Comments Thread For: Espinoza: Let's Get Back To Making Biggest Fights For Wilder

[Curt Henning]

no mention of the ridiculous 50/50 demand from Wilder......thats wat will prevent the fight!! went from his 1st ppv thanks to Fat Flabby Fury to fighting AJ ko victim Breazele on showtime. Yea - Breazele is his BS mandatory.....only bc of haymon and corrupt Wbc who dont want Wilder in the ring with Whyte.

that's not whats preventing the fight dummy..in fact if joshuas side were willing to do it in vegas with American ppv id be willing to bet most anything wilder would come off that 50/50 talk.....hes till want 40-45....but hed back off that

but AJs people wont discuss that option AT ALL....its leaving money on the table for both guys...but you will IGNORE that and just focus on wilder turning DAZN down

why don't u tell AJs people to come with a 40-45 percent offer with US PPV....and see what happens? but those guys wont do it

you know why? because hearn has to keep skipper happy and they don't wanna risk AJ losing and having nothing...that's why they wanted wilder and AJ

[Curt Henning]

“But then, in engaging in the conversation, the true motives came out. And it became clear that the goal was not making a Joshua fight. It was not making a Fury rematch. It was to get Deontay Wilder to sign for four or five fights. That didn’t work. That’s not something he’s interested in. He is confident in his ability to generate revenues, without having to lock in. So now, hopefully, we can back to the original intention – let’s make the big fights. I understand everybody tried to sign him long-term. It’s not gonna work. Now, let’s get back to talking what we should be talking, making these big fights. They’re makeable. We just have to focus on making them.”

Can't argue there.

these UK fruits and excuse makers will just focus on "turned down 100 mil" and "50/50 is ridiculous"...and just repeat it over and over

but they wont call out AJ and his people for not willing to fight with US ppv money

wilder would come off that 50 percent talk id be willing to bet if AJs side would once make an offer with American ppv and a split....wilder is still going to want at least 40 percent.....which is prob fair

but AJS PEOPLE WILL NOT DISCUSS THAT OPTION

they are the ones scared to death....that's why they tried to lock in wilder too....afraid that if AJ loses on American PPV they will have nothing for DAZN...and hearn has to keep DAZN happy

DAZN/hearn relationship is the ONLY true stumbling block for this fight not happening

AJs people wont even dare come to wilder with "ok 60-40 us in vegas with showtime ppv"....because they are deathly afraid....

Where does this narrative even come from after Hearn has said a thousand times the fight can go to the highest bidder and we are yet to see showtime make any offers bigger than DAZN or at all this year?

Think about it the one offer Showtime sent (nearly a year ago) they didn't want to talk about it, literally.

These promoters are pointing the finger at one another. "It's not our fault we tried but they don't want to do this so we chose a different path." Every other day it's the same song with these guys. And they are all after the money.

One thing is for sure though Wilder had better win this fight with Brezeale and look impressive doing.

Joshua and Fury aren't on Showtime so can't make biggest fights. Wilder scared to fight Fury again and tucked tail from AJ without AJ even touching him. He has no value since everyone knows Fury is the rightful WBC and Lineal champ. AJ has all the other belts. Wilder looks like a joke much like his fanboys trying to spin his ducking.

[AdonisCreed]

I guess Showtime is wanting to evaluate the success of the AJ-Miller fight to see how it does. And also how the Fury and Schwarz fight will go, so they can see if there's a opportunity for any more leverage.

you guys are sooooo delusional......I could refute your stories but you will tell me it didn't happen or that im wrong...or parrot hearns other version of the actual facts and tell me im full of it...no point....but just know you are very delusional

[Curt Henning]

AJs people know that wilders people aren't talking to, or messing with, them unless they come ready for US ppv and at least 40 percent......till then they likely wont be hearing from wilders people

wilders team has made their stance VERY CLEAR....wilder has said 50 percent but id bet if hearn came up with 40 percent and agreed to everything else theyd be willing to concede that...or maybe 45 percent.....but HEARN WONT....HEARN knows exactly what wilders people want but he wont come out and say "we agree...lets do this".....

[Bronx2245]

Wilder wants a rematch clause.

I don't have a problem with rematch clause, so long as the winner gets the fight where they want, and you don't have to sign a 2-3 fight contract with a network in order to get the fight!

Sure Bro...they dont want to risk AJ losing but continue to put him in against undefeated highly ranked Hws in their primes - Whyte, Parker, Breazele, Martin, and now Miller. And a still very capable Wlad. In half the fights Wilder has!
