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

[Scipio2009]

Just so that we're clear, the deal for the Povetkin fight happened with less than three months to the event, yet Eddie Hearn had nothing to say then.

Sky Box Office was in how many homes in the UK, but I doubt that anywhere near 400k people tuned in to watch the matinee airings of the fight in the US.

No mention of a possible split on the event, no even side mention of a resolution to this TV split, and now Hearn is insisting on having a signed deal with 7 months to the proposed date? lol

Wilder's camp and Fury's camp worked out a deal that worked for them, both camps are working together to make the fight as big as possible (date nailed down with final event location being bid up, press tour set for both sides of the Atlantic, Showtime and FOX/FS1 likely pushing the fight over their general sports portfolios, with BT Sport/BoxNation doing the same thing for their boxing content, and both camps sharing in the upside).

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

Do you mean the HBP patient?

You make some valid points and some not so. Prior to the Klitschko fight Joshua was a popular fighter but Wembley stadium being filled was a joint effort . If not for the Klitschko fight and Joshua winning in emphatic style he would not be so popular. That fight even got the attention of some Americans who were unaware of Joshua at the time.

Now there is no doubt Joshua through every fight has got bigger and bigger both Commercially and what he generates per fight.

At the time of facing Klitschko he was the bigger name globally and although it was 50/50 Klitschko got the preferential treatment . They were basically paying him for the opportunity of having him on their resume.

Wilder is just as big in his own right but because it is well documented what he earns per fight he is not the draw. History shows AJ can fight moderate opponents and still fill 78,000 seater stadiums . Unquestionably Wilder brings the unpredictability and no other opponent can generate AJ the amount of money Wilder is capable of but he still doesn’t deserve 50/50.

Even if he beats Fury he will not be the A side however if PPV figures are through the roof( which I doubt) then you have a very good point.

I am however beginning to see Hearn’s contradictions which is very very worrying as an AJ fan

I get what you're saying here, however I think we can agree times have changed on the purse split.

But to my broader point, I'm just bothered with how freely and confidently he made these comments. He acts as if we don't have hours of comments with him contradicting these remarks lol

After what I saw Saturday, I don't even think AJ can beat Ortiz... so even less Wilder.

agree now wilder you coward!!! 5...4...3...2...1...

Unless Hearn has some weird contract with AJ, AJ can over ride Hearn and make the fight!
They are very concerned about them getting a loss on their record as if it cancels out his drawing power!
The "undefeated fighter" hype has distorted the ability to make match ups.

The biggest draw in the business has a loss and a draw on his record. Both are from championship bouts, it doesn't effect his earning power.

What is Wilder agreeing to? The fight or the pay, lmao???

[Jkp]

AJoke is his real name or Always Juicing

Got to get those fight dates booked way in advance so he can compete his steroid cycle.

Got to fight only in UK close to his secret "nutrition" team that manage his cycles.

[apollocreed]

Haha! The smaller the brain, the easier it is

Tyson Fury vs Wilder .....evens that is a big fat lie. Unluckily for you I run an online betting site so it’s my job to know all the prices of fights.

The shortest odds for Wilder is 1/2 and the best price being 4/5.
The shortest odds for Fury is 1/1 with the best price 11/7

William hill, coral and ladbrokes price Wilder at 8/11 with Tyson being 11/10

You are based in the U.K. so I don’t know where you got that evens price...... lying just to give your argument substance is not worth it but honestly it’s my job to know such things✌🏿

lol.......Wouldn't you say these odds are shorter than the 1/9 on .You missed the point whilst trying to be clever.
