Comments Thread For: Wilder Believes Fury Would Step Aside To Allow Unification

Trust me, you are not the only one.

So now I'm going to do what I've already done multiple times before .. copy and paste what Hearn actually said in that interview and ask you to highlight the part where he says what you and the hack who wrote the article quoted him as saying.

"It's the general opinion of myself, AJ and Rob McCracken [Joshua's trainer] that because of the status of AJ in the fight and what we've built over here in the U.K. that we should try and get it over here because he has earned the right for that fight over here," Hearn told Nick Parkinson.

"If Wilder wins, the rematch can be over there in America. We are going back and forth with talks at the moment and I'm confident we can make that fight. AJ appreciates he might not make as much money by fighting in the U.K. but realises that Wilder should be coming to the U.K. to fight first."


"AJ asked me how many British fans could get tickets if the fight was in America and could get over and I said about 6,000 and that's after we have done 250,000 in three fights and it doesn't seem right," Hearn said.

"He's keen to do the fight in the U.K. and from Rob's point of view it's an advantage. If it's in September it gives us the ability to go outside and we would have to consider Cardiff [the Principality Stadium], Wembley, the Olympic Stadium, Twickenham and Old Trafford. AJ wants it in London preferably."

So where does Eddie confirm the $50million offer?

Where does he even mention it?

He doesn't.

Those words were put into his mouth by a Bscene writer to trigger gullible Wilder fanboys like you.

"While Joshua was initially skeptical of the high offer, Hearn confirmed that it's legitimate and the money is there". Is this writer making this up? And if he is where is evidence of Hearn dis*****g this? I never understood the fans claiming that there was never a 50 million dollar offer. There are interviews where Shelly Finkel detailed the offer. Why is it so hard to believe that the offer was made? From my understanding it was a one fight, no rematch deal with the fight in the U.S. Why is this so hard to believe? The offer was made and was turned down. Wilder also turned down the two DAZN offers. Shyte happens!

You want links? Go find them or dont and Bury your head in the sand. It's common knowledge they wanted BT sport to pay that money and there is plenty of vids proving it, especially the ones from wilders side that were admitting it.

The funniest part of this game that I play with you guys is that I'm quite aware of the whole BT sports funding thing. The reason that I want you to post anything that legitimizes your "lie" is because you all know full well that Hearn outright rejected the offer long before anything about BT Sport being "potentially" involved was mentioned by Warren. That's why Hearn has never said anything about BT Sports being an issue with getting the fight made. He always maintained that Joshua wanted the fight at home for himself and his fans, and was willing to take a pay cut to have it happen. Again, BEFORE anything was disclosed about where funding would come from for the fight. If you can't admit that then something's wrong with you.

When you ask somebody for evidence that something happened, and they respond by asking you for evidence that it didn't happen, it's time to wrap up the discussion.

The writer said Hearn confirmed the offer. There is the evidence. Wouldn't Eddie Hearn deny the report if it wasn't true? I don't get your point. Do some research. Shelly Finkel has outlined the offer on more than one occasion. A one fight, no rematch 50 million dollar offer. I am not going to waste my time looking it up again. It's my belief based on the evidence that the offer was made. Why is it so hard to believe anyway? I don't get it!

Wilder was offered 50 million and refused the fight. I'm too much of a boxing fan to be a Wilder fan.

He can't box.

Do you know anything about boxing? You have boxers, brawlers and fighters.
Let me teach you the basics so you don't sound so clueless in the future.

A boxer; has good ring craft, moves well, is hard to hit and controls the fight with a jab whilst timing attacks and counter attacks from in and out of range.

A brawler comes forward, gets in close and tries to knock his opponent out and do as much damage as soon as possible, he'll stalk the opponent and try to stop a gap from forming.

A fighter is somewhere in the middle. He has some evasive moves but isn't technical enough to be a "boxer", he may have heavy hands but doesn't relentlessly chase the opponent like a brawler.

Whilst Wilder is a fighter with an exceptional knockout punch, he doesn't have much in the way of basic boxing skills (as he demonstrated whilst getting a boxing lesson from Tyson Fury).

You are welcome, I'm glad I could shine a light on your ignorance. Now you can pretend to know something basic about boxing.

He doesn't care. He knows that the primary reasoning given for Joshua not accepting the offer, was Joshua wanting to fight at home. He knows that the offer was declined long before Frank Warren said anything about BT Sports being "potentially" involved, that that never played into Team Joshua's decision not to accept the offer, and is only used by guys like him in forums to excuse their fighter being a duck. To this day you can't find Hearn saying that BT Sports had anything to do with him declining the $50M offer. You can find him complaining that the entire thing was a ruse, but that's moot because he ducked the ruse before he knew it was one lol

ESPN have paid Fury $$$$ because of the MEGA fights with Wilder and AJ. Showtime are paying Wilder more than he brings in now for the MEGA fights with Fury and AJ. AJ gets paid no matter who he fights. AJ beating Ruiz and then doing 2 x mandatories costs Showtime and ESPN. Whyte is the other spanner in the works. He will get Fury (assuming Fury beats Wilder) and I would fancy Whyte in that one. He can take the punishment until he lands an overhand right. And he is more skilled than Wilder. I just wish they were all in a round robin tournament.

If Joshua beats Ruiz, he should fight Tyson Fury next . This is a great super fight in Uk.

Is so, stylistically Pulev is tailormade for AJ. And he gets a belt. Usyk will wait for a cash out fight with AJ. Great fighter but not big enough and not a Ruiz type fighter. Couldn't get inside Bellew.
