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

[Bronx2245]

Fury hasn’t a hold on the entire African continent as AJ and Wilder do. Though you have a point but shall I tell you the most disrespectful and disgraceful thing to come out of these negotiations is an American having the nerve to discuss football with an Englishman and referring to it as soccer and assuming I would know what you are talking about. It doesn’t get more disrespectful than that

Hahahaha! My bad, football, with a lower case "f" distinguishing it from the more manly sport played in the United States! Lol!

“But Joshua and Hearn are a pack of ****houses. They've no bottle, no heart and no guts.

“I'm taking this fight to prove to the British public what they are – ****houses.

“They're on form, he has had no time off, he's world champion and he's supposed to be the golden boy of British boxing.

“But I've had to come out of retirement to put British boxing back on the map because at the minute we are a laughing stock. The whole of America is laughing at us.

“It takes the Gypsy King to come out after three years to beat the best fighter out there.”

With Floyd-Pacman 2 happening in December, the Casinos in Las Vegas turning down the fight, Wilders team need to be contacting Hearn for April. This Fury fight was a fun marketing strategy and all but it isn't as big as they thought it was.

[Scipio2009]

He's got a point. If they had any interest in negotiating for April and the next slot is November / December but the IBF mandatory is coming through and they are the least flexible.

He's said he's will to renegotiate so talk, if Wilder doesn't like the offer don't take it. Given they have a stadium booked Wilder would have a far stronger hand for April than later.

$15m for the fight is dead and clearly nothing that Wilder/Haymon/Finkell are even willing to sideways look at at this point.

Wilder has made his conditions clear after the ****ery that was the first negotiation after Hearn realized that he'd been outfoxed.

If Hearn has a new offer, send it.

true. Oh well but i can visualise fly emirates using a snippet Of Fury sleeping on the canvas after Wilder windmills him for their worldwide air miles campaign. What’s more embarrassing?

[PotentialToast]

There is a lot of disrespect to Wilder on this thread. The truth is, he is well known in the UK by obviously boxing fans but also keen sports fans (or the casuals). Perhaps more so that in the US. The black / white issues he raised with Hearn milking did himself no favours. Last time I saw AJ fight, it was a very mixed and integrated crowd. I acknowledge that the US has issues that we don't in the UK. I look forward to seeing him fight top quality opposition as his skill has improved and he has truely spectacular power. Fury's skill is amazing. AJ is rounded and excellent in all departments. This is a golden age of heavyweight boxing as we have 3 guys with legitimate claims to be the best. Money will dictate they fight and we will be better for it.

Joshua is fighting in April. He wants to fight Wilder. Hearn therefore needs to be in dialogue with Team Wilder.

Team Wilder are not replying simply because they know that if they miss the April date, AJ will be forced to fight his IBF and WBO mandatories and then they can use that as an excuse and play PR games again, just like when AJ was obligated to make the Povetkin fight for the WBA.

Those are the facts.

Why do you say that? Let’s say he is lying why not call him on his bluff.......

Good Morning Mr Hearn as you can appreciate we have a forthcoming fight in December but if successful we are more than happy to unify but to save us all the back and forth we will only sit down if we are guaranteed a percentage if not good luck with your future endeavours.

What is the big deal in simply doing that. You can’t bury your head in the sand and expect your fans to argue your case. Wilder is fighting Fury he is a fighter he is handling his business in the ring. His team are supposed to map out his future can they not be professional? They are given Eddie an excuse to go elsewhere and you will be the first to complain. You obviously want the fight to happen so why are you promoting the silent treatment?

They already said that they wouldn't accept the current deal on the table. Further, why does team Wilder have to state the obvious to Hearn.

If he had said that he had sent and improved offer and that they hadn't responded I think that there will be some substance to what he said.

So you think Hearn asking them what they want for an April fight us unsubstantial?

It's a significant part of trying to put a fight together only one side is not playing ball.

Unless I'm missing something all Hearn said was that they haven't replied. Well the last transmission that he made was the 15M flat fee offer, which received a public reply.

At what point did Hearn send an email asking what terms Wilder wanted for the fight? Where did Hearn even say he did such a thing?

I don’t want to use the same old Auction analogy but If you have not even made yourself available to the auctioneer you can’t complain if it goes to another bidder. It’s not Hearn’s job to put in another bid. It’s for them to come to the table and state their worth.
