Hearn says he turned down the Canelo fight.

[WBC WBA IBF WBO]

I don't think you can call career high money a "lowball" offer, though. Lowballing is making an offer you know won't be accepted.

Hearn knew $12.5 million wouldn't be accepted for a fight worth $100 million. It was both a career high and a lowball.

That's almost 2 years ago. It wasn't a $100 million fight back then. Nowhere near. Joshua had never been near the States, Wilder hadn't done a PPV yet.

$12.5 might have been too low for Wilder at the time, but it wouldn't have been too far off the mark.

It wasn't a $100 million fight back then.

Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, but Wilder's side was convinced it was and put their money where their mouth was by coming up with the 50 million when Joshua tried to call their bluff.

I'll tell a consistent story. They should have accepted the offer.
