Comments Thread For: Barry Hearn: Wilder is Not Very Good, Easiest Fight For Joshua

[EnglishOxide]

Barry contradicting himself and his son. He once said he'd be fine if Joshua never fought Wilder due the value of the fight versus the risk of losing and losing the revenue from going undefeated for many years. Eddie said Wilder was the most dangerous fight out there for Joshua.

Is there anybody other than the AJ super fans on NSB that agree with Barry's new assessment?

You realise people are allowed to change opinions right?

With Fury's dominance over Deyonce maybe he now feels Fury is the most dangerous fight.

Barry and Eddie don't have to sing from the same hymn sheet. They've stated many times they have different opinions sometimes.

Moving on to reverse psychology now?

Or alternatively it could have just been an accurate and honest assessment, there's always that take on it too...

Fair value is fair value.
Hearn paid whatever he had to pay to get Charles Martin to the UK and pick Joshua as his voluntary. Hearn paid Klitschko 50% to fight Joshua, nearly two years removed from the Fury fight. Hearn allegedly paid Parker about 33% of the pot to bring the WBO belt to the UK.

Why is Wilder different? If Parker is worth a third, how in the heck is Wilder not worth even 40%?

Eddie Hearn has built Dillian Whyte up as some destroyer in the UK, to the point that Whyte sells well at the O2 and does well enough on Sky Box Office to earn an alleged 8-figure payday, yet now he's only worth 20% on a Joshua fight?

Joshua is holding the belts that Fury won, yet even he can't be offered a split worth talking about?

There's a pattern that sets in here.
So yeah, as long as Hearn is bull****ting with the offers, take whatever other fight you can secure

All really good points... of course, you do know that Wilder has been offered 40% right?

Its the weeks, vada, and rematch stimulations for whyte

The rematch thing is something i agree with Whyte, if he beats AJ as a voluntary then he deserves 50-50 (Which he said was offered to him in the end) but its too late, he wants a longer camp for Joshua. If he beats Joshua as a mandatory then he doesn't have to give him a rematch, which means Joshua would have to pay him handsomely to get a rematch.

Is anyone impressed with Wilder's boxing? Sh^t I've said it over & over again that for this level of the game he can't box for sh^t.

He can however fight. And he gots the best power in the game & for awhile at HW in my estimation. He also takes chances in the ring that others don't or won't. And he's shown some toughness & ability to work through tough moments.

So like I say with Barry...he should stick to talking about darts.

I am so tired of hearing that they were offered 40% like it was off top.

It wasn't. They once again lowballed both fighters and only after being IGNORED by BOTH fighters because they already agree to a match against each other, and then rejected by his OWN FIGHTER that he promotes did he say he would CONSIDER going up to but NO MORE THAN 40 PERIOD!!!

So it kills Me how contradicting his fans are.

1st they said Wilder doesnt have the profile or resume to not accept anything but the flat rate with no rematch clause and at AJs Grandma Tilly's backyard and when he does raise it they say HE STILL JUST SHOULD ACCEPT WHATEVER HE IS OFFERED PERIOD!

AJ straight refused to fight in the US but now that he is ASS OUT all his fans are like he needs to prove himself in the US.

So you guys truly believe a fight with Miller would bring in more money than a UNIFICATION FIGHT in the US?

I am also laughing at how Wilder was cherry picking fighting a former WORLD CHAMPION because he was fat and out of shape yet applaud AJ for fighting a 350 pound NON CHAMPION!!!!

YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHYT UP!!!

AJ DOES NOT REALLY WANT FIGHTS TO HAPPEN OR HE CAN MAKE THEM HAPPEN.

It just funny ALL 4 of his negotiations are going BADLY and it's EVERYBODY ELSE'S FAULT BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS GREEDY!!!

Edward hearn said AJ gets 25 million per fight and offered whyte 4 million lol that is 16%..then we find out it wasnt about the money, but the rematch clause and vada.

If Wilder is so easy then give him what he wants and take his belts.

[uppercut510]

aj vs wilder wont happen until late 2020 not investing too much energy into it anymore, but hearn is a complete clown

Edwars is a bad card player
