Comments Thread For: Hearn Cautions 'Now or Never' For Whyte To Accept Joshua Offer

[Jkp]

Dud paper champs dud promoter cant even organized a fight with another dud fighter.

This is embarrassing for eddie and AJ, and the sport of boxing.

Whyte basically said he is a PPV fighter and Fury/Wilder aren't since he has been on PPV three times headlining while the others have been on three times combined LOL. And he also said he wants the same split being given to Fury/Wilder ala 60/40.

Hearn created a monster here. Whyte is a little too big headed now.

It's hilarious, hearn hyped up b grade ***** whyte, and told everyone hes an A Grade fighter.

But when it comes to the crunch hearn knows whyte is b grade, and won't give him the A Grade cheque

The initial offer has been improved, but the 5million, I think would be pounds not dollars.

That's actually a very good offer for a shot at 3 title belts and the chance to go forward to a mega fight for the undisputed crown against Fury or Wilder.

I know Dillian is a PPV star in his own right, but here's what people are not taking into account - there is nobody in the UK who would pay for a Dillian Whyte fight who would not also pay for an AJ fight against somebody other than Dillian.

Read that tweet again. It didn't say 5M in pounds. Said double of 2M which is equivalent to 5M dollars.

Nobody is good enough. Nobody deserves a payday for A.J. What a load of horse puckey.

Was he? Because look at what Hearn tweeted. Unless it just came out wrong?

i think it might have. he responded about the 6m in the reply chain to the tweet.

Dillian says that AJ is the problem, not Hearn. As he put it: "AJ doesn't work for Eddie, Eddie works for AJ."

Is that Whyte trying to put pressure on Joshua to stand up for himself or are others stating that?

Cuz I don't doubt its possible, but I feel like the exact numbers are gonna be heavily Hearn influenced more than Joshua is doing math behind the scenes saying who's getting what. And like I keep bringing up its not like there isn't a few things going on with Hearn & money. So its not like this Joshua opponent thing is a one off. Hearn can't sign a legit US draw with allegedly a Mayweather payday caliber budget per year & is taking L's in purse bids to Arum lol.

It’s a low ball offer. Eddie once again doesn’t t really doesn’t want the fight . And just like I said wilder should accept neither should Whyte even if it is more money than they had previously made. You think Eddie would have learned from his mistakes. If they really want the fight with Whyte make a real offer .

Dillian is saying that he can't blame Hearn because the offer is from AJ, not Eddie. He knows the score with AJ and Matchroom's relationship. AJ has his own promotion company and his own financial manager. His trainer, McCracken, also has at least as much influence with him as Hearn.

Like Dillian says here, Eddie works for AJ. And even if Hearn tells him the offer is ridiculous, AJ will tell Hearn to offer it anyway.

Not talking about you here, but it cracks me up to see people ****ing on about how well Haymon treats his fighters, how much money he has to invest in them, the best viewing platforms for them to further their careers .. etc, etc.

Then a minute later they'll be talking about how useless and inept Hearn is because he can't sign any of them! If Haymon so great to work for, why is it such a bad reflection on Hearn that he can't sign Haymon fighters?

I'm starting to think Whyte doesn't want a shot at AJ just yet.

And I don't blame him. He would lose and go back to square one.

Whereas he can keep fighting the Parkers and Povetkins and Ortiz's and Breazales of the world, and probably come out on top.

Ortiz KO'S Whyte!

I've never seen fans defend a promoter like certain posters defend Hearn. Bottom line, he hasn't made the fights fans call for.
