Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Told You, Truth Comes Out - Wilder Don't Want Joshua!

[MC Hammer]

Hearn didn't say that at all. He said they'd like to maybe get one more in but the fight with Wilder is the one they're going for. He said it would be Oct/Nov time. You can go watch interviews from that time and see him say it repeatedly.

AJ is the most humble guy out there. Wilder is the most narcissist and egotistical. He's the one who needs humbling. So it's clear you're looking at this in a biased way if this is the picture you're trying to paint. What are you going to say next? That AJ needs to stop running his mouth and start behaving like a normal person like Wilder?

You think ducking and lying all the time whilst contradicting yourself is "Out smarting"? Oh dear.

Put down the stars and stripes and leave the bias alone. Wilder will just keep making a fool of you lot with all this nonsense. Wilder is delusional and thick as mince. You don't have to follow him in doing that as well. Grow up.

Yeah he said it. You can go look at the interviews from that time. He also said that Wembley was not an option in September then fought Povetkin there. He never said the fight would be next and expected Wilder to sign for an April fight for 15mil in July/August. We see how dumb that would have been for Wilder to do.

They played themselves thinking that all roads led to AJ now he is just an afterthought and the only interest this fight HAD was ab ojut Wilder being next and now that's gone

If Wilder is the benchmark of how to get your name out there in your home country then Joshua is already miles ahead of him. The basis of your argument is opinion only, really. You surmise that Wilder made the choice for the fight not to be on PPV. I simply am saying that 'I doubt' that.

However, Joshua sells very well. He could quite easily stay in the UK, make tens of millions, sell millions of PPV's, become Undisputed without ever having to go to the US. The venture into the US Market is just extending his profile which, IMO, he doesn't really need. Its Matchroom's strategy really.

Wilder only sells well in the UK if its against Fury or Wilder but seems that won't happen if its up to Wilder and/or Fury.

StubHub isn't a primary source of tickets though (As far as I am aware) so, the tickets on there by definition are already sold to someone which would skew the actual truth. I'm not sure who the primary seller is here so can't tell. If you know, I'd happily look

Either way, this is all tit for tat. I just want a Joshua win and a HUGE announcement after...if you know what I mean.

Peace, bro.

Floyd is the benchmark and the UK will NEVER have an athlete on that level. Closest in any field of entertainment is James Bond and that's not even a real person.

If my argument is based on opinion, despite the fact I gave you proof and you have provided none, then yours is only speculation. You're talking about "well maybe it was the Fury number..." and I'm giving you an article from the horses mouth.

And as far as StubHub; AJ supposedly sold out. Why then is no one actually interested in going to the fight if these tickets are such a hot commodity? Answer they never were. AJs old 3rd parties who used to buy his tickets in the UK until it was outlawed tried reselling and failed miserably. He doesn't matter to us here and should have stayed his ass at home.

The only announcement after the fight is he is going back to UK. I honestly couldn't care less about his career. When he's ready to do right by the US champ they can fight til then I'm not wasting time on a single matchroom fight
