Comments Thread For: Hearn To Wilder: Fight Joshua, Take Control of Your Own Career!

[Scipio2009]

And that’s really what it’s all about....dazn is pressuring Eddie to produce and Eddie rightfully sees wilder vs Joshua as the biggest fight dazn can make.....wilder just isn’t doing what hearn wants him to do and due to the sense of entitlement he has

I don't think it's entitlement at all, tbh; its getting to be a reputational thing.

60/40 Joshua would've gotten the fight (in the UK, Joshua/Wilder own the show, Matchroom Sport stages the event for the budget, Matchroom gets costs covered and 20% of the proceeds, with Joshua and Wilder splitting the remaining 80% of the total proceeds 60/40. In the US, 60/40 split, with Wilder's US broadcaster handling the US side and Joshua's UK broadcaster handling the UK side, would've gotten the deal done too).

Rather than deal in good faith, Hearn tried to skate and it's burning him now.

Exact quote from. Wilder -
DW: "ESPN and DAZN they had wanted a long-term [contract] on me. I like to dictate my own career and I like to see where it's going for myself. When you're giving these guys so many years, you're giving them too much control. I don't like people to have too much control over me and my career because I know what it is and I know where it's going. DAZN just left out information from us, they tried to hide certain information from us and from that point you can't go further with no deal when people are trying to hide things. I'm not going to get into what it was but we all know boxing is a snake in the grass business, and that's why you've got to keep the grass cut because they're always slithering around. DAZN was one of those snakes slithering around. They wanted to put out there a big number, and it was a big number and being human you see that and you automatically think Oh My God, but you need to know what's going on behind the details of that number. I'm not no fool, my mother ain't raise that."

Looks like a script written by Haymon and recited by Wilder. Can hear Haymon written all over it

Leave Wildher alone, he don't want no smoke!

Eddie Hearn: Take control of your own career.

Translated: Skipper has his foot so far up my butt to produce high quality fights that im tying his shoes with my tongue.

Wilder is in charge of his own career. Like AJ, he is NOT tied to an network; and like AJ, does everything on a fight by fight basis. So what the heck Hearns talking about?

[Tecnoworld]

Wilder will lose vs Kownaki.

[5000boxing]

Wilder bent over backwards for AJ an Hearn.. AJ fought Povetkin instead.. at Wembley.. which he said wasn't available.. when they screwed Wilder.. Wilder said he wants 50/50 if they ever come back.. Eddie is a spoiled brat.. wants everything his way.. but it don't work like that punk! U dogged Wilder for Povetkin.. now the ball is in Wilder’s court an u the one begging wit yo butthurt manfans!

do you follow boxing closely? Wilders last opponent was fury.

Wilder's last opponent wasn't Fury, it was Fury's shadow. They cherry picked him because they saw how terrible he looked in his comeback fights, and Wilder still couldn't beat him.

you sure that you aren't referring to 42 yr old Klitchko when Joshua fought him? Nice job trying to deflect that you didn't remember who Wilder's last opponent was.
