Comments Thread For: Joshua-Wilder: Barry Hearn Cautions That Talks Are Dragging

[The plunger man]

Anthony Joshua said if he was given $50 million he would sign tomorrow.

How can the talks possibly be dragging? Did Juicin' J come up with more roadblocks?

maybe because again the americans cannot prove where there up front $50 million guarantee will come from lol.....but don't wory son wait tilk juicin j knocks bamboo legs wilder into orbit..its on it way son

I’m beginning to wonder if Joshua might actually leave Matchroom.

Maybe if they tried to block the fight...but that new extension is "insurance" in case he loses to Wilder.

I'd be surprised if the bum squad could scrape enough money to pay Breazeale to step aside never mind $50m upfront. Trying to play the A side with no substance is why it's dragging.

True indeed. But what if he wins?

Nah I don't think so.

Didn't he sign a 100 million worth 3 year extension just the other day?

I'm assuming (or more like hoping) that the silence from both camps means this fight might actually happen next.

Fingers crossed.

Hearn trying to pull a delahoya or Arum delay act hoping the fight would start simmering while he avoids wilder to preserve his goose Joshua.

Yeah, same. It's great to NOT hear from both sides. It's also good to hear from AJ that he isn't interested in Povetkin.

(AJ-Povetkin would just as risky IMO for Joshua without any of the excitement that Wilder-Joshua would bring)

[thack]

Just as the Hearns want!

you do know that Wilder is backed by boxing's biggest money man in Al Haymon, right? smh with these people.

The problem is that Hearn and Joshua wants the 50 million with some degree of control. You can't have your cake and eat it too!!
