As it should not. Pricing yourself out is ducking. I know Wilder fans live off double standards but get real kids. Team AJ terms or keep barking like a HW Amir Khan acting like he can dictate any terms of a Floyd fight.
So for a heavyweight saying if he got 50million guarantee (the biggest pay for a heavyweight in HISTORY so it would be "pricing yourself out") but not taking the fight is a Duck? Yes, got it.
Nobody left for AJ to fight. He could fight Povetkin, Whyte then Fury and earn 10x what Wilder gets per fight. Whilst Wilder fights scrubs for chump change.
Why would Hearn increase his offer after BEATING Povetkin. If anything AJ value would have increased further.
All Wilder has to do to upset the chain of potential AJ fights you mention is to fight one or two of these same guys before AJ does.
The quickest way to the fight will be to sign the contract which he already has. It might be a bad deal, but there's not reason he can't just sign it anyway. Hearn has already gone on record to say that the date and venue can be added to the contract which will act as a pre-contractual representation which can be relied upon.
No one will remember or care what the fight was worth and what the fighters got paid if Wilder becomes undisputed. And once he's undisputed he can make crazy money. The endorsements alone would be enormous.
Why is he getting less respect than Parker in the negotiations. Even he got a split and not just a flat fee.
Every time Wilder agrees to something they throw in another obstacle. Wilder went online and said he agreed to the terms, and then Hearn says they need to make a few changes to the contract. Why not just send Wilder's side a signed contract so they know everything is final?
As I understand, that's what they intend to do.
Say what you want about the quality of the offer, but I still think Wilder should just take it, personally. It's still $15m after all, plus a massive upside if he wins.
Well then he'd be in breach of contract for the sum of $15m, plus any other damages that might be in the reasonable contemplation of the parties at the time the contract was made. Not to mention it would be an absolute PR disaster for Hearn.
And you think Hearn would walk into that ? He's got lawyers covering every single angle, and he'd find a way so that it looked like Wilder was the one reneging (as he's done at every single turn so far).
It is not just about the money, that is why he already conceded to everything. Joshua would automatically get a rematch and the split would still probably be in his favor.
It is about money. He didn't conceed to anything because we have no fight, no signed contract. So it is about money. Unless both teams are in this to make this fight bigger by hyping it up.
The A-side usually get a rematch so thats not really relevant.
