing.

If Hearn said it was next then it was next. Do you know how damaging it would be to his brand if he did that?
