I know that’s the number being reported but I’m not sure that’s true. Why would anyone pay 20 million for a fight none of us wants to watch? Fury was supposed to get 100 million. Everyone reported that, and then Arum came out and said it wasn’t even 80. Shelley already came out and said it wasn’t a 100 days ago. Now maybe they upped the offer since then I don’t know. We should know more after the Wilder press conference.Comment

I’m not sure I buy the Breazele offer.Comment

Not if you think he beats AJ. He'd now be the undisputed world champion, he'd be $40m dollars better off, earning stratospheric figures from endorsements and future fights and he wouldn't have suffered the embarrassment in front of the assembled world of boxing of retaining only his title by home cooked scorecards.Comment

I just think the biggest problem is that Hearn doesn’t want to risk his big cash cow losing. Also Joshua needs to speak up & say he’s not fighting unless he gets Whyte, Fury or Wilder than those fights would happen much easier. Joshua is the A-side so he needs to speak up & tell Hearn to accomodate the other 3 as much as possible to get them in the ring. It can’t be a coincidence for Whyte, Fury & Wilder to all get away from a fight with Joshua. Something is going wrong in the negotiations & it appears to be on Hearn/Joshua’s side for the most part.
Hearn doesn’t want it yet has made several offers in the last few months
Also dazn themselves made a 100-120m offer
Wilder keeps rejecting and says he has no desire to fight
His master Shirley has made wilder lose millions for fighting for less and has come out and said, we won’t let wilder go elsewhere to fight like he owns him
Yet it’s Joshua’s and hearns fault
If that’s you think then you should stop thinking as it must be painfulComment

All that was needed to be said was "Yes, Anthony Joshua wants this deal; let's meet up to try and smooth out these rough spots on the deal".
There's no need to meet when your fighter says I'll fight right now for $50m, yet passes when the $50m shows up, lol.
What was there to even discuss?Comment
