So lemme get this straight.
Wilder, backed by guys who have been involved with EVERY 100M fight since 2007, offers AJ 50M guaranteed and some of y'all TO THIS DAY maintain the offer was not real (TO THIS DAY!).
Even with journalists, industry insiders, rival promoters who say they SAW the offer, and the president of Showtime confirming the 50M was legit, some of you still don't believe it...TO THIS DAY!
BUT...
Anthony Joshua, who is notorious for putting his foot in his mouth, gets in front of a microphone- and while never mentioning a specific number- spouts some gibberish about doubling Wilder's biggest payday (as if that has ANYTHING to do with THIS FIGHT, which it doesn't), AND THAT YOU BELIEVE AS GOSPEL????????
The 28 million is folks ASSUMING, since AJ never said the number specifically.
And since AJ nor his promoter has ever been involved with a 100M fight, on what basis should anyone assume such an offer is legit?
We know there was a term sheet connected to Wilder's offer of 50M, so where is AJ's?
But, let's humor AJ and assume his running off at the mouth is actually something Hearn will back.
Is a flat fee of 28 million a good offer?
Could be, depending of what the fight does.
I will say right out that if it is for a fight in Britain, 28M is a very decent guarantee as long as a split is involved as AJ said it would be. If, on the other hand it is in Vegas, it may not be as good an offer.
But let's see that term sheet if it is a real offer.
And BTW, Wilder vs Fury II in Vegas MAY STILL be a better option for Wilder.
