Warren was asked for his expertise on what the UK rights were worth, so Finkel could make sure Sky didn't try to short change him. Wilder's side was totally fine with the fight being on Sky as long as Sky was offering market value. Why would they want to go with BT over Sky when Sky is the more popular and dominant service? But you can't give AJ his promised 50 million without trying to maximize revenue in the UK. If Sky automatically gets the rights no matter what, why incentive does Sky have to make a competitive offer?

Definitely i agree! I think it'll be a good fight if they ever Fight but right now i favor Wilder
I think he'll catch AJ with them windmills he throws and it be interested to see how AJ reacts..
Cause we all know that Wilder is one of the best at finishing his opponents once they're hurt...
AJ is 29 years old with 22 fights.
Wilders best window is now. In 2-3 years ill favor AJ if he keeps winning and growing. Hearn know this like anyone else with a brain does.Comment

No clue!!! Even Dam Rafeal said the offer was legit. If they gave Al Haymon a Billion or whatever Im sure $50 million is chump change.Comment

Wilder is 34 years old. They want to marinate this fight for 2-3 more years when theyve made over $100million off of AJ and then do the Wilder fight for $50 million ++ with a rematch clause when hes on the other side of 35.Comment

Are you calling Hearn ******, too?
Gervonta Davis has the likely next fight with Abner Mares; the dates will be sorted out in the next little while. After that, Davis likely has one more fight for the year.
If Farmer wants to fight Gervonta Davis, it'll be where Floyd wants it, regardless of what money Eddie Hearn wants to offerComment

Not most man, everything i said is accurate!
Now i understand AJ is the A side and he wants to fight in his home country and he's earned that since he's the A side but it does make him look bad by requesting the $50 million and then turning it down.
I don't believe neither AJ or Wilder are afraid of each other. They fight for a living, they are both warriors.
But i do think Eddie Hearn doesn't have as much confidence in AJ when it comes to fighting Wilder.
I really do believe that.
So i blame Eddie for the fight not happening, not AJ.Comment

Not all of what you said was accurate. Wilder's team never came up with the money. But you already know that. Wilder never had and still doesn't have any intentions of fighting Anthony Joshua any time soon. But you already knew that also. Wilder has pretty much lol admitted as much out of his own mouth. Wilder fans have all joined in on the publicity stunt. So I don't expect any of y'all to be rational about this. Just keep cheering on the games of media one upmanship and pray for a miracle with the ppv sells for Wilder vs Fury. At this point that's the best any of us can hope for.
What more do you want?Comment

More reason for Wilder to be negotiating more reasonably and making meetings if he's nearly over the hill, unless he only cares about getting the maximum money from the fight and not winning/legacy. You can only play with the hand you've been given.Comment
