Eddie fears a Wilder blowout win over Fury, which would skyrocket his value. Eventhough current Fury isn't 2015 Fury.
Just another PR stunt. he knows full well they're not going to accept it or negotiate it before they've fought Fury, he's just trying to tie Wilder into a contract before his price goes up
Wilder and Fury have a two-fight deal. Odds are they'll not only fight in December but, depending on the success of the December show, they'll fight each other again in the spring or summer next year, likely in the UK. Hearn tried to bully Wilder and it blew up in his face. Now Joshua is stuck fighting a return bout with Whyte and the winner of Pulev-Hughie Fury in 2019. Wilder and Tyson Fury will be so big when their series is over that Joshua's going to have to do a 50-50 with both, if Joshua is lucky. Joshua is a domestic star. No doubt. But he may be limited to that, while Wilder and Fury's reputations explode globally.
So why didn’t he just do this before? Do you Hearn nut huggers realise that he knew a flat fee offer was never going to be accepted? Now he’s making desperate offers before Wilder has boxed the lineal champ with a view to increasing his commercial worth. Anyone with a three digit IQ can see this for what it is.
2 fight deal with Fury? Nooone wants to see his fat rolls for longer than they have to. Do you think this is what Espinoza is dreaming about when he goes to bed? Fury stinking the joint and feinting 200 times a round? Wilder probably has a rematch clause if he loses, standard demand for champions to make. Showtime/Haymon/Finkel know April is a hot date that will make everyone money, they are not going to miss it.
A contract of a percentage would be agreed upon if wilder wins..... So a contract can be put in place and have it placed on an actual win here so the excuse route has run its course for team Wilder . The problem is Wilder losing scraps it, so putting a long time into negotiaitions here seems unlikely. I really wouldn't put to much into this anyway ,Finkel clearly has been the problem and will continue to do so. If my pick is right and Wilder does lose it solves that problem anyway and you get the fight sooner then later bc the craziness comes to a halt. lol Don't expect Wilder to just fight Joshua should he get passed fury either,this guys head is too big and with the team he has doesn't help.
He's doing it now because it takes Shirly Winkle a month to type a reply. If they leave it till December Wilder's team will just delay it again and Joshua will be forced to fight Whyte. Wilder has said on numerous occasions it's nothing to do with the money. Yet he turned down $15m after publicly saying he agreed to it. Wilder's team have been playing games to use AJ's name to raise their profile, it's worked. Nothing wrong with Matchroom starting negotiations early. What is stopping Wilder's team coming back with counter offers? nothing.
Obviously Wilder had no profile to suggest he should get over 7 times what he made before... Obviously defeating fury he holds his own end of negotiations instead of being a beggar who made 2.1 million his highest pay day... Wilder wont even get 15 million if fury defeats him,then you'll see real crying about whats not fair on Wilders side...lol
I’m not debating this. It’s clear as day it’s a PR stunt or they’re trying to tie Wilder into a contract before his price goes up. Nothing you have to say will convince me otherwise because I’m not delusional, it’s transparent as hell
I wouldnt of bothered Eddie, unless its for 50-50 split, rematch clause for Wilder and the fight to be on US PPV and not DAZN youve got no chance. Finkel will dismiss it, say its really bad offer but he will refuse to say whats actually wrong with it because "Thats how Boxing works" even though it doesnt. Peanut Finkel is not going to put his lamb to the slaughter unless its either done in the States under his control or he gets paid a hell of alot of money.
