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

[Sid-Knee]

Right.

Difference is, Sky is PPV which means upside.
DAZN is subscription with no upside.

So, why would Wilder allow DAZN to stream it in the US while Sky pays AJ for the British buys? Hearns is still trying to offer that bogus flat fee again which Wilder has already rejected. You think he is going to all of a sudden be generous to Deontay and offer to split the PPV pie, one that will have no US buys if DAZN gets the rights?

I know it's hard for some of you to actually think things thru but try to keep up...

Eddie has already said the Joshua/Wilder fight will go to the highest bidder. Be it Showtime, HBO, or DAZN.

[Sid-Knee]

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.

How can they put Joshua/Wilder in the contract when Deontay wants half the money? Wilder is getting nowhere near half. Anyone expecting him to are nothing but idiots.

The Joshua/Wilder fight will go the highest bidder. Eddie has already confirmed this.

So Wilder should face another bum for short money because he would be "Helping" Hearn out? These excuses are beyond pathetic. Should Joshua fans call for him to not fight Wilder because it will help Haymon out or something? Haha. **** me.

So Wilder doesn't need to fight Whyte because he may beat him and set up a rematch with Joshua for all the belts? That's a great reason, man. No, seriously. Hahahahahahahahahahaha

I thought Americans were freaks before, but you've all outdone yourselves with this one.

Highest bidder make no sense at all. Espinoza has already stated he would want it on SHO PPV. Hearn wants that fight on DAZN and said they are ready to pay big money for it .

So you really believe Hearn when he says that? He promised DAZN Wilder and if they do not get him that deal is dead. Showtime not HBO will allow DAZN to slip in and get the fight.

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.

You know what?

You tell me what was biased.

You tell me what in that post was inaccurate.

Because you saying the truth and documented fact is bias...is bias.

And, I am just not in the mood to entertain such foolishness right now.

In comparison to offers to other champions and names, the offers to Wilder have been lowball offers for the AJ fight.

The offer last year to fight Whyte was both a lowball offer in terms of the financial worth of that fight and in addition to that it was a clear gimmick since Hearn refused to put AJ's name on the contract, yet all the while trying to sell it like it would lead to an AJ fight.

You explain the bias there and we can resume this.

And BTW, all of this is about to be moot.

The Fury thing is real.

So, maybe you got an answer after all.

Wilder was fine with the same type of split Parker got. But Eddie all of a sudden decided the WBC champ couldn't get a split, but all the inferior fighters could. Hearn and his people do not think Joshua is ready people need to quit defending the dude.

[Sid-Knee]

Hearn doesn't "let" Wilder do anything.
Wilder is the one trying to LET Joshua prove who is the world's best heavyweight.

Nobody outside of the UK has any interest in a clumsy brawler like Whyte, except King Kong Ortiz, but Whyte already ducked him to fight Parker. Stop trying to sell that British rubbish to astute north American fans.

Of course Wilder should care about what network he fights on, and Wilder should not contribute to Hearn's financial success until he's in the ring with Joshua. Hearn doesn't deserve to have his cake & eat it too. Hearn is about as welcome in America as Don King would be if he opened-up shop in London. American fans don't need another shyster promoter, especially a pompous foreigner who thinks he's superior. They already have Richard Schaefer to fill that role.

Joshua is already the number 1 Heavyweight. So try again. He has 3 titles to Doentay's 1.

Astute North American fans? Hahahaha. But they were happy with all the bums Wilder has fought thus far were they? Get out of here with that nonsense.

Please tell me you're not Canadian? You sound like a deranged American.

Who cares whether people like Hearn on a personal level or not? All that matters is he's a promoter that brings in real money. Not a pittance like Wilder gets from Haymon and co.

[koolkc107]

How can they put Joshua/Wilder in the contract when Deontay wants half the money? Wilder is getting nowhere near half. Anyone expecting him to are nothing but idiots.

Except Martin got half and Wlad got half, and Parker got a split and 32%.

But, for the biggest and most lucrative fight in the sport you offer a flat fee that will work out to 15% to 25%?

It's that kind of bias I am not going to waste time on.

Anyone thinks that is fair needs to have their head examined.

[Madison Boxing]

So once again Wilder has to jump thru a damn hoop just to unify?? Just proves Wilder been telling the truth about these pathetic contracts Hearn has been sending

so lets get this straight your crying about him getting offered his biggest payday by a mile for a fight he will be favourite in? in his own country.

[Sid-Knee]

I think Joshua should have accepted the 50-million offer, taken a trip to the USA to get beaten, then rode off into the sunset to count his money. And, yeah, you do have a man-crush on Joshua. It's painfully obvious, but I can understand that it must be hard for you to admit to yourself. I think that's called the denial stage. Next will be acceptance. But you can beat this! Even though we don't see eye to eye, I'm hoping you can overcome and pull-through. Take it one day at a time. You got this!

Joshua doesn't need to fight Wilder in the states, he's the A side who chooses. That's always been the way.

And yes, you have a real problem with someone. Or maybe it's all of us? Did a Brit **** your girlfriend or something? I sense real bitterness with you.
