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

[Froch_uppercut]

what a ****** move,it's highly likely that he gets outboxed against fury once more,it's best he cashes out against aj for the bigger pie,he has 50 promoters and managers yet they can't come together and make smart business decisions

He has been ridiculously mis-managed and can't see it, how many people have their hands in his pockets? He's not even making the kinda freight that he should be / should have.

It's become pretty clear now that he is afraid to fight Joshua, his excuses are becoming really cringeworthy.

Even if he doesn't like the thought of getting knocked out by AJ,his best move is to take the fight now. He may as well lose for more money to AJ, than less money to Fury, and he has a puncher's chance anyway, ya never know. He's mad if he doesn't want the money and a chance to unify. He's done a good job of getting more than he's really worth out of Hearn, because Joshua really wants (is begging for) this fight. Now is the time.
Lets' go Deontay, you yourself are the only road block here.

Lmao no. Eddie can’t even put his own two fighters on DAZN (Whyte/Chisora is on showtime tomorrow) he’s not winning a bid against Haymon on two of Haymon’s fighters

Eddie's DAZN money is for US shows only. DAZN decided not to shell out extra money to buy the fight, lets see what happens.

So Eddie chose to lose a purse bid on a grudge match between two of his top 3 heavyweights...he just didn’t want to put it on DAZN for Americans to enjoy? Or did showtime make a bad business decision to pick up the fight? Not the first purse bid eddie’s lost since getting DAZN. He’s sitting there with this huge wallet but he’s unable to spend a cent of it.

That Lebedev/Wilson Matchroom card wasn’t in the USA but they made sure to put that as a big DAZN exclusive for nobody to watch.

There wasn't a purse bid. DAZN has first and last on Matchroom's UK PPV's so it wasn't Eddie's decision to make.

Not to mention that Fury is in the worst possible spot for a heavyweight boxer to be in, he’s the best and most talented in the division and he has no belts. Nobody will fight him because he is all risk and absolutely zero reward.

Sadly, Wilder received the benefit of fighting Fury. He is more well known. Can he make more vs Fury than say Breazeale? Definitely. But he can now leverage the Fury fight into better purses for lesser fights. Not suggesting he do that but it's a possibility and a reason why he is not stuck between a rock and a hard place.

You’re 100% correct. Wilder/Fury is the fight that the American fans are hungry for, but wilder is a name now, he’s a face now. He’s all over TV and social media. Hell, he’s become a meme in the past two weeks “TO THIS DAY!?!”

People will pay to watch him fight Dom. Will they pay like with Fury? No. But it’s not a match that’s happening on FS1 either.

Unfortunately for Eddie his plan of serving up Whyte or Chisora in April to AJ is up in the air with the unexpected success of Wilder - Fury.
Here's hoping his enthusiasm for an undisputed champion in the AJ/Wilder/Fury triumvirate lasts even if it means an 0 for his fighter.

wilder does not want to fight anthony joshua.. i listened to that pianful 3 hour interview on the boxing voice. an dthat man said repeatedly he is not interested in anthony joshua... after all that **** he talked about joshua scared of him.

Wilder said not even for fair money he aint fighting joshua.

Shelly finkel also finding excuses... last round of negotiation he said eddie didnt have date or venue, now eddie has date and venue.. shelly finkel said he cant do that without us blah blah blah.

Wilder is a scam artist champion bruh. and now i'm seeing his stans saying the fury rematch is more important than undisputed? SINCE WHEN??? all these years talking bout he want to be the 1 name 1 face?? and now the chance is here... he ducks!

[crystos]

these people are SO worried about "legacy"...
so, whats the HURRY that you HAVE to fight Wilder... RIGHT NOW?????
with 3 belts, one would think he has 3 mandatories he oughta be more concerned about.
fear makes you do really ****** things. like let other people talk for you
alas, he admitted to "begging" for this fight. and theres still no fight. LOL
open air is all we hear. and weakness. lots of weakness.

he cleared all his mandatories... oh now it's a hurry? before it was him ducking.. now he's in a hurry? lol. mak eup your mind... he cant be ducking and still begging and in a hurry to fight wilder. if wilder says this man is scared..why he shying away now?? u wilder fans are something else

#1 - Haymon gets a much better than 50/50 split with the PPV providers.

#2 - The next fight is expected to do twice as many PPVs.

#3 - You're forgetting to add in UK PPV, live gate, international TV, sponsorships, etc.

prove haymon gets more than 50% lol...showtime are the main broadcasters of that fight and before that 50% is taken out before its even got into the hands of showtime lol...then add undercard, promotion , sanction fees lol.... wilder and fury probably earned no more than 8 million each.
As I said 325k is ok but pretty poor numbers...as for rematch pie in the sky till they fight.
Next thing your say is wilder outboxed fury.
Your a joke
