Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder, His Handlers Don't Have Decency To Answer Back

[Toffee]

Not if wilder catches him first. Only 1 of these guys has 1 punch knock out power (its not AJ).

If Wilder can catch a 6'9 Fury, he can catch stiff robot AJ.
Furys movement makes AJ look like a statue in comparison. It will be an easy fight for Wilder after hes had 2 fights with the most elusive fighter in the division who has a much longer reach.

You're forgetting that he can be hit too. Fury did it. Ortiz did it and should have finished him.

Joshua can finish. He catches chicken legs once and he'll finish him off.

I give Wilder a puncher's chance v Fury. Same as I did first time around. But I give him zero hope against AJ - a guy who can really punish him for his lack of boxing ability.

Wilder made $14M actually, and what he makes has nothing to do with his handlers having money for another person.

If I have to cut Wilder's rates in half to adjust for the distribution fee, then I'd do the same for Joshua, and Wilder still grosses more lol

The fight offered to Manny Pacquiao by Mayweather would have saw him make at least double what he ever made to that point in time, but he held out and made 9 figures instead, because it's obvious that flat fees are ripoffs when offered to star fighters. Wilder-Joshua is no different.

The rest of your comment of fanboy nonsense. Fury will probably beat Wilder in their rematch, and team Joshua will duck er lowball er make him an offer too. When $50M + back end doesn't make you fight, probably nothing ever will.

the 50 million never existed it was waffle spun by wilder...no contract no meeting nothing.
You cannot adjust the 50% taking away from the distribution networks...that’s there fee and that is done before the fight promoters and the networks even see there money.
As I said 37 dollars at 325k equates to only 12.5 million dollars add BT money they’re we’re lucky to earn 10 million each...poor ticket sales , heaps given away free at casinos , thousand giving away to the police and fire brigades and the top tier not even open for ticket release...rumour has it that it did even lesss than 325k.
Just like Shirley wrinkle and Beyoncé your deluded into some day dream fantasy.
As for fanboy Joshua has consistently beaten better fighters and will vintinue to do so and when either wilder or fury steps out from the mist as to who is the better man then watch Joshua take him apart.

Dude, I'm an AJ fan but the $50m dollar 'offer' existed. Hearn and AJ confirmed it. It was just a bum offer.

Other than that, I like the post.

It existed but it was just easier for Hearn to spin it as AJ wanting to fight at home than explain that AJ would have to pay off pre existing contracts to accept it and the net earnings for him might amount to only $30-$35m.

In that sense, the $50m never really existed.

Hearn has been headlining him on PPV's. I'm no Whyte supporter. I dog him quite often actually, but the guy is the 2nd biggest HW in the UK in popularity it would seem. Idk what that should be worth or shouldn't be worth %-wise with **** measuring respective PPV revenue, but I know Whyte should be making more money for Joshua than Del Boy which was his claim that I heard & I've not heard the always talkative Hearn deny Whyte's claim.



Not sure what you are asking from me here exactly. I just know a lot of sh^t with Hearn & money is ironically not adding up since this move to the US & prime time world wide boxing.



Who's "all the fighters" he's picking up? He's got an assortment of B-listers for Matchroom USA.

What fights are breaking the bank? Andrade vs that random guy? Farmer vs that random guy? Big Baby vs that random guy?

I mean maybe the most telling thing is he's losing purse bids to f#cking Bob Arum. Bob Arum is a notorious wallet hugger. So that says something that Hearn is out tightwadding the 80 something year old tightwad king.

It matters who the fighters are if its Bobs most important fighter and a not important matchroom fighter to Hearn. Logically Bob will be willing to bid higher.

With respect to Whyte earning more than the Chisora fight that depends on how much he made for the Chisora fight an how much his fight with AJ will be worth. Surely if Whyte is earning more than Chisora then AJ should be earing more than the Povetkin fight since Whyte is a voluntry with no belts and already defeated by AJ.

How much do you think Whyte made against Chisora? Be interesting to see that compared to Povetkins £6 mil @ 25% to see how much extra AJ Whyte would need to sell just for what Whyte wants as he reckons his worth more than Povetkin. His split probably starts closing in on Parkers 33% for unification as an undefeated fighter.

Eddie confirmed in a tweet (don't know why he does this) that he offered Whyte 4m.

Which really is a slap in the face tbh.

it didn’t exist to the fact that Joshua is linked with sky exclusively and the offers ment him boxing on showtime and BT sport which was impossible and would probably have entailed legal procedures from sky towards AJ

I remember when both Bob Arum and Dana White made the same excuses. They sure did break those contracts and get ****** rich somehow lol

Idr all the matchups, but I know Hooker vs Saucedo was one of them. I thought that was a purse bid Hearn shoulda won since he just picked up Hooker & Hooker is the title holder. Sure Saucedo had the fanbase, but Hearn coulda held the fight on Saucedo's turf to get that money. It probably woulda been his best US show.

What's Povetkin got to do with anything? Povetkin isn't a draw in the UK. Whyte is doe. Guy has A-sided PPV's ffs.

There is more going on doe than these odd & random comparisions to Povetkin & Parker. Whyte has UK PPV revenue as the A side on his resume. I don't have my UK PPV numbers in front of me to verify, but I suspect Joshua & Whyte could be 1 & 2 on active UK fighters with the most PPV buys/revenue to their name. Whyte is surely up there on the list if he's not #2.

Then why did Hearn say the offer did exist, that he spent weeks negotiating terms with Finkel and Haymon, but that ultimately Joshua decided he preferred to fight in the UK?
