Comments Thread For: Joshua: Wilder Admitted It, We Made Him a Lucrative Offer

[JLC]

No

What happened was Wilder sent Joshua an email from his personal Gmail account saying

"50 Million dolla no meetings you agree or no"

Hearn then requested a meeting to discuss terms, Finkle said no and they called AJ a "ducker"

Then Finkle and Wilder met with DAZN, were presented with a 100 million dollar contract, said no and fought Brezeale instead

Lol. Incorrect

"One thing is for absolute certain, AJ wants Wilder next," Hearn said. "He’s made that clear. He also feels though, after talking to Rob McCracken, his trainer and manager, that this is a fight that should be delivered in the UK. One for the fans and two, he feels like he’s earned that right."

Hearn then discussed the $50m offer, revealing: "AJ’s not really swayed by an extra £10m or £15m. He’d rather do the fight over here in front of his fans. "


Joshua named his price. Was offered his price. Declined his price. Lol

Wilder never said “give me 100m and I’ll fight you!” That was AJs quote. And he didn’t ask for 100. He asked for 50.

We’re talking about this nonsense because countless of people, maybe yourself included, were accusing AJ of ducking Wilder and it is a topic that has raged on this forum for a very long time. However, Wilder has now confirmed that this isn’t true, which puts this to bed. Wilder admitted only a few days ago so of course people will be talking about it.

The argument hasn’t been about whether PBC or Top Rank put on good fights, so your points on this matter are just noise and irrelevant to this conversation. Classic deflection tactic if ever I saw one.

Kind of puts every comment that Wilder and Finkle have made into doubt, right? Wilder has basically said, "we were never gonna take that $100m. We were just wasting time. It was a tactic to try and discredit AJ and Hearn. We were picking Fury all along".

Funniest thing is though, Wilder's intellect is so low that he wouldn't have realised what he was actually saying at the time

It's worse than that, Hearn already had a meeting with Finkel booked in NY that week, Wilder & Co cancelled it after they made the offer.

Yep the timeline shows Finkel cancelled a meeting. Made excuses why he couldn’t attend the schedule meeting. A few days later Wilder came out with the 50m crackhead offer “In a bag” 😂

And here you idiots go rehashing some old argument over a couple of public statements. The entire heavyweight landscape is different and here go common folk arguing to protect the reputation of millionaire athletes.

After the last few days, anyone who believes ANYTHING spewing out of Wilder's mouth about anything anymore should just stop typing. The man is certifiable. Egotistical. Incorrigible. Kinda both sad and lost.

Joshua has not been shown to be dishonest about anything really. When it comes to why there was not a unification fight between him and Wilder, I am personally all in on his version.

[DougalDylan]

He's not he's talking about a further 50/50 offer after that one.

Wilder has now ducked what 6 champions to unify with various excuses go back to square one with ..

"I'm a baby heavyweight and not ready for those big bad Klitschkos" and continue through all the other lame excuses, different one each time always not his fault.

Take the emotion out of it look and boxrec and the stats ..

As much as I don't like Wilder, it's important to note that he's talking specifically about the $100m offer before the rematch. A lot of people seem to think he's talking about an offer before Wilder vs. Fury 1. However, he's still admitting he turned it down in order to face Fury, which is contrary to what they said at the time..."we turned it down because they wouldn't tell us what AJ was earning, among other things (of which none were ever revealed, and now we know why, because the only reason was a straight duck lol)". Just saying.

I don't recall.iy ever being disputed that wilder was made an offer for Joshua which he turned down. But wasnt there an even more lucrative counter offer made to Joshua which he turned down?

So a contract sitting on Finkles desk for weeks don’t count ? You can’t be this ****** can you ? Don’t answer that .

Wilder would've made more money with the "flat-fee" offer from Hearn, however, the "flat-fee" offer was still highly disrespectful! Mayweather offered Pacquiao a "flat-fee" offer, which would've been more than Manny had ever made, but again, the "flat-fee" offer was highly disrespectful to Manny, and he declined!

Come on now, you know DAZN doesn’t have a PPV model. Canelo, Golovkin, AJ and every other fighter on there are on contracted flat fee money, and the same would have gone for Wilder.

Wilder was on record at the time saying AJ was begging to fight him and has now admitted to turning down more money for that fight, only to get beaten to a pulp by Fury for less and that’s all there is to it.

What’s highly disrespectful is Wilder coming out of hiding to publicly slander his long-time trainer and make numerous unfounded excuses for his loss, without any word on his own ring return.

I agree about the flat fee
