    Just reverse what he said and imagine Finkel said the same about AJ and Hearn.

    The response on here would be insane. The fact that Wilder's team do not even want to discuss the fight says everything.

    Fury and wilder are using each other to generate their popularity further. The draw will have worked well for them. Wilder is happy to play the long game with AJ because another decent pay day is coming. He’s clearly happy to take the risk of potentially losing and so losing the AJ payday.

    It still sold way over 70k and AJ has done over that on several occasions. Wilder and Fury did under 20k. Prior to that Fury struggled to sell tickets in his home town for the scheduled Wlad rematch. Whilst i think Wilder and Ortiz was under 15k.

    Well Whyte ain't just another opponent... he is a PPV star, Pov, Takam and Parker weren't. And if Whyte is bringing his own draw he deserves a larger slice of the pie. It's not like the AJ needs anymore money to be worrying about smaller change. AJ team does not like this fight because of the danger.

    There is plenty of money in this fight and no excuse if Whyte can make 5 mill from Chisora alone. And Whyte has put plenty of graft in to rise to the top...

    Fact that AJ team chasin Miller proves they think Miller is much easier... we all know how much the fans want the rematch.

    I agree with you on some things and not others. Whyte could be a tricky fight for AJ but I just don’t believe it will be a serious problem for him. In my opinion Whyte is too 5-7 but well below the top 3 still despite improving. I think with AJ and especially Hearn it comes down to wilder fury having their rematch around the same time and it being overshadowed. Hearn wants out of the 13th April date if he can’t get wilder or fury there.

    Agreed Whyte has every right to get a deal he feels is value.

    The whole AJ has too much money to worry is a complete nonsense. Mayweather has money, Canelo has money, McGregor has money, paquiao has made money etc etc. The idea that a fighter who has made huge amounts of money should then become some kind of charity at his own expense so everyone else can earn more is completly ridiculous.

    If you beat AJ you hold the keys to the city and can demand what you want.

    No, because there weren't any.

    Don't make crap up. AJ Povetkin was a full house.

    Well then Finkel and Co shouldnt of overpriced their tickets, they tried selling it at Canelo/Mayweather prices when Wilder wasnt even popular in his own country. Its no good pointing out that British tickets are cheaper and British PPV's are cheaper when Joshua then sells 4 or 5 times as many as Wilder and makes a hell of a load more money from it.

    Its quite obvious Finkel is holding out for maximim money and rather than accepting that they are the B side and taking a massive payout from Joshua and a chance to unify ALL the belts he is holding back, refusing to answer Eddies emails because he would rather try to prove Wilder is some sort of joint A side. But the biggest fight Finkel could choose outside of Joshua didnt even come close to matching Joshua numbers in any way. So now Finkel will try again and fail again. He cant reach Joshua numbers with Wilder.

    I dont know how big Wilder could of been in the States but protecting him and having him fight bums for 40 fights is not the way to do it, you need to shine a light on your star fighters early in their career Finkel did the opposite. Joshua isnt a massive success because tickets are cheap its because he was shoved down our throats as the next big thing.

    We don't want the rematch. Well sorry, according to AJ's Twitter poll, 4% of people want it.

    We want Wilder or Fury and have done for over a year while matchroom were ducking.

    Funny how Eddie Hearn doesn't want to disclose the terms, yet he was all over Finkel and Wilder, demanding them to present evidence of their offers, proof of funds and wanted it all publicly disclosed.

    Where are you goons suggesting it's Eddie's offers are fake?

    Because no one has doubted Hearns offers, not even his rivals. Whilst Warren and Dibella admitted the 50m offered included it to be shown on BT and they never even sent the terms and conditions to Hearn and were unwilling to negotiate when Hearn enquired.

    No because Hearn has successfully managed to brainwash most casuals into getting them to believe every word he says.

    Hearn straight off the bat implied they were liars and no way of funding the fight

    No one does business or does meet and greetsee with disrespectful parties.

    And lastly Hearn has told many lies when it comes to offers and contracts. Fury has even exposed one of his many lies surrounding contracts.

    So please don't insult my intelligence and pretend that Hearn has no reason to be doubted and his words is are as good as gold.

    I know that poll from ages ago, I meant outside of Wilder and Fury who are clearly tied up.

    The fans at the O2 clearly wanted the rematch.
