    Why did Wilder and his team refuse to meet Hearn and Joshua

    After they supposedly offer Joshua and Hearn 50m. And Hearn was estatic about meeting them and immediately booked flights America only for Wilder and his team say:

    "Nope, no meeting. Take it or leave it."

          Don’t you guys ever get sick of arguing about the same ****. Finkles talked about this situation to death and it was argued on here until people were blue in the face.

              Because all Eddie Hearn was bothered about was putting Dillian Whyte in the way of an AJ-Wilder fight. In the media "AJ wants the fight and Wilder ducking!" In reality he was trying to force Wilder to fight Whyte before getting to AJ. Got found out, and the Gypsy King had to show them how it is done. Still to this day Hearn is still trying to pick up the pieces after dropping that clanger, oh and he is now trying to position Whyte as a roadblock for Fury-AJ.

                  that's total nonsense, since after the whole $50m stuff..Finkle went public to say they had accepted $15m.

                  The contexts changed because 1) they took their time communicating, resorting to emails every fortnight and 2) canelo-ggg got made, clashing on showtime with aj-wilder, ie 2 superfights within 2 weeks of each other. Espinoza asked for the fight to get moved. Eddie said 'the best we can do is sometime in october but in cardiff (closing roof stadium, 80k capacity). Wilder then said 'no date/venue'.

                  It's obv wilder's side made it as difficult as possible to make the fight.

                  However...what was the excuse for turning down $120m from dazn?

                  As for Fury, Fury-wilder got made for $5m each at 50-50.
                  easier to make when both are on equal terms, but way less money. Wilder was offered $8m for Whyte and turned that down. So the only reason Wilder took Fury on was because he obv thought Fury was an easy touch. We know Wilder was quick tot he table when it came to easier opponents judging by his record.
                  Bad mistake, picking Fury to be his dance partner...

                    another nonsense story
                    AJ is on record saying that he wouldnt stop wilder...there was no 'restraining order' in place, only that he thinks Wilder should only step into the ring IF a fight is already agreed.

                    The best opportunity Wilder had to 'step in the ring' or call aj out..was at the klitschko fight.
                    instead Wilder was complimentary on AJ, went out and picked a fight with TONY BELLEW!!



                    that was cowardly on a whole different level.
