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

No thank you, make the Wilder vs Joshua fight already.

Ortiz vs Whyte on the undercard would be cool though

Joshua is fighting Povetkin next. In the meantime, Wilder can take on Whyte. Then Wilder and Joshua can face off against each other in April.

Makes perfect sense.

I don’t care how much they earn or location any more than you do for saying who is the A-side or what they deserve. I am simply giving an opinion on negotiations and who is holding up the fight.

I am objectively looking at the talks of the fight and trying to figure out who really wants the fight and who simply wants to talk.... much like any and everyone else in this boxing forum is trying to figure out as well.

Maybe you don’t agree w my assessment of who’s to blame, but kinda pointless to ask “why I care...” especially when you’re the one talking about a side

Joshua is the one who clearly wants the fight, he has offered a contract after all. All Wilder has to do is sign it.

And Wilder is the one doing all the talking. The dude can't shut the **** up for a second.

JOE CALZAGHE earned $10m from his showdown with Roy Jones Jnr, Wales on Sunday can reveal.

Despite the fight attracting only half of the anticipated TV audience and failing to sell out the famous Madison Square Garden, it was still the biggest purse collected by the Welsh boxing superstar.




Who said Naz lost money by fighting at home? I said he fought his biggest fights in the US because that's where the biggest money was. Nobody is saying AJ should fight every fight in the US. I'm saying A-sides that aren't from America still fight here if the fight generates more money here. AJ is the only fighter in history willing to give up so much money to get a home ref.

Naz was guaranteed $8.5 million to fight Barrera in the US. What UK fight are you claiming made him more?

Now show me what Calzaghe earned for his fights with Lacy and Kessler?

I asked you to give me a breakdown of how much money Naz earned in his fights, not you just rambling on. Give me the evidence to back up what you're saying. or stop writing a load of bollocks all the time. The Barrera fight obviously made him the most because it was a super fight. But I want evidence on his other fights.

Makes perfect sense.

Apparently he's in advanced talks to fight Fury

Why offer Wilder a fight with Whyte in NYC, when you have a NY native already in your stable? Whyte vs. Miller in Brooklyn! Make that happen!

Because Whyte is a better and more proven fighter than Miller is. Plus the money is huge for Whyte whereas it will be nowhere near to that against Miller.

Makes perfect sense. But I know you're scared for Wilder, which is why you're saying this. And you have good reason to, because Whyte can most definitely beat Wilder. Wilder would be the favourite, but Whyte is a live dog. Wilder struggles with bums so he will definitely struggle with this one at the very least.

Stop with the sit out bs he has a mando he can fight instead you already know this don’t need to be a puppet to Hearn demands of just throwing roadblocks to the fight everyone wants to see besides the aj protection force

How is it a roadblock when Joshua and Wilder wouldn't be even fighting until next year? Wilder is going to fight again at the end of this year, so it should be someone good and not one of his usual bums he likes to fight.

[Kezzer]

By that logic, we should have already had the Joshua-Wilder fight.

Yet, we get ridiculous flat fee offers unlike anything Matchroom has negotiated previously with other chaampions.

No, if I am Wilder I get everything I asked.

Last year, Wilder said give me 7M and put AJ's name on the contract and I will fight Dillian. Hearn told everyone Deontay was insane.

But apparently the only part Hearn thinks Wilder is tripping on is AJ next since he is now offering the money Wilder originally asked for.

Hearn needs to deal in good faith, put AJ's name on the contract and stop talking about flat fees for the biggest fight in the sport.

So enough of your bias, put that to one side. Joshua opportunity is in April, outside of fury (who let's be honest, if you fight this year even a win gets no credit because fury isn't back yet) who do you take on? Who is better than Whyte for wilder this year? Being given 7 million or not.

[Sid-Knee]

Feed those scrubs to Miller, Eddie. Wilder has a better fight lined up...

Miller would be the scrub in this discussion.

What better fight would that be then?

[Sid-Knee]

If Eddie Hearn wanted to work with Wilder he should have negotiated with good faith from the beginning. Make Wilder vs Fury to rile up the Brits, and freeze Hearn out.

Freeze Hearn out? He is the one who has the biggest name in boxing. So yeah, that makes no sense.

[Sid-Knee]

What is Hearn’s fascination with making Wilder fight Whyte?

He's his promoter and wants to get him a world title fight, maybe?
