Comments Thread For: Wilder: Eddie Hearn is Not a Guy That You Can Trust

[Boxingfanatic75]

Hearn is what made Joshua today.
He's the one who added a prestigious name Klitschko in his resume.
You've seen the fight. AJ almost got stopped, which means there was still risk involved.
In contrast, Finkel treated Wilder like a baby, "He won't be rushed to fight Klitsch."
Don't even get what this Deontay guy is saying.
You don't have to trust any promoter.
Question is do you want the fight or want retirement money?

Prestigious name? He got beat by a jelly roll all you can eat buffet tub of lard bum! Further to that he was in a looooong layoff period. Prestigious at one time? Sure....in the last 4 years? Hell no! His best days have been far behind him. If having an over the hill fighter on your resume is what makes you millions and here are suckers out there doling out the cash to watch it?

Suckers

Laughing at all of the UK fans on here arguing that a fighter should trust the opposition's promoter!

If he wants to be the #1 and undisputed he needs to sign the contract for April.

If money is his sole motivation then he would NOT sign that contract, if legacy is what he is after them he would. Either way he has an offer than represents his market value 5 times over, and a good shot of winning all the belts. If that doesn't motivate you then nothing will.

The world has gone crazy if $15 million and doubling your net worth is not motivation in itself.... the financial rewards in any rematch and future fights should also be a factor.

Yet many fighters regularly return to fight on his cards. Peynaud and Parker to name a couple from the upcoming July 28th show. It's where the money is at.

It's more to boxing than just money. By the time Anthony Joshua retires all that money will be gone anyhow.

Boxing should also be about fans, honor, dignity, legacy, pride, patriotism and prestige. These accolades shall last forever and will a follow a fighter to his grave; Even unto death. While money would not.

So that is what Wilder is fighting for; He wants to be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world while the other guy only cares about and is fighting for money. He doesn't give a good damn about the things I've mentioned above but only himself.

Joshua was never sent a contract when he asked for one. Next question.

Logical, reasonable and goes to the heart of the issue.

Well you see how we went from "British fans don't want to see the fight" to "Wilder shouldn't take the fight because of 15m dollars flat fees". Not one of them is like "Forget the money and go for those 4 belts" Not a single one.
