    Only AJ hardcore fan boys say it wasn't a real offer. Hearn said it was real and AJ said that they declined the offer because they wanted to fight in the UK for less money.

    I don't understand the confusion or the need to spin it.

    Eddie then offers millions to Wilder over the purse of any fighter he choses as long as he fights in his Danz network.

    At the end all paths looks like they are heading to Fury and apparently Wilder will get him first. No way Hearn was going to match AJ to Wilder first having a chance at Fury and risking him to that fight. Hearn needs AJ to kick start that network

      Technically the money isn't there until it's in an escrow account.

        Do you think it was there to be put in an escrow account?

          Stephen Espinoza confirmed that it was real on twitter, anybody else claiming anything else at this point is trolling.


          This isn't someone that's just in Wilders corner, this is a serious business man that works closely with the network. Men that high up in boxing aren't lying about potential business deals just to crap on some promoter from the UK. Hearn is going to end up getting himself black balled. That's why Hearn left it alone when Espinoza addressed it. I don't see how these promoters who lie and basically defame boxers and other promoters aren't liable in court. When Pacquiao sued Floyd for insinuating he was on PED's, whether he was or not, I could understand, as that could deter people from fighting him and stop him from potential future earnings.

            I don't know. The money is out there, whether the people with the money were confident enough to put it up to back wilder is another story. Bottom line is Hearn doesn't want the fight to happen right away and wilder is holding out for money.

              Although I consider AJ a complete moron, I think even he knows the Wilder fight is the biggest fight of his career by far, and it'd grant him the biggest purse (Fury fight is a distant #2). If he's loyal to Eddie Hearn, then he'd raise his price reasonably or accept pay cuts to remain with Eddie. They've been with each other since his debut, yes?

              I think the $50 million offer would put him closer to comfortable retirement and shorten his career, which would indirectly damage Eddie Hearn. Guess there's that. Still, how loyal do you have to be to someone to go through grueling training camps and take blows to the head for a longer period of time? I don't think AJ declined out of loyalty: I think he fears Wilder and was also kept out of the loop by Eddie Hearn as to the legitimacy of the offer, which made him more likely to believe him. Recently he came out saying that he didn't see proof of funds, although this contradicts what Eddie said weeks ago ("we're not asking for proof of funds"). His reasons for not accepting the offer don't comport with Eddie's very much at all.
              I think if they both keep winning just like Mayweather and Pacquiao, they will walk away with more money if they would've did the fight in September. Of course we the fans are never patient but I think the wait will be worth it just for us the fans but also both fighters pockets. Even if one of them lose I don't think it will hurt this fight same as Juan Manuel Marquez knocking out Pacquiao did not hurt the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight financially

                So US media promotion, Showtime promotion, and US PPV wouldn't have contributed a significant fraction of the revenue? You didn't debunk any of the points, halfwit.


                I'll delete my account right now if you can find a video of Al Haymon publicly speaking about anything.

                Dingbat confirmed.
                Because the A-side calls the shots and seeing as wilders so called 50 million deal included thT means the B-side is trying to hihack the fight.
                Hearns deal to wilder was regardless of US PPV sales....it was legit.
                Wilders deal was funded by joshuas high PPV sells on our side of the water.
                Delete yiur account because you are gullible and believe that unicorns and peter pan exist.
                The 50 million was a not a real offer simple as that

                  Nice. You weren't able to address a single point that I made. Move along now.

                    How do you know that Eddie's offer to Wilder did not include US PPV? Can't believe anyone is that ******. All revenue is factored in, dimwit.

                      Hearns contract does not mention us ppv rights because wilder has none gumbo.
                      The point i am making pink gums is that the 50 million never existed and it was just all bluff from wilders team.
                      No proof of funds was ever recieved and if wilders team was trying to round up the $50 million based on the drawing power of joshua in the uk and box office buys why on earth is joshua going to accept a fight on wilders home turf , with no rematch clause and with corrupted vegas judges.....GTFOH GUMS.
                      Wilders fans must be the most naive and dum f@ckwits on this site.
                      Joshua who makes $20 million a fight and wilder who makkes 2.5 million a fight.
                      Logic tells you something right there lol
