Hearn asked himself that same question. Which is why he's playing these games and just finalized aj vs povtekin instead.Comment

50/50 for the rematch if Wilder wins of a pot that Hearn says that it might be around $100 million. So that puts the first fight around that same figure and he wants to pay $15 million to Wilder.
Hearn is full of contradictions.Comment

Yep. Flat fee for Wilder, 30% for Parker! He once described the Wilder fight as "the ultimate roll of the dice" which is why he offered a flat fee, he didn't want him to take it, and if he did take it he wanted to ensure he was clearing serious money.
Wilder shouldnt have agreed though, as much as it was a brave move (forget the 5x his biggest purse BS, that means nothing when the fights worth this much), he's now In a weak postion. He'll ask for % now and Hearn will say he's ducking, and "if you really want the fight, take 15m as you agreed". He'll the use that to push Wilder to one side and make the Dillian Whyte fight in April.Comment

Team Joshua is on a campaign to convince the public they want Wilder but Wilder doesn't want it. Remember this, there is no rematch if Joshua wins. So essentially Team Joshua whole offer schema is based on Wilder ******** that there are two fights.Comment

Hearn wants Fury for AJ, no way the Wilder fight will happen before than. Plus they are not going to risk that DANZ project, they have one of the most popular fighters that can promote that project.Yep. Flat fee for Wilder, 30% for Parker!

He even offered another $5 million for Wilder to fight anybody as long as he can stream it thru his network.
IF that don't tell you their agenda....Comment

I’m really starting to hate this huckster and my contempt for him is rubbing of on Joshua, a fighter who I’ve nothing really against.
Got me wishing that Povetkin, a known cheat, would knock Anthony the fk outComment

I feel the same way, it would be a pity if he gets KOed by Pove because I really want to see the the Wilder fight but sometimes that is what you get when you side step the real fight.
If he gets KOed that fight will lose most of its luster.Comment
