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

[Manlikefemi]

He doesn't need to go to Vegas. He's the A side so gets to choose. He's the champ. It's always been the way. Don't worry, Wilder is still going to get a massive payday.

Wilder and Joshua can make 2X more in Las Vegas. Joshua is absolutely pathetic hiding behind the "for the fans". He is depriving himself and Wilder of big money. I actually don't think it is Joshua he immediately said "let's roll" after the $50M Offer it's Eddie Hearn.

Carl Froch even said it on a IFL Interview to his face and Hearn didn't sven deny it

Say what you want about Eddie Hearn but I like his ruthless business acumen. $7m for Wilder to take on Whyte as a 'kind of interim' before AJ in April is great build up.

It adds a lot of risk for Wilder. If Wilder can beat Whyte and then AJ (or maybe Fury), I will take back everything I have ever said about Wilder's overhyped ability.

It does, however, mean that if Wilder accepts, he has ended up taking Hearn's improved offer of one of his lads taking on Wilder for about $5m before taking on AJ.

he won’t see more than 3 million for a Breazeale fight. He’s still better off getting 8 mil for Whyte in a one off fighting in my back yard with 5 people watching DAZN. He can get that big payday and still fight Ortiz after

I disagree; even if the number on the fight ends up being $3m (I believe that the actual number will be significantly more than that), fighting in front of 1.5m US homes, after fighting in front of about that for the first Ortiz fight, does more to prime Wilder's future than fighting in front of 5 people on DAZN for Eddie Hearn.

The goal is PPV, and fighting Whyte doesn't get Wilder there, especially when that means Wilder still gets shorted on the Joshua fight (and the one-way rematch).

'Fastcar' should look elsewhere to save that DAZN deal.

Firstly my post had nothing to do with Joshua, secondly am talking about good fight options for Wilder in regards to Whyte. This new offer to Wilder to fight this year is for the fight to happen in America, so yeah if Team Wilder wants to send him a contract for a fight to appear on showtime am sure Team Whyte would jump on it. Not sure what Whyte usually makes but if they are willing to pay him 5 times his usual pay to appear on PBC/showtime and he turns it down then he cannot moan that Wilder is ducking him. That would be a great chance to take the WBC belt off Wilder and that should be his motivation.

Dillian Whyte ducked fighting Pulev or Ortiz to become mandatory for a title shot (and lock in 25% of a possible bid), so what incentive is there for Wilder to offer Whyte 5 times anything for a voluntary defense?

Whyte wants a title opportunity, right? No one is clamoring to see Whyte fight anyone.

Whyte ducked Pulev to fight Parker, that i agree with. In regards to Ortiz i totally disagree. We have been through that many times so am not going to go through that again because it's irrelevant to the conversation.

This is about the allege offer of $8m dollars to Wilder to fight Whyte in america, if Wilder wants to offer Whyte something to come and fight on PBC/Showtime then am sure he wouldn't avoid that fight, especially if it represents five times his normal pay..

[ashadam]

This is all bull**** Wilder is clearly trying his best to avoid Whyte we all can see that, Whyte will take him out simple he hates the guy more than Joshua. Why would you not fight the highest ranked WBC fighter totally misses me, then to talk about setting up fight with Fury for next year ( More like to keep both your names in headlines).

Wilder is so shook of Whyte and his people in fact all 1 million of Americans that know Wilder are shook of Whyte.

[Iamsmoke89]

Wilder will take on an unproven fighter for much less money, and you're alright with that? You cowards are scared for your king clown alright. Pathetic. You know a fighters fan-base is a joke when they support taking on weaker guys for much less money even though they cry Wilder is being avoided and not getting enough money. Hahahahahahaha

Whyte beats the **** out of Brezeale and the Polish bum. Deluded idiot.

Good luck with those PPV's, you're going to need it. Hahahahaha

Man!!!!! Aj must be hittin u from the back real good and hard!!!! And Hearn is gagging u real good huh

[Iamsmoke89]

He doesn't need to go through Ortiz to get to Wilder. He's already beaten a top rated fighter in Parker.

Does the next bum Wilder will face have to go through Ortiz as well? Or are you a raging hypocrite who's clearly scared for his boy?

Whyte is behind Ortiz he can’t do anything until he go through or Ortiz

[Sid-Knee]

I can't argue with somebody who is not grounded in reality. I have not been skipping over anything. We've been going around in circles, and it's completely futile. You've proved your point that you're a moron. I don't think arguing further is going to be anything except a waste of time & bandwidth. Have another boddies and enjoy your Anthony Joshua collector's edition dinner plate hanging on the wall in your kitchen. I SAID YOU'VE BEEN DISMISSED. Go have a dark brown cup of Bovril.

And you skip over it again. Haha.

When you refuse to even acknowledge Wilder and his crazy demands you therefore concede on this subject. You just went about it in an arrogant and OBNOXIOUS manner. So how ironic.

see your wrong again. If Haymon has the DAZN deal U would be arguing why he should fight on it.

There is no good reason to leave 5 million on the table. Whyte should be an easy opponent for him. He can take the money, it doesn’t take any of showtime’s budget and can come back on showtime 3 months later.

He would have to fight 3 times to see what he would get for Whyte.
