Comments Thread For: Hearn Frustrated: Deontay Wilder's Team Refusing To Meet

[Noelanthony]

Hearn is trying to grab headlines and ruin the Wilder-Fury fight.

BOTH wilder and fury tried to get AJ fights and AJ didnt want to play ball so they fought each other instead and now AJ is on the sidelines.

lol @ thinking Wilder will signing a deal with him before his fight with Fury. If Wilder wins big, his stock rises, if its a competitive exciting fight, he can rematch Fury.

Rematch Fury again... why?? Was Ortiz fight not exciting you don’t see him rematching Ortiz. What do you fans really want for your champion?? Can’t you set your sights higher?...... speak and you shall receive...... No, think big and you shall be big

Hearn is an idiot for thinking that people don’t know what he’s up to.

The biggest fight in heavyweight boxing is on 1st of Dec and it’s best for Hearn to have the decency to wait for that fight to be over before he initiates any proper negotiations.

lol keep telling yourself that.

If Fury had looked good in either of his comeback fights I would be picking him to win, but he hasn't and I won't ... it's an attempted cherry-pick by Finkel to further boost their claim for Wilder being the no1 HW without actually having faced the fighter that has all the other belts.

Does anyone reasonable actually believe Hearn at this stage?

Same people who still think Mikey wants to fight Spence

But a Whyte rematch is a big seller though?

No one wants the Whyte rematch, nobody is campaigning for it even though they fought years ago but you have fans of Wilder excited that there will be a rematch with Fury

Funny how Joshua's team didn't want to meet when Joshua had a fight coming up but they want wilder to negotiate a fight while he's preparing to fight the lineal heavyweight champion. This is another cheap attempt by Hearn to pretend he wants to make the fight, he'll go in another direction and say, hey we tried and they refused to meet. And idiot Joshua fans will buy it.

It's getting a little tiring listening to them go back and forth through the press. Shut up or make some progress.

Hearn needs to be chasing fury. Fury will beat wilder

[elfag]

No one knows what the offer is , but negotiation taking place for anfuture fight when you have the biggest fight of your career ahead of you rarely if never take place

A fighter can’t take their eye off the prize that’s ahead of them that’s how they lose ( Zab Judah vs Baldomir)

But what if Wilder wins and is now the lineal And longest reigning champ and what if the fight is a off the charts financial success, Surely Wilders team has way more leverage then before the fight happend. If Hearn wants the fight next wait until Dec 2 until then he needs to promote that heaping pile of d.ogsh.it that coming up on DAZN that no one gives a f.uck about and going h2h against UFC biggest fight in years

That plus a few differences:

1. Judah was lineal, a big favorite and baldomir was just a mandatory defense

2. Judah was expected to win and his stock wouldnt have really changed post fight, with baldomir being relatively unknown.

3. Nobody was going to want to see a baldomir-judah rematch over Floyd-Judah.

All of those factors made it "safer" yet it was still a bad idea to setup the floyd fight before he fought baldomir.

With Wilder it makes even way less sense for him to negotiate a with AJ a month out from his Fury fight than it would for typical situations.

So Finkel refusing to play ball in the build up to Wilder's fight after wanting Hearn to do the same while AJ was training for a different fight himself. I know he's not doing anything that Hearn didn't but jesus christ; pot, meet kettle. Fed up of the blame game, I'm on AJ's side but can see at least some blame all round.
The only way this'll get resolved is if they conduct negotiations via live feed to the public, in a similar format to a televised political debate. One big table with Hearn, AJ and McCraken on one side; Finkel, Wilder and his coach on the other. Have the camera crews for as many different networks there as possible, so that there can be absolutely no doubt to the fans of these fighters as to what exactly has transpired. Nobody leaves until a contract is signed and sealed by all parties, or until one side publicly withdraws.
All a bit dramatic I know but it'll be something different to the pantomime build up to Wilder-Fury, which is too much like build up for Mayweather-McGregor for my liking.
