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

[Scipio2009]

Haha, Joshua is busy with Povetkin, so while he does that Wilder can fight Whyte. Or do you want Wilder facing another bum?

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.

Thread over......!

Fights shows how over-rated AJ is. Sloppy B Grade Whyte, and Chisora did better jobs on takam/parker than AJ could.

No wonder Eddie and AJ are petrified of Wilder and Ortiz.

Let that anger burn you.

Takam actually went out there to win against Chisora. Why didn't he do that against Joshua? He instead played it safe by being cute and being overly defensive. Joshua still dominated.

And Parker flat-out ran and disengaged against Joshua. Had he had some balls and looked to actually win the fight, Joshua would have been able to get to him and destroy him. But he still dominated.

Joshua dominated and knocked Whyte out cold you fool. Because Whyte actually came to fight. Parker and Takam didn't want that smoke and played far too safe.

Hearn isn't giving any ultimatums though is he? So you are saying Wilder should sit out or fight a bum instead?

And you call yourself a boxing fan? Holy ****.

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)"

You're slower than molassis, and twice as thick. Wilder is not signed to Matchroom so Betty Hearn does not get to dictate who, where, and what network Wilder fights. Nobody subscribes to DAZN!

Who gives a **** about which platform it's on if you're getting paid?

Hearn is even letting that coward fight Whyte on home soil. This deal couldn't get any better for Wilder but he should just say no? You would support that?

Wilder shouldn't care who signs up to DAZN. 2 fights and he's done. He can then go back to Showtime. Simple. But not for you though.

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.

[Sid-Knee]

I'm going to ask you the same question you just asked somebody else. WTF do you care how much money he makes? You're the guy getting more excited by Joshua's bank account than about seeing a heavyweight title unification fight between two undefeated punchers. You obviously know about madness, and I'm not talking about 'Suggs'.

So I should get behind Wilder asking for half of the money then? Making deals is a part of boxing. Most of the time one fighter gets more. This is one of those times.

Supporting Wilder and his demands shows you to be unreasonable. No two ways about it.

[Sid-Knee]

I'm talking about your man-crush on Joshua. Now stop being coy. You need help.

I don't have a man-crush on Joshua. This is a boxing forum where we discuss the ins and outs of the boxing world. When I see people smear Joshua with madness i'm not just going to sit back and agree with a load of loons.

Now answer my ****ing question... Do you think Deontay deserves half?

[Sid-Knee]

If Wilder makes this fight then Joshua will just face Fury next. Hearn doesn't want Wilder to KO Fury and cut off that escape route for him.

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?

[Scipio2009]

Why would Wilder care about how many would watch on DAZN? He's a prize fighter, and this is a huge prize.

These excuses are going beyond crazy now. This place just gets worse and worse.

... 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
