The reason why Wilders people are willing

[Raggamuffin]

The UK is a small economy and the people have small minds. No UK promoter can pay much money even Warren included who used to pay Ricky Hatton only £400k and felt like he Had paid him the moon. Hearn didn't want this fight and mentioned $50m thinking that sum was unachievable which is rubbish. Haymon has dealt with the likes of Mayweather and knows he can generate money so Hearn will have to accept the fight

Money will come from Casinos, sponsors and TV stations. Also Al haymon is confident Wilder can win and increase revenues and even if Joshua wins Al haymon will just sign him and continue making money. Hearn is a small boy compared to Al Haymon.

Well said. If anyone knows how to do businessl it’s Haymon.

Wilder's team just want a yes, not to sign a contract right now. There is no reason Joshua's team can't fall back if they don't see the money. Joshua himself said he would accept right away if it was 50mil, there's nowhere to run

Lmao lol...

Hearn can certainly pay big money.

Who has Hearn paid and how much? Can you compare that with Al Haymon? Al has broken every record under the sun. Up to now Hearn can't see where the money will be coming from and he is like a rabbit dazed by them headlamps and he wants to he shown the safe where $50m is. He is a small boy in business terms.

I think it's a safe bet that Wilder and AJ will not be fighting each other next. I hope I am wrong.

In my heart of hearts, I believe that the Wilder offer is to show that they don't take Hearn serious-AT ALL. Haymon cancelled a meeting with Edward on the strength that he knew that they wouldn't take the offer which is why Edward keeps asking "where is the money coming from". Haymon saw this a mile away from the flat fee offer. Haymon deals in big business if you're talking big business. Hearn isn't a big business deal maker.

They believe that Anthony's collecting of trinkets was fraudish. His titles aren't the real title anyway. They acknowledge the UK market is good to Joshua and Joshua only, but it isn't what it seems which is why they called Hearns 12.5 a lowball offer. They're used to doing that over there. It's worse when guys aren't making good money at all.

Wilder owns the legit title. They won't be sending Anthony 50 mil. He's never even made half that in the UK. Haymon and Finkel and Dibella have done big business for years. Edward outside of Anthony has done what?

Haymon and Co. can generate that kind of money but they really don't want to do business with Hearn because he's a nobody outside of Joshua. They know that Edward is holding on to his cash cow. Once they saw Edward and Anthony's reluctance, they made the decision-lets see if Anthony really wants the fight. And imo came up with the $50 mil offer. They wanted to see if he'd agree in principle. And what did everyone read today?

"Where is the money coming from"? And Anthony's fanatics are hypocrites because they justified the "flat fee" offer and when Wilder's fans asked questions, they said Wilder would make 6 times more than he's ever made, lmao.

They have the mind set that Wilder brings nothing to the table because of his past paydays. But that isn't how boxing operates. If there is any hvw outside of Joshua who can bring something to the table it's Wilder. But Edward has no vision.

Before Joshua did you know fast Edward?

Why am I saying all of this? First off the lowball $12.5 which even UK fans said was bogus IS bogus. Second, because the WBC has announced that Whyte must fight Ortiz. Third, once I heard the meeting between Edward and Haymon was cancelled, I knew that they weren't going to take Edward serious. And lastly, once they heard questions about where the money was coming from...they saw how truly reluctant they are to make the fight. I don't know if this fight will ever get made.

Anthony is a ****en coward, and his promoter is "cheap suit" wearing salesman.

[Raggamuffin]

Edward feels like Anthony doesn't need to tap into the US market by fighting such a dangerous opponent in Wilder. The way that Edward wants to do it is take a fight against a lesser guy like Miller and showcase Anthony in the US, go back to the UK and say this about Wilder and never make the fight thinking that they have an air tight alibi to avoid Wilder. That's why Anthony will be rich with no repsect and he will rot in the U.K unless he fights Wilder.

Hearn can certainly pay big money.

All Hearn has proven is that he’s small time.
