Comments Thread For: Wilder Manager: Too Much at Stake, These Fights Will Happen

[kafkod]

AnthonyJoshua said "lol, $50m?! If you front me the $50m, I'll sign to fight tomorrow", or something to that effect. Wilder's camp came up with the money, Eddie Hearn confirmed that the offer was legit with Al Haymon, asked Joshua about it, and Joshua basically said "Nah, I'm good; I didn't really mean what I said there. Let's see if we can bring the fight to the UK".

If Wilder's camp is fronting the money, of course the right will go to the highest bidder. And, if Sky isn't the high bidder, there's no doubt in my mind that Joshua would be sold the UK rights as a match to the high bidder, with Joshua selling them as he sees fit (Sky bids $23n, BT Sport bids $25m for the high bid; Joshua buys the UK rights for $25m of his guarantee, sells the rights to Sky for $23m. Joshua gets hit a bit, but he gets the fight where he wanted it.

Hearn did not get confirmation from Haymon that the $50million offer was legit.

And even if he did, it would have come too late because AJ had already rejected that offer because Finkel refused to talk to his promoter about it or even tell him anything whatsoever about the details.

And $100million >> $80million. So what you're saying here is that the fight should go to the highest bidder .. as long as the highest bidder is Wilder's side, not AJ's.

If you own a pair of shorts, you're qualified as a Wilder opponent. Good luck

... and you're "qualified" as Wilder himself...

Except that Wilder seems to have decided to leave the money and run!

... Wilder isn't a "free agent" (philosophically speaking)... "agency" is something else, tbh...

Personally, I can think of only one explanation for the extreme, irrational hatred and anger displayed by Wilder towards Eddie Hearn .. "That guy put me through hell!"

I think Wilder is afraid of fighting AJ because he knows there is a strong chance of him ending up unconcious and twitching on the canvas, the way he likes to brag about leaving other men. The thought of that happening to him is too much for this immature, emotional, egotistical character to bear.

I believe that Haymon and Finkel are using Wilder's fear of AJ to keep him tied to them.

... You never know, lad!!!... there's also the "possibility" that Joshua ends up unconscious on the canvas, as well... You never know...

Of course, but AJ, throughout his career, has consistantly proven himself willing to accept and handle that possibility.

That's why he fought Wlad and two undefeated world champions to become 3 belt unified champion after only 21 fights

Willing to pay millions ONLY as part of multifight contract....just like Dazn payn Canelo for his last crap fight!!

They will never drop that 50 million joke offer as its been their biggest defense to hide behind for a year now. I know exactly what Hearn has said throughout the whole soap opera and these Wilder goons take everything out of context and then glue it all together so it sounds like Joshua ducked the 50 mill offer.

One mandatory defence then match and rematch with AJ.

Wilder himself asked Hearn for the same kind of multi-fight contract last year, except the first fight would have been against Dillian Whyte, not Breeazeale.
