The 50 million offer and the 15m flat fee can both go in there at the same time, neither one was ever going to be accepted.
Finkel is not going to advise his client to sign away any right to a potential upside.

The 50 million was real. Confirmed many times by Hearn himself (although he can never keep his story straight on anything). Confirmed by Showtime. Confirmed by Finkel.
Yes, AJ's broadcaster is Sky. But AJ is the one that asked for 50 million and he'd sign tomorrow, so it's up to his broadcaster to be willing to pay fair market value for the fight so Wilder's side can try to make their money back.
Finkel talked publicly when the 50 million offer was made that there was NO PROBLEM giving the UK rights to Sky, as long as Sky was willing to match BT's offer.
1) This was NOT an Eddie Hearn interview
2) frank Warren and finkel have both confirmed intention was to use BT
3) sky have an exclusive boxing deal with matchroom and Joshua. Any sky deal has to go through them therefore making assumptions re U.K. Side of the market irrelevant to some degree as they would have to agree that amount directly with Hearn himself!

If you withdraw it and refrain from making that kind of slur in future I'll be happy to respond to any of the points you've made.

Originally posted by Holler View PostI'm happy to engage with you or indeed anyone here on the basis of assuming good faith on either side. Once you start using terms like lying that's no longer applicable. You wouldn't get away with using that term to my face and you won't online either.

Originally posted by WBC WBA IBF View PostNo, that's not what he said. That's how Hearn spun it on IFL. And of course anything Hearn says on IFL, all AJ fans must believe it within 24 hours.

Originally posted by Fabes88 View PostDidn’t Warren himself say that bt were involved. I’m certain he said that he knew the money in the 50mil offer was there because he helped get some of it together

Originally posted by robbietor View PostThe BT part is probably true because Frank Warren advised Finkel on the details of the offer to make to Hearn - BT is a complete non-starter regardless of how much the offer is/was.

Finkel is not going to advise his client to sign away any right to a potential upside. Hearn is never going to advise his client to give up all his A side advantage and disrupt his longstanding lucrative commercial deals.
This talk will doubtless help build the eventual fight but that's all it remains.
