Shelley Finkel - I called Hearn. Hearn doesn't want the Wilder-Joshua fight.

    So what does that have to do with anything. Is he going to have a ‘next fight’ EVER? If so, why not Wilder? Afraid that jab might hit him on the schnozz?

    I'm not going to argue about when someone called someone out, because the mandatory obligations for BOTH have been met.

    So now they're free to fight.

    There is nothing preventing them from meeting. The ONLY person who is stalling is Hearn. That's it.

    Hearn isn't saying they should fight NEXT. Hearn wants to WAIT.

    Currently I think it's on the same level as a Parker fight. Both Parker and Wilder are not draws, both have one belt. What makes Wilder so special, him being louder and having a worse resume than Parker make it any bigger a fight. Potentially it could be worse depending upon what both Parker and Wilder achieve later on in their careers.

    Wilder is POTENTIALLY bigger but only if the fight is set up right. Wilder is an American and if the fight can capture US casuals imagination then yes you will be the biggest fight. There simply isn't the room for growth with Parker and his small New Zealand fan base.

    How is Hearn blocking the fight exactly? Not having it on Wilder's and your timescale isn't blocking the fight, it's simply called building a fight.

    OK, let’s quantify Parker’s “profile” in the UK. He fought a Fury in the UK for a title.

    Was it a PPV? Was it even on TV? How many tickets did he sell?

    How is Hearn stalling?

    This is the situation, Wilder and his team can't make an offer to AJ because they can't afford him pure and simple.

    So it's completely down to Hearn to make this fight. Let Hearn do his thing and get the best possible deal for his man, because Wilder has no negotiating power in the deal what so ever. None.

    Going back to your post, the only time I have seen Hearn say about not fighting Wilder next was in an IFL interview a couple of weeks ago, where he said that is because it is a stadium fight it would naturally have to be put on in the summer.

    He is known in the UK, he also has a loyal fan base , wilder doesn't have that.

    It would also be easier to cut a deal since he knows he is the b side, unlike wilder and the sky pilots demanding the fight in the USA for 50-50

    Wilder says he’ll go to England.

    What do you care about how much each side is paid?

    Joshua just fought Takam in a stadium in Cardiff and the weather was bad so they closed the roof.

    Didn't they?

    What's with the Brits thinking every fight has to be in the SUMMER?

    Didn't Wlad and Joshua fight in freaking April?

    When did April become the summer?

    Weren't those the two biggest boxing gates (indoor and outdoor) in UK history?

    AND NEITHER was held in the summer.

    BUT ... we've got to wait for summer. Obviously.

    I think the wilder fans are worried and want to cash out fight now.
    There are no winos left on the block and wilder may have to face a non bum next who might spark him

    old school fighters looked at the title shot as earning mega after you win. How times change Murphy
