Comments Thread For: Hearn on Wilder-Ortiz: It's Embarrassing, Why Not Fight Joshua?

[sammybee]

AJ should also fight Whyte in a rematch.

[methodcal]

What the Ortiz rematch does for Wilder (& Ortiz) is to help them feed their daughters and everybody else (they most likely talked about this weeks ago).

Team-Hearn is so used to running the show with his flat fees and condescending offers that Tyson Fury, Whyte, Ortiz etc,. realized they had to generate some of that available money on their own (Bob & Warren are no fools).

Hearn is the monopoly, everyone else realizes his control over the division with his robot... Wilder previously wanted very badly to square off with him, Hearn was complacent, dismissive - ready to go the route of "risk free" fights if Wilder refused. Arrogance can only get you so far. Hearn is in the situation he's in because he felt he couldnt be touched!

Hearn is the one "embarrassed" and squeeming right now, because he was under the impression heavyweight boxing couldnt endure without his beloved robot involved.... And why not announce it during AJs fight week? The fans know how AJs new little opponent entered the convo. Remember, Fury didnt want the rematch...Wilder tried...the boxing world knows that..

You want some fries with that?

Hearn...let's get this fight done but u, Wilder must agree to a multi fight deal w DAZN in order to fight AJ. DAZN n Hearn want to have control of Wilders next few fights instead of just doing a one off n having a rematch on Showtime or Fox if Wilder wins. Hearn is pissed cause DAZN pretty much is pressuring him to deliver the fight for then.

3 fights he wanted, Brezeale, and Joshua twice, then he's free to do as he pleases.

As someone who's impartial I'm not seeing the logic here, 3 fights you want plus 100m dollars what's not to like other than the network. But we have to consider he says he's a network free agent. Showtime can't afford to pay the same money.

Granted Hearn will be the winner overall whatever the results, and that clearly upsets some people, but I think they all need to put their spite aside and just make the damn fight.

By the way that's not too say I care about any of the above. I genuinely DGAF when, where, in what platform or network, how much, splits, Promoters..... I just want to see the fight.

Unfortunately all the fans are busy calling each other out rather than the fighters. They just need to just growi a set and fight.

When has Hearn ever asked for financial control over Wilder? Even the DAZN deal was done with options and the the other options were included to sweeten the deal. He could've opted out and asked for just the Josh fights if he didn't want the free money.

Wilder's not fighting on DAZN.

He missed the first DAZN offer out of hand, saw enough in the initial second offer to go forward with the meeting, heard DAZN out, and still felt that the deal wasn't good enough. Accept that reality for what it is.

With that out of the way, Wilder has a standing 50/50 offer for Joshua to fight him. Ignore the $50m guarantee, you stage the fight in the US (likely at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas), Showtime pushes the PPV in the US, Sky Sports pushes the PPV in the UK, and split everything down the center.

Wilder likely ends up with north of $40m for the fight, Joshua ends up with north of $50m for the fight, the sport gets the fight that everyone craves, and the terms for the rematch are already in hand if both want to do it again.

Don’t play a fool , Mr. Hearn . Wilder is a protected investment . That’s boxing today and lots of idiots watching that con game

AJ should of fought Ortiz but instead Hearn lowballed his way out of the fight. Not smart enough to prevent wilder vs Ortiz from happening. Instead y’all choose Cholo Ruiz smh..

[NaijaD]

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a fan base openly celebrating a duck like this before.

“Yeah Wilder you da man... make him wait till we get 50-50”

“Haha Hearn is mad”

It’s honestly fine cause not only do his chances of winning get slimmer seeing as he’s significantly older than Joshua but he probably won’t get any closer to a 50-50 split when this PPV bombs..... not that he actually even deserves anywhere near 50-50.

[Throwingbombs]

Wilder fans celebrating their man doing a blatent duck yet again. You guys are an embarrassment to the sport!

Listen dumbass, AJ offered con man Ortiz 7m, remember he fought the bronze bum for 500k...now compare 500k to 7m, which of em is lowball??? Btw...I sincerely hope you can compute to know the difference because I doubt your IQ is high enough to compute the difference!
