      Stop bringing up single fight offers, AJ was “offered” 50 million too. Anything above 15 mill and between 50 million was never even discussed in industry because everyone knows it was Finkel vs Hearn playing games.

      The most realistic position was Wilder wanting AJ GUARANTEED after fighting Whyte. The reason why the AJ vs Wilder numbers were never discussed by industry was because Wilder vs Whyte would’ve have made great numbers at Wembley with DISCLOSURE to the public about total net revenue, which would mean that Hearn wouldn’t be able to lowball offer after the fact.

      This is common sense.

      Again, Hearn admitting that Offering Wilder 7 million was unrealistic is beyond ******ed when you offer Martin 5 million. You guys just need to be honest that the Hearn family didn’t want to gamble the extra 2 million for Wilder because they knew their chances of Wilder with Whyte were slim.

      Hearn at times gets booed at his events. It’s always been a difficult position for Hearn. Adding Bellew parading his tongue for Matchroom as Bradley does for Top Rank is beyond gay.
      Delusional.

        Stop fantasizing about Finkel and Hearn or Joshua and Wilder. It’s all about Rungvisai and batwing broth!

          The offer was made. But that was 2 years ago. Wilder has just been offered 80 million to face Joshua and HES TURNED THAT DOWN TOO. 2 years later and nothing has changed.
          It certainly has. Using your own numbers, the offer has gone up tenfold in 2 years. In reality it's gone up about 8-fold, from $5M to about $40M for a single fight. That's a lot of change.

          Are we to the maximum money for this fight? We're a lot closer now, which goes to show how ****ty those deals were in the past. Both AJ and Wilder would have left a TON of money on the table if they fought two years ago. And after all, this is a business and it's not about leaving money on the table. This deal most likely gets done after they both fight in a couple of months. The money is too good to not to do it. Everything right now is just posturing.

            Yes that would of been all great. But they didnt take it. So nothing has changed. They didnt even try to negotiate it, they are not pushing for more they just walked away.

            What is the point of refusing to face Breazeale for 20, taking it off PPV meaning they are going to make much less so they can try to push for more against Joshua. If DAZN offer 50 for 1 fight with Joshua they will of not gained as much from that as they have lost from Breazeale. None of it makes sense.

            The only explanation that makes sense is they dont want it at any price. They must be scared of Joshua. That DAZN offer is not the kind of offer you turn down, it may need tweeking but you do that by asking and negotiating but these guys just walked away.

              Showtime must be taking a loss as they must be paying 6M to Breazeale because of the WBC mandatory split and it is not as if he was likely to do Wilder and favours.
