Context matters in everything and when someone latches on to something out of context, u can tell they are trying so hard to cover their own lies. Wilder is not the brightest guy and certainly isn’t the best in articulating his words. All he is saying here is that he gave up what would have been way more money by choosing to fight Fury and therefore Fury should do the honorable thing by granting the 3rd fight. For AJ and Hearn to now be trying so hard to use that slip up is so disingenuous.
In all the AJ -Wilder dealings, they both share some blame but it was obvious most of the roadblock came from AJ side with the perception of Wilder been too dangerous.
Did the senior Hearn not say AJ fight with Wilder should not happen, Facts he did, it was confirmed. Did an offer of 50 million to AJ not get made after AJ denied it only for it to get confirmed, Facts it was made. Did Hearn not send flat fee offer to a guy who u know will never accept that offer and then try to get options on his fight even when u know he’s signed to Haymon, Facts.
Wilder on his end was a bit delusional about his worth and could have signed the Dazn deal but his pride and equal footing perception with AJ got in his head. Certainly he could have played ball at other times but he was gonna fight Fury to spite Hearn and also boost his PPV profile. Both have blame to go around but for AJ to now be acting sacrilegious and all holier than thou like he was always open to that fight is truly disgusting. I like AJ a lot but this excuse is just a ducking move. Fight Fury, finish that chapter and then go on to fight Wilder. Those are the only two big names or profiles really.
