Comments Thread For: Hearn: If Wilder Wants Undisputed, If That Matters, He'll Fight AJ

[Robbie Barrett]

AJ's reputation has been trashed from all his ducking and eddies endless garbage he speaks.

If wilder/fury are fighting each other AJ has 2 options left.

1.) Fight Ortiz and earn some respect.
2.) Fight one of the bums Eddie is mentioning and be forever known as the paper champ.

Weirdly Eddie/AJ have never mentioned the top ranked Ortiz???
They are running scared of the 50 year old bogeyman still.

What has Ortiz done to be mentioned for a shot? He's fighting guys that aren't even ranked top 50 ffs.

Wilder said if he's offered $28 mil he's not going to take it.

I didn't hear that part. I did hear the part where he said that they know what number he wants (he didn't repeat 50-50) and that when they were serious about negotiating and fighting then they should approach Shelly Finkel.

[that g]

even hearn admitted the $50 million was legit.

Joshua and Hearn already ducked Wilder and the $50m deal. Wilder has unfinished business with Fury, they are 1 & 2 at heavyweight.

man... its like NSB and the PBC have a contract for these $50m termites to just keep popping out of the woodwork...

Which one is 1 out of curiosity?Can you name for me the exact number of excuses the baddest man on the planet gave for the reason in drawing with Fury. This should be easy as you seem well versed on the 50 million

The a #4 fighter recognized by the ring magazine, and any other independently ranked organization and anyone with a brain.

Dont pretend hes not, just to protect your precious AJ. #Gay4AJ

Whyte is ranked above him in almost every ranking. You know the guy Wilder ducked.

Because if he was going to go to the UK, might as well fight Joshua. There's no way he can make over 20 million fighting Fury in the UK. It removes US PPV and US PPV should easily clear 500k for the rematch, if not 600k. There's no way for the UK to make up that revenue.

You're making a big assumption Fury won't insist or the fight in the US or asking for a large split, say 60-40 in his favor. Wilder has already ruled out Joshua.

How do you name a number? Asking for a friend.

Haymon and Finkel will continue to talk to Hearn until a deal is signed with Warren.

Fury has no leverage to ask for 60/40. He doesn't even really have the leverage to ask for 50/50. There's nobody else in the world Fury can fight to be on US PPV and US PPV is where the money is. Fury has no belt. Wilder and Fury need each other, but Fury needs the fight more. Wilder's worst case scenario is Joshua in the UK. Fury's worst case scenario is much worse.

From everything I'm hearing, Wilder & Fury's sides have a basic understanding for the rematch, it'll either be in Vegas or Barclays (most likely Vegas), and they'll get the deal wrapped up in January. Holidays are coming up and nobody wants to slave over negotiations over Christmas.

Only reason the first fight wasn't in Vegas is because Vegas refused neutral officials. That's the only reason LA got the fight. Now Fury realizes he's better off making the most money possible regardless of officials.

Now, if Fury beats Wilder, then the third fight would be in the UK.

He does have the leverage though because Finkel and Wilder ruled out fighting AJ. That leaves Fury or Breazeale and Hearn has said he will bid on the fight when it goes to purse bid so Fury is Wilder's only viable option where he doesn't have to deal with Hearn.

We've already heard Fury' trainer come out and say he would prefer to fight someone else and let Wilder and Joshua fight and Fury can get winner. Fury can fight another bum if he wants.

Bottom line is Wilder is between a rock and a hard place. He either has to give Fury what he wants, fight AJ on his terms or fight Breazeale which will likely go to purse bids with no rematch clause.
