Comments Thread For: Wilder: Joshua Damaged Name in U.S., I'll KO Fury in Mid-Rounds

There in lies the problem. Why was Wilder offered a flat fee of $15 million yet Povetkin will be paid $19.1 million. We both know the reason, Wilder was low balled because Hearn didn't really want the fight.

You’ve misread my post so I’ve edited it to be clear.

By threatening to cripple someone in front of their son???

Attacking someone outside the ring???

Not exactly champion like behaviour.

If you get right down to it, boxing is a violent sport. Wilder's "Wild" talk and actions seem to always centered around boxers or boxing. Say what you will but it is his killer instinct that makes him so dangerous.

Wilder's windmilling doesn't begin until he already has his guy hurt (or thinks he does). So I wouldn't make such a big issue of it.

What else does he possess in his arsenal to beat Fury?

If Hearn signed the contract for Joshua but did not include a copy of the power of attorney showing he was authorized to sign for Joshua then why would Wilder sign the contract? Did Hearn include a copy of the power of attorney?

Each boxer signs his own contract, but not his opponent's contract. The promoter signs both contracts.

Here is a sample of a generic, unsigned fight contract which I got from the Association of Boxing Commissions and Combative Sports website.



"This contract shall be submitted to and approved by the Commission before weigh-ins.

No modification or ********* to this contract shall be binding upon the parties unless the same is in writing, signed by the respective parties hereto, and filed with and approved by the Commission.

PROMOTER (Signature) ________________________ Date_____________

BOXER (Signature) ________________________ Date_____________

MANAGER (Signature) ________________________ Date_____________

NET PAY = $_____________ DEDUCTIONS WERE: __________________

Boxer’s Signature ________________________ "

A contract would be signed by the boxer, his manager, and the promoter who is staging the fight and paying both fighter's wagers, which would be Eddie Hearn, in this case.

Please don’t try and rationalise acting like he did. He is pathetic for bringing someone’s kids into an argument considering his daughter is in a wheelchair.

If Povetkin is getting 19 million , which is ludicrous. How much do you think AJ will earn considering this is a routine mandatory. If that was the case why would any American question AJ for not accepting 50 million if he would earn that in a routine defence? Did you bother to ask yourself that question? Let’s start thinking for ourselves for a change.

I’m still shocked you sent me that Larry Sinclair and wanted me to believe that crap. Now this!!

[OldTerry]

That’s 100% true

That's why Wilder wins all his fights. He tags you first and then comes in for the kill which you have no defense for. Why? Because you haven't trained for the windmills.

Power of Attorney...do you know what that means?

Deontay Wilder has CONFIRMED that he received a signed contract...its not a swerve. FACT.

Have you confirmed that this is indeed the case regarding the presumed power of attorney? I've heard multiple posters question why power of attorney was used or needed in this case.

[Pennsauken1]

Lmao! AJ isn't the best.. so who cares about fake u.k rankings! we have the best! Povetkin and AJ are both roided to the gills. So may the best ped user win!

Lolllllllllllll

[Ake-Dawg]

Exactly my thoughts. Dumbontay isn't exactly the most intelligent boxer in the world, but he must have signed enough fight contracts by now to know that a fighter signs his own contract, not his opponent's.

So this crap is clearly aimed at misleading the dumber end of the boxing fanbase - the kind of morons who lap up shite from DBN and associated YT channels.

And yes, it does make you wonder about how much faith anybody can place in other statements from Wilder and co.

Is it safe to say that since he signs his own contracts that Wilder assumed that every other boxer, presumably one that projects himself to be smarter than Wilder, signs their own contracts as well?
