Comments Thread For: Hearn: It's Frustrating, Done All We Can To Make Wilder-Joshua

[Deus]

As long as Joshua and Fury are requiring Wilder to sign multi-fight deals with DAZN/Matchroom or ESPN/Top Rank, respectively, in order to the get the fight, then they're never going to get the fights made.

People would go bat ***** if Wilder was saying that Joshua and Fury have to sign with PBC and Showtime in order to fight him...so why do Joshua and Fury get a pass?

Wilder's offer to Joshua and to Fury were one-fight deals, but in order to fight Fury, Top Rank wanted 5 fights and DAZN wanted 3. Those are the real obstacles in making the fight.

You're twisting the facts here though aren't you?

DAZN's 3 fight deal was for a fight we already know that Wilder has next and then the Joshua fight + rematch.

Wilder's offer to Joshua was the Joshua fight + rematch. The only difference there is one fight that is going to happen first no matter what. That's not exactly tying Wilder into a long term contract... it's tying him in to facing Joshua and then he's done.

AJ can say whatever he wants.... when hearn tells him jump he asks him how high?

Facts remain Finkel offered 50 mil team AJ stated they were interested booked multiple meetings team finkel started with the excuses "b-b-but it's a waste of time we'll meet with Warren and show him the contract instead"

The fight will happen but it just won't be on DAZN's, Eddie Hearn's or Matchroom Sport's terms. It will be on Showtime's and Team Wilder's terms.

bruh the fact that some here are upset that he didnt do a deal with dazn is ****** on its own.....

No let me tell you what’s ****** is that Wilder had the best dance partner in Tyson Fury and made 8 million max. I’m being respectful here because many suggest he made between 5-8 million.

He will fight Brezeale on PPV , how much do you think he will make? How much is being offered not just by Dazn but ESPN? You wouldn’t be saying this if you were a family member. He is taking orders from E.T that has done absolutely nothing for his career. Not got him one commercial sponsor. Not given him the money he deserves, the exposure. Wilder has manufactured and promoted himself. At times making himself look like a right donut just to be perceived as a pantomime villain . When that doesn’t work he can resort to his alter ego the Bronze bomber.

That is a lot of money he is turning his back on let’s hear some of the excuses tomorrow

personally at this point I'd rather see wilder vs fury 2 and then after that the AJ fight.....

That would not happen if he signs with DAZN exclusively

Of couse you would ,we all know Wilder gets knocked out ina Joshua fight. None of wilders fans on here actually want to see him fight for a undisputed ,the end outcome is way to predictable. Wilder still has a chance against Fury but also doubtful he wins that to,i don't even think he defeats Breazeale and have him being knocked out late in that fight.

Wilder has made it crystal clear that he is neither fighting on ESPN or DAZN.

I believe that it was both a mistake and bit naive on Eddie Hearn's part into believing that the only way the Wilder/Joshua fight could happen, was if it had to be only on DAZN. I bet now he feels like a damn fool and wish that he can take and walk back those comments if he could.

I thought he should have known by now that Wilder does not crawl, beg, or bend. He is a born rebel and a loner who is very difficult to understand. While at the same time; A very stubborn individual who is both idealistic and visionary. In addition, he is someone that won't settle or compromise for anything less than what he wants or feels is right.

He stated it can go to the highest bidder multiple times not just DAZN.

If you're referring to the title of the article the other day it was misleading as it wasn't even a quote or what Hearn was saying in the article. He was saying he didn't have a good relationship with Finkel the Winkle so the only way the fight would get done on DAZN was if they used the DAZN employees to mediate not that the fight had to be on DAZN.

What is actually wrong with you freaks? Celebrating that Hearn's nothing to do with the current Wilder negotiations becuase it shows DAZN dodn't love him or something and then blaming him again.

"50 mil legit doe, with no meetings and BT involvement"

How's that Hearn flavored piss kool-aid taste? Lol

Did Hearn ask for a contract??????
Did Finkel send a contract????????

Why didnt Finkel send a contract? Hearn doesnt need to accept anything to receive a contract. There is no rules or laws stating you have to say a particular set of words to receive a contract. Hearn said "we are very interested in your offer can you please send a copy the terms and conditions". And Finkel deemed that not good enough to send them the terms and conditions.

Hearn asked for the contract and Finkel refused to send it, refused to talk to Hearn about it and cancelled the planned meeting they had.

Is that normal behavior? Dont you see how that seems a bit strange if they really wanted to make that fight? And i bet i can find more vids of Hearn saying directly that he never received terms or a contract than you can where he says he did.

You just described an offer sheet, a term sheet, which was sent to Hearn. Which Hearn confirmed he received. Hearn admitted it was a great offer but they were turning it down because AJ owed it to his fans to stage the fight in the UK.. They negotiated the offer for over a month. How did Hearn know BTsports was involved? how did Hearn know where the original fight was going to happen, and the rematch, and the revenue split, and the PPV carrier? It's because it was all in the offer sheet. I mean you guys know so little of how boxing works, but not only that, your information is wrong. You're straight up lying. You are a liar. That's all there is to it.

"While Joshua was initially skeptical of the high offer, Hearn confirmed that it's legitimate and the money is there."

"Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder negotiations is heating up again as Eddie Hearn has confirmed Shelly Finkel has sent proof of funds for the $50 million offer to AJ."

And there are plenty more articles where that came from. Yeah AJ looked bad, everyone in and around boxing were calling Hearn and AJ out for turning down such a huge offer, so Hearn goes on damage control and begins to take back everything he previously said. So when was Hearn lying? When he confirmed he received proof of funds, and confirmed he received an offer sheet, and admitted he was turning down a great offer, and essentially leaving money on the table? Or was Hearn lying months later when he went on damage control and took all those things back? Ohhhh, I see which on you chose. Bye Felicia.
