It's have to be a 100m purse 7.5m of which goes to Wilder and AJ fury make 42.5m plus more. It gives Wilder one of the best checks ever got to do none then Wilder can work using jab as weapon a wicked uppercut then basic combo's then Wilder can tune up a huge fury for 3.5m as a tune up booster getting confidence and added weapons to the game then fight winner of fury vs AJ then cash out after rematch clause . Best case scenario for Wilder. 15m step aside 3.5m tune up vs hughie. Then 20-30m next 2 fights then retire.

I definitely get the concept of step aside money. AJ could’ve took step aside money and let wilder v Ruiz happen. But Hearn threaten to sue Ruiz instead. As far as the first negotiations you’re just parroting Hearn lies. But even if it was true, if Hearn would’ve paid Povetkin the step aside money, he could’ve negotiated wilder v AJ without any pressure of deadline. Between the BS flat fee worth 15% to AJ and Barry Hearn saying that they didn’t want to fight wilder until 2020, it’s obvious to the casual observer that AJ didn’t want to fight wilderComment

Eddie was never able to bribe Wilder with his cornball “flat fee” offers, and he sure as hell won’t be able to get him to bite now. Eddie never could get Wilder to fall for his self serving greedy traps.
To say Wilder could care less about what Hearn “has to offer” is an understatement, Eddies “offers” are always offered in an attempt to shortchange Wilder’s career, with the main purpose of elevating his robots - by any means necessary.
Wilder may be somewhat overbearing with his emotional outbursts, but he is also very brave. Hearn too is also overbearing - with a strong motivational pull based on building his robots public appeal - there’s the difference btwn the two in a nutshell.
Wilders always wanted the best fights out there - with three of em’ canceled due to the use of PED infused bombaclots... Eddie might as well be talking to a wall or his robot without batteries if he thinks Wilder is paying him any mind.
Wilder don’t want a damn thing from Eddie....Wilder is chasing ‘legacy’ while Hearn is setting up & accompanying his robot on photo shoots and into its docking station...Comment

Hearn is all talk. What he really means is we will continue to fight lesser opponents 38 and older until someone other than wilder anf fury have the wbc belt.Comment

Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury for the undisputed status.
Everything is possible and I am not going to get surprised by that.

AJ could have accepted step aside money from...who? Who offered it? You can’t take something that hasn’t been offered lol Hearn threatened to sue because Ruiz was apparently “in talks” with Wilder and was publicly stating his intentions to go elsewhere and breach the contract, not because they offered step aside money. How can you sue somebody for making an offer? Lol
Why would they offer step aside money to Povetkin when no deal in principle was in place with Wilder (because Finkle wasn’t/had no intention of actually negotiating)? You don’t offer step aside money in the hopes that somebody else will sign a contract instead. You offer it when you already have a deal in principle with an interested third party.
Firstly, people keep crying about these flat fees...$15m...three times Wilder’s career high purse at that time. People keep crying about these flat fees...$15m...like AJ would have made $50m lol how much do you think he would have made? Between AJ's lack of popularity and Wilder's lack of interest in the US, a Showtime PPV would have done as many, if not less, views as Wilder v Fury 1....which Wilder would have got a cut of, don’t be a wally. After all was said and done AJ probably would have earned around $30m and Wilder around $20m (before Haymon throws a few million in there). Seeing as AJ earns around $30m without Wilder anyway, why would they offer more and lose money? Secondly, Finkle has shown no interest in negotiating. He made no attempts to negotiate on those flat fee offers. He’d send an email back turning the offer down then cry in the media that the offers are an insult. They’re called negotiations for a reason. If they wanted the fight as much as they said, they would negotiate. You know, like Hearn tried to do (but was shut down at every avenue) with that silly $50m trap. Besides the aforementioned “offer” that was partly fronted by Frank Warren on behalf of BT Sport (Warren’s own words), when have Wilder’s team ever attempted to negotiate and send counter offers?
And this isn’t just based on what Hearn says, it’s also based on what Finkle doesn’t say. Seeing as Finkle loves to shoot Hearn down in the media at what little opportunities he can find, if Hearn was talking nonsense, Finkle would have blasted him. Besides the previously mentioned “offer”...when has Finkle ever been in the media spouting off that Hearn turned an offer down?
Lastly, Hearn floated the idea, after Fury catastrophically embarrassed Wilder at the end of February, of step aside money being offered to Wilder. That does not mean Hearn would offer it, Arum/Warren would be the ones to offer it. The only reason Hearn has brought this back up is because Fury himself has said that he wants Wilder to accept step aside money so he can fight AJ for undisputed.
Anybody that possesses a logical thought process and isn’t blinded by fandom can figure out who’s been avoiding who.Comment
