Then Hearn and Joshua could respond by insisting the fight is in the UK, and then Sky would be legally inclined to show it.AJ and Hearn could do the same thing by offering the Joshua-Wilder fight to HBO ? Their is no winner in this, Haymon and Hearn need to come up with a truce.
He has Hearn on his side who i'm sure will reduce the chance of a homecooked descion or dodgy officials/cards.It's so simple take the fight in Vegas in November/December then have the rematch at Wembley in April/May where it would be summer time in the UK.Joshua is a ****** if he dosent take it
AJ fans are now being put on suicide watch all over the UK, hoping against hope Eddie thinks of some other way to get out of this fight.
Not sure i heard that. Sounds to me like he said we think it shoud happen here in our lions den, i dont mind fight 2 to be in America
No offence mate, but maybe apply some common sense? There's $50 guarantee available as the fight will be a global event and PPV on UK and US television, tv rights bought by every civilised country in the world, massive hosting fee from Vegas and Sponsorships etc- you don't generate these type of reveuens for Wilder v Stiverne/Ortiz etc. Also this who's paying the money nonsense, is not an issue for the public. It's not like Showtime, Vegas casinos etc would have an issue fronting the cash. As others have said, I knew Finkel was being legit- Hearn thought he had all cards on his side, but Haymon has literally bought their cards and has the hand. The heat is well and truly on AJ to be a man of his word and take the fight.
No promoter is going to invest millions upon millions in a fight which brings low interest. Why would Wilder be paid high figures for fighting the likes of Ortiz, Washington, Stiverne and Duhapas? Are these fighters huge names?
Thank goodness Hearn and Haymon have got together cuz Winkle and DiBella were making a right mess of things. I was suspicious of the money because 1st off it came from Wilder who does not have 50 million, then we got DiBellas crazy interview and then we got Winkle declining meetings and the only man that i believed could produce the money wasnt saying anything and its a crazy amount of money to put up. Haymon is not about giving money away so it shows he has faith in Wilder beating Joshua cuz Haymon is never guna make this money back from this 1 fight alone it needs Wilder to win and then Wilder to become a megastar off the back of it. It is a big gamble cuz if Wilder loses he is guna end up less popular than he already is.
Don't mind admitting I was one that laughed at it all. The mans career high purse is 2 mil but him and his backers can stump up 50 mil???? That was either a bull**** blag offer or they are extremely confident in recouping the dough...It turned out to be the latter...I'm convinced his going to poleaxe Joshua even though he fundamentally is terrible in comparison...War Wilder, purely because hes less of a **** than Joshua
Cant see it, that's 2 year away nearly Fury v either of them. Joshua will look a tool and ducker if its not after Povetkin
So why can AJ still make $5m+ for fighting Brezeale etc but Wilder cannot crack $1.5m for defending his WBC strap.
So Haymon finds $50 million for the AJ fight, but for all the other fights his boy Wilder gets he just finds $1.5-$2 million purses? That's hilarious. Wilder should fire him on the spot.
Watch it again...He says he prefers it in the US.But Joshua wants it in the UK...Hearn is a slick mofo with that mouth of his, UK Fans will lap it up, but US Fans have 2 Big Ears and eyes which can see a white Don King
