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

[N/A]

Let me guess you are going to lie some more and claim wilder earns more than 2m per fight too right ?

Even his filed purse was higher than 2 mill, and filed purses for Haymon A-sides are often less than half of what the guy is really being paid.

Wilder brings much more to the table than Parker did. Wilder has the most valuable belt. Parker had the least valuable belt. Wilder has a much bigger fan base than Parker. Wilder brings US PPV to the table while Parker only brought New Zealand to the table.

If Parker got 33%, Wilder is deserving of at least 38%, if not 40%.

For Wilder to get a smaller cut than Parker did is simply crazy. He accepted a flat fee because he didn't believe Hearn would really do the fight next. Now that Wilder has proven his point, there's really no reason to fight AJ anymore unless Hearn is willing to make a fair offer.

For me , a A.J. supporter (at times!) I have to agree most part to the above. Hearn and maybe A.J. never wanted Wilder next and for me with whats coming out of Eddies mouth not at all. Hearn has just said Whyte will take the A.J. Wembley spot in April if Wilder doesn't take less than he was originally offered .ffs! That most definitely doesn't sound like someone who wants to make this fight but someone who doesn't .

Losing a little respect for Josh here , he could tell Hearn to f. off instead he seems happy to avoid. Hearn should not be mentioning Whytes name for that date ....already been KO'D and done very little since and fights Parker soon.If Whyte were to do a job on avarage but durable Joe that might change but for me it just shows how desperate Hearn is to try for what he's wanted all through...... to avoid Wilder for as long as he can.

I am beginning to like Al Haymon. I think Finkel is one of Wilder's problem. Finkel is not showing hunger for this fight. Even Parker's management team was saying the other day that they don't know how Wilder remains a peasant in spite of the fact that he's the WBC champ. It's hard to take that Parker has a better payday than Wilder

if wilder sends over a signed contract for 50 million to fight in the US, will you say aj needs to sign the ****ing thing?

Wilder could send a 100 million to fight in the USA and they'll STILL blame Wilder for the fight NOT happening.

As long as he continues to duck, dodge and avoid a Deontay Wilder fight by pricing himself out, then inevitably he is going to lose. Moreover, the guy is overrated and not that good.

I don’t think , regardless of how passionate we are about our fellow countryman can purport he is the finished article. He has his vulnerabilities just like any other heavyweight however I am of the opinion that he is more polished than Wilder but to be fair so is every other heavyweight doesn’t mean Wilder couldn’t knock out every last one.

The thing is Joshua does not behave like he is the finished article there is only one boxer that I see that is guilty of that. But who cares they are supposed to feel their the best or they would beat Mike Tyson( not a fuc#ing chance) I agree in terms of drumming home the fact that we are the A side is getting a bit excessive but we are for now so we have to dictate the terms. You talk of the 50 million which maybe he is ****** to turn down but the idea of an A side technically relinquishing his status as A side and being the B side before a glove is even thrown would have been the first in history. He will still make around 35 million if they were to fight in the U.K. so the loss of a few million to a millionaire to have the added comfort to fight at home and starve Deontay of a partisan crowd isn’t so bad after all

Tell that to Wilder who only makes2.5 million a fight. I’m not questioning Wilder wants to be undisputed but he wants a big pay day and Joshua guarantees that. The 15 million flat fee is bullsh#t but a lot more than 2.5 million

Parker was not a bigger risk fight than King Kong. Parker was the safer fight.

Wilder is a bigger name than Parker who brings a lot more to the table than Parker. So of course AJ's cut shouldn't be as high as it was against Parker. Common sense.

You are batshit insane

Ortiz is a 48 year old with high blood pressure. His best win is Bryant Jennings. His next fight is against a guy Parker already beat.

Parker is a prime heavyweight, who held a world title and beat Takam, Fury, Dimitrenko and Ruiz.

Stop trying to big up Ortiz as an opponent. He was solid. Absolutely nothing more.

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.

It's the sad truth. UK fanboys would throw money at AJ just to get in the ring with his shirt off and beat up an old lady.

.... I'm sorry, are we arguing against facts here? Joshua tko takam 10th and Joshua over Parker by score of 118-110.

Not even sure how to respond to this. Might as well argue that sun revolves around earth.

Ref saved AJ in both fights. If those fights were really that easy they wouldn't need to pay the ref to help him out.

hes literally sending wilder a signed contract lol. you and others can keep repeating this mantra about 'joshua scared doe' but nothing points to it

I, and others like Lennox Lewis, know why this fight isn't happening, and it's not because of Wilder! Turning down a $50 million dollar guarantee is a legendary "duck!" Name me one other fighter who has turned down a $50 million dollar guarantee! Remember, that's a number Joshua came up with, then as Lennox said, "he changed his tune!" Joshua is a COWARD!
