ATTN UK Trolls: Joshua lost

[Bob Haymon]

Sucks for AJ. Wilder and Fury, two undefeated champions, will fight twice next year and Wilder will make pretty close to what he turned down to fight AJ, without having to cross the street, and without having to give up control of the promotion.

He still gave up control of the promotion to Mayweather Promotions who did a terrible job. I guess that's why they had to paper the arena and draw the curtains over the entire upper level to hide all the empty seats.

[N/A]

Bob Haymon lying as always. Mayweather was local promoter, Wilder was lead promoter. Big difference.

I dont understand the point of the thread. Are we trying to suggest or establish that Wilder is not a DUCKING CHICKEN? Cuz he clearly is.

[DaNeutral.]

The fair split on a co-promoted PPV would have been 60-40 AJ. To expect Wilder to betray his partners and came to AJ's platform, 50/50 was a reasonable request.




No. He rejected fighting Breazeale on DAZN. There's no reason talks couldn't have continued for an AJ fight. The only problem is that AJ lost. Had Wilder accepted DAZN's offer, he never would have gotten the money. The deal would have been canceled when Joshua lost. So Wilder wasn't wrong for turning down the multi-fight package.

LOL, What ever you say.

Could have had the undisputed fight in April. Could have had it in June.

Team Wilder was talking about freezing AJ out. He had his fights lined up and was happy to marinate it.

AJ's loss doesn't change what Wilder is. WBC Champ for nearly 5 years and never fought a unification fight.

Point of the thread is the $80 million for two Joshua fights was contingent on Joshua winning an interim fight that he ended up losing. So Wilder would have never gotten the money. So how could it have been a mistake to wait and see if Joshua won before committing to DAZN?

[N/A]

Could have had the undisputed fight in April. Could have had it in June.

He agreed to the fight the year before, only for Hearn to refuse to honor the agreement and then try to stall for nearly a year. Wilder rightfully said **** off after that. Joshua ducked the fight, not Wilder.

Don't make me get Robbie.

so basically Wilder, in the moment, not knowing what the future holds, rejected $100-120m to fight AJ.
When asked, said he wants 50%. Remember they asked John skipper "what is AJ getting?" and that was where the fall out began.
You say 60-40, but Wilder made $5-8m vs Tyson Fury after the mother of all promotion jobs both in the US and UK.

What more did he want ffs? Where does the hate come from really?

It doesnt matter that AJ lost actually. Wilder didn't know that at the time. That offer was conditional of course on AJ winning...but the headline is that Wilder refused to sign it.


When the 50m offer came from wilder's side. I remember aj and hearn saying "we're very interested, talk to us, let's meet, let's sit down, let's see the terms etc" but wilder's side refused to even entertain that. They used all of that as ammunition against aj to make him lose credibility.

There's a dan rafael/espn article where Finkle revealed that there's no rematch clause if aj loses..and it's 'when/where wilder chooses'. Yet wilder rejected offers based on those type of reasons himself. That's hypocricy.
furthermore frank warren later claimed that he saw the contract and it was guaranteed 2 fights $80m, contradicting what finkle had said himself. If that wasn't enough, Frank said the money was coming from BT sports!!!
So there's all types of shady **** that's gone on from Wilder's side.
To me it looks like the eddie hearn and aj haters were trying to fk him over.

The dazn offer was a clean slate. Eddie didnt even get involved, he let john skipper deal with it. knowing lou dibella directly..and finkle being ***ish, they could have made it. Yet turned it down all because 'they didnt tell us what aj will make, we want 50%'
and remember, Finkle actually said this
"when Wilder knocks out AJ and ENDS EDDIE HEARN MATCHROOM EMPIRE"
these people revealed their nature throughout the entire saga tbh.

you have a complete dog**** excuse of a brain to actually support wilder on this one.

[-Kev-]

If Wilder signed with DAZN then Anthony Joshua wouldn't have been knocked the **** out by a fat Mexican that's just facts

Very true. He would’ve been KO’ed by Wilder instead. Wilder missed out on that highlight reel KO and taking AJ’s 0.
