Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder Must Agree Now, We Won't Wait Until Fury Fight!

[JWHardin]

Sign the contract deontay, sign the contract....

What Contract? Has Hearn sent a new revised contract? What is the offer? Flat fee again? Duh

Wilder just signed a contract to fight someone that actually has a pair.

AJ can fight his stable fighters over and over. No one cares.

[IMDAZED]

Bbbbbut they’re both to blame for the fight not happening.

[Illmatic94]

Dillian Shyte is the planned opponent all along. i aint falling for the bullshit.

AJuice dont want no smoke.

The stupidity and lies of the Hearns are so obvious .They are greedy sick liars who are doing a Chris Eubank all over again admittedly on a bigger platform but nothing has changed with them otherwise.Old idiot Hearn even came clean and said Joshua v Wilder should marinade for two years .....and that is their obvious plan .How on earth could Wilder commit to a fight now and finalise any real deal at this stage .Like I say the Hearns are sick greedy bastards who ultimately are depriving the boxing public of the truth and fights we want ....

Barry Hearn has just said Warren will stop Tyson v A.J. ever happening because he will demand too much money ....Warren and Tyson have always stated the fight should be a split 50/50...I unlike the Hearns don't see that as a problem it will gross more than any other in history.They are pair of wankers , that's for sure.

Eddie Hearn is full of shit! He don't want the Wilder fight. Hell even AJ was hedging on fighting Wilder when he was confronted by the SKY sports interviewer. He said he was going to allow the fans to select his next opponent. He sounds just like a man with no self-confidence. If he was really eager and keen to fight Wilder like a former broken Tyson Fury is, then it would have been the first name to come out of his mouth.

Joshua was stunned and getting beat 4-2 by Sasha. Wilder will hurt and drop him.

The Americans need to put pressure on their cowardly cherry picking champion to fight AJ.

[Butch.McRae]

He made a number of statements that are interesting at this presser:
1. Wilder v. Joshua is bigger than Vlad v. Joshua;
2. We know the money is bigger on the US; and
3. We're not willing to wait on the outcome of the fight in December.

These statements are all contradictory and revealing for a numbers of reasons.

1. He's been quoted on the past saying Wilder didn't deserve 50/50 (although that's what Vlad got). And that Wilder was "unknown" and needed to fight Wyhte for exposure;
2. He's been quoted saying that the money in the US couldn't be known and that the UK market was the more logical location for the fight; and
3. He's been talking about mandatories but AJ said it a few times yesterday (and can be seen by looking at the current rankings) that there won't be a mandatory due.

All of this makes me believe that Hearn absolutely wants to get the April date filled before Wilder v. Fury because:
1. He doesn't want to risk that fight doing big business and making the UK location look silly; and
2. If Wilder beats Fury in emphatic fashion, his celebrity will explode in both countries and then there's a real question about who's the "A side."

Is AJoke turned down $50,000,00 guaranteed! All I need to know. Ortiz would beat him and so would Wilder

Ortiz would not beat Joshua.

He is a 40 year old man with no elite wins, no titles and barely any notable victories.

Nothing to suggest he beats a man who’s taller, heavier, younger, more active and has fought a higher standard of opposition in the last two years than Ortiz has in ten years as a pro.

The Ortiz myth is out of control.

[RoyJonesJrp4pno1]

Lol, that’s slimey as fuck!!! Wilder shouldn’t agree anything now. His leverage after beating Fury is the only way he deserves more than what’s on offer currently.

Actually they do have to move pretty fast on this to avoid any mandatory challengers being called.

Brezeale is owed WBC title fight which is scheduled to be called in December. The WBA is in a mess with the Fres Oquendo situation. So this needs to be signed as soon as possible if they want all of the titles on the line.
