Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder Would Step Aside For Fury-Joshua; Anything's Solvable With Money

[Super Macho Man]

This is ridiculous to talk about. There is no chance Wilder is going to step aside. Wilder Fury 3 is happening first no matter how much wishful thinking is going on with an all UK unification.
Wilder was a champion and I am sure he still thinks he can knock out Fury with one shot to get his belt back.

Hahaha....G_d favored deontayduckus by having the fight stopped....the devil didn't favor wilderquackus even though wilderquackus showed up wearing a satanica bootleg version costume of Darth Vader ....immediate trilogy to drive the dagger home

Say what you will but Fury is not leaving Las Vegas with Wilder's WBC title belt and taking it back to the U.K. Believe it or not it's going be an even playing field this time. I can promise you that! Wilder shall win their trilogy! You can book it.

50 million for doing nothing after getting thumped? He should be so lucky. He stands absolutely no chance in beating a Fury. If he was clever he would let them fight and pray AJ beats fury as he stands more chance beating AJ.

It’s a no brainier fight for his belt back in 4 months or fight for the undisputed in 10 months and in the meantime receiving a few million whilst you work on your craft

Absolutely!!! Hearn is asking Wilder to step aside to help him out. I was one of the few that supported AJ to right after Ruiz when AJ got thumped while others said AJ should take a tune up before re engaging. He proved some people won and got his title back. Wilder should be given that same repsect. There is no guarantee that Wilder would get the winner of Fury/AJ. next. So he should make it worth his wild. Now Wilder wouldn't get no where near that 50 million but he should try to bleed Hearn for as much as he could.

It would have to be at least 10mil for him to even consider it plus they would still need to pay Pulev a lot to step aside.

I’m mentally prepared for Fury and Joshua not to fight until the first half of 2021, anything sooner would be a pleasant surprise.

Wilder fans are now talking about divine intervention.lolololol. You are a funny bunch. Wilder is a disgrace. I’m not even talking about his loss because anyone can lose and Fury is a skilled fighter. Someone should have a word wth him and I’m not talking about Jay ‘ yes yes Deas

Wilder shall be just fine. He is neither broken or ruined. No Joshua is the disgrace. He has become the laughing stock in all of the U.S and the U.K.

He lost to a very limited and overmatched opponent on short notice and in some circles is no longer considered relevant or elite; Especially by Bob Arum who believes he is finished.

At least Wilder can hold his head up in knowing that he lost to arguably the best P4P heavyweight fighter in the division. However, don't you worry Anthony.

Wilder will make the necessary adjustments when it's time to exercise that trilogy clause and he will be ready for Tyson this time. The playing field will be even and he's taking back his WBC title belt from Fury.

I guarantee it!

[OPS]

I am a huge Wilder fan, and Fury did a number on him. After a loss like that, Wilder may need to take some time off and do some tune ups.
Fury on the other hand, made me a believer. Its really hard not to like this dude. I hope Fury collect all the belts and ride away into the sunset.
Fury will definitely go down as one of the greatest who has laced them up.
Great job Fury. Although, you have literally killed my boi wilder pride.

Hearn wouldn’t put in a contract that if wilder beats Whyte that he would fight AJ next. Now he’s willing to do that for a potential Fury v Joshua. Hearn is a real slime ball. AJ didn’t step aside and let wilder fight Ruiz for undisputed so wilder shouldn’t step aside for Fury v Joshua.

[Cool Scant]

I agree with Hearn. Wilder should take the step aside money and fight Ruiz or Kownacki in June, then if he's successful, he fights the winner. If he loses, he retires!

Nah Hearn and AJ weren’t willing to step aside when wilder and Ruiz had the belt. They weren’t concerned with undisputed and what’s best for boxing so wilder should repay the favor

[Cool Scant]

Foolish pride! He could actually make a lot of money by stepping aside, taking an interim fight with Ruiz or Kownacki (even Charles Martin), and then fighting the winner. The rematch did poor numbers, and unless Wilder has a great performance beforehand, I don't see the 3rd fight doing well either!

the rematch did 1.2M at $80 a pop. That’s better than any fight AJs been involved with.

[Nomadic]

If there are no strings attached and Wilder gets a shot at the winner next, step aside. If there is a rematch clause or he has to fight two of Hearn's cronies, take the rematch. I wouldn't advise an immediate rematch with Fury, but don't get pushed out either.
