Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua-Wilder Must Happen Before Mandatory Orders

[PotentialToast]

Currently AJ has 0 mandatories

WBO Mandatory - Was Povetkin. Was just taken care of
IBF Mandatory - Pulev is #1 contender, I don't believe he has mandatory status yet
WBA Mandatory - Was Povetkin. Was just taken care of

MANDATORIES COMING DOE!!

Sorry to rely on facts but:

- Povetkin was WBA mandatory. WBO said they would name their mandatory after AJ v Povetkin (which will be Whyte or Usyk and is due September).

- Pulev v H Fury was a final eliminator and is due after WBO mandatory.

Historically, Eddie Hearn has been using the mandatory defenses as an excuse and stalling tactic in order to delay the Wilder/Joshua bout. It won't work this time because his guy is now adamant about challenging Wilder next. If not now then later. Or AJ has the option of sitting out until he gets the Wilder fight.

What are the terms Eddie? Wilder is not going to fall for that $15mil flat-fee and you know it. That's a deal breaker to begin with. I believe that a guarantee, at least 40 percent of the purse split and a double rematch clause is fair. The fight won't be on those old terms.

Wilder has flat out said he isn't going to fight AJ on any terms.

[champion4ever]

The terms are almost certainly north of $20m, with a percentage, with a rematch for both with the first fight in the UK.

The only reason we don't know for certain is because Finkel has seemingly stopped running to the press everytime something comes down the wire.

Well if that's true and Joshua and Hearn are sincere, then there no more hindrances or stumbling blocks in the way of getting this fight signed. Therefore, I am confident that it gets done by at least the end of 2019 or even sooner.

If AJ wants to keep all his belts, he has to take care of mandatories. The has gone unification, mandatory, unification, mandatory in his last 4 fights. If it wasn't for AJ, Wilder wouldn't come close to getting an undisputed fight.

Hearn again talks COMPLETE BOLLOCKS AGAIN.....If you don't know, unification fights trump mandatory defences each and every time .Meaning Wilder and Joshua could fight for a unification any time and put who ever on hold.

The Hearns and Joshua are clowns and treat the paying public as fools .They are digging an even bigger hole here, thinking their clever!

Well said Whyte should jump ship go to Haymon

Eddie Hearn - "AJ vs Whyte will be an amazing fight"

Barry Hearn - "Whyte's power is on the same level as Wilder".

All we need now is more of the Matchroom stable to come out and feed the build up

Derek Chisora - "AJ vs Whyte is the fight the British public want to see"

J Miller - "I want to fight the very best, winner of AJ vs Whyte"

As long as they make the numbers and keep the casuals happy and pissed singing along to Sweet Caroline, Eddie and Barry will be happy to keep cashing in on AJ and avoid unecessary danger in Fury and Wilder.

Lol ...What an ignorant prat you are !

Ignorance stems from the lack of information. You are guilty of ignorance I’m afraid but so are a lot of people on here so you are in good company.

Not in a 2 fight deal it doesn't. If AJ signs for Wilder to become undisputed in April and gives up a rematch, AJ will get stripped and Whyte will get to fight for the vacant WBO in September (v Jennings or Usyk?). On the plus side, mega reunification in the UK afterwards

If AJ signed a 2 fight deal with Wilder before the WBO mando was ordered, that wouldn't be a problem.

He would probably get permission for it even after the mando had been called, if he informed the WBO that a rematch clause was necessary to get the unification fight signed.

Yeah some silly S#hit said there I agree but AJ is not scared of Wilder...... he doesn’t mention Wilder he is scared..... he mentions him he is pretending, he is still scared. He can’t win with you guys
