Comments Thread For: Hearn: Deontay Wilder Not a PPV Star; Talks With His Team Better

[allen23]

Hearn is such a good manipulator it's almost funny,he says AJ usually does around 10 million us dollars at the gate knowing damn well that's about 7 million pounds in euros,he plays on words and semantics and the idiots eat it up,he scared as hell of a wilder fury rematch and the numbers it might do,he even trying to manipulate fury talking about he should ask for more,but wilder should just take what he gives right?the guy is hilarious

well said. Hearn is a master manipulator constantly putting out false figures and misleading qoutesw to suit his agenda. The man is terrified of Fury/Wilder rematch as he knows it will do massive PPV figures, this brand he talks about is already damaged as a result of the first fight he needs to let Joshua off the leash now to save further humiliation

Funny, Hearn is not heeding his own words. He said he was going to be quiet this time around. Then in the next sentence he's talking s hit about the Wilder team. Seems like he's just dropping sound bites for AJ fan boys to lap up and high five over.

Why did he have to lie about Wilder's team not responding to the offer? They did. Their response was "talk to us after the fight, as we feel like we'll be worth more than what you offered".

does this guy ever stop??????????? gee wiz, yes aj is the a side at HW but other fighters have buzz and wilder/fury was a success. Wilder fury are having a rematch that will have even more buzz and buys, let it go hearn, move on

It almost seems like Team Joshua would rather make less money than allow other fighters get a larger share. I keep hearing, 'We're not going to give so-and-so blah de blah amount!' even if it means leaving money on the table for themselves. These accountants are obsessed with their percentages.

Fa$t £ddie's greed is without doubt ridiculous. If the Wilder fight can't be made with a 50% split at Wembley in April, then forget it for now & send AJ to MSG to take on Miller/Ortez, while Wilder/Fury II takes place in the UK. Then the best option is for the 2 winners to take on each other in a 50% contest on neutral ground later in the year. "Greed is killing our sport & the sport should be bigger then the promoter's"!!...

Eddie is being Eddie. The guy is full of *****. He constantly plays to the media. He talks a game of willingness, but always leaves behind a trail of bread crumbs in the form of excuses of why the fight might not happen. Timelines, Venues etc...

How about just sitting down and working on the fight instead of trying to pressure opposition to get it done fast. That will not happen because he already has opponents lined up not named Wilder or Fury.

what was AJ's usa ppv numbers again?

[allen23]

Um.. pretty sure he dropped that gypsy like a ten ton blubber filled whale..

knockdowns dont equate to winning a fight...8/10 rounds and no more

[bigjavi973]

I was a wilder fan but not anymore. He lost against fury.

I would like Hearn for once to be quiet. Just to get this over the line. Stop insulting people and crushing their egos because right now Wilder and especially Fury are in a good place. Just play nice until Wilder signs then we can talk about how much Baby oil we will massage on to AJ so Wilder’s right hand malfunctions.

Exactly, Fury and Wilder are in a good place. Hearn is a nuisance right now. Put the bottle down and stop patronising people.

Ok Hearn, now tell everyone how British ppv is $25 a pop and American is $75, don't just talk about how many ppv units. Fast Eddie and his silver tongue..

Don't come back here to tell us boxing is a niche sport in the state after over pricing the ppv.
You can't eat your cake and have it.
