    Wilder said that fighting on other networks is not a problem. So if the rematch isn't made this won't be the reason why.

      Turned out he's not as greedy ass as Wilder.
      Found out fight will be in Wilder's territory.
      And willing to take less as long as it is in the UK.
      In contrast, Wilder wants it at home and get paid like
      he fought Klitschko.
      Truly disgusting, if you really think about it.

        lolol....u guys really are sad and desperate huh?

        like AJ didn't know when wilder came up with the 50 mil that he asked for that it would be for the US???? LOL

        even after that when AJ whined it had to be at home for his "Fans"...the same fans he said don't determine his career and should train to fight wilder themselves.....wilder agreed as long as it was in 2018.....yet hearn couldn't put a date on the contract he sent LOL

        clownshow...so much that lennox,fury, parker, khan and froch all blamed hearn and AJ LOL

          Wilder said he's a free agent and is open to fighting on other networks, so let's see how it plays out.

            Look at these clowns who keep chanting the same BS narrative.
            Date and venue have been the last focus of negotiations in millions of fights since time immemorial.
            The contract Hearn sent was just ignored by Wilder's clowny team
            when they were perfectly aware that AJ had mandatory obligation to fulfill.
            The motherfkrs didn't have the decency to respond in a timely manner.
            WBA was waiting, Povetkin was waiting.
            Wilder's clowny team didn't have any clue on how to respond to Hearn's offer.
            Winkel can't even talk on the phone.
            Truly disgusting team.

              Wilder said he’s a free agent and clearly values that. So those who think he’s going to give that up are kidding themselves.

                True but if Arum is trying to sign Wilder to a multifight deal (if true),how is that a good deal for Wilder? Fighting on ESPN is great and all but the guy shouldnt sign his career away to a known liar. Bob ain't even done with that stadium yet 😂😂😂

                  Only a fool would sign a five fight deal with bob arum. Only a fangirl would base an argument on signing your rights over to bo arum. LoL! You haters will reach at anything ...

                  I hope they find a way to fight. If not, there are more fish in the sea ...

                    We will see what happens if and when things go to purse bid- a purse bid that may be moot if ESPN loses it (and it might).

                    You can't blame Fury for trying to secure his future.

                    However, if part of that big money Fury is promised by ESPN depends on getting Wilder and Joshua in the ring, this can potentially backfire on Arum and Warren.

                    In the end, a joint ppv by Showtime and ESPN seems the answer...but, it aint gonna happens since it actually makes sense.

                      Only a fool who is a heavyweight champion who's earnings have averages just over a million a fight for 3 years would stay with any management team who is accomplished that, Wilder backwards fans have very little intelligence when they discuss boxing this is living proof. You are once again telling him to not fight for more money ? Ha
