    It clashes with Canelo - GGG, it took them four weeks to accept the offer, eight week camp not enough...The excuses are pouring in at an alarming rate.

    I didn't want to believe it but from all the recent eddie hearn comments it sounds like they are blatantly ducking and stalling at this point, my guess is they have put some ridiculous terms in the contract hoping wilder turns it down, for the love of god wilder please just sign the contract what ever the **** it is.

    Hearn has always been a gigantic lying ****. Anyone who backed him and that big ***** AJ should be deeply embarrassed and hiding in shame.

    Shut your slut mouth.

    Ruiz is **** and he beat Parker

    Fury beat parker without throwing any punches

    Takam is ****, was **** and will always be ****. Just cos he nearly KO'd the drug dealing steroid monster don't make him a good fighter.

    Hearn is becoming a little annoying with his strange reasoning.

    aj still sparks wilder into the next dimension though.

    Hearn has a recurring dream where he is constantly being chased through tulip fields by windmills. He wakes up in a sweat most nights.
    This guy is the dictionary definition of shook..the first psychological round has been tensevened by Deontay.

    The reasoning behind the delay is obviously dubious, like any promoter there's a little bit of BS thrown in with everything he says.

    Any idiot can see why he's delaying it. The Canelo/GGG will effect sales, 2 big PPV's in 1 month is a bit much, if he wants to maximise revenue then it's better if it's later on. Plus everyone knows he wants more time to promote it and with his DAZN shows in Sept and Nov he has a lot on his plate around then.

    Even Wilder wanted the fight late in the year, I think it gets signed for Nov or Dec. Wilder gets to have his fight with Breazeale and maybe Joshua sneaks in a fight with Miller to build AJ's US profile if Povetkin allows it.

    I’m no Wilder fan, but the reason that fight didn’t happen was because the money wasn’t right. Parker’s team came out and said that during the Parker v Joshua buildup.

    True but that doesn't alter the fact Wilder never really chased the fight. He first called out Parker after Parker beat Ruiz Jr in Dec 2016. Parker returned the interest in a unification fight after winning the WBO belt. But it was Parker's people that made the first move and contacted Wilder's people and then they compared numbers for a fight and it became clear neither made enough to satisfy either's purse demands.

    Parker then of course instead of unifying made the fight with Fury, while Wilder planned to fight Wawrzyk but ended up fighting Washington.

    After Parker/Fury fell through Wilder came out saying he would step in, but of course that didn't happen as obviously the money wasn't there for the fight, that had already been established.

    Then Wilder just before Joshua/Wlad in April 2017 called out Parker again knowing full well the money wasn't there for a unification fight saying he would unify with Parker first before fighting Joshua. Then immediately after Joshua/Wlad, Wilder again called out Parker for a fight that was financially impossible to make.
