The WBC was even willing to sanction it as a final eliminator.
I agree though, Whyte vs Ortiz is a great fight and should be made. Only casuals care about a Chisora rematch.

Joshua wants Wilder. Hearn doesn't. While Joshua keeps filling stadia with safer opponents, Hearn will keep kicking this down the road.
This is all about the money Joshua makes whoever he fights while he stays unbeaten. I genuinely believe both boxers want the fight.

Originally posted by Tyistall View PostSo again, the answer is no, you don't have any proof. Also, you can't call Hearn a liar one sentence, and then quote him in another when it fits your agenda. Make up your mind. A 50 million dollar fight would take meetings and contracts idiot.
While Joshua was initially skeptical of the high offer, Hearn confirmed that it's legitimate and the money is there.
Even with $50 million on the table, Joshua is willing to make less money in order to face Wilder in the UK.
If Wilder wins, then Joshua is willing to make the rematch in the United States.
"It's the general opinion of myself, AJ and Rob McCracken [Joshua's trainer] that because of the status of AJ in the fight and what we've built over here in the U.K. that we should try and get it over here because he has earned the right for that fight over here," Hearn told Nick Parkinson.
"If Wilder wins, the rematch can be over there in America. We are going back and forth with talks at the moment and I'm confident we can make that fight. AJ appreciates he might not make as much money by fighting in the U.K. but realises that Wilder should be coming to the U.K. to fight first."
Joshua has grown accustomed to having massive crowds at his events, which recently range from 76-90,000 fans packing a stadium.
He doesn't like the idea of having his biggest fight before a watered down crowd of British fans.
"AJ asked me how many British fans could get tickets if the fight was in America and could get over and I said about 6,000 and that's after we have done 250,000 in three fights and it doesn't seem right," Hearn said.
"He's keen to do the fight in the U.K. and from Rob's point of view it's an advantage. If it's in September it gives us the ability to go outside and we would have to consider Cardiff [the Principality Stadium], Wembley, the Olympic Stadium, Twickenham and Old Trafford. AJ wants it in London preferably."

I think the sooner AJ fans can just admit Hearn turned down the $50mil and stop running around lying as if it was never an offer, the sooner we can move past there useless debates. Hearn is not innocent in this whole situation guys, hes a promoter looking out for his pockets and fighter, which does not translate into what fans want in every situation. We get it, he wanted more fights before Wilder, its not the end of the world. Aj asked for $50 mil and it was offered, he was silenced by his promoter and it was never agreed on so therefore no meetings came to actually discuss it. the justification was that AJ wanted home field advantage so they would take less to fight in the UK and not entertain the $50mil. I for one think that AJ would have took it if Hearn wasn't around, hes not scared but its business and its life.... IT HAPPENED lets just stop lying and move on instead of all this useless pride.
