Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua 80% To Fight at Wembley on 4/13, Whyte is Likely

[aboutfkntime]

Whyte was the plan all along. When you already set the date, the venue, and try to dictate all the terms you’re not serious about putting together a blockbuster fight

exactly !!

[aboutfkntime]

Because it's a $50M fight, with PPV upside included. As a prizefighter, you don't use "A-side" status to make less money, which is why Joshua is being rightly criticized. His own promoter said that even though the fight would be projected to earn way less at Wembley, they still wanted to do it there for Joshua's comfort. That's like, the total opposite of what a promoter is supposed to do for a fighter, unless of course they're protecting that fighter.

Joshua only has to sell 25% what he does normally on American PPV, and Wilder is already doing that. They could make a lot of money, but someone is being a diva. Wilder just made what Hearn tried to low ball him with.

I think it is closer to a $100M fight

Says the guy that derided the low ball offer . You will not show me one comment where I endorse it . The 50 million as a fan I didn’t want him to take the money. None of the money was coming to me so I didn’t give a S#hit how much money it was I felt as the A side he should insist on the fight being at home. I do not know how Joshua would perform having the crowd boo and frankly it was the most dangerous fight he would be in and it would make sense having homecourt advantage. Joshua said he didn’t want his fans to travel I didn’t buy it but I accepted and giving a fighter like Wilder homecourt advantage is ludicrous. The whole publicity stunt and was the money really there I never talked about it . It was a boring topic.

As for Eddie you Americans give him legendary status. I couldn’t care less about him. Personally I actually like him because he loves a pound note and so do I. Shelly Finkel is just as slippery but I don’t give a s#hit about promoters so I don’t talk about them at length

Fury is not fighting till June . Why are you talking about AJ fighting Whyte. Why are you fine listening to Wilder talk rematch. Fury is willing to wait. You might be fine hearing excuses such as baby oil and your mouth hurting from promoting but that doesn’t sit right with me. Why is wilder talking about his mandatory Breazeale. Let him fight whoever you want him to fight but don’t concern yourself with Who’s Aj’s fighting

well lookee here, you could be right.....

so maybe Wilder is determined to fight Fury next, you could be right..... but that does not change the fact that had Joshua not avoided Wilder TWICE, Wilder never would have fought Fury

Stop the bs, we know this is the fight in April

[Laligalaliga]

Everyone,including AJ knows this fight sucks. But Wilder-Fury put them in a very difficult situation. AJ knows hes going to get bashed hard for this garbage..

suddenly the whole world is interested in who AJ wants to fight when wilder has made it clear he wants no piece of AJ. maybe hez scared of being KOed.

AJ should do dillian for April, the warriors deserves it and will definitely give AJ big trouble. That left hook is amazing, once landed flush, AJ is kissing the canvas. Getting up after the hook will be debatable.

Wilder can go ahead and forget his own path, sooner or later some else will bring the green belt to AJ to sell at a reasonable price.

You are convinced AJ avoided Wilder I beg to differ . Was he apprehensive fighting in America? Absolutely. Do I blame him? Not really. I don’t doubt Wilder was always keen to fight AJ but I believe is team did not share his ambition and why would they they are business men and they would be S#hitty business men if they accepted such a shocking deal.

However as of today 24th December there is only one fighter that wants the fight and that’s all we should discussing not hard luck stories of the past. Wilder ducked Klitschko in the past but who gives a s#hit. Wilder should not be WBC champion in my opinion but my opinion is irrelevant the fact is he is so I just want to relinquish him of his titles and I know a man that is itching to do it. Nothing personal

Oh so if Wilder’s team put to Fury let’s fight in May ,at MGM Las Vegas and you will receive 20 million guaranteed with a PPV percentage. That would suggest to you Team Wilder are not serious about putting together a blockbuster fight?

That is the only time Wilder fans have a leg to stand on I agree. Guilty as charged . However as a AJ fan I would never advise him to fight Wilder on enemy soil. I think home advantage is huge for AJ . Who knows how he will perform when the entire crowd wants his head on a plate. He might enter the ring and start throwing his hands like Broner and get stage fright. Who knows but for a few million more is it worth taking the risk? He would fight Fury in America , or Fat baby or any other heavyweight. He respects what Wilder is capable of

Maybe I’m reaching here but I think Wilder does not want to fight AJ in the U.K. for the very same reason AJ didn’t want to fight Wilder in the states

[Kilrain]

This was so clearly their plan all along, and now Whyte's recorded an eye-catching KO of Chisora, all the ducks are in a row. Meh.

Meanwhile, Fury and Wilder will fight a rematch of one of 2018's most dramatic fights, to determine the lineal heavyweight champion of the world.

they crawled up their own ass over the $50M offer

and their $15M counter-offer was ABSURD

when Wilder accepted that ABSURD offer, they shat themselves

it is clearly obvious who avoided that fight, and who did not

just like Lennon Lewis said

only the Joshua fanboys are denying it

which is..... hilarious
