I seem to remember when the 50 million was offered, Hearn asked for prove of funds which was provided, ( Hearn admitted this ) then he asked what location, what network and then when this was going to be negotiated AJ himself backed out and insisted the fight happen in the UK.Oh, you mean, that time when AJ made a throw away comment in an iFL interview, then when Finkle was asked to negotiate the finer details it was, "no phone calls, no emails, no meetings, verbally accept or the offer is off the table"? Is that the "offer" you're talking about?
Being offered a three fight deal with a network for more money than he's even came close to earning in his entire 10+ year, 40+ fight career isn't being someone's "property". It's called securing the wealth of the next two generations of your family while also making boxing history. You say it's not about money, yet the reason they gave for turning the offer down was not knowing how much money AJ would earn (apparently that was among "many reasons" for turning the offer down, which Finkle said he would reveal in due course, but never did). You say it's not about money, yet it was all about money when Wilder was offered four times his highest purse in an apparent "lowball offer". You can't have it both ways, pal. Unfortunately, boxing is literally all about money. It's called prizefighting for a reason.
Hearn is a bellend and has some sly tactics, but at least he knows that to make a fight you have to engage in this age-old thing called, negotiations.
So when you sign a deal with a network you don’t become their property??? That’s not what Canelo said. Hence his lawsuit with Dazn.Comment
