Comments Thread For: Frank Warren: Hearn's Offer is Nowhere Near What Fury is Worth
Collapse

Didn't Warren acknowledge that there was an offer but that it was well below what he felt Fury was worth?I’m saying that if Deontay ‘ Baby oil ‘Wilder wanted a fight he knows 40% was on the table for him.
Fury took the necessary steps to inquire by calling Eddie and I’m sure Fury will not waste anytime in exposing just how sheet the offer was when he kicks of his publicity tour for the rematch.
Do I believe Wilder was offered 40%? Yes I do. If I’m wrong I have no qualms coming on here and saying I was conned
Here's my recap of things. First Hearn said he was going to keep things quiet. Then he said for weeks that there was silence on the line from the Wilder camp. Then he told the press that he offered 35% with a $15M guarantee. And without getting a response from them (I presume) he said he was increasing the offer to 40%.
Eddie Hearn has publicly revealed details of his offer to Deontay Wilder for a heavyweight with Anthony Joshua on April 13 at Wembley. The unified champion’s promoter had previously stated he would…
What I found intriguing from this was that Hearn said, hey, Wilder can get 50% if he KO's Fury. I don't agree with it, but this seems to be Wilder's master plan. KO Fury and force two 50-50 (or better) fights with Joshua. I've long since said that if there is a contract available to be signed that gives Wilder 40% in the UK, he should sign it.Comment

It's not an opinion. It's a fact. The IBO isn't a recognized world title. The WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO all recognize each other. None of them recognize the IBO.Stop trying to impose your OPINION on other people like its a fact.
If people can choose to recognise Fury's questionable lineage as wasn't started with #1 Wlad & #2 Witali it was #1 Wlad & #3 Chageav and not undisputed either then they can choose to recognise the IBO.
None of the major TV networks recognize the IBO as a world title (including Sky). None of the major promoters recognize the IBO as a world title (including Matchroom).Comment

As much as I can frown at Deontay’s decision making I understand it and whether I ike it or not , accept it. Mr Warren on the other hand everything is driven by envy and resentment for Hearn. Hypothetically speaking here, if Warren viewed Fury as deserving 60 million to fight AJ, if 40 million was offered he would consider that a derisory offer as it would be short of his estimation.Didn't Warren acknowledge that there was an offer but that it was well below what he felt Fury was worth?

Eventually, from a boxing purist's point of view, Klitschko fought #2 Povetkin, after Vitali retired, to become the lineal champion. Explained here:Stop trying to impose your OPINION on other people like its a fact.

By Cliff Rold - Anthony Joshua is the biggest draw in the heavyweight division and the man with the most belts. He might be the best fighter in the heavyweight division. He’s not the man who beat the man. Not yet. For many of the purists, this weekend is for all the marbles. Tyson Fury (27-0, 19 KO) doesn’t have a major sanctioning body title. For them, he doesn’t need one. He’s the man who...Comment

It hasn't got a lot of weight behind it I'll give you that but certain fighters recognise it and so do some boxing fans.It's not an opinion. It's a fact. The IBO isn't a recognized world title. The WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO all recognize each other. None of them recognize the IBO.
None of the major TV networks recognize the IBO as a world title (including Sky). None of the major promoters recognize the IBO as a world title (including Matchroom).
It exists you can't deny it you can just choose to not recognise but other people can making it your opinion which happens to be shared by others. Its no different to how the other belts started off.
I don't think it means much personally regarding AJ as he has 3 recognised across board, all but one no matter what you recognise. Either way 3 or 4 is nitpicking at the end of the day no one seems to care what belts AJ obtains, for some fans his worth never rises incomparison to other HW's even with the addition of the more legitimate titles like the WBO.Comment

That's a better argument for lineal statusEventually, from a boxing purist's point of view, Klitschko fought #2 Povetkin, after Vitali retired, to become the lineal champion. Explained here:
