Comments Thread For: Hearn To Make "Huge" Offer To Wilder, For Whyte Bout in NYC

[Sid-Knee]

Aw man I guess I hit a soft spot there tighten up. U can look at any website u want honestly whyte is not in top5. Tell ur boy to fight ortiz if he wants wilder point blank.

It's OK, you're scared for Wilder. You're not used to seeing him take risky fights. He should get back to fighting bums. Why take on a top fighter to prove yourself for massive money? That would be ****** wouldn't it?

Mind how you go.

Whyte ran from Ortiz, ran from Pulev, and almost got chinned by Parker.

What makes Whyte into being more than another bum?

Wilder, Joshua, Ortiz, and Pulev are all better than Whyte based on his camp's moves, and I doubt that he would've wanted any smoke with Povetkin either.

Who is Wilder going to face then? Who's this top fighter he'll go after?

[SAINTSTEVE]

Fury won't be ready for well over a year. No chance that fight happens. If Deontay fights Whyte, why can't he then face Joshua in April?

So long as Wilder faces Joshua in April then I really don't GAF who Wilder faces next. I just don't want Fury to get a shot at Joshua before Wilder. Because he hasn't been active.

Anthony Joshua turned down $50m guaranteed for won't of "rewarding his fans in the UK.

Deontay Wilder, in theory, should be able to say no to his own offer for want of continue to grow his relationship with Showtime/CBS, that's basically got him on the cusp of The Deontay Wilder Show on PPV in his own right.

"Here's 15% of the money on the event, with Sky Sports having the right to first/last offer (Sky makes an offer for the fight, Wilder's camp can shop the event to other UK broadcasters, and Sky Sports can match the high bidder if it's not them)"

Joshua is the A side though, he gets to choose where the fight takes place. If Wilder doesn't like it he can go kick rocks.

The Deontay Wilder show on PPV? Hahahaha Tell me, who is Wilder going to fight on PPV?

[Sid-Knee]

You have clearly never been in the ring judging by your comments. Get some gloves on some time, and try fighting someone with a 6 inch reach and height advantage before making ****** comments.

Worshipping AJ doesn't make you knowledgeable about boxing. Quite the opposite.

You do know you're a hypocrite after all you have said? Why don't you take your own advice then...

Hearn desperately wants to promote Wilder and use him to push DAZN in the states

[Sid-Knee]

... Anthony Joshua turned down an offer on a guaranteed $50m, more than double off of what he made in his biggest purse ever, yet you didn't seem to have any issue with that, lol.

Wilder will own his own show, he'll get no worse than an 85/15 Wilder split on his next voluntary defense (against whomever), and Sky Sports likely pays up for the rights because they want to see Wilder-Joshua at some point too.

Wilder ends up near $2.5m on his guaranteed purse, but he's at the table getting upside on the event too (Showtime TV money, a paid crowd at Barclays Center of over 14000, Sky Sports buying the UK rights to the fight, event sponsors, more interest from European TV with the Joshua fight bubbling, etc).

Even if his take ends up being $4m, he would've done so for his own event, with his own relationships strong, and the chance at PPV that much more certain, with or without Joshua

So it's alright for Wilder to offer an opponent 15%? Why aren't his opponents allowed to have a big percentage like you think Wilder should?

[Scipio2009]

Because Dillian wants a shot at a title. He's earned that right with his win over Parker. He shouldn't have to fight Ortiz as well.

You Wilder fans are crazy and scared. No doubt about it.

What did he "earn"?

He ducked the WBC mandatory, he ducked the IBF mandatory, and he fought Joseph Parker with literally nothing on the line, so he earned what?

[champion4ever]

Then he can fight his bums then for peanuts. No problem with me. Hope you enjoy the next **** show.

Yeah I feel ya! Hearn wants the fight alright but he wants it solely on his terms which is not going to happen; Because that ship has sailed a long time ago when Deontay agreed to that the cruel and unfair contract that Eddie kept sabotaging.

Now Deontay doesn't trust him and see him for the liar and snake that he really is. Therefore, this is a new day.

Now Matchroom and Edward has either one of two choices to make. Either they can deal em up straight or don't deal em at all.

Lastly, I am going to tell you and other British fanboys alike. Wilder is happy with his current status. He is very happy and comfortable with the money he's making and with the managing team he has assembled around him.

So there goes Eddie Hearn's bargaining tool and leverage. It's not about money to him. It's more about integrity and the principle of the thing, when it comes to money with Deontay Wilder.

[KTFOKING]

It goes on the platform that makes the most sense. Eddie has already said that if HBO or Showtime offer more money than DAZN can then the fight will take place there.

And no, Eddie is the one helping Wilder. No one else is offering this kind of money. Not Haymon, not GoldenBoy, no one. Yet you think Wilder is helping Hearn out. Funny.

What fight can take place on HBO or SHO? Wilder vs Whyte or Wilder vs Joshua?

And yes, Wilder would be helping DAZN don't be a "fool" as you would say. Hearn is in a win-win either way. He puts Wilder on DAZN vs Whyte and that gets the platform more subscribers and even if Whyte wins, it sets up a big rematch with Joshua.
