Lol, Eddie Hearn spoke to Al Haymon and spoke to Shelly Finkell, and publicly had to go to AJ and tell him that the offer was legit.LOL at these jokers in this thread pretending they think Hearn and AJ dont want it. I know they can remember 12.5, 15, 30%, 35%, 35% plus 1st fight in America, 35% plus 1st fight in America plus the contract is already presigned, just Wilders needed and no backing out, 40% plus 1st fght in America, 100 million, 120 million.
I also doubt they forgot the 1 offer from Wilder came from his personal email, not 1 single official document was ever seen from the PBC, also it came with a 24 hour deadline and a refusal to share any of the terms and conditions of the deal. Almost like it had been done by a child, a bit of a backwards slow child.
After all that talk of "all the money is in the UK", why do you think AJ switched, almost immediately, to "money doesn't matter, I want to deliver big events to the UK because we always have to go over there" schtick?
60/40 Joshua would've made the deal for the fight Fall 2018; if Hearn was still leery of opening up his books, a $20m flat fee (basically 40% of the believed take for the Joshua-Klitchko fight) and pick of the US TV would've sufficed.
And Joshua could've had the same fight in the US for $50m against 50% of the event (Matchroom could purchase the UK rights out of Joshua's guarantee to keep things on Sky Box Office).
There are a ton of details to navigate, but it wasn't that complicated, lol.Comment

The reason why those haven't materialized is because of you Eddie Hearn. Personally, Deontay Wilder feels that your ilk are the skunk of the earth who cannot be trusted. You are the reason why there hasn't been an Anthony Joshua or a Dillian Whyte vs a Deontay Wilder fight.Comment

Hindsight being 20/20, if Deontay Wilder had taken that deal, he would've made $20m to fight Breazeale in May and then be left holding his **** for 16 months.Anybody who thinks Wilder wants to fight AJ and it's AJ who was ducking is a complete total moron.
The coward ran away from $120m to take about $5m for Breazeale and Ortiz. Don't buy those fake news propaganda guarantees put out by those PBC liars. Wilder is a minor league draw even in USA.
Joshua loses to Ruiz in June, beats Ruiz in December, (seeing the machinations) fights Pulev for the IBF mandatory in the Spring (while we see Usyk-Parker for the vacant WBO belt at the same time), fight for the WBO belt in the late summer, and then MAYBE take the full unification fight with Wilder by Winte 2020.
Wilder's stuck on DAZN for 4 fights, the pickings with Matchroom and Golden Boy are slimmer than slim (with PBC having it's own content deals to fill), so who would Wilder fight while he waited?
Chisora? Whyte? Tyrone Spong? DavidvAllen, lol?
He'd rot on the vine there.
In his first real headlining fight in Las Vegas, at Vegas feature event pricing, Deontay Wilder drew $4m+ in paid tickets.
Pretty respectable for a "minor draw" lolComment

What's the value in a second offer when Anthony Joshua said "pay me my $50m and I'll sign tomorrow", they show up with the $50m, and Joshua balls at the fight anyway?
Offer him more cash than what he even thought was a ridiculous number? lol.
And let's not act like Eddie Hearn was going to have Haymon/DiBella come into his home market and stage the show that they'd be backing the money for with Matchroom Sport's sole star fighter.Comment

Wilder signs that deal, and he would've fought Breazeale for $20m, likely sloppy Dillian Whyte to start 2020, and then be left holding his **** until the end of the year, with no one watching his fights, lolThe deal was four fights, two tomato cans and two AJ fights for $120m then free to go back to PBC Haymon. Wilder ducked it for haymon's peanuts. It shows Wilder is a fraud and has no confidence to dare to be great. All roads lead to Joshua who makes $85m a fight and fills soccer stadiums. Wilder makes $3m a fight and they have to give the tickets away.
Any one who thinks Wilder should get 50-50 is a jackass moron imbecile and should repeat elementary and high school.Comment

IMO, the pressure would have been on Ruiz to defend and/or vacate, if he had won. But since AJ had won, now Eddie will do anything to keep the belts in the house. Let's wait and see!If the IBF is vacated it is Pulev vs Kownacki but if the WBO is vacated it is Usyk vs Fury. If Fury chooses the Wilder fight then Parker is next in line unless Ruiz lands in the #3 spot between Fury & Parker. So i wonder what will happen? Does Joshua vacate the IBF or WBO? Does he pay huge step aside money to Usyk to make the Pulev defence first then fight Usyk if he wins? If he fights Pulev & vacates the WBO will Fury still fight Wilder or instead fight Usyk for vacant title?Comment
