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

[KTFOKING]

he was offered more than what povetkin got, which is more than 6 million pounds.

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

So hes not a mando?

I can't nor want to keep track of all this corrupt ABC bs, but I swear I keep reading that Whyte is basically just waiting to get his name called as the mando with a whatever day time period before a purse bid if a deal isn't made.

With PBC in the UK that makes a real bidding war possible for Joshua vs Whyte if it goes to purse bid. Which in turn makes it all the more likely for Hearn to stop the petty bs & make a fair deal with Whyte to avoid Joshua fighting on ITV & him looking like a huge f#cking idiot or needing to drop a belt again over ****** ass bs games he keeps playing.

Still $5M when you convert it to dollars, but yeah that tweet was a bit surprising. One big difference in a Wilder fight is the big US license fee for the fight compared to what Joshua/Whyte will get. So he doesn't deserve 60/40 per se, but probably more than $5 million. I can see why he is upset but as I mentioned, Hearn kind of created a monster here. Whyte legitimately thinks he's above Wilder/Fury in terms of name value and that is just mad (Degale voice). Hearn needs to up the offer and get this fight signed or fear losing Whyte to Haymon/TR.

Hearn can't tell AJ to offer Whyte any more than AJ wants to offer him. In a recent interview from the States Dillian says that AJ is the problem, not Hearn. As he put it: "AJ doesn't work for Eddie, Eddie works for AJ."

If your Whyte, you take the fight, it's for less money, but you take the fight, Whyte seems to be of the mindset that this title shot is his cash out, if he had confidence in himself, and his ability to defeat Joshua, he wouldn't be trying to protect his position to the point that he would walk away from the biggest fight of his life.

Would'nt you say the same to Joshua about being undisputed?

Interesting i always thought Eddie and to a lesser extent Barry were pulling the strings .

Sure, but Whyte isn't going to settle for $5M here IF that is what is really being offered here.

Joshua really must not like Whyte much lol.

AJ has his own promotional company, his own financial manager and a very experienced trainer who knows more about the boxing side of things than Hearn.

Like Golovkin, AJ is too big to be dictated to do by his promoter. Hearn can't tell AJ what cut he has to offer any more than Loeffler could tell GGG to take the 60/40 split with Canelo when GGG thought he deserved more.

I feel like I've read headlines like this from Hearn before.

Hearn and his deadlines no one takes it seriously

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.

Why do you think AJ last opponents since wlad had to sign multi fights with Matchroom

[BoxingTech718]

The fact that even Whyte isn’t jumping at what AJ is offering can only mean it’s another low ball offer.

Looks like all that support of Joshua didn’t pay off for Dillian like he thought it would
