"Wilder not accepting the franchise title is bs"- Eddie Hearn

[_Rexy_]

Eddie “Zero tolerance for drug cheats” Hearn should focus on his issues with NSAC right now instead of talking **** about other fighters.

Wilder did the right thing in rejecting that bullsh|t belt.

he didn't reject anything yet.

wilder has lied many times in the past so i wouldn't put too much stock in his words. he'll do what haymon tells him to do like he always has and will.

I don't see the big fuss about Dillian Whyte or however he spells his name...if they fought and Wilder didn't KO him I would be shocked...but I do think that any boxer would take the franchise belt, if it suited him in a certain situation...Wilder could change his tune later if the circumstances change and he has a dangerous mandatory in the way of a big money fight.

Deontay Wilder has literally zero reason to not face Whyte, so giving up his belt makes no sense.

If Dillian Whyte can get cleared of his drug test failure, Wilder has no need to fight him until Feb 2021. That's the Ortiz fight, the Fury fight, and likely 1-2 more fights before he has to fight Whyte.

And Whyte is on a 25% purse bid share on any bid were things to go that far (with Wilder being 5 PPV events into his run, Hearn isn't get that one-off fight over to DAZN for cheap, likely not at any price if Wilder is undisputed heavyweight champion).

So Hearn is going to lay out $50m, which means $12.5m to Whyte, all to see Whyte likely get blasted out within 5 rounds, before Wilder moves on

Weird comment frankly. Wilder says exactly what he should say and all Eddie can do is criticize him for saying it and try and sell us PED cheat Whyte.

Didn't Wilder reject multi deal offers from Hearn since 2018 ? If he accepted a Franchise label he wouldn't need any excuses ,he would pick and choose who he fights just like he does now so that was the message . With a franchise champion he wouldn't have to answer for challenges and offers to him . It would be the ultimate gift for Wilder however Fury will retire him so Franchise champion wouldn't going to go far for him anyway , you'll see hes just putting on a front and being the good guy . Ha

lol you think that chit is free.

They taking purse percentages. He already got a belt, why would he want to pay more for a new belt that was invented that has no history.

They haven't tried to give anyone one yet. Canelo & Loma both asked for it because they didn't want to have to defend their titles. Wilder is clearly willing to defend his title.

I can't speak for Canelo but Loma was clearly not very happy about it. Bob requested it on his behalf it seems. I know Mr Saulaman said it was Loma, but it was Bob who was incredulous at the thought of Loma fighting Haney, not Loma himself

[Redd Foxx]

Hearn is reduced to defending ped cheats and bogus titles. Lol.

I agree with all 3 of these posts.

Sure, but it was still done due to his promoter making a special request. Wilder is self promoted and if he doesn't want to vacate the WBC title, he's not going to.
