Dibella lost a Purse bid ($7.15 million) to Povetkin.

Eastern Europeans should never fight in Vegas, they are hated there. Ryabinskiy won the purse bid, then Povetkin was framed, VADA cleared him, but Wilder refused to fight him, Haymon ordered the WBC to call off the fight for no reason, except Wilder was afraid. VADA cleared Povetkin back then and now Povetkin has beaten Wilder if courty for lying about him, Povetkin was declared innocent!!!!!!!

 

Are you joking?

Floyd was only guaranteed $25mn by AL HAYMON when he fought Marquez, so how did he possibly get a guaranteed purse of $100mn from AL HAYMON going into the Pacquiao fight? Maybe because it was a different fight, against a different fighter, years later. Just like Wilder-Povetkin I. Wilder has become a legit star since then and is coming off a win better than anything other than Fury's over Wlad.

Also, WTF has Lou Dibella got to do with anything. As punk ho Hearn always says, he's just the events coordinator. AL HAYMON has the money.

 

Ordinarily that's exactly how it works.

But this isn't an ordinary situation. In fact, with all the 50mill guaranteed purse take it or leave it nonsense, it smacks of a PR stunt. That's why many people are rightly smelling a rat.

Hearn's been given twenty-four hours to agree to an out of the blue offer of unheard of money which just happens to have nothing to back it up in writing, and extremely fuzzy, or nonexistent terms. And he's supposed to agree just like that? Why? Because of a throwaway comment Joshua made on a youtube vid that he's under no legal obligation to adhere to? Yeah, that's a great way to do business.

If Wilder's side are serious, and actually have the funds they speak of, then they need to drop the childish and unrealistic deadline, meet Hearn in person as agreed, and start the ball rolling from there, same way these things are always done.

No need for all this grandstanding. That amount of money speaks for itself.

Till then, yeah, they better have something more official than the Mickey Mouse stuff they've come up with so far, if they expect Hearn to take them seriously and respond within the timeframe they've set him.

 

sorry to break this to you. wilder is not a star.

 

DiBella has said the offer is on the table. So what if Wilder sent the email? Hearn didn’t send a contract for $12M or one for $4M to Wilder for a Whyte fight.

All Hearn has to do is say “WE ACCEPT THE $50M OFFER. SEND THE CONTRACT.” Then ask for proof of funds or whatever before signing it, which is reasonable.

Hearn has done his ‘negotiating’ in public, why is it wrong for the other side to do so? It’s a way to get both sides to the table and work it out. If they don’t have the money or cannot back up the offer, you don’t think Hearn will make that public? Of course he will, but what does “What building will the fight take place in?“ have to do with anything?

 

Hearn didn't release any numbers in public.

 

The difference is nobody except delusional Wilder fanboys believes that their side has 50million to give Joshua, yet Hearn can very easily afford to bring Wilder over to fight any of his stable if he wanted to.

 

That’s no ‘difference’ because it doesn’t matter what anyone believes. Keyboard warriors ‘beliefs’ don’t figure into the real world.

Why wouldn’t you belive Haymon can secure $50M? He got more than $400M from a hedge fund.

They either have the money or they don’t. Accept it publicly, say, “Yes, AJ will fight Wilder for $50M” then sit down and sign if they have proof of funding. If not, walk away and hold a press conference and say ‘“They don’t have the money, here is my offer, take it or leave it.”

 

That same hedge fund that has seen their investment dwindle. Yes I'm sure they are lining up to hand over more money.

 

How are people.debating if Al Haymon has money?!? Madness to me but that the yarn Hearn will spin.

 

Wilder vs Whyte's numbers weren't scrutinesed because a) they are a lot smaller and b) it wad essentially seen as an advert for Wilder Joshua in which Hearn could recoup his investment.

Wilder Joshua is the end of the line with apparently no rematch clause. How csn that be viewed as anything remotely similar?

 

It's not and the know it. The offer made to Wilder for Whyte wasn't some figure which was unusual.

$50 mil guarantee is completly unusual as fighters do not make that kind of money unless your name is Floyd Mayweather.
