I am more inclined to believe the Hearn version of events, rather than the Wilder version, for two main reasons; AJ has a lot to lose taking the Povetkin fight over Wilder (financially and regarding his legacy, if he loses). The other reason, and more importantly is; Hearn has a history of sticking to the facts, whereas Wilder has a reputation of talking absolute bullshit.
Blair Fraser that’s what I was thinking. Fighting Povetkin isn’t worth the risk when you consider he might lose a massive payday and Hearn knows that I assure you
Right, lots of casuals and ignorants, as almost all bumsquad fans are, say that hearn doesn't want this fight, why would he not want it? he is a boxing fan too and it is making him rich lol, all these idiots are making no sense at all...
They are making him fight Povetkin idiot he's not choosing to! It's his mandatory and the WBA is making him take that as his next fight or they are stripping him. Didn't you watch the video. So you saying you believe the Hearn version because of that is fuckin dumb.
Beezy Talking Shit you think I didn’t listen to the video. I know Povetkin is a mandatory challenger but I was saying that he should have found a way to make Wilder happen so he didn’t have to fight Povetkin. He could have made more fighting Wilder and increased his brand. Instead he’s fighting a guy that isn’t a big draw and has potential to beat him do to his punching power.
gotta disagree povetkin was saved by the bell against price 30 seconds more and he would have been ko if it wasn't for prices legendary glass chin he would have won I don't see much risk for aj imo
Have too agree with some comments, Eddie at least makes himself available to be questioned time and time again, whilst Shelly Finkle hides away. Can’t really see how Shelly can argue against those facts. Team Wilder were well and truly smoked out!!
Get interview with shelly l! You scold this man Eddie but he's the only one with the balls to give these interviews... Get shelly and ask all the points Eddie brings up! Funny how shelly dont want to do that!
omotola olagunju Agree. I hope Hearn is not distracting AJ w/Wilder. He needs total focus on Povetkin. He is way more dangerous than Wilder. That is why Wilder ducked him all the way to the court.
Stuart Brown Man Aj ducking Where he at He's been quiet as a mouse Hey Big Baby Miller said he's a punk Tyson Fury and Lennox knows he ducking Brendan Schab a UFC guy saying they didn't want the fight and a lot more people said it Go do ur research before talking
Dante Gaskins The only one ducking is Wilder, has ducked 4 seperate offers from different fights in 9 months. How gullible are you for believing his BS? Loool
I see where you’re coming from but I think the world just needs too look at the resumes, Joshua has proved time and again he’ll fight anyone. He’s still a relative novice for the amount of fights he has had ( half the amount wilder has had, with better names ) Don’t think anyone can deny Joshua the fight in the uk, he’s earned it.
Hugh Janus it’s pretty clear who is ducking who here. What I miss about the 80s-90/s people Fighting because they wanted a war. Just because they loved to fight no one cared about a loss. Wilder needs to shut the fuck up and take the fight anywhere anytime. Sj needs a real test, the next fight for him is such a risk.
Ant 718 ... Until you realize that Joseph Parker allegedly got somewhere between 30%-35% of the pot to make the same trip. Wilder and Parker aren't the same attraction, and that's obvious
scipio2009, which is why Wilder is getting more than twice the money Parker made, and Parkers belt too, its important that you realize that!, Parker was not getting the chance at Undisputed, that's a huge difference, Wilder is getting the chance at all that, plus more than twice the money without having to do any of the hard work gathering the belts together. the attraction is Undisputed, not Wilder!. and Wilder did none of the hard work.
Ant 718 Keep listening to him then Do ur research my man he's a liar my man He only cares about putting money in his pocket He's a promoter and don't care if the fans get the best fights available Wilder and Aj should be fighting next It would have been a great fight I believe Both men are real talented
Absolutely, actions speak louder than words... check boxing records. Check paper trail on this deal behind team Joshua v team Wilder, there is no paper trail behind team Wilder... sign the contract
Quick, concise, articulate, chronological explanation here from Eddie, you won't find that from Wilders side, loud shouting and swearing for an hr that won't deal with any of these points efficiently. We all know who's ducked it, and continue to duck .
This is so straight forward even for the Kindergarten kids to comprehend, the only people who will find this to be too complex are those with learning difficulties. Some are even saying Eddie is the one stalling the fight, and if that is true, I think Wilder should just sign the contract which he already agreed to the terms. Wilder only accept the terms thinking A.J is already signed for Povetkin fight, that's what he normally do, but it back fire this time
Larrypint the fact that you believe African Americans cannot disagree with the words and or Integrity of a white man sorry this is not the UK, they haven't tamed the American black as much as they tamed the UK black to believe I'm white and I say so. Before you do the typical remove context play the victim deflect, filibuster, then insult you brought race into this
guesswho8512 No-one is saying "believe me, I'm white". Did you hear Eddie Hearn say that? He is not asking anyone to "believe" him - least of all because of his skin colour. This has nothing to do with him being white. It has nothing to do with anyone's skin colour. Seriously, what a stupid comment.
Wilder was never serious about the fight. Always desperately seeking attention and validation, poor guy. He should sign with Eddie and sort his career out like a professional adult.
Indeed, if I were him I'd do just that. I'm still lauhing about Wilder saying 'Eddie Hearn is just a white man milking out a black man'... Hearing that, and then looking at the facts and numbers, lmao... This clown makes no sense at all, and his overblown ego would never allow to work togethere with a guy like Hearn, who could actually make a him a star, which his whole team of management has failed to do over the many years...
Wilder made ZERO effort, he only went on social media to sucker chumps like you in. You have no idea what's going on, lol. Wilder has declined 4 offers in the past 9 months from different fighters, he's never had a unification and has no interest in being undisputed. AJ however has been hunting down titles and belts from the start, has achieved more than twice as much in half the time and has made offers to Wilder many, MANY times his best pay day... and still, Wilder ducks. No wonder he earns less than a 10th of what AJ does, because Wilder does sweet fuck all, he's nothing. Deal with it.
Nah, it's Wilder who is running scared... he'll never face up to a unification and never be undisputed and he'll never get the pay day he wants, why? Because he's not willing to put the work in. Chump.
THATS HEARNS FUCKING PROBLEM HIM MAKING SENSE TAKES AWAY FROM A POSSIBLE FIGHT >>MONEY MONEY MONEY NUMBERS FUCK EDDIE HEARN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS SHIT MAKES ME HATE ENGLISH BOXING I HOPE POVETKIN DESTROY JOSHUA BRO SMH IF HEARNS WASNT WITH AJ ID FEEL DIFFERENT BUT BECAUSE OF HEARNS POWER I CANT STAND TO WATCH AJ ANYMORE!!!
King Edward II has spoken and his followers will treat it like gospel. I didn't even make it 1 minute in and he already spouted a bunch of bullshit. "Wilder was just using Joshua's name for publicity!" Which is why he made a 50 mil offer to you, right? "Wilder is the least paid Heavyweight champion ever!" Yeah, you know, not including Joseph Parker, Charles Martin, the current WBA regular champ Manuel Char and the tens and tens of unpopular, nobody champions of yesteryear that have been forgotten.
I JUST WANT AMERICA TO RUN HIS ASS OUT OF HERE WITH AJ TIED TO HIS FUCKING BACK SMH THIS DUDE PISSES ME OFF EVERYONE WANTS THIS FIGHT!!!!!! HE NEEDS STOP SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STAY IN ENGLAND WITH AJ
Anytime I listen to a Eddie Hearn interview (which there are many) compared to a Shirley Winkle interview (which there are very few) he always goes into more detail and makes more sense of it
Hearn doesn't even need to say all this stuff. Anybody with a brain who read all Finkel's bogus pr stunt articles from the last month or so already knows who's playing games here. And his name rhymes with winkle.
Dante Gaskins You say this but if it's lies why doesn't Wilders team come out and defend them selves? It would easy to do just ask Eddie to prove he sent them what he says he did. They don't because they can't
Dante Gaskins Hearn takes roughly 10% of AJ's fight earnings. AJ fights for a minimum of £15-20m now. So Hearn gets £1.5-2m from that. So, he makes the same, if not more than Wilder without stepping in the ring..lol
Eddie done the right thing by leaving the contract on the table, and if i was Eddie i wouldnt get involved with all the he says you say stuff because all your doing is making his lame fights in america bigger, i dont understand why Eddie never mentions the fact Deonty was saved by the reff in the Ortiz fight Wilder was gone until the reff stepped in it wouldnt of happened the other way around.
Fat Apples 17 hours ago Actually Hatman, your whole breakdown of Wilders opponents was actually really hilarious.....but you need to see what I am about to post below These my friends are Wilder's opponents and where they were ranked when he fought them. Now I've heard of bringing a fighter along slowly but REALLY??? There are on average 1,393 Heavyweights ranked in the World and Wilder fought 19 fighters that couldn't even make that cut. How anyone can support or even respect this FRAUD is beyond me??? 1st Ethan Cox, wasn't ranked 2nd Shannon Gray, wasn't ranked 3rd Richard Greene Jr, wasn't ranked 4th Joseph Rabotte, ranked 393rd in the World 5th Charles Brown, wasn't ranked 6th Kelsey Arnold, wasn't ranked 7th Travis Allen, wasn't ranked 8th Jerry Vaughn, wasn't ranked 9th Ty Cobb, ranked 399th in the Heavyweight World 10th Alvaro Morales, wasn't ranked 11th Dustin Nichols, wasn't ranked 12th Shannon Caudle, wasn't ranked 13th Harold Sconiers, wasn't ranked 14th Dan Sheehan, wasn't ranked 15th DeAndrey Abron, wasn't ranked 16th Reggie Pena, wasn't ranked 17th Damon Reed, ranked 304th in the World 18th Dominique Alexander, wasn't ranked 19th Daniel Cota, ranked 489th in the World 20th David Long, wasn't ranked 21st Marlon Hayes, ranked 368th in the World 22nd Jesse Oltmanns, ranked 492th in the World 23rd Owen Beck, wasn't ranked 24th Kertson Manswell, ranked 310th in the World 25th Damon McCreary, ranked 357th in the World 26th Kelvin Price, wasn't ranked 27th Matthew Greer, ranked 325th in the World 28th Audley Harrison, ranked 136th in the World ☆☆☆29th Siarhei Liakhovich, ranked 43rd in the World, Siarhei Liakhovich was a blown up, washed up way past his Prime Cruiserweight.☆☆☆ 30th Nicolai Firtha, ranked 121nd in the World 31st Malik Scott, ranked 86th in the World 32nd Jason Gavern, ranked 194th in the World 33rd Bermane Stiverne, ranked 4th in the World (Although was only that false ranking due to an Arreola win, a free title and never beat a top 30 opponent) 34th Eric Molina, ranked 37th in the World 35th Johann Duhaupas, ranked 34th in the World 36th Artur Szpilka, ranked 24th in the World 37th Chris Arreola, ranked 43rd in the World 38th Gerald Washington ranked 41st in the World 39th Bermane Stiverne "UNRANKED" 40th Luis Ortiz - 48 years old
Mr issacs , Well if you bothered to read it properly, you would have seen that I didn't write. Its by a RUclipsr called Fat Apples, i just copy & paste it. So it would make more sense to have an argument with him . Im just passing on someone else's opinion, My personal opinion which is a lot less intelligent conversation 40 wins 40 tomato cans.
we are not idiots!, we can read records, I think wilder delusionaly believes that getting to 51-0 will get him the same money and respect maywether has??? it won't.
AJ has sent contracts to 4 world champions, only one champion was too afraid to accept, (the one he offered the most money and belts to ducked it) AJ fought 3 of the ones that were not afraid, fought 4 of the current top ten, unified twice, is fighting a top 3 in his next fight, fought an all time great, and is only 21fights into his career. Wilder has never sent contracts to any other champion, has never unified, has only fought 1 guy in the top ten, has never fought anyone that is tall 6'5+ with a long reach 80''+ that can hit hard 85%+ and has avoided that sort of fight. imo. and he is 40 fights into his career, only one of these guys has a weak resume.
With respect he was a promoter b4 AJ turned pro - your earnings depend on your stable - what is glaringly obvious is that he has done a far better job for his client than Deontay's 3managers.
i understand that he did a way better job for boxing as a whole,but just saying that Eddie is way more financially stable than anthony joshua and gets paid well for his job and thats why shelly doesnt earn as much
Removing things that can be argued just look at the things that can't: The timeline - they had an offer for 4 weeks and were well aware that the WBA had called the mandatory Wilder has an offer of 7x more than his biggest pay day but calls it Crackhead money and now says 50/50 or nothing Form for ducking and avoiding is all on Wilders side, as Eddie says, the resume speaks for itself All of the above is irrefutable, yet a lot of Wilders statements since are basically crazy over the top emotionally charged nonsense i.e... 15M = Crackhead money Joshua's team are doing a bad job (he's worth 3x more than wilder in half the fights in a country not even a 3rd of the population) and so on..... Forget about the fact it's Eddie Hearn and he's a salesman, these are true facts, you can't honestly look at this and think Wilder and all of his managers aren't the ones stalling.
Its gets better, Hearn said hed pay Wilder 5 million to fight anyone of Wilder choice as long as he fought AJ for 15 million next. The gap is bigger AJ has made 50 million already, Wilder has made just over 10. Its actaully less then a third the UK has about 70 million people the US has over 340 million, thats 5 times more, so hes making 5 times less i a country with 5 times more people so hes earning money at a 25th the rate of AJ if you look at population pool to money earned.
Dante Gaskins why is Eddie lying.. show me your way of thinking with facts... convince me!! Because most of what Hearn is saying is facts that isn't disputed by both parties! And as of Wilders opponents & him ducking Klit even you with minimal research can see thats true without Hearn making it up! So what part as according to Dantes truth is he lying about..
Clinton Payne Come on my man I jus want to see the fight homie and Eddie is the biggest road block in the way Im not being bias towards anybody my man Go look up what Tyson Fury,Big Baby Miller, Lennox Lewis,Brandon Schaub and few more other people are saying about it Just do ur research and hit me back
Nick Elsden I think u need one sir It's not my fault u can't accept the truth Dam man all u need is some common sense to figure out Eddie Hearn 😂 Guess u just don't have it
I have read and watched the information provided by both camps and will say, this makes more sense to me. Wilder's team dont appear to want the fight. Simple. Anyone who thinks otherwise is simply a fan of Wilder and is really not thinking rationally. I like both guys but just stating what is obvious
UK fan here. I believe somewhere along the line there was some confusion about Eddie asking for proof of funds and I believe I know what happened. Eddie definitely said he wanted to see proof of funds but that was only in INTERVIEWS and that is because the offer came from a fighter. If a fighter has not earned more than $3m per fight it is not unreasonable to ask for proof of funds. But this is where the confusion comes in. I believe Eddie then spoke to Wilder's representatives (not Wilder) and they confirmed verbally that the money was there or could be raised. Eddie must of thought that if they say the money is there then it must be and at that point he never insisted that they still provide proof. He then said "Ok, we are interested, can we see a contract" but Wilder's team refused to issue the contract until Hearn and AJ accepted. Now, many yanks say "he is lying". No he aint, y'all just hella thick. IF the money was being paid by Wilder himself then yes, Hearn wanted proof of funds and money put into escrow. But Wilder's team were raising the money and therefore Hearn felt that was good enough!!! Do you get it now? FML
He says it's not about the money, but doesn't want to give Wilder more than 15-30% max. He wouldn't give him 40% even if it meant cementing the fight with whatever stipulations he wants.
Wilder is worth atleast 40%. Hearn is lowballing him. You can't go based off previous numbers because those are different opponents. This is the fight everyone and their grandma wants to see. Mayweather got 28 Million for his fight against Berto. Then he got 370 Million for his fight against McGregor.
That's not even what I'm talking about. Mayweather got 28 Million one fight, then he got 370 million the next because of how popular his opponent McGregor was. McGregor got around 30%. Hearn won't even give Wilder 30%. Hearn is lowballing him. He'd be making more fighting Tyson Fury instead.
You got that wrong, it's Wilder that brings in the money, not the WBC belt. This is projected to be a 100 million dollar fight with Wilder. Without him it's not half that. WBC belt or not. If he gave Parker 30% why won't he give 30% to Wilder? He offered Wilder at most 20 Mil. Give him his 30 million and stop low balling.
That's like saying Floyd Mayweather didn't bring any money to the McGregor fight because his fight before he only brought in 28 Million. Then his next fight he brought in 370 Million. He only got 2.1 Million because he was much lesser known then and no one cared too see him fight 40 year old Ortiz. If Wilder isn't bringing in any money then why is Hearn projecting it to be a 100 Million dollar fight? None of AJ's previous fights were 100 million dollar fights... Maybe not 50% but at least 30% which would be 30 million. It's not about him fighting the level of opponents AJ has that makes him deserving of 30%. He deserves it because he brings in the money.
ojgom17 Go look at AJ resume on the internet of who he's fought. You clearly are wrong! You are just a DW fanboy who doesn't like hard facts! Or your just born stupid!
Cyronica Povetkin a kid who lost to Price?? Haha you clearly don't know anything about boxing!! Only AJ has fought all the top ten fighters! DW hasn't fought any apart from Ortiz but he had high blood pressure and nearly knocked DW out but was saved by the referee!! Can't argue with DW fan boys even when the hard facts are staring at you! Get a life!
So where is AJ right now to defend himself... Oh yeah he's hiding like a punk its pretty joke how everyones bummin AJ when tyson fury is the only good heavyweight boxer from the uk about right now making moves. AJ is a waste of time both DW and TF know this but keep spreading your shit so more AJ retards can read it
why not its all LDBC do day in day out,look for the slightest snippets of negativity from so called experts and has beings, and put a whole complete different spin on it to discredit to suit there bias negative narratives,i hope also GGG fucks up canelo good style and shuts them cunts up
Is that why Bumsquad turned down 15mil$ (Which he never earned in all his fights combined togethere)? You casuals are so ignorant, Wilder is full of shit and can only talk, saying he doesn't care about the money bla bla, then turning down that offer he will never get again, but we get it, he prefers to fight bums and nobodies, exactly what he has done over all these years... Even in his own country he is hardly known, then don't go cry on social media, cuz of your own jealousy and frustration, but you just fucked it up for yourself son... #Bumsquad.
The truth is wilder fans can hate on Eddie and call him the devil and all that but the facts is that wilder team is not interested in the fight and have clearly used Joshua name to push ppv on wilder next fight as all the trolls who go around hating on anything that involve America and another country have all of sudden appeared. Eddie has not delayed In his responses unlike wilder team who seem to go silent until they see a opputunity to make some noise like when they thought the povekin and Joshua fight was signed then wilder team accepted Eddie terms till they realised it was not then they went quiet again and wilder fans latch onto anything and try and twist it like when Hearn said he sent the contract and wilder channels and fans was saying he never sent the contract till Shelley talked about receiving it lol look likensheep behaviour to me. To me this just look like a trump tactic of using the dumb American to further yourself trump as wilder fans can associate with wilder as neither wilder or his fans are that bright.
@ Ben Clark - all wilder fans are from some outback shit hole caravan park in Alabama who can't talk correctly & only yell "bomb squad" on queue as if its delivering them some form of higher salvation. The worst of American social culture on display in Wilder and his fans. Respect to you Mr Clark.
Twitch Fortnite Highlights AJ scared of a clown who nearly got knocked down by a old Ortiz. AJ is 100x better than Ortiz Wilder can’t handle someone like that. Just get it thick in your dumb ass skull
Paulinho04 YT you’re obviously not smart what so ever and don’t understand boxing and that’s why you’re behind a screen talking big just like aj is lmao stfu
Wilder's ploy all along was to get 50/50. He's very crafty. I think he's needed in this HW division, but it was Wilder and his team that caused this fight to go down the drain. Hearn may be sneaky but he delivers and has his shit together.
There are several points that need to be addressed 1. Wilder wanted his fight with AJ to be his next fight and he wanted it no later than October or November of this year. 2. Wilder may have agreed to one-sided rematch clause but certainly not to the officials' clause in which only Team Joshua has input on the choice of officials. No one on earth should agree to that. 3. If Hearn is correct that the WBA had given a number of extensions, then why did they unexpectedly give a 24 hour deadline that shocked everyone? Why did they give that deadline just three days before the delivery of the unsigned contract with Team Wilder's proposed changes as announced by Team Wilder? It is July 3rd and still nothing has been signed by Joshua and Povetkin. It is obvious Hearn stalled the fight so that the company he struck a deal with,DAZN, would have US broadcasting rights. That would not have been the case if the DW-AJ fight took place in October/November of this year.
Wilder would not sign only after the WBA imposed its deadline and only after Hearn committed to Povetkin. Wilder wanted the fight this year and on equitable rematch and officials' terms.
AJ can fight Wilder this year provided he relinquishes his WBA belt. IF AJ is victorious against Wilder, he can fight for the WBA belt in his next match.
1. Wilder has not used Joshua name to promote himself 40-0 with 39 KO's is impressive enough. 2. Why is Eddie Hearn about what's in another man's pocket? 3. Eddie Hearn can not help himself insulting people and with the disrespect. It helps not making deals. 4. He doesn't like to talk about money? (See #2) 5 Eddie Hearn says that he offered Wilder 12.5 million for the fight (30%) of the proceeds. He forgot to tell you Joshua will get $37.5. That a split of 25%-75%). Wilder asked for 40%-60%. The 60% to Joshua. Hearn said no. then said some A side B side gay shit. 5. That $50 million up front was not in a interview. Joshua left a voice message to Wilder requesting for a 50%-50% split and $50 Million up front. That is all over the internet. 6. No disrespect to Deontay Wilder? Bitch please! Every word he said about Wilder was disrespectful. Then he goes back to Number2) He sounds like he knows how much money in in Deontay Wilder's pockets. Hearn was making sport claiming that the money wasn't real & he needed to see proof of funds. 7. Shelly was trying to get Hearn & AJ on a verbal commitment before they can get a contract together. Hearn was supposed to meet with the Wilder camp. Just as soon Hearn touched down in New York City he called the Wilder camp to cancel. 8. Hearn asked for proof of funds soon as the $50 million was met. The Wilder camp has provided proof of funds. The Hearn changed his story that he wasn't asking for proof of funds. So now he forgot that he publicly said it. (it's in the internet too.) 9.Hearn & AJ had no intention to negotiate whatsoever because Joshua would figh Wilder in the USA. AJ was crying about that he should fight in the UK. 10. Improved offer of $15 million and the fight go to the UK. If there was going to be a rematch everything will be reversed. Has they say a reverse fixture for the rematch. Hearn said no. They wanted everything the same for the rematch 11. Just last week the WBA put out a false alarm that the Wilder & Joshua has 24 hours to negotiate the fight the day after Wilder agreed to sign their bogus contract to deliver it himself to Hearn with his team. You know the WBA or a governing body does not cut into negotiation talks. It was a clear scam. 11. Hearn claims nobody wants to fight AJ. No Hearn doesn't want to lose his golden goose.
Wilder has a problem fighting for 15 million but doesn't have a problem fighting for 1 million, thats what sounds more like bullshit to me, the only people who don't want the fight is Wilder himself and especially his fans who care so mucch about Wilders purse split when hes already guaranteed ten times the highest payday of his career regardless of it being 1/3 of the total split. Maybe if Wilder bothered to chase the belts in the first place then he would have the momentum, but since he aint fought anyone and never even made 4 million in a fight, the 15 million is more than generous you cant ask for more than that when your barely worth a fraction of it, stop pussying out and sign the contract .
Since he is coming to the UK? He felt he should get at least 40% of the cut. Eddie was too busy low balling Wilder. The Wilder camp is done with Yetti Hearn. But he is Hearn keeps talking about Wilder? Right after the deal fell apart Barry Hearn was begging Wilder to take the fight. Seee you can't dictate to to another champion on where he should fight or get paid. Eddie Hearn's net wroth is what $2 million +? But he's going to tell another man what's in his pockets and will have the balls to rip him. Let's face it. Yetti Hearn needs to talk about Deontay Wilder. If he doesn't? He can't promote himself.
Clear as day my ass. I want Anthony Joshua to say what Hern just said. The fact is- we haven't heard from Anthony on this subject- probably because he is a bad liar and Eddie is a professional one.
1. Shelly is apart of a 4-5 man team. Shelly/DiBella/Haymon/Wilder/and sometimes showtime. Shelly could have needed the 4 days to iron things out with the rest of the team. 2. Hearn put out in the media that Wilders team needed 4 weeks to respond. In this video, he admits it was only 4 days. 3. Hearn says that the $15M contract he sent did in fact have a fight date in April. But the April date only came after he announced the povetkin fight for September. Meaning the initial contract had no date. Why wouldn't he just admit that instead of acting like there was always a date on the contract.
Hearn is very clever here diminishing the achievements and ability of Ortize. That is a fight I would like to have seen Joshua take a couple of years ago. The reality is that the four best heavyweights are Tyson Wilder Ortize and Wyte. To be the best I feel he needs to go through all of them (Whyte rematch) but I feel Ortize should have had a shot a couple of years ago but he was too dangerous for Joshua.
TheLamech777 Ortiz has beat literally no one. Joshua has already knocked out Whyte into a coma, Wilder has only beat a 49 year old Ortiz who nearly knocked wilder out in the 7th round but the bell saved wilder. No one, absolutely no one comes close to AJ. Fury is a one fight wonder. He has looked absolutely shit in his past two fight against absolute garbage fighters and got chinned a good few times. Wilder will lay out Fury with ease but that won’t say much. AJ easily beats Wilder. Easily
Even if you're proven absolutely right in your predictions your comments show a lack of depth to your thinking. Its all just further regurgitation of the same old predigested rubbish that you decided to sickeningly swallow. The reality is Joshua nearly and should have lost to a 41 year old Klitchco who played with his quarry in the ring instead of finishing him off when a Tyson beat a younger version with ease. Whyte had Joshua going at one point and did so with a shoulder problem that he was carrying (although I do see Joshua still doing the business on him admittedly if they where to fight again). Whyte's rankings put him in contention and it's a fight lots of people would like to see. Fury is unbeaten and the lineal champion and ortize two or three years ago would have taken AJ apart. Not now as AJ has been well schooled guided and protected in his progression Wilder is also unbeaten and again I do see joshua as the more complete fighter now who will probably utilize a sound strategy to deliver a knock out or points win but it won't be a walk in the park - he could easily walk onto something big. Joshua looked lame against Takam which was stopped too early and stank, got help from the ref with Parker who gave him a few problems and was being soundly beat by Povetkin till the knock out which was always going to happen when a cruiser weight comes forward against a bigger opponent. BTW povetkin is a million times the Boxer skill wise
TheLamech777 i get your point but i think you are biased....how old was WK when Tyson beat him? 39....How old was Povetvkin? 39. The truth is WK was still better than Ortiz, pulling more crowd. WK was better coming off a loss and would have beat Fury in a rematch. Mind you AJ thought he had won the match after WK went down in the 6th rd and that was his mistake. There was a reason WK turned down the rematch.... Lets don't be biased AJ has lifted HW boxing again and yes he was thew chosen one because it came unexpectedly too soon with charles martin opportunity but he has backed it up. Deontay deserves to be in a big show now but he doesnt need to force it because he just ducked Whyte openly
Sorry RING MAGAZINE aka THE BIBLE OF BOXING says otherwise....So get the fuck out u are a WILDER fanboy....Try and be objective in your criticism we want to See the FIGHT for the Love of Boxing
Too ALL WILDER FANS. If any of what Eddie is saying is true, do you really want the fight enough push Wilder to shut up and fight? You are being used to justify making HIM more money. You're getting absolutely NOTHING in return!
It's well known Hearn is a wheeler dealer Del Boy character. Wilder and Joshua are both as big as each other, both champions so what is unfair in a 50/50 split. But, he offers 12.5 million and wilder offered 50 million. Wilders team produced the money but it still wasn't accepted. Utterly ridiculous. Both have as much to lose. So either Del Boy wanted more money or AJ didn't want the fight.
cdwilson12 are you insane??? Joshua fights in front of 90,000 and 80,000 sold out stadiums and makes $25 million a fight. Wilder can’t sell out 13k arenas, has never fought pay per view and makes $2-3m a fight. AJ has 3 belts and Wilder has 1. They are absolutely no where even near being close to being as “big as each other”.
50-50? Are you mad? Are you really mad? Are you really really mad? Check both of tgeir resumes.....how much they earn per fight.....how many belts each has......crowd capacity they pull.....pay per view fights.....etc. Joshua makes millions without even lacing gloves from 26 endorsements. AJ is more popular in America than even Wilder himself. Get yur facts right b4 yu chat nonsense.
If Wilder thinks he can win, he should take the 12.5 million. Then if he wins he'll be able to get the lion's share of the rematch or other big fight purses. Wilder is the one who is scared!
What and fight on US soil? ARE YOU FREAKING CRAZY? You nutjob NO WAY EVER! let's face it the yanks will FIX the entire night from the very beginning to the very end, entirely rigged from ink drying to post match interview. Simple as that
The Truth is Clear to me Wilder and his team never wanted to Fight AJ they just want to use his name to build Wilder, so if they have been waiting for Wilder to sign the Contract to offer he accepted till this very time and hour, WBA would have stripped off those Belts From AJ for not Fighting Potvekin... This is common sense why would u accept an offer demand a contract and refused to sign it till this very day?????? If anyone who is reasonable look at this facts you can see what Wilder is all about, the other time I saw a video where Dillian White was showing DAZN presenters the message Wilder sent him that he won't fight Dillian for another 2Years...Wow and you expecting this man to sign that Contract he has accepted ?????? Come on guys we are not fools...We should all reason and take sentiment aside
It's a shame that Wilder can't fight credibly. He only wants bums that is why he is going after fury at this time cos he knows fury is at bum level now.
Wilder fangirls disliking because they are mad they and their hero is getting exposed, totally exposed. Cant deal with the truth so they have to downvote.
50/50 split you are ss deluded as wilder 4 belts proper champion vs wasteman ducker with 1 belt who makes $2 million a fight vs 20 million aj can make fighting bums like wilder has all his life get a grip on reallity u joker
You keep dreaming about a 50/50 split boy, will never happen... Wilder is a nobody, even in the States... Even in terms of boxing skills he is quite a nobody...
Yes Hearn is full of games...if Joshua is making so much money right???....money shouldn't be an issue to their team. Hearn is a janky ass promoter who want to control his cash cow. Joshua said give him 50million and he would accept the fight. The truth will come out about this money hustling guy.
50/50 split u named yorself 50/50 split u got big issues u a proper wilder fanboy to name yourself as the split he wants to face joshua get a life blood grow up u sad man
No one is talking about AJ being upset with Eddie Hearns.Making him turn down 50 million dollar offer.At the end of the day Eddie only cares about how much he can make from his fighters and the Financial State of this company.Do you really think that Eddie Hearns care more about AJ then the financial state of his company?You can see how he has put Kell Brook on the shelf after losing to GGG and Errol Spence.Ask Kell how he really feels about Eddie Hearns!!!!!
Reggie Naturalook They wanted Hearn and AJ to accept the deal without seeing what the deal was!! It could have been a promise to pay $1 a year for 50 million years 😂😂 It’s absolutely ridiculous you yanks are so fucking dumb to understand this.
If Wilder had David Higgins on his team this fight would have been made months ago. Higgins might seem a little bizarre but at least he can effectively work with Hearn and deliver for fans.
Eddi Hearn is lying: -Why offering Wilder 12M. then 15M (for 2 fights, which he didn't mention) for 100M fight? -Why offering Wilder 30% while you offered Kiliticsko (and he was not a champion) 50% and offered Parker 33%? All those offers were meant to drive Wilder away,
At 11:10 he says “Don’t be surpised if they trick the public into a Pay per view “ against Ortiz or breazeale, hold on Eddie you made Joshua vs breazeale PPV lol
Wilder agreed to fight in the UK, he agreed to earn less money, he agreed to a rematch clause, he agreed to everything. Then AJ got scared and insisted that there is only a rematch if AJ loses. Nobody would agree to a one way rematch clause. Plain and simple AJ was scared and he ducked this fight, after Eddie talked a bunch of nonsense about how much he wanted to make the fight happen. That's just what happened. Wilder went out of his way to agree to a fight, but it was getting to the point where they were being ridiculous
I think it made sense to ask to accept the contract, they need to contract some TV station and this would certainly help. What is unclear was why they did not want to meet and discuss.
The only thing I understand about this whole situation is Anthony Joshua did say " if you give him $50 million upfront he accept the fight". I understand they were suppose to meet and discuss the whole issue which wilder team failed to do. I don't know the whole story about this, but if they were to come together discuss it when it was suppose to happen, this fight would have been happen. I do think the fight should be at least 60-40 due to the fact Anthony Joshua is the A side. One thing is for certain though neither fighters want this fight as bad as they say they do. Here's why. #1 Since Anthony is the A side he should be the one make calls and keep negotiate until the fight happen. #2 If wilder wanted the fight he would have came and met up like he was suppose to and the fight mostly would have happen. I'm on no one side because both of them are bitching at this point about money. When this should be a fight on who is the best undisputed in the world.
I think AJ want to fight in the UK because he feels just so much more comfortable there, to the point where fighting in the US would be a considerable disadvantage. And that is really ok!
"Cant commit Joshua to 50 mill without the details" it's just as lennox Lewis said, Joshua never wanted the fight, bc if he did, no promoter or anyone could stop him. When Lennox wanted Tyson, no one will get in his way. That's a true champion
Hearn has basically offered to buy the WBC belt for 3 to 4 times what Wilder has made in in a single fight throughout his career. Risk worth taking IMO. Wilder gets the pay day and potentially the glory. Sign the contract son.
If it was about money Wilder could have pushed for a bit more of the split, asked for a rematch clause with the same breakdown, and maybe came out of it with 25-30 million dollars; an amount that would set him up for life and be far more than he will ever make otherwise. The reality is he is stalling, hoping AJ loses at some point. This is because he knows that if they were to meet he would lose. AJ is a better boxer, is fitter, hits harder, is mentally tougher, and is not afraid of Wilder and does not have self doubt in the way does.
You only have to look at the way the WBC has strung Dillian Whyte along. He should have had a crack at Wilder ages ago. Fact is they don't want the WBC belt going outside of the Americas. They don't want Wilder fighting anything like a live opponent, that's why they've taken Fury who hasn't had a proper fight in over 3 years.
I am more inclined to believe the Hearn version of events, rather than the Wilder version, for two main reasons; AJ has a lot to lose taking the Povetkin fight over Wilder (financially and regarding his legacy, if he loses). The other reason, and more importantly is; Hearn has a history of sticking to the facts, whereas Wilder has a reputation of talking absolute bullshit.
Blair Fraser that’s what I was thinking. Fighting Povetkin isn’t worth the risk when you consider he might lose a massive payday and Hearn knows that I assure you
Right, lots of casuals and ignorants, as almost all bumsquad fans are, say that hearn doesn't want this fight, why would he not want it? he is a boxing fan too and it is making him rich lol, all these idiots are making no sense at all...
They are making him fight Povetkin idiot he's not choosing to! It's his mandatory and the WBA is making him take that as his next fight or they are stripping him. Didn't you watch the video. So you saying you believe the Hearn version because of that is fuckin dumb.
Beezy Talking Shit you think I didn’t listen to the video. I know Povetkin is a mandatory challenger but I was saying that he should have found a way to make Wilder happen so he didn’t have to fight Povetkin. He could have made more fighting Wilder and increased his brand. Instead he’s fighting a guy that isn’t a big draw and has potential to beat him do to his punching power.
gotta disagree povetkin was saved by the bell against price 30 seconds more and he would have been ko if it wasn't for prices legendary glass chin he would have won I don't see much risk for aj imo
Have too agree with some comments, Eddie at least makes himself available to be questioned time and time again, whilst Shelly Finkle hides away. Can’t really see how Shelly can argue against those facts. Team Wilder were well and truly smoked out!!
It's AJ vs Wilder.
Not
Hearn vs Finkel
Get interview with shelly l! You scold this man Eddie but he's the only one with the balls to give these interviews... Get shelly and ask all the points Eddie brings up! Funny how shelly dont want to do that!
Clinton Payne FACTS!!!
Yeah, because the one's doing all the talking are usually the one's telling the truth smh. get an independent thought of your own, man
Don't tell me you fellas didn't hear the interview where Hearn was hijacked by Wilder and Shelly who called him out.
Eddie dose these interviews because he wants us the fans to buy AJ next fight and he's knows if we think AJ ducked stock drops he's not stupid
Clinton Payne good point
Eddie, I believe you. Please prepare AJ well for Povetkin. He is not an easy one
omotola olagunju I hope it does as well, he doesn't deserve to be in the sport, it's as good as fraud.
omotola olagunju Agree. I hope Hearn is not distracting AJ w/Wilder. He needs total focus on Povetkin. He is way more dangerous than Wilder. That is why Wilder ducked him all the way to the court.
Char&Nick Westlake&Adamson Yes, Wilder has always been a fraud as well as Al Haymon.
omotola olagunju povetkin gives me chills he has that killer look. Man will be joshuas toughest opponent
Hearns explanation has remained consistent throughout. There is only one person ducking this fight and it ain't Joshua.
Stuart Brown When did his name have an S on the end, Browns?
Firebrand Oh very funny aren't you the comedian.
Stuart Brown Man Aj ducking Where he at He's been quiet as a mouse Hey Big Baby Miller said he's a punk Tyson Fury and Lennox knows he ducking Brendan Schab a UFC guy saying they didn't want the fight and a lot more people said it Go do ur research before talking
Dante Gaskins The only one ducking is Wilder, has ducked 4 seperate offers from different fights in 9 months. How gullible are you for believing his BS? Loool
Mezz Mezzrow having his baby! haha... 😂😂 that cracked me up! 👏🏻
PS. WBC are devaluing this prestigious belt by allowing Wilder to behave like this FACT
I see where you’re coming from but I think the world just needs too look at the resumes, Joshua has proved time and again he’ll fight anyone. He’s still a relative novice for the amount of fights he has had ( half the amount wilder has had, with better names )
Don’t think anyone can deny Joshua the fight in the uk, he’s earned it.
Hugh Janus more money wl b obtained in uk coz aj has lots of fans in uk while wilder has few fans in usa
Hugh Janus it’s pretty clear who is ducking who here. What I miss about the 80s-90/s people
Fighting because they wanted a war. Just because they loved to fight no one cared about a loss. Wilder needs to shut the fuck up and take the fight anywhere anytime. Sj needs a real test, the next fight for him is such a risk.
I don't know but everything hearn is saying makes sense to me. Plain and simple.
Ant 718 ... Until you realize that Joseph Parker allegedly got somewhere between 30%-35% of the pot to make the same trip.
Wilder and Parker aren't the same attraction, and that's obvious
“Allegedly” 🤔 best take that as gospel then 😂
scipio2009, which is why Wilder is getting more than twice the money Parker made, and Parkers belt too, its important that you realize that!, Parker was not getting the chance at Undisputed, that's a huge difference, Wilder is getting the chance at all that, plus more than twice the money without having to do any of the hard work gathering the belts together. the attraction is Undisputed, not Wilder!. and Wilder did none of the hard work.
Ant 718 Keep listening to him then Do ur research my man he's a liar my man He only cares about putting money in his pocket He's a promoter and don't care if the fans get the best fights available Wilder and Aj should be fighting next It would have been a great fight I believe Both men are real talented
scipio2009 parker had one belt so as windmill simple and parker better boxer than windmill so he should shut the fuck up and fight
Absolutely, actions speak louder than words... check boxing records. Check paper trail on this deal behind team Joshua v team Wilder, there is no paper trail behind team Wilder... sign the contract
Oh no. Waiting for all the angry Wilder fans after putting him in his place 😂😂
Quick, concise, articulate, chronological explanation here from Eddie, you won't find that from Wilders side, loud shouting and swearing for an hr that won't deal with any of these points efficiently. We all know who's ducked it, and continue to duck .
This is so straight forward even for the Kindergarten kids to comprehend, the only people who will find this to be too complex are those with learning difficulties. Some are even saying Eddie is the one stalling the fight, and if that is true, I think Wilder should just sign the contract which he already agreed to the terms. Wilder only accept the terms thinking A.J is already signed for Povetkin fight, that's what he normally do, but it back fire this time
fesocan obviously your not qualified to be in kindergarten
fesocan so 100%of the afro american ldbc's will not understand it^^
You're very correct, I'm more qualified to be in kindergarten... Thanks for acknowledging that
Larrypint the fact that you believe African Americans cannot disagree with the words and or Integrity of a white man sorry this is not the UK, they haven't tamed the American black as much as they tamed the UK black to believe I'm white and I say so. Before you do the typical remove context play the victim deflect, filibuster, then insult you brought race into this
guesswho8512 No-one is saying "believe me, I'm white". Did you hear Eddie Hearn say that? He is not asking anyone to "believe" him - least of all because of his skin colour. This has nothing to do with him being white. It has nothing to do with anyone's skin colour. Seriously, what a stupid comment.
Wilder was never serious about the fight. Always desperately seeking attention and validation, poor guy. He should sign with Eddie and sort his career out like a professional adult.
Indeed, if I were him I'd do just that. I'm still lauhing about Wilder saying 'Eddie Hearn is just a white man milking out a black man'... Hearing that, and then looking at the facts and numbers, lmao... This clown makes no sense at all, and his overblown ego would never allow to work togethere with a guy like Hearn, who could actually make a him a star, which his whole team of management has failed to do over the many years...
Firebrand lmaooo wilder was never serious about the fight? joshua is the one running its so obvious
Wilder made ZERO effort, he only went on social media to sucker chumps like you in. You have no idea what's going on, lol. Wilder has declined 4 offers in the past 9 months from different fighters, he's never had a unification and has no interest in being undisputed. AJ however has been hunting down titles and belts from the start, has achieved more than twice as much in half the time and has made offers to Wilder many, MANY times his best pay day... and still, Wilder ducks. No wonder he earns less than a 10th of what AJ does, because Wilder does sweet fuck all, he's nothing. Deal with it.
Firebrand aj is scared
Nah, it's Wilder who is running scared... he'll never face up to a unification and never be undisputed and he'll never get the pay day he wants, why? Because he's not willing to put the work in. Chump.
Too much sense. Wilder fans wont like it.
too much lies coming out of Eddie mouth
THATS HEARNS FUCKING PROBLEM HIM MAKING SENSE TAKES AWAY FROM A POSSIBLE FIGHT >>MONEY MONEY MONEY NUMBERS FUCK EDDIE HEARN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS SHIT MAKES ME HATE ENGLISH BOXING I HOPE POVETKIN DESTROY JOSHUA BRO SMH IF HEARNS WASNT WITH AJ ID FEEL DIFFERENT BUT BECAUSE OF HEARNS POWER I CANT STAND TO WATCH AJ ANYMORE!!!
SENSE FOH WHOS SENSE SMH THIS IS BOXING AMERICA BOXING NEVER WENT BY SENCE IT WENT BY DEMAND ENGLISH BOXING EVERYTHING MUST MAKE SENCE TO YALL????FOH
King Edward II has spoken and his followers will treat it like gospel.
I didn't even make it 1 minute in and he already spouted a bunch of bullshit.
"Wilder was just using Joshua's name for publicity!"
Which is why he made a 50 mil offer to you, right?
"Wilder is the least paid Heavyweight champion ever!"
Yeah, you know, not including Joseph Parker, Charles Martin, the current WBA regular champ Manuel Char and the tens and tens of unpopular, nobody champions of yesteryear that have been forgotten.
I JUST WANT AMERICA TO RUN HIS ASS OUT OF HERE WITH AJ TIED TO HIS FUCKING BACK SMH THIS DUDE PISSES ME OFF EVERYONE WANTS THIS FIGHT!!!!!! HE NEEDS STOP SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STAY IN ENGLAND WITH AJ
Anytime I listen to a Eddie Hearn interview (which there are many) compared to a Shirley Winkle interview (which there are very few) he always goes into more detail and makes more sense of it
Hearn doesn't even need to say all this stuff. Anybody with a brain who read all Finkel's bogus pr stunt articles from the last month or so already knows who's playing games here. And his name rhymes with winkle.
you sound like Eddie
BOOOOOMMBBB SQUUUUAAAADDDD
who cares just fight bitches
bomb squad stupid
Shirley Winkle that silly goose
Wilder the lowest payed heavy weight champion of all time because he fights bums #BumSquad
Chris the king He's worth more than ur boy Eddie Hearn tho 😂 Eddie needs to stop telling lies They didn't want to fight Wilder
Dante Gaskins like my man said...BUM. AND wilders net worth is 16 million they offering 20
shut up
Dante Gaskins You say this but if it's lies why doesn't Wilders team come out and defend them selves? It would easy to do just ask Eddie to prove he sent them what he says he did. They don't because they can't
Dante Gaskins Hearn takes roughly 10% of AJ's fight earnings. AJ fights for a minimum of £15-20m now. So Hearn gets £1.5-2m from that. So, he makes the same, if not more than Wilder without stepping in the ring..lol
That's you KingRed.
Hearn is a master class..
Omar Latif Master class duck!!
Weasel
Eddie done the right thing by leaving the contract on the table, and if i was Eddie i wouldnt get involved with all the he says you say stuff because all your doing is making his lame fights in america bigger, i dont understand why Eddie never mentions the fact Deonty was saved by the reff in the Ortiz fight Wilder was gone until the reff stepped in it wouldnt of happened the other way around.

MonkeyMentality even better copy and paste it to the Wilder fanboys
Mr issacs , Well if you bothered to read it properly, you would have seen that I didn't write. Its by a RUclipsr called Fat Apples, i just copy & paste it. So it would make more sense to have an argument with him . Im just passing on someone else's opinion, My personal opinion which is a lot less intelligent conversation
40 wins 40 tomato cans.
we are not idiots!, we can read records, I think wilder delusionaly believes that getting to 51-0 will get him the same money and respect maywether has??? it won't.
ruclips.net/video/ryriFa1bZKE/видео.html LOL
AJ has sent contracts to 4 world champions, only one champion was too afraid to accept, (the one he offered the most money and belts to ducked it) AJ fought 3 of the ones that were not afraid, fought 4 of the current top ten, unified twice, is fighting a top 3 in his next fight, fought an all time great, and is only 21fights into his career.
Wilder has never sent contracts to any other champion, has never unified, has only fought 1 guy in the top ten, has never fought anyone that is tall 6'5+ with a long reach 80''+ that can hit hard 85%+ and has avoided that sort of fight. imo. and he is 40 fights into his career, only one of these guys has a weak resume.
Eddie keeps exposing Deontay's management team scams - way underpaid son.
everything you said was true until you said he was under paid....oh boiii Eddie hearn is a promoter and earns way more than Anthony joshua...
With respect he was a promoter b4 AJ turned pro - your earnings depend on your stable - what is glaringly obvious is that he has done a far better job for his client than Deontay's 3managers.
i understand that he did a way better job for boxing as a whole,but just saying that Eddie is way more financially stable than anthony joshua and gets paid well for his job and thats why shelly doesnt earn as much
Action's speak louder than words. Mr Wilder.
Guess knocking out every opponent as Joshua's team runs and makes excuses isn't taking action...
Sorry but Mr. Wilder that sounds too respectful, I call him Mister Bumsquad...
jaroncreed ‘opponent’ use that term loosely, half his opponents are shelf stackers in Tesco.
jaroncreed I'm always confused about what you guys hear and see when you watch these exchanges, it can't be what is actually occurring.
his 41-0 what are you talking about his done enough action Mr never stepped in a ring before????
Team Wilder don't want the fight. I think Wilder might not know that
Removing things that can be argued just look at the things that can't:
The timeline - they had an offer for 4 weeks and were well aware that the WBA had called the mandatory
Wilder has an offer of 7x more than his biggest pay day but calls it Crackhead money and now says 50/50 or nothing
Form for ducking and avoiding is all on Wilders side, as Eddie says, the resume speaks for itself
All of the above is irrefutable, yet a lot of Wilders statements since are basically crazy over the top emotionally charged nonsense i.e...
15M = Crackhead money
Joshua's team are doing a bad job (he's worth 3x more than wilder in half the fights in a country not even a 3rd of the population)
and so on.....
Forget about the fact it's Eddie Hearn and he's a salesman, these are true facts, you can't honestly look at this and think Wilder and all of his managers aren't the ones stalling.
Its gets better, Hearn said hed pay Wilder 5 million to fight anyone of Wilder choice as long as he fought AJ for 15 million next.
The gap is bigger AJ has made 50 million already, Wilder has made just over 10.
Its actaully less then a third the UK has about 70 million people the US has over 340 million, thats 5 times more, so hes making 5 times less i a country with 5 times more people so hes earning money at a 25th the rate of AJ if you look at population pool to money earned.
“I have no problem with old people, my dad’s one” that’s awfully similar to a line from David Brent in The Office 😂
"How can I hate women?..My mum's one."
theanaesthetist1 yep haha
This needs to be reposted everyehere
Bofers Daz Who repost lies That would be dumb The truth should set u free Come on Eddie stop lieing son
Dante Gaskins why is Eddie lying.. show me your way of thinking with facts... convince me!! Because most of what Hearn is saying is facts that isn't disputed by both parties! And as of Wilders opponents & him ducking Klit even you with minimal research can see thats true without Hearn making it up! So what part as according to Dantes truth is he lying about..
Clinton Payne Come on my man I jus want to see the fight homie and Eddie is the biggest road block in the way Im not being bias towards anybody my man Go look up what Tyson Fury,Big Baby Miller, Lennox Lewis,Brandon Schaub and few more other people are saying about it Just do ur research and hit me back
Dante Gaskins I think you need a medical assessment and a brain scan sir
Nick Elsden I think u need one sir It's not my fault u can't accept the truth Dam man all u need is some common sense to figure out Eddie Hearn 😂 Guess u just don't have it
I have read and watched the information provided by both camps and will say, this makes more sense to me. Wilder's team dont appear to want the fight. Simple. Anyone who thinks otherwise is simply a fan of Wilder and is really not thinking rationally. I like both guys but just stating what is obvious
Do you still think like this now that wilder is fighting Tyson fury.
lol.
@Adam Novik
Wait and see my friend
Wilder has nothing to lose... Joshua on the other hand. Hearn is lying.
These guys about to make hundreds of millions of dollars and they offer him 15million? Gtfoh slave contract
The Yale . I like both fighters as well, but I must say, you are simply stating your opinion.
+Sporting News don't know how you managed to get this IFL lite interview 😁😁😁, but kudos and we'll done 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
How many top 10 ranked WBC fighters has Wilder actually fought? You can literally count on 1 finger.
sparky6899 how many top ten fighters has AJ actually fought ? You can literally count on 1 finger.
M.Z. Talks Boxing really?
Nothing else needs to be said!
Why? Don't you want to hear both sides?
RarelyVegan heard em both. Thats why i left my last statement.
The whole back and forth with him and Stephen Espinoza is hilarious LOL
Eddie speaks the truth‼️🤧
UK fan here. I believe somewhere along the line there was some confusion about Eddie asking for proof of funds and I believe I know what happened. Eddie definitely said he wanted to see proof of funds but that was only in INTERVIEWS and that is because the offer came from a fighter. If a fighter has not earned more than $3m per fight it is not unreasonable to ask for proof of funds. But this is where the confusion comes in. I believe Eddie then spoke to Wilder's representatives (not Wilder) and they confirmed verbally that the money was there or could be raised. Eddie must of thought that if they say the money is there then it must be and at that point he never insisted that they still provide proof. He then said "Ok, we are interested, can we see a contract" but Wilder's team refused to issue the contract until Hearn and AJ accepted. Now, many yanks say "he is lying". No he aint, y'all just hella thick. IF the money was being paid by Wilder himself then yes, Hearn wanted proof of funds and money put into escrow. But Wilder's team were raising the money and therefore Hearn felt that was good enough!!! Do you get it now? FML
Would you buy a second hand car from this man ?
Marcus Morrison hahaha!
Marcus Morrison 100% you'd get a great sports car! Any day
Used car salesmen still sell cars today.
He would sell you a hot pocket and ass juice 😂
Wilder's management can't run a 2nd hand car shop tho!!!!
He says it's not about the money, but doesn't want to give Wilder more than 15-30% max. He wouldn't give him 40% even if it meant cementing the fight with whatever stipulations he wants.
Wilder is worth atleast 40%. Hearn is lowballing him. You can't go based off previous numbers because those are different opponents. This is the fight everyone and their grandma wants to see. Mayweather got 28 Million for his fight against Berto. Then he got 370 Million for his fight against McGregor.
What?
That's not even what I'm talking about. Mayweather got 28 Million one fight, then he got 370 million the next because of how popular his opponent McGregor was. McGregor got around 30%. Hearn won't even give Wilder 30%. Hearn is lowballing him. He'd be making more fighting Tyson Fury instead.
You got that wrong, it's Wilder that brings in the money, not the WBC belt. This is projected to be a 100 million dollar fight with Wilder. Without him it's not half that. WBC belt or not. If he gave Parker 30% why won't he give 30% to Wilder? He offered Wilder at most 20 Mil. Give him his 30 million and stop low balling.
That's like saying Floyd Mayweather didn't bring any money to the McGregor fight because his fight before he only brought in 28 Million. Then his next fight he brought in 370 Million. He only got 2.1 Million because he was much lesser known then and no one cared too see him fight 40 year old Ortiz. If Wilder isn't bringing in any money then why is Hearn projecting it to be a 100 Million dollar fight? None of AJ's previous fights were 100 million dollar fights... Maybe not 50% but at least 30% which would be 30 million. It's not about him fighting the level of opponents AJ has that makes him deserving of 30%. He deserves it because he brings in the money.
Eddie, you are the MAN in this business!!!
Absulotly loved this.. wow... so much respect .. love the way you explained this in such a professional detailed way💚
11110000 6666666 hahahahahaa
More facts here: Wilder has only fought cruiserweights, light heavyweights, bums and an old man.
ojgom17 Go look at AJ resume on the internet of who he's fought. You clearly are wrong! You are just a DW fanboy who doesn't like hard facts! Or your just born stupid!
His next scheduled fight is with a kid who LOST to david price, shut the fuck up russ anthony is a bum
Uh Povetkin beat price
Cyronica Povetkin a kid who lost to Price?? Haha you clearly don't know anything about boxing!! Only AJ has fought all the top ten fighters! DW hasn't fought any apart from Ortiz but he had high blood pressure and nearly knocked DW out but was saved by the referee!! Can't argue with DW fan boys even when the hard facts are staring at you! Get a life!
So where is AJ right now to defend himself... Oh yeah he's hiding like a punk its pretty joke how everyones bummin AJ when tyson fury is the only good heavyweight boxer from the uk about right now making moves. AJ is a waste of time both DW and TF know this but keep spreading your shit so more AJ retards can read it
Blame everything in every interview on Wilder
why not its all LDBC do day in day out,look for the slightest snippets of negativity from so called experts and has beings, and put a whole complete different spin on it to discredit to suit there bias negative narratives,i hope also GGG fucks up canelo good style and shuts them cunts up
Earn with Hearn......
HOW TRUE LOL
He started off with his main problem. Money. He's right. The fight is not made because Hearn loves money. That's the answer
Is that why Bumsquad turned down 15mil$ (Which he never earned in all his fights combined togethere)? You casuals are so ignorant, Wilder is full of shit and can only talk, saying he doesn't care about the money bla bla, then turning down that offer he will never get again, but we get it, he prefers to fight bums and nobodies, exactly what he has done over all these years... Even in his own country he is hardly known, then don't go cry on social media, cuz of your own jealousy and frustration, but you just fucked it up for yourself son... #Bumsquad.
The truth is wilder fans can hate on Eddie and call him the devil and all that but the facts is that wilder team is not interested in the fight and have clearly used Joshua name to push ppv on wilder next fight as all the trolls who go around hating on anything that involve America and another country have all of sudden appeared. Eddie has not delayed In his responses unlike wilder team who seem to go silent until they see a opputunity to make some noise like when they thought the povekin and Joshua fight was signed then wilder team accepted Eddie terms till they realised it was not then they went quiet again and wilder fans latch onto anything and try and twist it like when Hearn said he sent the contract and wilder channels and fans was saying he never sent the contract till Shelley talked about receiving it lol look likensheep behaviour to me. To me this just look like a trump tactic of using the dumb American to further yourself trump as wilder fans can associate with wilder as neither wilder or his fans are that bright.
Ben Clark , u couldn’t have said it better
BINGO! 👏🏾👏🏼
Ben Clark news flash!!! nobdy likes Eddie he is a know proven liar who knows how to dress up his lies..
@ Ben Clark - all wilder fans are from some outback shit hole caravan park in Alabama who can't talk correctly & only yell "bomb squad" on queue as if its delivering them some form of higher salvation. The worst of American social culture on display in Wilder and his fans. Respect to you Mr Clark.
All makes sense what you say pal. I had to take massive breaths to read your sentences, in my head 😉
End of the day AJ holding Tyson fury belt's
VERY WELL SAID SIR
yep
There’s multiple reasons... Anthony is scared, Anthony is scared... and Anthony is scared
Twitch Fortnite Highlights AJ scared of a clown who nearly got knocked down by a old Ortiz. AJ is 100x better than Ortiz Wilder can’t handle someone like that. Just get it thick in your dumb ass skull
Paulinho04 YT you’re obviously not smart what so ever and don’t understand boxing and that’s why you’re behind a screen talking big just like aj is lmao stfu
Sounds like you're pretty ignorant and stupid.
Ortiz is better than the Klitschko that almost KO'd Joshua.
PhillyPhan why has ortiz never been champion if he's that good
Why is Eddie talking for AJ?
Why is AJ not talking ???
Took him this long to figure another lie,
Gotta admire his transparency
Imagine hearn was black. The wilder fans would be silent!
Hearn speaks straight facts 👊‼️
Once upon a time the USA had Iron Mike who wasn't afraid, now they just have a bunch of cowards that run scared.
Wilder's ploy all along was to get 50/50. He's very crafty. I think he's needed in this HW division, but it was Wilder and his team that caused this fight to go down the drain. Hearn may be sneaky but he delivers and has his shit together.
There are several points that need to be addressed
1. Wilder wanted his fight with AJ to be his next fight and he wanted it no later than October or November of this year.
2. Wilder may have agreed to one-sided rematch clause but certainly not to the officials' clause in which only Team Joshua has input on the choice of officials. No one on earth should agree to that.
3. If Hearn is correct that the WBA had given a number of extensions, then why did they unexpectedly give a 24 hour deadline that shocked everyone? Why did they give that deadline just three days before the delivery of the unsigned contract with Team Wilder's proposed changes as announced by Team Wilder?
It is July 3rd and still nothing has been signed by Joshua and Povetkin. It is obvious Hearn stalled the fight so that the company he struck a deal with,DAZN, would have US broadcasting rights. That would not have been the case if the DW-AJ fight took place in October/November of this year.
Harsha, that was all on offer but he didn't sign, stop please with the excuses for Wilder
If truly Eddie is stalling the fight as you suggested, let's Wilder sign the contract then to overturn WBA decision
Wilder would not sign only after the WBA imposed its deadline and only after Hearn committed to Povetkin. Wilder wanted the fight this year and on equitable rematch and officials' terms.
AJ can fight Wilder this year provided he relinquishes his WBA belt.
IF AJ is victorious against Wilder, he can fight for the WBA belt in his next match.
DW could not sign until those changes were made!
I applaud this insight, so refreshing. Hearn couldn't be much more explicit.
Stats and championship belts means AJ has passed DW's level over a year ago, the bronze bomber has been brown bombing!
Is not about money Eddie, is about boxing. The love of the sport.
Good interview 👍🏾
110% agreed with Eddie.
Good story Eddie. But you left a lot of details out.
Dale Mcilwain, could u please name the details he left out
1. Wilder has not used Joshua name to promote himself 40-0 with 39 KO's is impressive enough.
2. Why is Eddie Hearn about what's in another man's pocket?
3. Eddie Hearn can not help himself insulting people and with the disrespect. It helps not making deals.
4. He doesn't like to talk about money? (See #2)
5 Eddie Hearn says that he offered Wilder 12.5 million for the fight (30%) of the proceeds. He forgot to tell you Joshua will get $37.5. That a split of 25%-75%). Wilder asked for 40%-60%. The 60% to Joshua. Hearn said no. then said some A side B side gay shit.
5. That $50 million up front was not in a interview. Joshua left a voice message to Wilder requesting for a 50%-50% split and $50 Million up front. That is all over the internet.
6. No disrespect to Deontay Wilder? Bitch please! Every word he said about Wilder was disrespectful. Then he goes back to Number2) He sounds like he knows how much money in in Deontay Wilder's pockets. Hearn was making sport claiming that the money wasn't real & he needed to see proof of funds.
7. Shelly was trying to get Hearn & AJ on a verbal commitment before they can get a contract together. Hearn was supposed to meet with the Wilder camp. Just as soon Hearn touched down in New York City he called the Wilder camp to cancel.
8. Hearn asked for proof of funds soon as the $50 million was met. The Wilder camp has provided proof of funds. The Hearn changed his story that he wasn't asking for proof of funds. So now he forgot that he publicly said it. (it's in the internet too.)
9.Hearn & AJ had no intention to negotiate whatsoever because Joshua would figh Wilder in the USA. AJ was crying about that he should fight in the UK.
10. Improved offer of $15 million and the fight go to the UK. If there was going to be a rematch everything will be reversed. Has they say a reverse fixture for the rematch. Hearn said no. They wanted everything the same for the rematch
11. Just last week the WBA put out a false alarm that the Wilder & Joshua has 24 hours to negotiate the fight the day after Wilder agreed to sign their bogus contract to deliver it himself to Hearn with his team. You know the WBA or a governing body does not cut into negotiation talks. It was a clear scam.
11. Hearn claims nobody wants to fight AJ. No Hearn doesn't want to lose his golden goose.
Wilder has a problem fighting for 15 million but doesn't have a problem fighting for 1 million, thats what sounds more like bullshit to me, the only people who don't want the fight is Wilder himself and especially his fans who care so mucch about Wilders purse split when hes already guaranteed ten times the highest payday of his career regardless of it being 1/3 of the total split. Maybe if Wilder bothered to chase the belts in the first place then he would have the momentum, but since he aint fought anyone and never even made 4 million in a fight, the 15 million is more than generous you cant ask for more than that when your barely worth a fraction of it, stop pussying out and sign the contract .
Since he is coming to the UK? He felt he should get at least 40% of the cut. Eddie was too busy low balling Wilder. The Wilder camp is done with Yetti Hearn. But he is Hearn keeps talking about Wilder? Right after the deal fell apart Barry Hearn was begging Wilder to take the fight. Seee you can't dictate to to another champion on where he should fight or get paid. Eddie Hearn's net wroth is what $2 million +? But he's going to tell another man what's in his pockets and will have the balls to rip him. Let's face it. Yetti Hearn needs to talk about Deontay Wilder. If he doesn't? He can't promote himself.
Prove it!
Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua - - > Wembley Stadium on April 13 ( my suggestion - an idea or plan put forward for consideration.)
Arlindo Almada after the wilder vs fury fight
Clear as day my ass. I want Anthony Joshua to say what Hern just said. The fact is- we haven't heard from Anthony on this subject- probably because he is a bad liar and Eddie is a professional one.
Joshua doesn't bother to run his mouth, he'll do his talking in the ring when the time comes.
1. Shelly is apart of a 4-5 man team. Shelly/DiBella/Haymon/Wilder/and sometimes showtime. Shelly could have needed the 4 days to iron things out with the rest of the team.
2. Hearn put out in the media that Wilders team needed 4 weeks to respond. In this video, he admits it was only 4 days.
3. Hearn says that the $15M contract he sent did in fact have a fight date in April. But the April date only came after he announced the povetkin fight for September. Meaning the initial contract had no date. Why wouldn't he just admit that instead of acting like there was always a date on the contract.
Hearn is very clever here diminishing the achievements and ability of Ortize. That is a fight I would like to have seen Joshua take a couple of years ago. The reality is that the four best heavyweights are Tyson Wilder Ortize and Wyte. To be the best I feel he needs to go through all of them (Whyte rematch) but I feel Ortize should have had a shot a couple of years ago but he was too dangerous for Joshua.
TheLamech777 Ortiz has beat literally no one. Joshua has already knocked out Whyte into a coma, Wilder has only beat a 49 year old Ortiz who nearly knocked wilder out in the 7th round but the bell saved wilder. No one, absolutely no one comes close to AJ. Fury is a one fight wonder. He has looked absolutely shit in his past two fight against absolute garbage fighters and got chinned a good few times. Wilder will lay out Fury with ease but that won’t say much. AJ easily beats Wilder. Easily
Even if you're proven absolutely right in your predictions your comments show a lack of depth to your thinking. Its all just further regurgitation of the same old predigested rubbish that you decided to sickeningly swallow. The reality is Joshua nearly and should have lost to a 41 year old Klitchco who played with his quarry in the ring instead of finishing him off when a Tyson beat a younger version with ease. Whyte had Joshua going at one point and did so with a shoulder problem that he was carrying (although I do see Joshua still doing the business on him admittedly if they where to fight again). Whyte's rankings put him in contention and it's a fight lots of people would like to see. Fury is unbeaten and the lineal champion and ortize two or three years ago would have taken AJ apart. Not now as AJ has been well schooled guided and protected in his progression Wilder is also unbeaten and again I do see joshua as the more complete fighter now who will probably utilize a sound strategy to deliver a knock out or points win but it won't be a walk in the park - he could easily walk onto something big. Joshua looked lame against Takam which was stopped too early and stank, got help from the ref with Parker who gave him a few problems and was being soundly beat by Povetkin till the knock out which was always going to happen when a cruiser weight comes forward against a bigger opponent. BTW povetkin is a million times the Boxer skill wise
@@TheLamech777 Fucking hell you talk some shit.
TheLamech777 i get your point but i think you are biased....how old was WK when Tyson beat him? 39....How old was Povetvkin? 39. The truth is WK was still better than Ortiz, pulling more crowd. WK was better coming off a loss and would have beat Fury in a rematch. Mind you AJ thought he had won the match after WK went down in the 6th rd and that was his mistake. There was a reason WK turned down the rematch.... Lets don't be biased AJ has lifted HW boxing again and yes he was thew chosen one because it came unexpectedly too soon with charles martin opportunity but he has backed it up. Deontay deserves to be in a big show now but he doesnt need to force it because he just ducked Whyte openly
Sorry RING MAGAZINE aka THE BIBLE OF BOXING says otherwise....So get the fuck out u are a WILDER fanboy....Try and be objective in your criticism we want to See the FIGHT for the Love of Boxing
Too ALL WILDER FANS. If any of what Eddie is saying is true, do you really want the fight enough push Wilder to shut up and fight? You are being used to justify making HIM more money. You're getting absolutely NOTHING in return!
It's well known Hearn is a wheeler dealer Del Boy character. Wilder and Joshua are both as big as each other, both champions so what is unfair in a 50/50 split. But, he offers 12.5 million and wilder offered 50 million. Wilders team produced the money but it still wasn't accepted. Utterly ridiculous. Both have as much to lose. So either Del Boy wanted more money or AJ didn't want the fight.
cdwilson12 are you insane??? Joshua fights in front of 90,000 and 80,000 sold out stadiums and makes $25 million a fight. Wilder can’t sell out 13k arenas, has never fought pay per view and makes $2-3m a fight. AJ has 3 belts and Wilder has 1. They are absolutely no where even near being close to being as “big as each other”.
50-50? Are you mad? Are you really mad? Are you really really mad? Check both of tgeir resumes.....how much they earn per fight.....how many belts each has......crowd capacity they pull.....pay per view fights.....etc. Joshua makes millions without even lacing gloves from 26 endorsements. AJ is more popular in America than even Wilder himself. Get yur facts right b4 yu chat nonsense.
3 belts vs 1 belt
And u think it's fair to do 50/50?
If Wilder thinks he can win, he should take the 12.5 million. Then if he wins he'll be able to get the lion's
share of the rematch or other big fight purses. Wilder is the one who is scared!
What and fight on US soil? ARE YOU FREAKING CRAZY? You nutjob NO WAY EVER! let's face it the yanks will FIX the entire night from the very beginning to the very end, entirely rigged from ink drying to post match interview. Simple as that
This is the fight I've been waiting so long for you have got to complete it. This fight is my dream fight
Waiting till the man's out of his prime that simple. Hearn shame on you
Haha, let ol' chicken legs whinge on for another five years!
The Truth is Clear to me Wilder and his team never wanted to Fight AJ they just want to use his name to build Wilder, so if they have been waiting for Wilder to sign the Contract to offer he accepted till this very time and hour, WBA would have stripped off those Belts From AJ for not Fighting Potvekin... This is common sense why would u accept an offer demand a contract and refused to sign it till this very day?????? If anyone who is reasonable look at this facts you can see what Wilder is all about, the other time I saw a video where Dillian White was showing DAZN presenters the message Wilder sent him that he won't fight Dillian for another 2Years...Wow and you expecting this man to sign that Contract he has accepted ?????? Come on guys we are not fools...We should all reason and take sentiment aside
Eddie your sooooo full of it!!!!!!!!!
AJ Track Record 10/10, Wilder Track Record 2/10
It's a shame that Wilder can't fight credibly. He only wants bums that is why he is going after fury at this time cos he knows fury is at bum level now.
Wilder fangirls disliking because they are mad they and their hero is getting exposed, totally exposed. Cant deal with the truth so they have to downvote.
Fell Apart for Eddie Germs LYING 24/7
Nah, don't think so.
Transparency is the best policy! Well done Eddie!
lies...
50/50 split you are ss deluded as wilder 4 belts proper champion vs wasteman ducker with 1 belt who makes $2 million a fight vs 20 million aj can make fighting bums like wilder has all his life get a grip on reallity u joker
You keep dreaming about a 50/50 split boy, will never happen... Wilder is a nobody, even in the States... Even in terms of boxing skills he is quite a nobody...
Yes Hearn is full of games...if Joshua is making so much money right???....money shouldn't be an issue to their team. Hearn is a janky ass promoter who want to control his cash cow. Joshua said give him 50million and he would accept the fight. The truth will come out about this money hustling guy.
50/50 split u named yorself 50/50 split u got big issues u a proper wilder fanboy to name yourself as the split he wants to face joshua get a life blood grow up u sad man
50/50 split fake news
Loving Geoff Cameron in background making this all the more believable
No one is talking about AJ being upset with Eddie Hearns.Making him turn down 50 million dollar offer.At the end of the day Eddie only cares about how much he can make from his fighters and the Financial State of this company.Do you really think that Eddie Hearns care more about AJ then the financial state of his company?You can see how he has put Kell Brook on the shelf after losing to GGG and Errol Spence.Ask Kell how he really feels about Eddie Hearns!!!!!
Reggie Naturalook They wanted Hearn and AJ to accept the deal without seeing what the deal was!! It could have been a promise to pay $1 a year for 50 million years 😂😂 It’s absolutely ridiculous you yanks are so fucking dumb to understand this.
Speak American, please.
Mister Yowl There is no such language in existence. Americans speak English, which is from England, UK. You’re welcome 😁👌🏻
AJ is not upset, as he knows there was NO $50m contract. Just talk that's all.
If Wilder had David Higgins on his team this fight would have been made months ago. Higgins might seem a little bizarre but at least he can effectively work with Hearn and deliver for fans.
Eddi Hearn is lying:
-Why offering Wilder 12M. then 15M (for 2 fights, which he didn't mention) for 100M fight?
-Why offering Wilder 30% while you offered Kiliticsko (and he was not a champion) 50% and offered Parker 33%?
All those offers were meant to drive Wilder away,
0:00-1:40 Hearn basically just said that Wilder's management are bunch of rubes who do not know what they are doing.
At 11:10 he says “Don’t be surpised if they trick the public into a Pay per view “ against Ortiz or breazeale, hold on Eddie you made Joshua vs breazeale PPV lol
Regardless of the dissapointed people that this fight didn't happen there is no way that these 2 fighters are scared of each other
Wilder agreed to fight in the UK, he agreed to earn less money, he agreed to a rematch clause, he agreed to everything. Then AJ got scared and insisted that there is only a rematch if AJ loses. Nobody would agree to a one way rematch clause. Plain and simple AJ was scared and he ducked this fight, after Eddie talked a bunch of nonsense about how much he wanted to make the fight happen. That's just what happened. Wilder went out of his way to agree to a fight, but it was getting to the point where they were being ridiculous
Because Wilder has three managers that's why it takes so much time to get around the table
Shirley Winkle was around before the Pyramids of Giza
I don't like Eddie Hearn but this interview seems very frank and honest and seems legit way how things went down.
I believe Eddie, but it's clear to everyone AJ is scared to fight out of the UK. The lack of audience support would break him
I think it made sense to ask to accept the contract, they need to contract some TV station and this would certainly help. What is unclear was why they did not want to meet and discuss.
The only thing I understand about this whole situation is Anthony Joshua did say " if you give him $50 million upfront he accept the fight". I understand they were suppose to meet and discuss the whole issue which wilder team failed to do. I don't know the whole story about this, but if they were to come together discuss it when it was suppose to happen, this fight would have been happen. I do think the fight should be at least 60-40 due to the fact Anthony Joshua is the A side. One thing is for certain though neither fighters want this fight as bad as they say they do. Here's why. #1 Since Anthony is the A side he should be the one make calls and keep negotiate until the fight happen. #2 If wilder wanted the fight he would have came and met up like he was suppose to and the fight mostly would have happen. I'm on no one side because both of them are bitching at this point about money. When this should be a fight on who is the best undisputed in the world.
I think AJ want to fight in the UK because he feels just so much more comfortable there, to the point where fighting in the US would be a considerable disadvantage. And that is really ok!
"Cant commit Joshua to 50 mill without the details" it's just as lennox Lewis said, Joshua never wanted the fight, bc if he did, no promoter or anyone could stop him. When Lennox wanted Tyson, no one will get in his way. That's a true champion
The fact Finkel refused the meeting suggests he didn't want to make the fight.
How can you call this man a liar
......he's laid the facts out ....plain and simple
Eddie Hearn vs Shelly winkel should be a PPV fight looool
Hearn has basically offered to buy the WBC belt for 3 to 4 times what Wilder has made in in a single fight throughout his career. Risk worth taking IMO. Wilder gets the pay day and potentially the glory. Sign the contract son.
The thing that gets me is AJ don't seem comfortable answering questions when it comes to wilder
If wilders team is so difficult to communicate to, how is it that fury vs wilder was tied up in a matter of days?
How does one say we won’t commit until we see the contract, but doesn’t have a contract ready when the opposition commits?🤔
If it was about money Wilder could have pushed for a bit more of the split, asked for a rematch clause with the same breakdown, and maybe came out of it with 25-30 million dollars; an amount that would set him up for life and be far more than he will ever make otherwise.
The reality is he is stalling, hoping AJ loses at some point.
This is because he knows that if they were to meet he would lose.
AJ is a better boxer, is fitter, hits harder, is mentally tougher, and is not afraid of Wilder and does not have self doubt in the way does.
he brushed past that 50/50 thing quite fast I noticed. if they really want it, they should agree to that latest bluff by wilder's team
ngl this was very consistent throughout the video.
You only have to look at the way the WBC has strung Dillian Whyte along. He should have had a crack at Wilder ages ago. Fact is they don't want the WBC belt going outside of the Americas. They don't want Wilder fighting anything like a live opponent, that's why they've taken Fury who hasn't had a proper fight in over 3 years.
