Eddie Hearn & AJ deserve apology

How is he being tied down, it's only a 3 fight deal. He's already fighting Breazeale and when he fights AJ you think he doesn't want a rematch clause? He fights Breazeale and AJ with or without this deal he ends up fighting the exact same 3 fights and is then a free agent.

I can't believe to spin job some of you are trying to pull off to try and justify this duck.

 

Friendly Reminder.

Wilder turns down 100 million for 3 fights he’s a duck.

AJ turns down 50 million for 1 fight -

“That offers not real, Well the offers real but it’s 50 million dollars not pounds” “He turned it down because he doesn’t want to fight in America” “Nobody would get up to watch”

 

Exactly. Why would DAZN sign Wilder up for multiple fights and not include AJ.

DAZN doesn't benefit from Wilder fighting 3 times and not once against AJ. For anyone to think otherwise is just stupid.

If Hearn and AJ didn't want the wilder fight this whole negotiation between DAZN and Wilder would never have happened.

 

You really think DAZN are signing up Wilder for a $100 mill deal for 3 fights with Breazeale and AJ only to make Wilder fight Breazeale, Kownacki and Stiverne 3, WTF are you smoking, the deal is clearly for 2 fights with AJ if they don't secure that fight they would be in breach of contract and Wilder just walks away $20 mill richer and then sues DAZN for the rest.

 

Wilder & Joshua may never fight I think we are all going to have to face up to this.

 

Agreed, also there is no way Fury and Joshua will ever meet.

 

You're not very bright, the whole point of this deal IS to make the AJ fight.
WTF????

Breazeale fight is just to showcase Wilder to DAZN audience and get mando out of the way while AJ is tied up with Miller then it's on to the main course.

 

This. Wilder isn't getting any younger either. between 3-5 fights left maybe ?
Its a duck plain and simple. I don't get it though, even if he knew he was going to lose twice to AJ, 100 million is still amazing , he will have a better reputation for it as well for fighting for the unified title, instead of being branded a bottle job and being $100 million lighter than he could have been.

 

A friendly reminder. Offers made via personal email accounts of fighters are not real.

Offers without contracts, offers which then involve no actual meetings are not real.

Lets just assess the two scenarios. Wilder emails Hearn, Hearn in return responds asking for a contract and further meetings to finalise the actual offer and what it entails. Those requests are denied.

Fast forward and the offer from the other side entails Wilder meeting with exec of the company and in turn offered gets a legitimate deal from the broadcaster.

Now which one of those scenarios actually resembles how business gets done?

 

Lol big difference is when $50 mill offered to AJ, Hearn asks to see contract or meet to discuss details, Finkel goes MIA.

DAZN offer Wilder $100 mill contract after Dibella reaches out to Skipper and guess what they had a meeting.

That $50 mill offer was as real as the Loch Ness monster.

 

Imagine just taking everything Hearn says at face value....friendly reminder that Barry Hearn confirmed it was real.

“That offers not real, Well the offers real but it’s 50 million dollars not pounds” “He turned it down because he doesn’t want to fight in America” “Nobody would get up to watch”

 

You would think people would at least look at the details of the three fight deal, such as who the guaranteed opponents are wouldn't you?

Apparently not.

 

He believed the deal was real but he also probably thought they wanted the fight when they clearly didn't. Eddie Hearn himself even said he believed they had the money that doesn't make it fact, because as you say you can't take what he says at face value. Love how you discredit one Hearn then use the words of another Hearn as fact. Picking statements to suit your argument is nothing more than confirmation bias.

 

Well if two of the Hearns are saying two different answers, one of them is correct, amirite? I'm hedging my bets on Barry in this instance.

Listen, even all-time great Lennox Lewis said he's never known a set of fans like Joshua's for rabidly trolling anyone who doesn't go along with the party line. That says a lot given he's the very embodiment of diplomacy and balanced views.

 

Let's go with the idea that the offer was real. Wilder offered Joshua a 50 million deal, as Wilder is sending Joshua offers this shows he wants the fight. So far we can agree that Wilder wants this fight.

Now if Wilder really wanted the Anthony Joshua fight why did he just turn down a three fight deal which guarantees him 100 million (not to mention the chance to fight Joshua twice)? If Wilder really wanted the Joshua fight why did he just turn down the opportunity to fight Joshua?

If Wilder's 50 million deal was actually real this doesn't excuse him from the fact he's turning down 40 million dollars for two AJ fights, yes 50 million for one fight compared to 40 million over two fights isn't as much money but this is still a huge amount of money Wilder could be earning. Also consider this: Joshua/Hearn reject Wilder's deal, why would they then proceed to send Deontay an official offer six months after?

If Wilder's offer was real, none of this adds up. Conclusion: Wilder be ducking.
