Comments Thread For: Hearn: We Want Wilder Now, It's Biggest Fight in World Boxing

[markther]

Not if Mayweather vs Manny gets signed and scheduled. Surprisingly the lower weight marquee fighters have among the highest PPV buys in history.

Of course hardcore boxing fans will prefer to watch Joshua vs Wilder; I know I will. But Floyd and Manny will draw more PPV’s than their fight. You will see some common themes below.

And you may pick up something else, why Floyd wants Manny and if he beats Manny and Conner wins; why he will want Conner again. Doesn’t matter what fans think, it’s all about the money. And the PPV is only a part of the revenue. Interesting...

1. Floyd vs Manny 1...4.6 million PPV buys

2. Floyd vs Coner....4.3 million PPV buys

Your question already exposes AJ and Hearn, because common sense would have it the fight will be discussed and signed for AFTER Wilder gets done with Fury.

BUT here are AJ and Hearn tonight saying Wilder has to sign for the fight BEFORE he fights Fury. Which makes no damn sense.





They are already lining up an excuse.

It’s not really not that unusual? If wilder wins does it matter? If he loses fight is off anyway? Don’t really understand an argument why this needs to be delayed? Wilder doesn’t even need to know the detail, let his team deal behind closed doors with that one.

Not impressed with Joshua at all. AJ was repeatedly hit with the straight right from a heavyweight who has short arms and is wide open for a looping left hook. Wilder stops this chump in 6. They better pray Fury lands a miracle shot and stops the AJ vs Wilder fight because there is no way in hell AJ beats Wilder

Yeah AJ was caught but was he ever hurt? His nose was bust but he took every punch well and was never wobbled or looked in genuine trouble.

Compare this to when Wilder fought Ortiz. Caught multiple times also. Key difference is twig legs couldn't take a punch and was doing a silly dance only to be saved by the bell.

Not only is this Wilder's biggest fight that he needs to focus on, they are seeing how big his stock raises due to the results of the fight. So yes it's unusual, especially if Hearn insist on stupid deals that involve flat fees.

Well the offer is simple really. He either negiotiates over the next 8 weeks OR Joshua fights someone else in April and he has to wait longer. If wilder wants the fight enough he will do that, as I said it’s the team behind who do the talking.

Hearn did actually hint he is already talking with finkel, which given the publicity previously when talking - sounds like they may actually be discussing properly behind doors and that’s a promising sign

Well it is simple really. If AJ wants the fight enough he will wait for the opponent he wants to finish his business, like most fighters do in this scenario. Rather than create some unusual demand like he is doing now.

They did seem very determined to get Wilder signed up for the April 13th date. In the press conference they even said they want the signed contract sent back from Wilder even before the Wilder vs Fury fight takes place in December so that they have an opponent confirmed before Jan.

[JWHardin]

Hearn said himself that Wilder will get a bigger slice of the pie if he beats Fury. Why would Wilder negotiate that fight before he knows the result of the one in front of him?

Man, some of you here amaze me with your "logic".

Soon will come a deadline from Hearn, which hopefully team Wilder tells them to FO. Hearn and AJ have lost the barganing power they had by ducking Wilder. Go ahead and fight Whyte.

[Nightfall]

They said the right thing in front of the fans and media but will use this victory as their 20th road block. They are cornered to fight the Wilder-Fury winner doe!!!! 🥊
