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

[Sid-Knee]

Lol.

The winning purse bid would've gotten Dillian Whyte $375000 (just under £290000), plus whatever he would've picked up on UK TV (Epic, since they have no known UK partners, could sell the UK rights to Eddie Hearn, who could then go to Sky Sports and shop the fight); how much do you honestly think Dillian Whyte gets to fight?

And Luis Ortiz fought on the same friggin night as Whyte-Parker, and handle the guy that Joseph Parker had to work 12 rounds against within 2!

You think Dillian would have got more from the TV rights even though Hearn lost the bid? Dilllian would have got the percentage and that's it. The winning bidder doesn't need to hand over more money because they sell it SKY sports. That money would have went into the winning bidder's pocket, Not Dillians. The Parker fight was a much better package. Dillian actually gets a big cut of the PPV.

Ortiz still turned the date down to fight Dillian.

And who cares that Ortiz got rid of that bum quicker than Parker? Joshua got rid of Molina much quicker than Wilder, but i'm sure you think Wilder wins the fight?

It's hilarious that you seem to honestly think that Dillian Whyte is some kind of world-level elite fighter.

Whyte is world level. He's in the top 5 at Heavyweight. Who, apart from Joshua, has a better win than Whyte's over Parker?

And I don't think Whyte is elite. He's too sloppy for me to call him that. But he is a good world class fighter. You can't take that away from him.

Kubrat Pulev has been the IBF #1 contender for a while now, his final eliminator was already due for April 2018, and is set to head to his third purse bid, this time with Hughie Fury, in a week. The fight ends up happening before the end of the Fall, and this is the IBF.

Lol

If the IBF call for their mandatory so quickly and by the end of the year, Joshua can still fight Wilder in April. Nothing changes there. It won't get in the way.

My claim is that A-sides will fight outside of their country if that's where the most money is. Naz came to the US when there was more money. Just as Lewis, Canelo, GGG and countless others have. HBO is a US based network. Naz was allowed to still fight some fights at home, but he never would have gotten the HBO deal without agreeing to come to the US. He never could have made 8.5 million in one night fighting at home. He never could have gotten the HBO deal insisting on staying home.

AJ is the only fighter in history demanding that a 100 million US fight take place at home for 40-50 million so that he can have home advantage. It's completely unheard of.

Showtime had Naz before HBO came along. They didn't say you have to come to the US or we won't give you a contract.

Maybe HBO did have in the contract that Naz had to fight in the states a few times. Maybe they didn't. But if Naz said he was only fighting in the UK I still think HBO would want one of the hottest fighters in the world tied to them.

Naz made more money in the Barrera fight for obvious reasons. But no, he got the same money outside of that fight whether he was in the UK or the US. If not, show me evidence to prove otherwise? If you can't, don't bother replying.

AJ's own words were, "they're saying it's a 100 million dollar fight" and that if that was true, he'd take 50. AJ & Hearn both went on record saying Finkel claimed it was 100 million in the US. Nobody on either side ever claimed it was 100 million in the UK. Asking for 50 million was specifically in response to Wilder's team claiming the fight was worth 100 million in the US, a claim AJ & Hearn disputed. So AJ, not believing it was worth 100 in the US, called Finkel's bluff by demanding 50.

No matter how many times you push your agenda, it still won't make it the truth. No matter how many times you say it. Joshua replied to Finkle's claims that the fight was worth 100 million. No mention of any country hosting it. So stop telling lies.

Whyte is a bum Parker should've stopped him and Parker only stops bums

[Sid-Knee]

Ortiz won and whyte won so winner of that should get to fight AJ or wilder.

Whyte actually beat a good fighter. Ortiz beat a worthless nobody. So no, Whyte shouldn't need to beat Ortiz as well to get his shot at a title. Not one fighter that Wilder has defended against has a win anywhere near as good as Whyte has. They got their shot but Whyte must do more? Yeah, you're not scared in the slightest are you.

[Sid-Knee]

Let Miller eat! If he can't have Whyte, then let him have Wilder! Whyte lost to Joshua, and Miller hasn't gotten ***** since he's been with MatchRoom!

Miller can eat against Chisora. Chisora is well past his best, but it would still be Miller's biggest test so far.

Whyte should get a Wilder fight way before Miller does. He's earned it now.

[Lemonhead_Jeff]

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.

I must have really gotten your goat.
It's two days later and you are still trying to engage me in debate. Get off your knees, Sid. I already told you, you've proven yourself to be a complete moron who lives in a whimsical fantasy world. It's utterly futile trying to discuss reality with a person who arrogantly creates their own skewed version of facts. Although we'll never see eye to eye, I really do hope that you finally get the diagnosis & treatment you need. Best of luck.

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

Joshua may make more money having it in Vegas, but I can't see Wilder making more. Once everyone has had their cut, Wilder will be left with 10 mill or less. But Finkle and Wilder want it at home because that gives them home advantage. Joshua should stick to his guns and have home advantage himself. He is the A side after all.
