Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder, His Handlers Don't Have Decency To Answer Back

[Bonduu]

Aj had his chance long before fury got in the picture and u know it. They have unfinished business to deal with. I respect wilder for even goin for the rematch after what happened the first time around instead of taking the aj fight. They both said they want the rematch wbc has ordered it get over it. Screw Hearn and aj u think he should skip over unfinished business to cater to aj when aj had plenty of time last year to make all his best offers. Nah I really hope it shows in aj next fight how the people are tired of the milking bs.

Lolsss, Wilder fan girls know if Wilder steps into the ring with AJ, he gets knocked out, you all should tell your already beaten paper champ that he should run run run, AJ would still catch up with that bum!

you're not a boxing fan.

Boxing fan isn't a HUGE part of my identity so comments like that are irrelevant to me.

Exactly. If the offers of 60/40 are true, then the ducker accusations need to go away. 60/40 is more than fair. Especially with a 50/50 rematch deal if they take his titles (and in the US in Wilder's case).

By if Wilder wants to fight Fury and vice versa then fair enough. Hopefully the winner gets an improved offer. The loser will get no offer.

That's the chance they are taking.

I still think Fury might be the one to surprise people.

50/50 would be dead to the loser, for sure. That's what I was saying. 60/40 is a very reasonable split if we're being honest. The vast majority of people who I have heard talking about the subject agree on this, whether that's past fighters, journalists or anyone else.

The only way that you could really consider a 60/40 split in favour of a guy who has 3 of the major belts and a history of generating far more revenue than anyone else in the division a low-ball offer is if you have an axe to grind.

Your cherry picking what I'm saying then.

Im saying to whoever WINS the rematch losing maybe ~$8M out of the deal to accept the fight now IS a lowball offer cuz 8mill is a lot of f#cking money to give away for a fight you expect to win as I'm positive both men do.

There is risk as mentioned over n over, but there has been risks the whole way for all 3 of these guys so its nothing new for any of them.

And in fairness I was having fun saying lowball in my initial post you keep bringing up more than I was legit saying 50/50 was a lowball offer so strike that comment as a serious one & insert it as a joke on "Lowballing" Eddie Hearn cuz let's not bs thats what he's becoming known for with all these Joshua opponent offers, the losing purse bids to tightwad Bob & not being able to sign a A-list American fighter to Matchroom USA.

Im no Wilder fan but he said it how it is... team hearn know what we want in order to make the fight... untill thats offered theres nothing to discuss...
So all of hearns so called emails are just media stunts... wilders side have made it clear what they want so either offer them it or just shut up and go on your jolly way and fight that fat bum miller... (which was always the plan it seems)

Shows clearly Wilder don’t want that fight and he prefers feather fisted Fury whom he already lost to, you Wilder fan are a joke, your prima donna champ is behaving like a drag queen, he would not even pick his phone to entertain the fight, if he wants to be undisputed then he needs to at least have Shelly have a seat with Hearn, is that too hard? You dumb fan girls bring shame to boxing with Wilder the alpha shemale!

At this point would it be a surprise?

And I'm a cat who picked Fury in the first fight lol. And I thought Fury deserved to win the first fight as I believe most did. So idk that Fury winning will be a surprise to anyone the 2nd time around.

I think Fury beats Joshua too assuming he doesn't go off the rails obviously.

[The plunger man]

So 8 figure paydays aren't huge anymore? Based on 325K buys, Wilder's debut didn't gross more ppv than Joshua's last 2 fights? It's crazy how you can be so arrogant as to insult me, and not understand basic math.

he has been offered more to fight Joshua and he won’t fight , and it’s for all the belts and in front of a 90k packed stadium., not insulting you gumbo , stating the basic truths, gross is not what go’s in your pockets so he did not earn more than Joshua did in his last two fights , plus they were giving arena tickets away like they were M&M’s so do you have figures on the wilder vs fury fight grossed ? Because if you don’t shut your pie hole and stop plucking numbers out the sky lol

It is disgusting that they wont even phone or email confirmation of anything Hearn has sent or their intentions further down the line. But then they did the same thing last year when Hearn and Joshua were chasing Wilder down. They went all unresponsive and awkward until it was too late and then all of a sudden they were back to making loads of noise. It sounds like Hearn has realised hes wasting his time and is pursuing Miller or what ever, so now im sure all of a sudden Wilder and Finkel will get all vocal again.

Anybody who has watched or been involved in the sport long enough will of seen all this before with other Boxers. Its clear duck moves, tried and tested avoidance tactics. And i would be willing to just accept its just one of those things that didnt happen but when i look back at Deontay's resume and things Finkel and Wilder have said to other fighters before Joshua and the fact his resume is one of a very protected fighter. It all is quite simple, Wilder has been running from Joshua, he ran from Wlad, ran from Whyte, ran from Povetkin, ran from Parker, just shut the door on the lot of them.

Then we get Luis Ortiz who the networks threatened to get rid of Wilder unless he faced him cuz they were sick of Wilder not taking on challenges, then we had Fury who had to get on the phone and tell Wilder and Finkel that he was no threat and was just a fat man looking for a paycheque. Only then did that deal get done.

This has been one of the biggest ducks in this sport for a while and they are not going to have the decency to reply to Hearn because they want to pretend him or his world champion fighter dont exist.

Only a rabid AJ hearn fanboy would need to write a rant that long, which no one will read.

He was offered a rip off deal. His last fight pulled in more than Joshua's last 2 fights, and the rematch likely will too. He offered Joshua way more than Joshua is making now, so by your logic Joshua ducked Wilder as well. Giving tickets away at a casino has nothing to do with PPV buys. Gross isn't what you take home, but if you're generating more PPV money, you deserve more than a flat fee from a guy who doesn't generate as much as you. I never said Wilder makes more, but his fights bring in more than Joshua's. You being a child isn't going to change reality. That's how you state basic truths.

325000 * 74.99 = more than Joshua sold, so Joshua is going to keep hearing crickets while Wilder and Fury upstage him again. Could have taken the $50M but he was cotent to duck. Could have also given a fair split, but was content to duck.

[fullers]

They wernt quiet. They asked to see a contract that never came. Negotiations then continued and ended when wilder accepted another offer

hearn and aj admitted the 50 million offer turned out to be genuine, then said its not about money now it was about fighting where they wanted it. They just don't like it because they said everyone needed aj, but wilder and fury fight each other in top fight and doing it again. Aj can't even agree to fight another hw who's on same promotional team. The only person refusing to agree to fight amongst all the others is aj, even for the lion share of money
