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

[bluemax]

Too Bad!

This should be a 50-50 fight. After all Wilder has more knockouts that Joshua has fights! All this talk about Joshua being the better fighter is hog wash. Lets not forget his claim to fame is beating Klitchko who was 41 years old, already lost hand had not fought in over a year! Big deal! If Klitchko hadn't gassed out he would have finished Joshua . Hearn mocked Wilder, offered him peanuts if he was willing to come to Joshua's home arena and let Joshua's team control everything. makes you wonder What Hearn was afraid of! Now Wilder and Fury have given Joshua the middle finger and since there's no more money to be made fighting small past their prime contenders its either a greatly improved Whyte or Wilder to make some big money. Joshua is a good fighter but he's not anywhere near as good as his P.R. group is claiming. He's a loss waiting to happen and Hearn is trying to cash in before is becomes a reality

To use a more recent example, Ricky Hatton had a big money return match against Paulie lined up until he got KTFO in an unneeded tune up

Thanks Forgot about that one

There’s probably countless other examples as well

Planning 2 fights ahead is almost a surefire way to take a immediate L

When someone ****s you over once you don’t let them do it again. “Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me”!

Wtf are you on about? No one got screwed over they never made a deal or exchanged money. That's like saying hello to a girl in a club and saying she cheated on you when she goes home with another guy, honestly you're feckn delusional.

In my head that is how I’ve always expected him to fight.
He did it well against Chisora in their first fight

You’d want to get close to stop that right hand. But then Steve Bunce always talks about how Tyson showed him how he will beat Wlad. He literally just leaned back and said that’s how. But with Wilder’s speed and tentacle arms you’d think he’d not want to do that this time. Wilder will get to him

I remember seeing an IFL interview with Fury and Kugan Cassius, at Peter Fury's gym. Fury said he would show Kugan how he was going to beat Wlad, then he gave him a pair of gloves and got him into the ring.

Kugan is a big guy, around 6' 5" with a long, lanky build. But Fury just stood in front of him, leaned backwards with his chin tucked and his left arm extended and said, "Now try and hit me. Try as hard as you like, but you won't do it." Lol.

You can let Usyk beat Bellew, Chisora, even Whyte, but a Usyk-AJ fight will still not be bigger than a Wilder fight is now or after December 1st when an AJ-Wilder fight will be huge if he is coming off a KO of Fury.

All Usyk can contribute to promotion is a scary stare. Doesn't speak English. Plus Wilder will be very well known to British casuals after the Fury fight.

So you throwing out Usyk's name is just a red herring. It likely will never be a bigger fight than AJ-Wilder unless Usyk somehow got to Wilder first and beat him and that would be hysterical.

AJ will not be doing anything like the numbers he is now if he gets beaten. He'd have to rebuild and take a huge hit in viewers and earnings. He could come back but he'd lose 2/3 years of the astronomical earnings he ha now.

Don't underestimate the potential drawing power that Usyk could have at HW. He's learning English, but even without it, he's a charismatic and funny guy with an interesting "on camera" persona.

All his fights in the WBSS drew huge crowds, to the pressers and weigh ins, as well as the actual events. He's been a celebrity in his own country for years, and his popularity seems to spreading fast.

His profile in the UK has exploded over the last few months, and that's before he has even fought Bellew.

So to summarize

"Wilder has has more knockouts so hes a better fighter"

Okay 😂

And let's forgot Wilder's fight against Old Ortiz with blood pressure issues because "if he hadn't gassed he would have finished of Wilder" Wilders only step up to a top ten fighter. Wilder almost got knocked out by a self proclaimed Boogeyman that struggled to hand Dave Allen and Malik Scott after 39 fights.

AJ almost got took out by a former unified World champion probably go down as an ATG after only 19 fights and has fought top ten fighters since.

Lol Wilder fans saying AJ is crap because he hasn't done anything like Wilder has GTFOH.

You could say exactly the same thing about Wilder, except that he hasn't fought anybody close to the level of even a 41 yo Wlad, and he hasn't shown he has the ability to get off the floor and win a fight on pure heart, like AJ and Fury.

WILDER is smart for staying focused on the fight he has officially signed which is FURY. Tell HEARN to kick rocks and fight ORTIZ.

[Jax teller]

"Based on past interviews, Wilder's team is not interested in making a deal until after the Fury bout is concluded - and Hearn wants a deal in place prior to the December 1 contest with Fury."

They would be ****** to make the deal now! They have to wait and see how the fight does, and I'm talking revenue, and not the number of fans who attended! Team Wilder has 50 million reasons NOT to meet with Eddie Hearn!

Wilder doesn't get paid 50 million for not fighting AJ. He only gets paid for this fight if he takes the fight and it's probably gonna be his highest pay day.

I don't see how it hurts to have a meeting and get the ball rolling. Hearn and Finkel need to build some bridges if they're going to make the fight so starting now can only be beneficial to is fans.

I think Wilder should sack his team if they signed anything until after the fight with Fury though.
