In this case, there IS no clear A side.
The match can be in Britain promoted by Hearn or in the US promoted by Finkel/Haymon.
A 50M guarantee would not be given only to allow Hearn to be the principal promoter, don't be foolish.
And I trust you are now convinced you have zero rebuttal to the fact that it was a valid offer.
Ask yourself this: Why would guys involve in every successful 100M dollar fight since 2007 have a problem anteing up 50M?
The answer is, they wouldn't.
Everyone in boxing knows the 50M was legit.
Hearn really had no choice to cast aspersions at it because if he didn't he would have to give a better answer as to why he and AJ turned it down.
It's the same reason Hearn is throwing all types of shade at the Fury-Wilder fight, talking about tickets not sold or how bad it is going to do as far as PPV buys.
I got news for you.
The fight (along with other PBC events) was advertised at EVERY NFL GAME YESTERDAY DURING THE HOLIDAY.
Hundreds of millions saw them. Millions now know about the ALL ACCESS too.
Should the Dec 1 fight do as well as I think it will, any thoughts of AJ being an A side based on money are going to be done with that night.
