Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder and Fury Don't Want Joshua - Now Fans Know!

[Robbie Barrett]

He says they bought Joshua meaning Miller fight and they have right to rest of his staple in us BUT not AJ and he NEVER said that.And their are plenty of interviews where he says so.Now it sounds like he is playing with words but he NEVER says they have any options on AJ GOOD NITE TROLL.

"DAZN have first and last refusal on all our PPV events." He then mentions Joshua. Game, set, match. Sit down clown.

They have no PPV in DAZN that's what meant little fanboy about playing with words he does not say AJ is tied to DAZN and you know this because its well known that AJ deal with Matchroom DOES NOT involve DAZN.

He's talking about fights that are SKY PPV. All Joshua fights are SKY PPV. So DAZN gets them if they match the offer from any other US network. Keep up you ill informed Wilderette.

Rejecting the $100 3-fight DAZN offer has nothing to do with Wilder not wanting to fight Joshua. It's simple math. A percentage is better than a flat fee guarantee. If the Joshua fight makes $150 million and Wilder is locked in at $40 million, where does the other $110 million go? How much of a percentage is $40 million in the rematch if Wilder wins the first fight...

That's why you work with percentages and not flat fee guarantees. That's why the $50 million against 50% Sky offer to Joshua was such a great offer and spoke volumes about Joshua's true desire to fight Wilder when it was shockingly refused.

No need for a 3 fight deal with DAZN or a 5 fight deal with ESPN. Just a 2 fight deal against Joshua on DAZN or a 2 fight deal against Fury on ESPN with fair PERCENTAGES for each fight. And it doesn't have to be negotiated until after the WBC mandatory. That way, Wilder gets fair compensation for generating a $100 million fight or a $200 million fight.

I think it's the other way around pal.when you reject what exactly what you asked for 50mill you don't want the fight.when you keep sending emails knowing good an well deontay wants 50/50 you don't want the fight.either swollow your pride or leave him be.until its 50/50 there not even thinking about you lol.

Percentage of what? The fight wouldn't be PPV. All there would be to split is the gate and the UK PPV.

Percentages do not work with the subscription based model because you do not pay to watch 1 single fight, you pay to watch every fight.

Equally you can't come back and say a percentage of their new subscriptions because those new subscriptions initially are only worth $10, but if there is enough fights there to keep people subscribed they could end up being worth $100s so that isn't quantifiable.

Baffles me how many people can't seem to grasp this.

No big fight, no big money.

Hearn is a lying sack of crap. Everyone knows you don’t want Joshua fighting either of them unless you can rip them off.

Right on the money.
