Hearn: Thank god we didn't take $50m. Next year we may be looking at making $200m

Lmao lol...

[Real King Kong]

hell until now people claimed the offer wasnt real!!!! lol you might just wanna sit this one out

What other people think or don't think is irrelevant...it sounds like you're saying wilder was right not to accept 15 mil cuz the fight is gonna be worth more, so you must also think aj was right to not take the 50.

That wasn't the reason he gave. He said he wouldn't sell his soul for it and Hearn said we'll take less to have it at home. If they would have said we think its worth more in the future let's milk it(In a less direct way obviously) then okay I'd get arguing devil's advocate, but there were no talks of 200 million next year with Wilder if we let it sit a little bit.

It doesn't have anything to do with their reasoning for not taking the fight, it's about acknowledging they will be better off for it. You can't say "see, wilder was right to not take the 15" and not say the same about aj. Milking this fight is exactly what Hearn wanted to do, now it's about to pay off if wilder beats fury.

He's supposed to be a promoter, but nothing he ever says creates buzz or excitement for boxing fans. If he's not deflecting, he's obstructing. He's so smug too.

[-Kev-]

Because it never happened? If it did, find the evidence and post a link to it here.

And Hearn is not confirming or admitting the $50million was there in this video. He's talking about being offered $50million. Whether the money was there or not is another matter.

This makes no sense. Sounds like you’re moving the goal post.

Hearn/Joshua were offered $50mill, Hearn didn’t believe it, so he flew to NY to talk to Finkel, $50 mill offer was confirmed by Hearn. What’s so hard to understand about that?

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this about the bullshït artist Hearn..

For the Hearniacs & fanboys always defending fatboy.

If Wilder brings nothing & it's all about AJ...

Why will the value of the fight rocket far more than any fight AJ has fought in?
The original offer was far more money than AJ has ever generated.

AJ has a fight that nobody is talking about, tickets still available & no press for the fight that's weeks away

Wilder is facing fury in the biggest fight at heavyweight

Now the fight is 4 x times its projected value & all Hearn & AJ have done is duck

If the fights worth that much then Hearn might have to take an offer or stick to feeding AJ beatable opponents.

What we've seen is the value of the fight skyrocket. It proves Wilder is no mug & understands the value he brings to the unification

We could potentially see the winner of wilder fury becoming the moneymaker at heavyweight. AJ casuals will follow the wilder fury fight, some will jump ship. You only have to listen to the boos at a hearn event whenever hearn speaks to know most think he's a fat cünt

You keep saying this, but the facts don't support your premise. Wilder was supposed to unify with Klitschko, but Klitschko lost. Wilder had no control over that.

Fury owed Klitschko a rematch, so he wasn't available to Wilder.

Wilder tried to get his Povetkin mandatory out of the way so he could then go after the IBF belt, but Povetkin stalled. Then he finally had to face Povetkin, which was long overdue because Povetkin stalled. He could have ditched the belt to try to get Martin, but wanted to keep his belt. Unification trumps mandatory usually, but not if the mandatory has been delayed over and over already.

The WBA was gifted to Joshua, so there was no champion for Wilder to go after.

He offered Parker 50/50 and they were close to fighting, but Arum blocked it.

What were these unification opportunities that he missed?

You always want to come up with excuses but unfortunately am not buying all that crap.
While he's was champ, there were two other champs plus two vacant belts, he couldn't grab at least one of them because of his inability to take risk.
What is the use of his 50mil if he can't make a fight happen?

[Laligalaliga]

Thats your counter??? really??? LMFAO...

Do you have any other counter?
You can present it.
Smiles!!

The last time hearn flew to the US to meet finkel, they guy and his co promoters/managers/editors were hiding and refusing to meet.
