Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua Would Like Wilder, But No Interest in Time Waster

[aboutfkntime]

As Hearn/AJ said in an interview a few weeks ago, they've got till mid January to get the Wilder/AJ fight signed.

While it would nice to get it agreed now so that they can focus on it immediately after the Fury & Povetkin bouts (provided they come through those) I can see no harm in waiting until they have both fought.

The only sticking point in making this fight is the financial split, which if Wilder wins (not a question of 'if' because he will) then he will have more of a claim to a 50/50 financial split. - I don't think Hearn will give him 50% and I personally agree with that BUT I do believe he should be getting 40% - 45% not a flat fee.

The problem is that Wilder already wants 50% and when he beats Fury he will stay firm on that and I don't think Hearn/AJ will entertain that idea which is a shame because ultimately it is boxing fans that miss out. They both make millions going forward regardless of whether or not they fight each other.

As AJ said 'the financial pie is big enough for everyone to make plenty of money' so he should concede and accept 50/50... Whoever wins will be able to demand a bigger split in the rematch which would make it 100% fair.

Thoughts people? - Without arguing/insults, lets try and keep it boxing and unbiased?

what a fkn big waste of time that post was lol

it is plainly obvious why that fight is not happening Eddie..... or, whoever

It took Tyson Fury a couple months to get in shape and a few weeks to reach a agreement with Deontay 'Bronze-Bomber' Wilder ; Eddie Hearns and Joshua have been pushing this fight waaay-back since 2016 when A.J made his first defense of the IBF against Dominc Breazeale! F**K-OFF CLOWN!!!

loool

If it’s not clear of the obvious avoidance team Joshua has for wilder then I don’t know what else to say

it is plainly clear..... despite the dummy-act from a few clowns

[1hourRun]

loool

I forgot to include in my last post that Wilder expressed his interest to fight Joshua in Las Vegas NV to FightHype after Joshua vs. Breazeale back in 2016 - its about to be 2019 bruh! and I just remembered that interview from SKY with Johny Nelson, apparently Anthony was not joking about waiting to...what 2020?! I cant remember right now!

[P to the J]

The one who turned down his career high payday of 50 million guarantee is a clear indication of who is wasting who's time. That slave deal was agreed upon for this September by team Wilder.. not april next year u pathetic dung beetle! Ur offer is whack.. ur champion is a world vacant paper champion.. nothing more.. and he's afraid. We offered fury 50/50 because we are fair. Not this bs 12.5m flat fee.. but we are suppose to believe hearns has a billion dollars? Lmao.. remember AJ man fans.. the money isn't real its a publicity stunt, AJ can ko Wilder in 3rds? parker is a tougher fight than Wilder.. no one knows Wilder.. Wimbley is not available in September. AJ needs more than a 8 week training camp for Wilder.. AJ man fans need to go train an fight Wilder yourself because AJ is not selling his soul for 80m plus and he built this in england an wants to do it for his fans.. wtf? Yes AJ the devil is in the details and his name is "The Bronze Bomber! " tell the U.K fans whatever you want..But the rest of the World knows whats going on.. even your own countrymen.. fury, lennox, hatton, etc..

“AJ can KO Wilder in 3.”

Correction: any decent, young heavyweight can KO Wilder in 3. Only problem is there aren’t many of those about it. In any era between the 60’s and 2000’s, it’s doubtful that any of these guys would be champions, much less undefeated.

But even a deeply average Joshua will dismantle him and the mystique around Wilder dies there and then.

You’re somewhere close to being on the money. It’s nigh on pointless having these discussions, though it is enjoyable to a degree.

Sooner we get to stage in HW boxing where it’s winner takes all, the better because there isn’t enough artistry in the division to entertain from that perspective, so we need to compensate with high stakes.

GGG vs Dopelo (1st fight) should be the benchmark for AJ vs DW. If GGG got 30% for the first fight, then Wilder def. shouldn't get more than that.
Even 30% for DW would be too generous.
Reasons: - GGG 3 belts, DW just 1
- GGG is/was the bigger draw (US and worldwide) than DW.

Hearn keeps flapping his yap, but I've started to lose interest in
a potential Wilder-Joshua fight. The fight starts to become less
mouth watering when you realize that one of the fighters really
does not want to fight the other.

Yeah I know, Wilders such a let down.
