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

[Inspired]

seriously a guy who had an entire night to call out AJ, but went out and went all out trying to pick on tony bellew...and you think aj was the problem.

[Cobra Curry]

Because the offer was a sham. Frank Warren is on camera saying that the offer was based on BT Sport owning the rights to the fight and that in Hearn's position he'd have said "it has to be on Sky".

Warren and Hearn are not friends.

i did think that was weird, the mission impossible offer that will self destruct in 24 hours or whatever

they just did it cos joshua blurted out something in an interview if i remember, not very professional is what i remember

What aj blurted out was after Scheffer said 'the fight will do $100m' but even in that context, Schaeffer was referring to the proposed Wembley fight. His argument was that Wilder will 'bring' the American audience and hence there's far more money.
Whereas aj/hearn were projecting $60m.
So aj responds with 'give me $50m up front and ill take the fight'.

anyone with an ounce of intelligence who can grasp the clear cut context, knows he still meant the wembley fight with the same terms.
not 'change all the terms, dont even show me the terms, just give me $50m and ill take the fight'.

Even if people want to debate me on this..they really cant since we then know wilder turned down $120m from dazn too. it's not just one thing, it's multiple things he did.

Because they never wanted to fight Joshua.

It's quite clear at this point.

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.

Bellew was talking like he was a ATG after he beat Haye Bellew is another **** sucking AJ lover u know so pointless bringing it up. He got levelled by USK nuff said who is not a puncher evern at cruiserweight

it doesnt matter what bellew is...what matters is Wilder said absolutely nothing, not even once, whilst commentating on the AJ-klit fight, about wanting to fight AJ...then went out and picked on Tony Bellew.

Just try to think about that.

Imagine AJ went to Wilder-Fury fight as a commentator. Said absolutely nothing about wanting to fight Fury..went out and picked on some random boxer.

[Fanofreason]

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."

AJ said $50 Million Euros not US Dollars. Hearn and AJ have ducked every time and everyone knows it

[ModestSAM]

They asked for proof of funds that the money is in an escrow account, but the Wilder team knew they were lying and didn't have the money.
The bum squad needs gullible people like you to believe the hype.

Well said.
