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

[Laligalaliga]

Enjoy the Dillian Whyte rematch, for you it will be like the thriller in manilla .......Hearn will tell you and you will listen!

Whyte rematch is X2 better than fighting a rehab patient. AJ will be fighting a live body and a warrior.

WBC, IVF what ever his name is , chicken noodles sprinkled with Wilder butt sauce

That must be a hell of a crack.

What part of the last four months do you not get or is it ....none of it?......$50 m and i'll sign tomorrow or let it marinade for another two years ...ffs......but Hearn is trying so hard......you mug.

I would have called you a ****** but for one reason. The HW match ups you watched, was it signed on twitter?

Barry's opinion don't matter in this fight if wilder had signed.

Stop looking for excuse where there is non. The stage is set again, I hope the other party don't come up with another excuse.

AJ needs that green belt to paint his name with the all time greats. That's the only reason he is accommodating all these rubbish.

I am a firm believer that you don't get things done by negotiating through the press, you get things done behind closed doors. This would be the former not the later.

At this moment in time it is not a big deal because there is not much that is going to happen behind closed doors so he is just being a promoter to make his man look good like he is trying to make something happen. IF he is really willing to deal it will show when the time is right, not when it is meaningless to really put out there.

Yes, that's kind of my point. When the negotiations get real, we'll hear less about them. I think it's great for them to be publicly transparent, because I believe that puts pressure on all parties involved.

Both Joshua and wilder have had contracts signed before another fight so hardly an argument. There is a huge marketing advantage to doing it. See Joshua klitschko after the Molina fight or fury wilder in Ireland for example.

You inadvertently made the same point I was making. Lots of wilder fanboys have come on he claiming it's a bogus offer etc without yet waiting for a response, etc and making an assumption. If, as hS now widely been circulated in the media, the offer is 35% with $20m guarantee that is not a bad deal for wilder. I doubt he will get more than that in his fight with fury? Would they make a $40 mil profit (not revenue)?

Joshua has already made clear he will have the fight in the U.K. Only - not based on financials. This is the same as other American stars have dictated in the past when they were the a side. So wilder will, if he wants to step up, have to agree to those terms. Even with a win over fury it's pretty unlikely that will change.

Joshua has other options; Whyte in April, Ortiz, Miller.", Chinese guy or usyk end of 2019 all viable options. He has already indicated that fight he wants to be outside U.K. (Not in unification vs wilder) so it looks increasingly likely I think will either be april or 2020.

It really doesn't matter if Wilder had a fight signed before his next fight, because 1) he has over 40 fights so as I said, it's extremely rare, 2) the fury fight is huge, and decreases the priority of making a deal for the AJ, fight, 3) I dont remember a single fight that Wilder had already signed ahead of a current opponent, please tell me what fight that was.

I don't know how you figured I made an inadvertent point. My point was directed to you. Not AJ or Wilder fan boys. So your defense is it's ok for you to make assumptions with out knowing the details because they do it?

My point still stands. If Wilder decided he didn't want to negotiate because he wanted to focus on Fury, anybody who considers that ducking or avoiding is obviously biased.

Brandon Rios is a huge fight? Lol, can't make this shieet up!

For Sam Eggington it is

At what point did he decide he wants to concentrate on Fury though?

this week or last? because last week finkel was saying he would be happy to meet on the 6th or 7th if the offer was valid. The offer is widely reported and seems to be a very good deal, but only now are they concentrating on fury.

Why not say in the interim, before the offer was sent... "dont send us an offer at all now, we're concentrating on fury" ?

Fury is now only worthy of being concentrated on after his theatrics and circus abilities of the last 3 days? so he wasnt worthy of being concentrated on before these press conferences, but yet it was "the best heavyweight fight in the division"

It's all one contradiction after the other lol

This tells me they made him a bs offer to begin with. They don’t want to fight wilder

What tells you !The percentage offer they made now? So the offer they sent now confirms that they don’t want the fight?.... How did you come at that conclusion out of curiosity?

If they were serious they never would have threw out a crap offer.
