Why not Joshua 2019? Did they say?

[Scipio2009]

They didn't turn down any $50 mill son.
Wilder ran his mouth about 50 and Hearn said ok send a contract so we can see the terms and.............crickets.
Deontay Wilder has not kept AJ's name out of his mouth since in attempts to boost his profile but if you want a ticket for this guy's non-ppv title fight in less thann2 weeks there are tens of thousands available.
Stop saying 50M- we all know it wasnt real and we all know the guy is a coward. That is the reason they are ducking - guys a joke.

Why lie about stuff that is obvious?

Wilder sent the offer, Hearn talked to Haymon to confirm the offer, Hearn presented the proposed offer to Anthony Joshua, and Anthony Joshua decided that he didn't want to leave the UK yet (which led to the "improved" $15m offer to fight in the UK).

Never in this entire saga did Anthony Joshua say, "yes, let's fight in the US", so why are you pushing bull**** about "send the contract"? lol.

You guys keep looking dumber and dumber.

The only way that Eddie Hearn wants the fight is if it's on DAZN and Joshua isn't splitting the pot.

Wilder knows it, Joshua knows it, Hearn knows it, and everyone else in the camp knows it.

Wilder-Joshua or Joshua-Wilder, call it however you want, is a potentially monster fight that the public should see; with Sky Sports pushing the fight in the UK, and Showtime/FOX/FS1 pushing the fight in the US, you have the maximum opportunity to touch as many people as possible.

Wilder's camp isn't going to go along with giving said fight to DAZN in the name of Eddie Hearn securing the future for himself beyond Joshua.

If it's not going to happen, why waste the time in talks?

Well, I somewhat agree thatbthatnis the scenario- but each side has equal responsibility here.

Hearn for the reasons you say, and Wilder Finkel for having an inflated opinion of his commercial value.
For Wilder and Finkel to expect a "split pot" as you put it is utterly unrealistic and unreasonable.
Yes, they'll probably both pay a financial price if it's not made - but it'll hurt Wilder's wallet more - the guy doesnt sell.

Barry Hearn confirmed the contract existed.

Whether it existed or not, it was as much use as a chocolate fireguard unless they sent it to Hearn and AJ, which they refused to do.

So Wilder will turn his back on "one name, one face, one champion" and the chance to make his mark on history while earning an absolute fortune in the process .. just to spite Eddie Hearn?

He is a seriously dumb individual.

[SinderellaMan]

Link please.

You wont be able to, because he didnt.

It was an article on this site. Maybe it was Eddie.
The Hearns even said that the fight needs to build up more.
And I'm not wasting my time searching for a link that you will likely claim as having an invalid source.
The contract was rejected because it called for the fight to be in Vegas & AJ said his fans deserved the fight to be in the UK.

That is where we agree.
This isn't about Wilder & AJ or Haymon & Barry;
It's become a farce between Finkel & Eddie.
AJ fears no man nor does Wilder.
They both want to cement their legacies & secure the future of their families.
In my opinion, Eddie & Shelly are so are afraid about their guys having a loss that they are willing to let this fight die.
AJ ain't ducking Wilder.
Wilder ain't ducking AJ.
The only duck in the pond is Ortiz.
He turned down enough money to retire on & a shot at multiple titles.
5 million a low ball?
And that's coming from a man who has pissed hot 2 times that we know of publicly.

Pathetic excuse that has been destroyed too many times now. Well here it is again...

DAZN have the right to bid more than what Showtime are willing to offer. If, however, Showtime put more money on the table than DAZN are willing to, then Hearn has said he has no problem with it going to Showtime.

Take this information in your head and keep it there troll. Don't make any more of your silly posts. They're boring.

This was before Hearn found out about BT Sport being involved.

So Wilder never said he won't fight even if he gets 50/50? Just face it, the dude is a coward to his core. AJ is bending over backwards and giving all these concessions. Wilder has given none. And AJ is the super star here. Wilder is just a nobody who fights bums and struggles against them while never selling out.
