Deontay Wilder Talks Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, and Trashes Eddie Hearn

[Laligalaliga]

Eddie Hearn is lying to you. He wouldn't have been stripped. Unification trumps mandatory. Wilder was willing to sign that week. Over a week later, Povetkin still hadn't signed. There was plenty of time. Hearn simply didn't want the fight next.

And why would he want it next? Hearn is a very intelligent and accomplished promoter? Why do the 2 to 1 fight first instead of the 20 to 1 fight first? Makes way more sense to do the safer fight first.

He should have signed if he was interested in the fight. Why waste plenty of time after contract was sent.
Wilder is in no position to be rejecting contracts.
That was the 2nd offer from match room after the first was rejected and tagged low ball.
Wilder all along has been eyeing unfit fury for his selfish gain.

[N/A]

Come on man, it was nonsense. They were never going to send over Wilder to fight on DAZN, whilst they had 2 huge deals in the pipeline. Same with Hearn sending his most valuable commodity to fight with rivals. The wars on, noones giving an inch to the other.

They believed Hearn was bluffing. So they called his bluff. Had Hearn kept his word and been willing to do the fight next, Espinoza had given his blessing for it to take place on DAZN, if the rematch, in the event Wilder won, took place on SHO PPV.

One of the reasons there was such a rush to get the AJ fight next is because the new TV contracts would make it much tougher to put Wilder on DAZN, whereas if the fight had taken place before December, there was nothing contractual stopping it.
