Comments Thread For: Hearn: If Team Wilder Want Joshua - Why Won't They Reply?

[LetOutTheCage]

According to Frank Warren, Wilder vs Fury is a done deal, 100% finalised for later this year, and he is just waiting for Finkel to tell him the date and venue.

Fair enough, hopefully these things will be sorted shortly.

That's nice to know, but f**k AJ! I hope Wilder vs. Fury is as good as Canelo vs. GGG!

So do I!

But unfortunately, no matter how good the fight is, it won't get anything like as many viewers in the US.

You mean the 50million reasons that won't be there without AJ?

Neither Wilder nor Fury will earn $50million fighting each other. I'll be astonished if they share half that amount between them.

True indeed, AJ is the cash king, but Wilder would be a fool to EVER offer AJ $50 million guaranteed again! AJ spit in his face, and then b***h-slapped him with a flat-fee offer! Time to move on! I hope Team Wilder doesn't even respond to Hearn in the media, much less his phone calls, or e-mails! It's all about Fury right now! He has the talent and the personality to make this a big event!

True again, Wilder is not as big as Canelo! No one is, except Mayweather! However, that doesn't mean you need to allow yourself to be disrespected by Joshua!

Cant believe Im actually rooting for PEDvetkin to stop this nonsense before it REALLY gets out of control...

You can kiss goodbye to any hope of seeing the HW division unified in the next few years if that happens!

Its not unusual to negotiate prior to an coming fight and they don't have to sign a contract or even agree to anything. Hearn will ideally looking to have sorted Joshuas next fight by December given he's fighting April 13th I suspect were not getting a Wilder fight. Judging by the fact they are not picking up the phone I suspect they have a late date for Fury and no interest in fighting Joshua in April no matter the split etc.

If Wilder loses its presumably a rematch anyway.

Why the hell would they negotiate now for April, when they have no idea what their position will be after the Fury fight?

What network is Wilder on? AJ is tied to DAZN and Sky so the only chance of him fighting Wilder is if Wilder’s team let him fight on DAZN.

To be honest, Fury is going to KO Wilder in the mid rounds and that will be the last we hear of this

I think it makes more sense for Team Wilder to beat Fury first. There is NO denying that after beating Fury, they have more leverage when they come back to the table. The issue for me is after beating Fury, the Joshua-Wilder fight would become soooo big that April 2019 is too short to promote/maximise the potential of that fight. Joshua would have to move off that “April 2019” date.

It’s not happening on DAZN either.

These idiots are some special kind of clowns
