Hearn didn't lie about anything. Actions speak louder than words and Eddie sent Wilder a contract.
If Wilder had signed it the fight between him and AJ would have happened before AJ/Povetkin, or Hearn would have been sued by all concerned for making false representations about a legally binding business contract and getting a mandatory defence delayed under false pretences.
The bolded is exactly the kind of conflict of interests situation which the MAA was introduced to prevent from occurring.
Haymon is putting his own business interests before the interests of a client, not to mention the sport as a whole.
Will Wilder ever get another chance to earn the kind of money DAZN was offering him?
What if he loses to Breazeale, Ortiz or Fury this year?
What if DAZN decide the money they are investing in US boxing isn't bringing in the kind of subscription numbers they hoped for and reign in the huge guarantees they have been offering?
