Eddie Hearn on sky sports hinting Wilder has rejected 100 million deal.

[Szef]

At this time last year, Hearn didn’t think Wilder was worth an eight-figure check. And people said Wilder was ducking later in the year even though he was willing to take a flat fee of less than $20m to fight AJ.

A year later, he’s getting offered $30m per fight. Let this reality sink in: Deontay Wilder is the biggest star in the biggest market in the world. And there is no way he takes a multi-fight contract that pays him a flat fee—no matter how much it is—for a fight that has the potential to earn him more.

Lol........

At this time last year he was making 1.4 million on average per fight asking for 50% still and avoiding negotiations of a 50/50 or no fight famous statement.

Wilder is the biggest star?

Get off the drugs dizzy boy you surely are DAZED !

Personally I think it's a bad move. Alot of money for him and his family and the fans get the undisputed fight. After that he can go fight Fury....either as undisputed or for the lineal title if he loses.

Deontay, AJ, Fury all fighting in the next few months and not against either other.....why are we celebrating this?

[Throwingbombs]

thats the funny part....hearn will just scream "100 million dollar deal 100 million dollar deal" over and over and these guys yuck it up like a bunch of dumb parrot monkeys....

are we gonna get to see the terms and specifics? of course not....its what hearn does best..he goes out there and tells everyone about all this money but you wont get to hear all the details and if wilder comes out and says "yeah but they wanted this and wanted me to do this and that" hearn will just "thats a lie...pssshhh we never asked that"

This post sums up the hypocritical blinkered nature of the Wilder Fanboy.

The fact he cannot see the irony in what he has just posted is hilarious!

... as I don't have "a horse in this race" (neither a fighter, nor a promoter/platform):

It is perfectly understandable that Wilder (and "his team") would take the Breazeale fight first, and only then exclusively negotiate AJ fight(s)...

There's definitely some sense to this... it's still disappointing though as if he'd accepted the DAZN deal (which lets be honest was a ridiculous amount of money) then all of this would've been over and we could actually look forward to the fight.

Though I am finding it absolutely hilarious watching the Wilder fanboys justifying Wilder whilst they've spent almost a year chastising Joshua for near enough the same thing.

50 million offer

No stipulated terms, no meetings, no discussions

AJ says no

"He a ducking uk coward yo"

Smh at Wilder fanboys

Wilder's team has no problem with the money being offered....obviously. The problem is the big UK pvssy stipulated that even if Wilder came over to DAZN, he doesn't want the fight until spring 2021!

The reason Hearn and the pvssy get away with stuff like this, is because they have loyal fanboys who believe anything they say.

The problem wasnt the lack of money it was the lack of a contract. Hearn asked for it, Finkel REFUSED to send it.

The problem was, Hearn wanted to see a contract, and was worried about who was fronting the money and whether AJ would have to wear pink shorts ��- clearly smokescreens- without accepting the 50 million dollar offer first.

It's nothing to say, "we accept your 50 million dollar offer, now let's see a contract."

How this is even a discussion anymore is mind-boggling. AJ and Hearn didn't want to give up the A-side, and didn't want to fight in America ��. They didn't want the fight then, and don't want it now.

... it's only business at this point...

... I don't care much about what "fanboys" say (in both sides...)

There are two world heavyweight champions, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder.

They each fought twice last year. Joshua's two opponents are ranked #5 and #13 right now and Wilder's two opponents are ranked #3 and #8 right now.

Wilder stepped up last year it's true, but his resume prior to 2018 was much weaker. Joshua has fought way more WBC top 15 than Wilder, and he doesnt even have the wbc belt. Oh and Wilder didn't win the second of those 2018 fights - the #3, so paper champ it is until he puts in some Ws against top 15.

nobody on the street knows who wilder is, take the fanboy glasses off and if it wasn't for his delusional fans this dude would be considered a joke to the sport.
