Comments Thread For: Hearn: Very Disappointing if Joshua-Wilder Pushed Back To 2020

[OldTerry]

I remember one article in this site before the first fight of Wilder vs Fury when Eddie Hearns said he was going to give Wilder 50/50 If they pull off 1 million PPV. What I don't remember what number of PPV Eddie Hearns said to make a 60/40 in favor of Joshua. Anyway, we have to wait the results of the rematch, the revenue and that is depending the location they are going to choose for the rematch. I still feel that a 60/40 is fair in favor of Joshua.

I said that the A side Joshua is going to still want the first fight in UK don't matter what in the post.

What you say is reasonable. There should be a clause in the contract that says the 60/40 split is flipped if Wilder wins the fight. That would be absolutely fair. The first fight can still happen after Fury and Wilder fight their rematch.

I don't see Wilder leaving america with that belt. I don't think he doesnt want the fight. He just doesn't want it outside of america. If that Fury fight was anywhere outside of the americas Wilder wouldn't have that belt by now.

WRONG. Wilder was schedule to fight povetkin in Moscow, before povetkin got done for PEDS. Do some research before making dumb comments.

Let's pretend that your question was directed to me. This would be my answer: I remember all the frustration and BS coming from Hearn when all of us Wilder fans wanted the AJ fight. Eddie and many of AJ fans would ridicule us and Eddie would have AJ fight another chump. When Wilder decided to fight Fury I thought that was great and figured to hell with AJ (because of Hearn). Wilder is in the driver's seat now and Fury is sitting next to him and they will fight their rematch no matter how many tantrums and hissy fits Hearn throws their way. It's our turn now and AJ and Hearn can just wait, just like they made Wilder wait.

Old Terry I actually like you and although I don’t know you your posts suggests to me you do at least try and have an open mind. ( yes I forgiven you for suggesting ***** was gay and had several gay experience. I realised you Americans have a very creative and vivid imagination and you guys regularly see flying saucers and UFO) However, you are totally convinced it was all Hearn’s fault. For me personally I will concede I do believe Hearn was procrastinating and Wilder was very keen but I don’t think his team were as keen as him and as business men why would they? They too dragged their feet.

At present I can’t argue with what Wilder chooses to do but his fans can’t have it both ways complaining that Joshua takes easy touches or is scared when you can see he really wants the fight. Watch the boxing voice and give me your interpretation of the latest developments

Haymon lost the bidding war. However, I don’t think Wilder has ever stepped foot in Russia he was in England and didn’t even bother to wait for the B sample he just flew straight back to the states. His irrational actions resulted in him having to pay 2 million pound. At that sage he had never made that sum of money in a fight so he didn’t run home because he was scared but nobody can say he was keen. Him paying Povetkin should Suggest to anyone he made a poor choice. His team are a bunch of amateurs really

Noelanthony - I agree with much of what you say. I don't think AJ is actually afraid to fight anyone it is just that I feel Hearn didn't really want the Wilder fight. On the other hand Wilder only wanted the AJ fight if paid more than Hearn was proffering. Deontay says it is all about the belts but he's lying to himself, it's all about the money as is with AJ's team. I like most Americans don't believe in Flying Saucers and the UFOs people have seen are either unexplained phenomena of military in nature. However, there is no doubt in my mind that ***** is gay and has been all his adult life. There are many people going all the way back to his college days who also say he is gay. However I don't believe it is a "sin" to be gay, the sin is fornication which both gay and straight people can choose to avoid if they wish. People who practice fornication (defined as sex outside of a marriage between a man and a woman) will have to answer to a much higher power than me, I'm not a judge.

AJ has chickened out before, but now Wilder doesnt want it.

He will make safer money via a Fury triology.

All those things you said Wilder would do are possible and you know why? It's because he's in the driver's seat now and not AJ (no disrespect to AJ who would be my betting favorite).

What good is being in the driver's seat if it means that the fight just isn't going to happen. Leverage is supposed to be worth something more than just the right of refusal. Okay enjoy the driver's seat that doesn't earn anyone anything Wilder fans.
