HAHAHA you idiot. Everything you just said 100% backs my point. I agree with you, Showtime and Al Haymon have more than enough money to guarantee AJ at least $50mn for this fight.
Who cares? AJ gets $50mn no matter what. Why does Hearn or AJ give an F if showtime or Al lose money here?

Its not about having more than enough. They are not in the business of losing money. They don't just make fights for the sake of it paying whatever it takes and then hope its profitable. Business doesn't work like that. FFS Al Haymon realised he couldn't keep operating PBC Boxing like he was due how much money it was losing. His not some charity where there is an money tree.
Adviser and manager Mere Advisers don't invest their money into fighters Manager Al Haymon has helped Floyd Mayweather Jr. reach huge payday [url]http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-mayweather-haymon-boxing-20150501-story.html[/url] You're making an absolute mess of yourself in this thread. I suggest you stop now.
Because in not replying to his previous privately sent offer, then publicising it in the US press, then sending this offer less than 24 hours before their scheduled meeting, via Wilder's account, misspelt, with no other details but including a 24 hour deadline and a tweeted video message whilst all the time others within the industry are telling him that they've already signed with Breazeale, they're not acting like people with more credibility. He's said something along the lines of 'sounds interesting but we need to know a lot more about the money, location and see a proposed contract before we can give a proper response' which seems fair enough. I didn't expect Wilder to take the flat fee on Hearn's deal and I don't expect this deal to form the basis of their fight either. This is foreplay. Hopefully in their meeting they can get down to business. Until then all the talk on the sidelines is just that.
So we are all in on a email direct from Wilder and a Instagram post? Funny how AJ says in a vid that he will take 50 million and next thing you know........ He should have said 75 million...
Fully disagree with your first point. I think they're trying to show AJ that Wilder is the shot caller, even though he isn't, as they know that's what AJ dreams of being. Hearn's BS offer also had a time limit attached and he didn't tell the press the amount because it was incredibly low and made him look like a joker to anyone not on his payroll. Hearn 100% told the media he was making/made an offer. I agree on your second point. If Hearn is legit, he'll start negotiating on the basis of AL putting on the fight in the US with a £50mn guarantee to AJ then 50-50 after that, or he'll put in a much higher percentage-based offer to do it in the UK.
