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

[sayf]

Finkle is exactly right about that last part about implied ownership. Nailed it spot on. Hearn seems to think wilder should “yassa boss”, buck dance, and c**n every time Hearn twinkles his little silver bell. Hearn, and his nationalist sycophtic fans, believe wilder should just do as he is told by some foreigner talking down to him. Hearn may have all the privilege in the world in London, England but these American men of color are a bit more independent and proud than what we are used to in the uk. And I love that about the African people of descent in my adopted American home. I love their pride.

To be honest if I need to do a bit of hard labour for a couple of years, and someone was gonna pay me $100m, you're damn straight I'm saying "yassa boss"

if I wasn't getting paid my worth then I wouldn't get involved in the first place. But I mean, it's hardly slave labour at 100m, otherwise we'd all be lining up for it.

I don’t have a problem with Wilder I just wanted his fans to be realistic and don’t be blinded into thinking Winkle had any intentions in letting wilder fight for 15 million. You can see now how shrewd and cunning he is he would be doing Wilder a disservice if he signed. Most realistic Wilder fans know this. I’m not questioning Wilder he wanted to fight but his team knew his worth which in hindsight I suppose is a good thing.

Wilder is in a good position because nobody can become the undisputed without him. If AJ becomes a huge hit in America come June 1st it benefits wilder when they fight. If Fury does well it benefits Wilder too. He just has to ensure he takes care of his side which he will as it’s Brezeale.

So in 7 months his value has risen from 15 million to 40million and he got a draw in his last fight. It can only really go up unless he loses so as crazy as it sounds he is right to not sign. However the hypocrites need to stop they know who they are

I will check back later to see if the usual suspects come at you for saying this.

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

I would of took that dazn money even if wasn’t a guarantee of aj being part of deal only thing I would’ve like to know is how much money would his purse drop down to if no aj fight materlizes out deal

So the fight happens in 2021?

Finkel has always been worried about taking this fight, and Wilder does as he's told.

[James Hunt]

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.

Or when Finkel and Wilder were talking to Lance (I assume Pugmire - phone interview), and once realizing he was believing their story, Finkel "high-fived" Wilder.

[Ake-Dawg]

Finkel pretty much confirming it but you will still have these deranged Wilderites shouting and hollering the contrary

I believe Finkel's statement explains more about why he refused to email back and forth with Hearn and seemingly ignored his efforts. They had every intention of fighting the rematch to build Wilder further.

Yup, just like he was worried about Deontay "just a baby" Wilder taking the Wladimir fight. Wilder has no control ovr his career, he is subservient to Massa Finkel.

[DaNeutral.]

Finkel making an excuse for the duck. Ive no interest in their ramblings any more it is just smoke and mirrors. They dont want that fight and nearly everybody can see this is clearly the case. Just the small minority that are unwilling to accept the facts and still persisting with their anti Joshua narrative.

If there was any chance of Wilder fighting on any other platform besides SHO, he would've taken DAZN offer to fight Brazill for 20M. Why else fight him on SHO for much less money?
