Comments Thread For: Hearn Warns Team Wilder: Hurry Up, You Haven't Got Long

[Bronx2245]

Wilder's team is not going to make a move until those numbers come in from the Fury fight! That's the leverage he needs to get closer to 50% Also, there's no need to sign anything because if Wilder loses, I'm sure he will exercise a rematch clause and fight Fury again, but most likely in the UK! So Hearn can keep talking all he wants because no one is listening!

Give that American beggar that 20-25 % and get the fight made.

We get it Hearn. Your scared to put wilder in there to destroy juicesha. You will never make the fight because you and roid are cowards. Maybe Povetkin wins and fights wilder, since he is actually a man that isn’t gripped with fear!

I hope team Wilder continues to ignore the fool Hearn. Not only did they turn down $50 million plus backside revenue, they also had a guarantee of another $30 million plus for a rematch.

I hope Wilder puts a stipulation that AJ has to fight Ortiz and win or no fight. No more Whyte re-runs, or gatekeeper Delboy. Even big babyfat Miller would be better than that.

It's foolish to negotiate a fight while you have one right in front of you. AJ needs to focus on Povetkin.

Offering a fighter more money does not prove your bravery for a fight. Ideally you would want to offer as little as possible and hope they accept that’s how it works being an A side.

As much as I support Joshua I will agree they definitely were not keen in making the fight for this year but Team Wilder were not overly keen in signing the contract.

As of now there is not get out clause for Joshua in this he has to fight Wilder. No other fight will suffice. Although it would be nice just to hear a word from team Wilder just to say “ we are interested if you fix up” that way if Team AJ does sway the fight and fight Whyte I can throw away my AJ underpants

There's no need for talking to Hearn about April, when a date/venue for the Fury fight hasn't been announced yet! So if Hearn needs something signed soon, he might as well sign up Whyte now, and just continue saying "Wilder didn't want the fight!" That seems to be working for AJ...OVER THERE!

Now see, this is Hearns way of ducking the fight. Why would wilder sign now to fight AJ in April with a big fight looming and only make 15 million flat fee for fighting AJ because if wilder beats fury Hearn knows he will have to pay wilder a lot more than 15 million. Hearn will blame wilder for not signing and say wilder ducked AJ.

Biggest star in the heavyweight division is Tyson Fury.

The Wilder-Fury fight could tank on PPV and at the gate. That wouldn't improve Wilder's position at all.

you are correct but I think it will do respectable numbers. If wilder blast fury within say 5 rds that alone will give wilder a case for making more than 15 million. I just think it’s crazy that Hearn is trying to pressure him into signing now with the fury fight ahead and a chance for wilder to make more $$. No food fighter signs another contract for any opponent with a big fight in front of them.

Fury has better tv #s than AJ. Wilder beating Fury makes him the A side vs AJ.
