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

[OldTerry]

All Hearn can do is offer 100 million and if they say no, it's no. He can't force Wilder, Charlo or anyone else, they don't want the money or the fight..

Forget the past and look at the present and the near future. Why should past quarrels prevent great fights NOW?

Time line proves Wilder's team turned down 100 million dollar offer, fact. Finkle admitted it and Wilder confirmed it, it's not even debatable.

Just because you suspend your belief in gravity doesn't mean you should throw bricks in the air.... nam sayin.

Bro just reread the last 109 times we went through the timeline. It’s in our boxingscene archives. Just don’t care any more nor do I have the time for Hearn’s clout chasing.

Wilder is open now, make the ****ing fight already. Or make it with Fury or Ortiz.

But no one wants to see rusty Pulev vs AJ anyway. What are we doing. He can say Wilder ducked AJ all day but it won’t make it true and it won’t make the Pulev vs Joshua fight must see TV.

It’s been three to four years. The marinade is Rotting the beef. Let’s see AJ in the real mix!!! Last thing we need is a guy like Pulev to catch him like Ruiz did. Give us the legacy fights already.

People still defending Wilder are delusional. If he doesn’t get over himself and fight soon, he may go down as literally the worst heavyweight “champion” in history

I still like Wilder as a legitimate top level heavyweight, probably number 3. So I would like him to fight AJ prior to fighting Fury again. The reason being Fury beats him but maybe not AJ. Having said that, you are absolutely correct about Wilder's destroying his own legacy.

Total garbage comment, you smoking the cheap crack your drama queen Beyoncé Wilder smokes.

I provided links though.

Well, apparently many fans bought it and saw Joshua as a ducker. I never took Wilder's offer seriously - it had more resemblance of a PR shtick than an actual business. But to unsophisticated boxing public that's good enough, as we can see

But what I liked the most in that saga was Wilder's "accept the offer first, let's talk later". Just mind-boggling really..

Anyone that thinks you can offer 50m without a meeting etc must be uneducated. So anyone that brought that drivel falls under that category.

High contract demands based upon a business model that no longer exists, no ticket sale, anemic PPV numbers, opposing networks and a pandemic that has the UK on shut down.

Agreed, Wilder should take a winnable fight then go after AJ and Fury. The biggest worry that I have is Finkle, Shelly does not want Wilder on any other network.

This guys would never fight on another network, they would take LESS MONEY to stay under their adviser at PBC. Honestly it would be a waste of time trying to get them to fight other boxers from other promotional outfit or other network.

That Fury fight was a one off, they wanted to use Fury, they wanted to lessen Joshua stronghold of the division, but they didn’t know that as a fighter Fury is more dangerous and as a businessman he has more brains than Wilder’s whole team of Haymon, Lou and finkel put together.

I am not a fan of either fighter but Joshua may fool his fan boys but I know for a fact that he does not have the heart to fight Wilder. If he had a gun held to his head and had to choose he'd rather choose Fury trust me. Wilder might be limited in general boxing skills but Joshua knows if Wilders right lands it's good night, he got smashed by Ruiz and he was so scared in the rematch he was running a fkn marathon. Wilder mentioned the 50 Million offer because he himself doesn't know anymore what he's on about,but we all know if there was a 50 mill offer it was just empty talk by sneaky sleezy Hearns to protect and make excuses for his little cash cow Joshy. I can msg tomorrow Fury on Facebook and tell him I'm offering you 60 million....empty talk doesn't mean fkn sh**...anyone can say I offered this or that.
