Comments Thread For: Wilder's Manager Doubts Joshua Fight Will Happen in 2019

[Noelanthony]

You won't have to worry about negotiations breaking down this time because Whyte will be signed before December 1st!

Or is it because Wilder is scheduled to fight Fury twice.? I recall you actually campaigned for it so you are a very happy Wilder fan as we speak( fury and Wilder)

That’s cool .....

Tell me why the **** did he give fury a rematch in his contract

He’s gonna be tied up for at least 10 months so all this posturing from Finkel is absolute bollocks

I'm not sure. It's called negotiating to get the fight made I guess. Hearn should think about it. Fury, like it or not is still the Linear champ.

If Wilder gave AJ basically everything, being the B side, including a flat fee offer as long as the fight was this year, after offering AJ the biggest purse guaranteed in history, you would think Hearn could have at least let them fight this year. But no he came up with the mandatory BS. Any fool can see they had no intention of fighting Wilder this year. Now it has backfired, and they are doing more damage control.

Wilder is in a position where he doesn't have to agree to anything. Soon more and more people will feel like I do, that who cares if the fight even happens. Sick of the lies and ******ity.

X7 of regular is huge enough to make this fight.... One is just being too greedy and jealous.

Why is it greedy? Particularly considering per Hearn it's the biggest fight in British boxing history. It's not the biggest just because of Joshua. So why take less than 20% of that big pot. Why take less when Hearn himself said he should get more if he beats Fury?

Doesn't the rematch clause have an out for fighting Joshua?

Haven’t read the contract but going off what frank said both have a rematch clause Even though fury has no belts or clout

So no matter what the outcome we ain’t getting a Joshua fight April

Seems like a daft business move by wilders team unless they don’t want the fight but I’m sure in your eyes that will be hearns fault

40% for someone who has no ppv record and has never fought in front of 15k spectators before. Whose money will they pay him with?

A % of the gate and PPV sales. Parker got 33%. Wilder is not worth 40% assuming he beats Fury and is now also the linear champion? Remember Hearn said he is negotiating with the assumption Wilder wins. It's not rocket science. Just fair negotiating, assuming they want the fight to happen. Even at a 50/50 deal it would still be AJ's highest payday....but hell, its not about the money right? The $80 million guaranteed over two fights offer from team Wilder was turned down, and that was guaranteed even if Wilder won the first.

So if Fury rematch clause allows Wilder to fight Joshua first then it's not a daft move but rather a smooth one. Granted..I haven't read the contract either, I just know that rematch clauses can and often do have conditions.

It’s not backfired ..... wilder has signed a two fight deal to block the fight you dafty

It’s not gonna help any negotiations because we are talking nearly a year down the line

[EnglishOxide]

Wilder doesn't want the fight until 2020, if he beats Fury twice.

Let's move on. Joshua will move on and continue cleaning out.

Whyte, Miller and Hughie/Pulev winner next for AJ.

In my view, if Wilder has a two way rematch clause requiring him to fight Fury even in a win, then Hearn and Finkel have played the best shell game I have seen in a while.
