The way I remember it, Wilder priced himself out 5 days after this letter was sent. Why should Hearn waste his time when Wilders team were clearly not serious?
Yep pretty much this. Also Finkel says himself he hasn't made an offer for the fight from his end, why is that? Hearn might not have provided him with the numbers he wants, but he hasn't done a thing to make the fight either. Which just confirms my theory neither side wants it right now. They'll stir things up blame each other for ducking like Pac and Mayweather did and sports fans will get sucked into the drama of it and build up the fight.
How disrespectful of Finkel to try and go around Eddie Hearn in an attempt to play Barry and Eddie off against each other, simply the act of a creep. So Wilder gets a half decent win and they’re empowered again and start running their game asking Eddie to put a deal together, why don’t Wilders handlers put the money up! Also, he mentions late November to make it sound like it was so long ago when in fact it’s around 3 months ago. Lots has been happening since then, Wilder signed to fight Ortiz and Joshua signed to fight Parker to name but two major distractions from Wilder v Joshua. I can’t help but come back to why Wilders team don’t go out and get the TV deal, venue and money backers sorted out themselves then put a certified and reasonable offer on the table to fight Joshua? Why is it Matchrooms responsibility to do this? They’re hypocrites, they slag Matchroom off for not sorting a deal out but where is their deal what have they done other than double talk on social media. Finally, we know they won’t accept a reasonable split and are demanding 50/50! Convert that to money and they’re demanding Joshua take a purse which is maybe £10Million lower than normal while Wilder gets £10Million more, how can that be anything other than so unreasonable that it’s a duck, plain and simple!
