Comments Thread For: Wilder Manager: Maybe This is Hearn's Way of Killing April Too?

[man down]

Wilder was able to guarantee fifty million for AJ for a fight in America. What money has AJ even offered yet alone guaranteed Wilder to fight anywhere that approaches fifty million for either of them??? As far as I am concerned, the fighter who can guarantee the biggest purse is the A side. Look, GGG has the belts; however, Canelo is suppose to be the A side because Canelo is the one who'll bring the fans to make the purse. See? The guy who guarantees the biggest payday is the A side. Unless of course we are dumb enough to forget all the Canelo reasoning which makes him the A side despite GGG having the titles. So, Wilder guarantees fifty million for AJ, and AJ can't come close to guaranteeing that amount of money for anybody. so, who is the A side, and who is the B side??? Why? Because Eddie Hernia says so? Are you that ******? Others may be, but I'm asking is you are. Are you?

Canelo is the A side and I think his cut would have been more if he wouldnt have failed the test.

I dont believe this "contract" drama by either man. Saying Ill give you 50mil while listing no conditions seems odd to me. No one would sign that contract IMO.
Wilder is the B side no doubt about it. Look at the attendance records and the money made by each fighter and who each has fought in the past.
Like I said Im a Wilder fan but Im straight up when it comes to these matters. Im a Manny fan also but when he was making the fight with Floyd I went to bat for Floyd also. To be fair Im also a Floyd fan but more of a Pac fan. Whats right is right. Im not a AJ fan at all.
Ive met Wilder and the respect he gave me as a fan made me a life long fan of his. He took the time to take a pic with me while with his girl while out. I didnt want to bother him but he insisted.
I hope this explains things a bit better. I know a lot of people wont agree with me and thats all good. Everyone have their opinion.

Well you should give a **** if you want your guy to be able to say he’s the best. Wilder holds the only other major belt in the division (and oddly the most prestigious belt in HW history) and is considered the best HW besides Joshua currently. Beating him would cement Joshua’s legacy pretty early in his career; very Tyson-esque. If you want to buy tickets and ppv’s to watch AJ fight a nearly 40 year old Povetkin who was floored his last fight by a pretty much journeyman Price, more power to you.

But you should be wanting your guy to fight the best next. He has belts. It’s a responsibility, and like it or not, people see these things. If they don’t think he’s ready for him next, they should come out and say it. I like AJ and Wilder, so I’m not defending a position of ego at all here. That’s why I can have discourse about it without becoming upset.

You are delusional. The casual fans in the UK who buy PPV's and tickets for Joshua fights don't give a **** about Wilder. Joshua will continue to make 8 figures no matter who he fights. If Wilder wants to be a diva it isn't Joshua's problem.

Its funny we as fans take sides in this. This is all business and we are all being played by BOTH sides. They hope to win over the fans to see it their way that way they have more power in negotiations. Thats why I dont start hating on one or the other. We are being used as a tool.

Just like the USA fans don't give a **** about AJ. US Fans didn't even care about the Klitschkos all those years.

[Boxingfanatic75]

hes the B side. he doesnt dictate anything and he knows it. its the anthony joshua show and hes earnt it by taking the risks that wilder never took and moving his career on quickly. no other fighter has had problems with negotiating with hearn, only wilder.

Lennox Lewis disagrees

Keep those 2 bum clowns in Queen land, time to move on and make some real fights

That is definitely true. But AJ generates a lot more more money in the UK than Wilder does in the US. Wilder hasn't even sold one PPV yet.

This Snake is putting up a smoke screen acting like he wants to make the Wilder fight, knowing he is going to put his Diva in with that other Britian Bum, it will be Hilarious if PEDvetkin KOs Glass Jaw and Parker knock out British Bum # 2

Then why not do a winner take all match? I know Deontay Wilder would be up for the challenge how about Anthony Joshua?

At this point, I hope they both lose and we can stop hearing about this 5 times a day..every single day. It's not like either 1 of these guys is a great heavyweight. And it's not like a fight between them will end up being an all time classic war or slugfest. It can't be because neither 1 of these guys can survive being in a war or a slugfest. So it will probably be a cautious 1 punch at a time fight until 1 of them lands the first big punch and then it will be over.

The promoters and politics of it all have made me get to a point where I just want them all to shut up and forget the whole damn thing. They've made me so sick of it that I don't even want it to happen anymore.
