    You do know it was Wilder himself who sent the original offer by email, an email with spelling mistakes?

    Would you just "agree" after receiving that? And how do they "agree"?

    Do they agree through Twitter? Instagram? Telephone? Interviews? Email? Also just "agreeing" could be contractually binding depending where you.

    Or would a meeting have been a better idea? Oh hang on, there was meeting arranged and Team Wilder cancelled it, rearranged it and then refused to meet.

    Hearn and Joshua said they were very interested, the offer was taken very seriously and Hearn asked to meet Wilders team twice and they cancelled and then refused.

    As for proof of the money, I believe it was a very reasonable request, Wilder gets paid 1.5-2million a fight and all of a sudden they are throwing 50million at AJ, from where? How?

    As for Breazeale, it was the biggest known secret that Wilder had agreed to fight him, Hearn was saying this over a month ago.

    Agreeing/signing to fight Breazeale says to me is they had no real intention of fighting AJ next and this offer was just a really poor PR stunt that's actually backfired.

    The only people who are being bias or not looking at this objectively are Wilder, Team Wilder and his fans..

    Because if Hearn pulled this with Wilder, refusing meetings, insisting on agreement before giving any details, signing AJ for another fight while apparently negotiating then he would have been absolutely slaughtered.

    Was it "I'm very marketable" ?

    If it was that, well. What a grand job his team done of that In only 40 fights... :risas3:

    If fights have been agreed in principle before, then it’s reasonable to expect Hearn to do the same here.

    Having said that, team Wilder are doing a lot of this publicly, which does change the dynamic of the negotiations.

    Also, there’s also nothing wrong with requesting a meeting, regardless of how previous fights have been made. Hearn as requested a meeting, so how a previous fight was made is a mute point. I mean, it’s a meeting for crying out loud.

    The key point here is what happens if team Wilder don’t agree to the meeting? Hearn and Joshua make 10’s of millions this year, elsewhere. Team Wilder scrape the barrel, making peanuts in comparison.

    Just agree to the meeting.

    This is a guide for how to make an offer for a fight you really don't want and how to look like a fool while doing so.

    So the Miller situation is nothing like the Brezeale situation? As I said this 100% goes both ways. Hearn was even on camera saying it's Miller next. Both teams are acting shady imo.

    How are both teams acting shady?

    Hearn wanted to meet them in New York, they declined. Pretty much sums it up.

    The negotiations for this fight need to be handled properly
    behind closed doors. No releasing this or that.
    Both sides are acting completely buffoonish.

    Yes of course they are,I remember Montero saying ages ago that this fight wouldn’t happen in 2018 and I’m sure he’s right,thing is with fan pressure nowadays both sides imo don’t wanna look bad in the fans eyes so are doing all this crap just save face.

    Youre very misguided to say the least. AJ/DW is the fight people want to see and that fight is going to generate a lot of revenue. Whether you like it or not DW is entitled to part of that revenue because he is helping to generate the interest in the fight. 12 mil is a low ball offer because its a flat fee where he gets none of the ppv or arena sales which will add up to far more than 12mil. This is undeniable.
    Manny was offered a 40mil flat fee from floyd and he turned it down and all the haters thought he was dumb. Turns out he didnt look as dumb when he got 3 times that for the fight. Look man i dont give a sh!t what either guy makes as long as they get in the ring. Make the fight happen! Thats all i care about. Im all about the fight.

    You're offering the largest guaranteed purse in HW history, in a self proclaimed 'Biggest fight that can be made in the sport'.......

    Yet can't meet for a coffee or draw up a draft contract?

    But you have no issues telling Breazeale that his mandatory will be in August?

    As I posted a long time ago, Wilder will fight Breazeale next, he is owned by Haymon, was knocked out by Joshua, can't fight at all. Wilder does not want to fight Joshua, he is afraid of getting knocked out and he will......................where is the $50,000,000? If you have it prove it! It is a no show.....................
