Comments Thread For: Hearn To Wilder: No More Rubbish - You Want The Fight or Not?

[McNulty]

Look at these guys, disgraceful and exactly why UK will always play 2nd to 3rd fiddle in the world scope of Boxing.

They're so subpar they have to play these sort of games. WIlder fought 95% bums and if he's coming aafter you and you duck, bad bad look.

So Wilder “obviously doesn’t want the fight” because he didn’t want a flat fee and wanted a two way rematch clause. But AJ does want the fight, even though he turned down possibly the biggest guarantee in boxing history. After he said he’d “sign tomorrow if he guaranteed $50M.” Love your logic.

I agree, some people are so delirious these days. AJ said 50M, and we heard nothing but excuses after the demand was met.

AJ made more than $50M each of his last three fights? That’s news to me. Either way, AJ isn’t an established draw in America. Matter of fact, his TV ratings are pretty low. Lower than Wilder’s. So if the fight took place in America, why does AJ deserve more than a 50/50 split? Especially with Wilder’s team financing the event and taking all the financial risks.

What I am saying is the 50m should be out of the equation if we really want to see the fight,Wilder should just make a deal for a U.K fight so we can see the fight once and for all

No matter who is your favorite, Wilder or Joshua;

It all comes down to one thing after the spin:

Joshua turned down a $50 million guarantee plus 50% on the back end. (In a fight Hearn said was only a $40 mil fight.

Either AJ is scared to lose, or is juicing. Afraid of the more stringent testing done by the WBC that would be demanded? Needs more time/notice to clear up and wants to make as many $ as he can before he gets KO'd? That's all I can figure.

Good for Wilder saying eff off, and from now on its 50-50. At this point I personally don't care if the fight ever happens. Hearn has made AJ look like a scared puss, and I know that isn't true.

" At this point I personally don't care if the fight ever happens. Hearn has made AJ look like a scared puss, "

Maybe in bizarro world ,however Wilder will go down as one of the worst HW champions in history without fighting Joshua and it will ALL be remember bc he didnt sign an agreed contract despite his illogical cult following . #FACTS

What you are saying is you are an AJ fanboy who is short on facts but long on feelings.

Why should the largest verified guarantee ever offered in the history of the division be "out of the equation".

AJ said give him 50M and he would sign tomorrow.

They offered him that 50M and he got homesick...

Joshua opted to take less as long as it happens in the UK.
What's so wrong with that?
You're the A side and your belts are on the line and you want the fight at home.
That makes more sense than being B side having a shot at multiple belts,
currently making less than $2 mil, then turns down $15 effing mil.

Wilder agreed to the BS flat fee, knowing it would be a huge fight. What he didn't like it the fact that there was no location or date on the contract, a one way rematch clause, and Hearn would pick the referees.

Its true, the offer is probably $13 million more than Wilder has ever made. $50 million is $30 million more than Joshua has ever made. Joshua would have cleared another $10 million at least with his share of PPV. You are blinded by either your hate for Wilder, or your love for Joshua.

When it comes down to it, I don't think it is even a money thing, it is a courage thing. Wilder has it, Joshua doesn't.

Daddy Hearn's come out believing he's respected where his son's not

Fat boy learned from daddy Hearn

They're a pair of wánks

Donkey Wilder is a liar and his foolish fans believe every crap he says.

AJ said give me 50m because they said the fight is worth 100m in the Uk,he did not say give me 50m in the US and i will sign the fight tomorrow,Wilder also said it's not about money it's about legacy,do you really wants to see this fight or you just want to keep arguing about who is ducking?i want to see the fight and no matter how much you twist the 50m Joshua won't accept it and the only way we could see the fight is if Wilder go to the Uk accept their deal beat him and become the man,at this juncture I am tired of arguing about who is ducking or who is not,I just want to see the fight

[champion4ever]

Wilder was right. The Hearn's really are a disease on the sport of boxing. They are planning on giving Deontay Wider just a flat-fee as opposed to a percentage as AJ is getting. What they don't understand is that the U.K. Is not the end of boxing. America doesn't need them. They need America. For all we care, Joshua could stay in that small little country of theirs and remain regional and abide in relatively obscurity from the rest of the world over there if he so chooses. No one gives a fuck!
