Comments Thread For: Finkel: Joshua Fight Will Only Become Worth More for Wilder

[Oldskoolg]

So Finkel admitting he's letting it marinate to make more money then.

Wilder says it's not about the money but demands 50/50 and agrees to let it marinate to make more.

Wilder says he didn't sign the contract because there was no venue, but signs Fury fight with no venue.

Says $15 mill is crack money agrees to fight Fury for less.

Says he wants to remain a free agent, apparently now Finkel looking for a 3 fight deal with Showtime.

Finkel asked when they'll make an offer for Joshua, says it will be in your lifetime.

It's clear one side is stalling and ducking. If the money isn't right for the DAZN deal make a counter offer, don't just walk away and do nothing to make the fight.

So what you’re saying is Finkle is saying the same
Thing that Barry Hearn said.....

Anyone remember Rahman after the first Lewis fight? All kinds of potential money around him. Then the rematch and goodbye money. Maybe Finkel doesn’t want his balloon to pop? Plus Wilder isn’t too bright, is he?

[Lopez_Boxing]

So does this mean that they never tried to negotiate at all before? When did they come to this conclusion, because they were willing to fight for 15 mil last year.....supposedly

The best part of the interview was when Deontay was asked about the DAZN offer and Finkel put him in his place by telling him to shut up so Finkel could out his spin on it. That told you everything you needed to know.

Belt held hostage. Lol, I knew they never wanted that fight. When you cancel meeting, accept contracts and not sign it. Cry about being ducked, never wanting to sit down and talk, before it was “We would talk after December 1st” then it’s “We want to run it back” then after Fury said he isn’t ready for the rematch it’s another thing. You have to be brain dead to think they aren’t holding that belt to ransom.

When Barry Hearn said AJ vs Wilder would be bigger in 2019/2020, that meant AJ was scared and he didn't want the fight.

When Bob Arum signed Fury and said the fight will be bigger if they both have an interim before the rematch, that meant Fury was scared and didn't want the fight.

But when Finkel says AJ vs Wilder will be bigger if it happens sometime/never rather than this year .. that's a smart business decision!

You couldn't make this shit up ... unless your name is Al Haymon or Shelly Finkel.

That’s among the reasons Wilder decided to have Showtime televise his next fight, a mandatory WBC title defense against Dominic Breazeale (20-1, 18 KOs) on May 18 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Thereafter, Wilder is free to negotiate with whichever promoter and/or network executive he wants.

Wilder can still negotiate after the Breazeale fight is over number one. Number two it looks like he's trying to squeeze a extra million or so out of another network. And last he's not thinking about what will happen if he lost or AJ loses before they fight smh

I mean this is boxing all it takes is for one punch to land on the right spot and the titles switch hands. Take the money when it's availabile smh

But Eddie Hearn and John Skipper offered Wilder the fight now.

I agree... shifty af.


Straight up duck. Wilder should be ashamed. Anyone defending him is an idiot.

So Finkel easily made the Klitschko AJ fight ,,,,

So why didn't he make Klitschko vs Wilder .. given he was the manager of both, had way more time and opportunity to do it ,,, is he claiming he didn't want the fight.

Its not like it was a hard fight to make like a unification with his stable mate Charles Martin .. wait, wait no i say that back ..

Finkel 1 : That Finkel is a snake he doesn't want the fight
Finkel 2 : No , no it's Finkel that doesn't want to make the fight.

Everyone else : Deontay is a baby heavyweight finkel is protecting ..
