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

[Overunder]

Wilders star is bright enough in the U.S. especially with the AJ situation that he can put together his own bout with Showtime and get an A side split with a guaranteed minimum instead of a flat fee from Hearn with some kind of b.s. snuck into the contract. No one in the US wants to see their champion disrespected by Hearn.

Yeah that’s the rumour that I heard earlier, Hearn is trying everything he could to get Whyte his WBC shot, issue is would this fight be on showtime? Since Wilder is a PBC fighter. Aside from the politics, it would be a better pay than whatever Wilder would make from the Breazeale fight, better exposure, getting rid of Whyte who might get the Joshua April 2019 fight and firmly put Wilder in a better negotiation (If they haven’t already agree a Joshua deal) going into a Joshua PPV.

Yikes!

Sorry, this is getting mean

No, it's you trying to make a point like I give a damn about a Canadian or German market.

I am talking about THE MARKET.

And, if Takam was the first thing carried by DAZN in Canada, that is AJ's last two fights.

But, here's what happened in the important markets.

AJ's US rights were with Showtime up until the Parker fight.

His first fight on DAZN that will supposedly be streamed here is Povetkin.

I wish AJ luck, but my guess is it's going to be a colossal flop.

Maybe Eddie sees it coming too, which explains why he is bird-dogging Wilder, even offering to do the fight in Barclays.

Desperate times, I guess...

For Wilder fanboys, fear has a face

Of course, he wants his DAZN platform to kick off and he knows it isn't going to happen with the likes of Andrade or Miller or even Joshua/Povetkin. Joshua still only does like 300-350k on the afternoon broadcasts so he won't move the needle. But he knows Wilder/Joshua will be something that attracts a crazy amount of subscribers. And if he could get Wilder vs Whyte/Chisora on DAZN? He would LOVE that.

But that just isn't going to happen.

Glad you get it.

If only a few other idiots here could...

Why do you give a damn about any market? Just lighten up, buddy.

[rickJen]

Once in a lifetime offer, take it.
It's equivalent to taking 4 fights as per current pay per fight.
Swallow your pride, it's just business doe.

I am good.

Tell me, Mr. Wizard, how many folks in Canadian DAZN saw the AJ vs Takam fight? AJ vs Parker?

And are you aware of the issues DAZN has had in Canada?

I don't think you know jack about any of it, because if you did you might not be bringing it up here.

But, you be well...

Anything to keep him away from Joshua!

[markther]

I’ve been on record that fighting Whyte after his win this weekend is a good move & Haymon should advise Wilder on that too. Wilder listens to Haymon. Pick up your biggest payday to date with Whyte, beat him in dominating fashion in NYC, and head into the Joshua fight if he wins over Povetkin making even more money in that fight and a shot at being the Undisputed Champion.

Hopefully Wilder takes the fight in NYC. And hopefully he watched Mikey Garcia call out Spence to give him some balls too. No excuses!
