    im man enough to admit when im wrong, and i had this one all wrong.
    aj needs to move towards taking those 50 million or sthu. all you gotta say is- guarantee me a fair fight inside the ring and i will be there. the 50 million was suppose to take care of all the other gripes you got.

    sweet jesus the wilder fanboys have gone into overdrive.

    "I won't sell my soul" is a reference to not seeing a contract/knowing the details.

    The fight is coming. Its almost like you Wilder fans don't want this fight? hhmmm maybe because you actually know the truth that aj is the topdog and will body your boy.

    Wilder offered the money, Anthony said "LETS ROLL". Hearn said "We are very interested". Next step is to sit down and discuss the rest of the terms and conditions. Team Wilder refused to sit down and talk, said they would not be productive. Said they need AJ and Hearn to agree to the terms 1st. What terms? The money? They did. What else do they want them to agree to before seeing a contract?

    We are still arguing this nonsense. Only 1 side refused to sit down and talk about making a deal and that was Team Wilder. How the hell is a fight going to be negotiated when 1 side doesnt want to negotiate? Or are team Wilder really being as childish as they sound? "NO YOU SAID WE OFFER YOU 50 YOU SIGN TOMORROW SO HERE IS 50 SIGN TOMORROW" We need to see a contract though. "NO THATS NOT WHAT YOU SAID".

    This isnt selling cigarettes at school this is a professional contract that needs to be drafted, looked over, agreed to and signed. Hanging on to the "But you said youd take 50 doe" is weak as hell. He will accept 50 but he needs to see what else he is accepting. Thats how it usually works.

    Joshua couldn't body an ill prepared 37 year old Takam. Couldn't put a dent in a small Joseph parker when he had a 6 inch reach advantage and had a over protective referee by his side, making sure Parker wasn't allowed to let his hands go.

    And you think he will body Wilder? :lol:

    There's only one corpse that will be slowly peeled off that canvas and you know it won't be anyone from Alabama.

    So AJ gets an email offering him $50m, and he's just supposed to say 'yes' and sign a blank contract with god knows what terms inside them?

    At least draft a contract, someone in AJ and Eddie Hearn's position is not just gonna accept an offer on face value, without knowing what they are letting themselves in for.

    Personally, I think Wilder is playing games, I've had plenty of emails offering me millions from Nigerian princes, doesn't mean they were legit.

    All we do know for certain, is one guy in his short career as shown incredible ambition in attempting to become undisputed champ, winning 3 belts in 20 odd pro fights, and the other guy with 40 pro fights has fought window cleaners and road sweepers. Yet AJ is ducking? C'mon now, let's use a bit of logic here.

    They didn't expect aj/hearn to sign the contract because no contract was sent.

    It was an offer in principle, the contract gets discussed later.

    You know, the same way Callum Johnson, has accepted an off from beterbievs team without seeing any further details on the contract.

    And posting ''lets go'' on instagram isn't accepting an offer.

    Eddie Hearn knew the offer was real from day one. This is why he is now back tracking and saying he didn't ask for proof of funds after Al Haymon reminded him who he is.

    They know who is backing Wilder, but they knew they could play the poor black man from Alabama wouldn't have the money card in order to stall and delay the inevitable and people like yourself would lap it all up without thought because the slicked backed hair man in a shirt and tie said so.

    He signs the contract unseen. Tries for a visa and is refused and then they reveal the clause that says if he doesn't show up Finkel and Haymon get all his earnings forever and ever.

    If that were true there would be a very simple way of calling the bluff.

    Send a contract.

    Answer the questions.

    Even, now steady yourself here, have a meeting!

    They don't want to do any of the above because they want to separate the commercials from the rest of the discussion, which is in their interest, Hearn won't agree because it's not in his or AJ's interest. So an impasse. You can call different sides at fault as much as you like, but the deal doesn't get made until all parties are happy. They won't 'bounce' AJ into an agreement. It doesn't work like that when you have a competent negotiator on the other side of the table.

    That's funny. When hearn offered a paltry 12 million you and others were saying Wilder should grab the deal with both hands and accept the offer.

    If they don't like the deal after seeing the full contract they are not under any obligation to sign it.

    The fact is it is standard prodecure in boxing for an offer to be made and the offer to be accepted before a contract is formulated and signed.

    A contract isn't first sent and the other parties then immediately signs. I don't know what world you live in, but it doesn't happen in this reality in any business practices.
