Comments Thread For: Hearn Makes "Improved" Wilder-Joshua Offer, Asks For Meeting

[MELLOMAN007]

Wilder team has a big fight on his hands with fury, if he wins his stock goes up even more beating him why negotiate a fight for April before the outcome of his fight in December locking into a financial split that will be tailored to favor Joshua side the most? Just wait until after dec 1st and talk then in good faith to give us fans the fight we really want to see

Exactly! Hearn is up to his shady tactics again. He said himself that Wilder would become the A-side if he gets 1 million ppv buys. It should be common sense to not negotiate until the outcome is known.

You also mentioned Good Faith, and Eddie has not been negotiating in good faith.

The fans need to keep hammering Hearn about ducking Wilder.

Don't let up.

Wow...what timing Hearn has. Hard to take this serious, but at the same time he is making Wilder and Fury bigger names by associating them with AJ....

If it was just this, I’d be inclined to agree. But he’s been selling woof tickets for months now.

Both sides are to blame in some form or another and unfortunately, in this day and age, the blame will almost always go to the “b side”.

At this point might as well sit back and enjoy the s hit show and hope none lose...though Fury winning would make things very interesting and at least get rid of all this back and forth.

Hearn is getting desperate. Finkel doesn’t feel the need to jump just because conceited Eddie feels the need to talk about an offer he can’t proudly publicly promote or proclaim!! Whyte will get his next flailing failing effort against Rich Posh Josh, Hearn will “promote” how dangerous Whyte is now for having already been in the ring with his malfunctioning robot, the fan-girls will eat it up, delirious once again with Android Mania!!...Josh will continue on the JUICE, dominate heavyweight boxing in the United Kingdom and offer free workouts for the elderly....Lennox will shake his head when seeing construction workers mid-way building Joshuas museum in Trafalgar Square, stating “I cant believe it!”...

LMAO Best comment i've seen today!

I disagree. Wilder’s side has made errors during negotiations but I don’t doubt their want as far as making the fight. Eddie Hearn doesn’t want the fight. Not now, anyway. We can agree to disagree on this as I have no interest in going back and forth on it.

So if Wilder accepts this offer the fight happens in April right?

[Scipio2009]

Wilder won his belt off Stirverne who won the also VACANT belt against Arreola (considered a bum by everyone). Stirverne had previously been knocked out by someone called Demetrice King (5'11 with a record of 15 wins and 20 losses) and Wilder couldn't even knock Stiverne out the first time, so Stiverne is a bum.

Only noticeable defense is Ortiz, who is beleived to be way older than 36 and even IF he was 36 he is still past prime which he never has done anything with to prove himself as a top guy unlike Povetkin, Klitschko and both Parker and Whyte have better resumes as well. Wilders way worse considering that is the story with 'context' for 40 fights.

Don't throw stones in glass houses.

Stiverne loss was in his 13th professional fight; following that, Stiverne went something like 12-0-1, was the WBC Silver champion and rated #1 by the WBC, and was basically seen by everyone as a top 5, if not top 3 heavyweight fighter in the sport.

Again, there's no need to lie.

Eric Molina, Joseph Parker, Dominic Breazeale, Carlos Takam, Dillian Whyte, etc are all about the same level of fighters, with Charles Martin and Gerald Washington both being below that, and and Povetkin/Klitschko/Ortiz being above that.

Any objective look at the resumes of Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua would have then basically equal with the Povetkin fight, with Wilder's first three years as a pro coming in the kind of learning fights that Anthony Joshua basically picked up by fighting on an actual national boxing team, with the national coaches (Rob McCracken in particular) schooling him.

I'm sorry Edward but it's too late now. We're watching Wilder/Fury. You had the entire 2018 calendar year in order to make a Wilder/Joshua fight happen but failed to deliver. So all my best for the Whyte/Joshua bout on April 13, 2019.

Can’t argue with that. Hearn is definitely not in as big hurry but only cuz the gettin’ is already good money wise for him and AJ so I could see why he’s not rushing ... I guess. Problem is that Wilder is only going to get better and the better fights he’s in, the more he learns.

Really, Wilder is the one who benefits the longer the fight doesn’t go on imo.
