Comments Thread For: Hearn: With Fury's Deal, Wilder Should Now Shift Focus To Joshua

[factsarenice]

i honestly think some of this is arum trying to spite haymon

wilder did have the ball rolling...good fight against ortiz...then a ppv fight....and another ppv fight rematch on the horizon.....arum knows wilder is one of haymons prize guys right now....wilder was building momentum and a profile

arum claims he tried to get danny garcia for crawford....garcia is the weakest link in haymons top WW names....hes behind porter, thurman and spence...arum went for haymons low hanging fruit....if haymon had said "lets talk spence/crawford ive got a fair deal for both of us" old bob would have hit him back with the "well that fights not big enough yet..i want it to be a big ppv and neither guy is there yet"...guaranteed

It makes perfect sense. I realize it's all theoretical but it would certainly make business sense to offer a package deal that includes other fighters.

Deontay Wilder vs Adam Kownacki. Now that would be a very fun fight to watch. That would be like batting practice for the "Bronze Bomber" because "Babyface" loves to take an asswhooping. He eats a lot of punches. In addition, he doesn't possess enough punching power to seriously threaten Deontay Wilder because his punches are so slow. He's the Vanilla version of Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller; Slow, plodding, volume arm punchers.

Fury is out the picture imo. He will be froze out until he gets a belt. JoshuaWilder will likely happen after Wilder fights Konawki. No1 likes working with Arum and Joshua would never fight on ESPN. Arum will match him with in house fights against Pulev and Jennings. Wilder is the most exciting heavyweight Fury is a little boring.

Wilder is not the most exciting hw Who likes seeing a wild idiot knock over taxi drivers?
Wilder's career is pretty much over. Is he fighting that Kownaki guy? If so, it's a 50/50 and hopefully he loses and we can get on with business without his ducking and hostaging the belt.

its not spite. its business and its not like he took away or tried to take away wilder. he signed fury who was a free agent.

Did you just make that up on the fly? It's kind of funny. I mean you are just being funny right? Right?

If Arum sending a Offer and Eddie saying they will send over a Massive Offer...what is being made up here? Well no need to speculate lets hear from Eddie and Arum themselves about it...



So NO Not making things up...Just LISTENING to WTF is being said!

NOPE! Wilder sparked a Bidding War within the last 48 Hours...

Sit back and let Mega Deals Roll In! Either you take them with ESPN or DAZN OR you force Showtime or Fox to lock you up exclusively to their Network. Wilder is in a GREAT Position now after fans had a Hard On about a 24-48 Hour Ago thinking he was going to get "Frozen Out"

gaymon doesn't like his fighters being tied down or being exclusive to another network he doesn't have control over. remember when roc nation offered broner 10 mill a fight and he turn it down? who do you think was behind that?

[saopaulo]

so sick of these fa-got promoters already getting all the spotlight as if i care about them. ok slick talking hearn if you really think thats the case cancel that bullcrap fight with miller and start the negotiations.

[hitking]

I still don’t get the Wilder hate. Dude is literally getting in the ring with guys 30-40 pounds heavier than his. And not only is he competing, he’s putting them on their asses. What he’s doing is equivalent to Lomachencko taking on the likes of Canelo, GGG, or even Kovalev. Yet people find room to criticize him.

Wilder should fight Breazeale on May 18, then attend AJ fight and if AJ prevails, they get that fight done, Fury punked out and is going to now fight Top Rank tomatoe cans on ESPN, Showtime, DZone and SkySports will all be involved and there should be enough money to make everybody happy
