Joshua ''I Won't Sell My Soul For 50 million. I'm Not Here To Sell My Belts'' Confirmed Duck

Saying your interested is not the same as accepting. And then to suggest it is a pr stunt is not the right way about going about business

If someone sends you an offer of 550,000 for your property, you do not write back and say you '' yes I'm interested but I need to see that the offer is genuine because I don't believe you have that kind of money and need to see proof of funds etc. And to be honest I think this is all just for show really''. Even if that's what you truly are think, then you don't say those kind of things to the other party. It's disrespectful and unprofessional and potentially jeopardizes any deal and communications. Who would want to do business with arrogant tosspots?

Eddie Hearn is no stranger to doing business with Finkel. Shelly worked on the contract with the 40 year old Wladimir Klitschko and Hearn had no problems whatsoever. The fight got signed very smoothly.

Al Haymon managed to earn Conor 100 million. Not to mention, he masterminded the richest ppv fight ever for Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight and you want to pretend there are question marks about him funding one of the biggest HW fights in this era?

I keep asking and I've yet to hear any explanation from you Hearn apologists as to, why wasn't you asking Eddie to provide proof of funds when he was sending twitter messages to Wilder offering a flat fee of 12.5 million dollars. that's 8.8 million british pounds. Instead you were calling for Wilder to accept the offer with both hands because it would mean he would be earning more than he has ever made previously in his career.

Where is the consistency?

 

Further Confirmation of Ducking

Barry Hearn says AJ should wait a little longer and milk the public some more before selling his titles to Wilder

'The Deontay Wilder fight, if I was Anthony Joshua, I'd be leaving that for a little while.

'Not because I'm worried about Deontay Wilder but at this moment in time maybe I'm looking at 500,000 to 600,000 pay-per-view buyers. In a year, done properly I might be looking at two million, two and a half million pay-per-view buyers.'

Joshua has said he is '95 per cent' certain to fight American Wilder this year, but a deal has yet to be agreed.

Barry Hearn said: 'I said to Anthony: 'If you had six months to live I would say go and fight Deontay Wilder, take the most money, but if you're saying to me that you've got a legacy plan then I'm saying let's capitalise on it properly.'

That's his decision and his team's, because I don't do the boxing. But it's a credible way of doing business. If you start letting the fans be the matchmaker you'll end up being skint.

'When you talk about Anthony Joshua, I believe he's planning another eight years at the top.

'So if he is, and he takes that view, the only thing that can derail him is getting beaten. That fear of getting beaten is what pushes him in the gym every day.

'The reason our meeting is starting at two o'clock tomorrow is so that he can fit a gym session in in the morning. While he's got that attitude I don't have a worry about anyone beating Anthony Joshua.

'I just have the worry over whether I'm getting the maximum amount of money for my client, because that's my job. His job is knocking people out.'

You've been scammed folks.

 

I'm not going through all this crap again. It's boring we boxing purists just wish to see the biggest fight get made.

Read the latest comments from Barry Hearn begging Joshua not to take the Wilder fight and refuse the 50 million. They know the offer is real. They've been in contact with Al Haymon who has told them he isn't messing around.

How much more proof of ducking do you need? Joshua has said he would rather wait until the time is right to fight Wilder. Theses are not the words of a true champion who is willing to take on all corners, any time or any place. Those are the words of a coward.

It's as clear as day this is one of the biggest and most blatant ducks in sporting history.

 

From a purely business corporate perspective what they are trying to do with Brand Joshua makes sense

However in terms of boxing perspective it is greedy, dishonest and cowardly and ruins the sport.

The boxing fans will lose out as they will miss seeing two fighters fight each other in their prime and will be charged an even higher premium rate to watch the fight later down the line, when potentially both fighters could lose a step in their ability.

 

Tell me what other fight is Joshua going to make 50 million?

It's not about being a fanboy or appearing to have a balanced perspective on the issue.

If Wilder was coming out with all this stalling and excuses, I'd be c calling him a shamless ducking coward because I'm a boxing fan first and foremost.

It can't get any clearer that AJ and his team don't want the fight. The only thing that is left for them to do is come out and declare to the world ''Yes we're scared shitless of Wilder'
