Comments Thread For: Fury vs. Joshua: Hearn Receiving Offers From Several Countries To Host

[Jkp]

it was a 3 fight deal worth over 100 million which is far more than he would ever earn against any fighter lol
Stop talking **** gumbo and the fake email offer never existed and in wilders own words he turned down a far better offer for Joshua than he received for fury ....stop lying gumbo

I never disputed the 100million dollar offer.
Try reading my post again before posing garbage.

THE BOLDED IS WRONG.

DAZN offered Wilder an opportunity to leave PBC/Fox/Showtime and sign a 3 fight deal with them. This deal was done by John Skipper, Hearn was not involved because both Wilder and Finkle felt he gave them the run around in New York. Wilder made 36m in 2020...how you consider that "far less money" is anyone's guess.

You obviously didn't read what I said then because what you said was wrong, is exactly what you then wrote. Please re-read and edit your post.

Flat fees are disliked by boxers for numerous reasons. Lack of access to backends and being handcuffed to poor fights/networks are just two of them. Wilder staging his fights on Showtime was a massive boon as it got him eyes of the casual audience. This would not have happened on DAZN due to their already poor US market penetration.

As I keep saying, only idiots really fall for whatever **** Hearn has to say. It doesn't even pass scrutiny of a few Google searches. There is no "biggest offer he ever had". No one who actually thinks they're worth anything is going to be a heavyweight champion and then accept a pittance 12% flat fee alongside a rematch clause which is likely to be equally as one-sided...even if one wins.

I don't really know where to start with this.

1. Its simple maths really.. $36m is less than $120m.
2. Fighting on Showtime was a massive boon...so much so, they didn't have the confidence to make Wilder v Breazeale a PPV event. Wilder has been handcuffed to Finkel for years.
3. Only Americans think that DAZN is a US Only platform. Wilder didn't have the audience anyway - that's not DAZN's problem.
4. So before the flat fee, what was Wilder's biggest payday? Go on, look it up.

SMH.

Hearns proposal never even guaranteed a fight with AJ.
The deal involved Wilder ditching his entire promotional team and giving long term control to Matchroom/Dazn for multiple fights.

The way things turned out Wilder/AJ fight could not have happened as AJ lost his titles to Ruiz, and was then committed to rematch.

Well I guess you are technically right because Hearn didn't make the offer. John Skipper and DAZN did.

The DAZN offer was that Wilder would fight Breazeale and Joshua fought Ruiz. Considering how Wilder is now chasing Fury for his contractual third fight and that payday, its quite obvious that if Wilder signed for DAZN for over $100m then regardless of Joshua/Ruiz rematches, he would have made that money LOL, or do you think Wilder is THAT ******?

I never said anything about not making 100m. Can you not read properly?

I'm not sure what this reply relates to, so I will just assume you agree that I'm right on all the other points.

I can read just fine, thank you. I know you didn't mention $100m, I did. It relates directly to you saying; 'The way things turned out Wilder/AJ fight could not have happened as AJ lost his titles to Ruiz, and was then committed to rematch.'

So if Wilder had signed the DAZN deal, you think that Wilder wouldn't have pursued the Joshua matches regardless of a Ruiz rematch and lose out on $100m?

Wow. Divide 100m by three genius.

AJ couldnt fight Wilder, as he was tied to rematch with Ruiz.
This fact has Nothing to do with what Wilder wants.

AJ buying his belts back from obese mexican kid, who forgot to train, was the priority for Eddie/AJ.
