And did Floyd become the A side afterwards? YES. I swear Stephanie will put you on block for this. You cant expect her to debate properly, she will now call you a Hearn Shill and she wont reply to you.
Barry Hearn confirmed the offer was real. But that's not good enough for you fanboys who still deny it to this day. The same morons who were confident that the Fury Wilder fight was just pr.
Deontay Wilder is not any of those people, Deontay Wilder doesnt bring to the table what those people bring to the table. Deontay Wilder didnt even make 10 million in his Fury PPV. Floyd, Manny, DLH, Joshua, these guys are on another level to Wilder.
You are clearly missing the point. Was DLH the biggest star in Boxing? Yes Did Mayweather get 50/50? No. Did Mayweather get 60/40? No Did Mayweather take far lesser split knowing that beating DLH meant he then became the A side and the star of the Sport? Yes Whether you thought DLH was past his prime is irrelevant. The point is DLH was still the A side and Mayweather had to accept the much lesser split to get the fight. Mayweather did that and it paid off. What he didn't do was make excuses about how his not being paid enough to fight the biggest star in the sport. Now as for Mayweather v Pacquiao. Simple question did Pacquio get 50/50? No he did not. Mayweather was the A side and got the larger split. Here is another example. Mayweather v Canelo. Canelo was given an opportunity to fight the biggest star in the sport. Did he demand 50/50. 60/40? No he did not For Saturday's fight with Canelo Alvarez, however, Mayweather has shattered his record, as he'll pull in $41.5 million guaranteed. Opponent Canelo Alvarez will make a $5 million guarantee
BT had nothing to do with Joshua being a coward and rejecting the 50 million which he asked for. Stop being dishonest and latching on to a false narrative which has already been debunked. Barry Hearn confirmed he rejected the 50 million because they were not confident in fighting in the states. Thee's nothing more to it than that. Funnily enough they are fine fighting Miller in the states. If you are not going to accept the fact that joshua rejected 50 million, in spite of Matchroom confirming the offer, then there really isn't any point discussing anything further. Just wasting my time and you can join the other joke posters on my ignore list So it's up to you really? Are we going to have a honest discussion or do you want to go on ignore?
Yes, but let's not forget that AJ himself will be earning his biggest every pay day if he meets Wilder or Fury. Heck, he will probably earn more than usual if he faces Dillian because of the numbers that Dillian is doing these days. This isn't just AJ having a set fee, you know. His earning will also be increasing, and that's not down to him only.
Can’t believe people bringing up that Barry Hearn quote , quite obviously tongue in cheek - you Americans never get our humour.
Did Eddie Hearn, Barry Hearn or Anthony Joshua recieve a contract? Are you denying the fact they didnt recieve no contract? Are you denying Finkel put on a 24 hour deadline? Are you denying it was to be put on BT Sport? Are you denying Finkel refused to meet and discuss the deal with Hearn? If you are then you are just in DENIAL to reality and truth. The proof is all over the place about all of the above but you either pretend none of that is true or you admit it is and that it was still perfectly fine for Matchroom to proceed considering how wierd and secretive Finkel was being? That offer was bollocks we all know it. It has been debunked by many people.
What, like the three other times he was recorded last year outlining (pre-Fury comeback) that there was a plan for Joshua and that Wilder was scheduled for the 2-3 year mark of it?
Yes, can't believe people would ascribe what the boss of Matchroom says being relevant to anything. Mad to think that people would make that type of connection isn't it; that the CEO of a company' would have any influence over it. Craaaaazy thinking.
Even if the contract was placed on a table in front of their eyes with the 50 million cash stashed inside a suitcase next to the paperwork, these fanboys would still argue to the teeth that it's not real. All that would be required is for Edde Hearn to hold an 'exclusive' interview with koogs and for him to tell his brainwashed lemmings that the money was counterfeit and the contract forged and they'll run with it. These people are not honest boxing fans but rather casual s who idolize and love one fighter and a con artist promoter so much that they'd rather not see big fights happen unless it involves Joshua or Hearn being on top of everything whilst believing everyone else is terrified.
