Comments Thread For: Joshua, Hearn Stand Firm: Wilder Fight Must Be in The UK

[oscar9992]

AJ is a massive A side & decides where fight should happen...

[mvooom]

Then put up the money, you can't be asking for a 50m payday plus PPV upside and still make demands of location.

This is like an employee paying his boss a monthly salary from his pocket, who is going to give the orders?

I said a while back that these guys don't want it and some AJ fans came at me showing teeth. Smh! "Hearn says". Pathetic!

[sotgoda]

****** and pathetic AJ fans as usual. The 1st fight should be held where the pay is greatest - after all these guys are prized fighters. Further, if the fight was held in the US, Wilder stood to make what AJ made especially if the fight crosses over $100 million as expected. By having it now in the UK, Wilder stands to make a lot less which is why he would be hesitant to have it in the UK - as A juicing J and E lying Hearn really low-balled Wilder.

This is the reason why. If AJ offers Wilder 50/50 and a guarantee of say $25-30 million for the fight in the UK, I bet Wilder accepts immediately even though it will be less than what he could have made in the US. Use your common senses for once. AJ's cowardice and fear of Wilder are the reasons - not no ****** fans, why he wants to have it in the UK. By AJ doing that, he costs not only himself money, but Wilder too. Why should Wilder be happy about that?

Frank Warren confirmed that the offer was $50 million guaranteed (with 50/50) in 1st fight for AJ and $30 million guaranteed in the 2nd fight - making a total of $80 million guaranteed over 2 fights. Yet the cowardly AJ rejects the offer. Would you guys have been ok if Wilder did the same?

Wilder's offer to AJ is over 6 times what AJ offered Wilder in total, all guaranteed too, not some ****** flat rate and with a potential to make more. So, tell your fearful, steroid-juicing boy to offer Wilder a 50/50 split with guarantee for UK and I bet Wilder signs it. It is that simple. Greed from Eddie and AJ led to all of this - especially after the latter said he will sign tomorrow.

I think its less to do with the fans & more to do with conyrolling the event, refs & judges

Johnson knows he wont get away with calling his own time out on amercian soil. He knows he wouldn't get away with removing his glove tape mid fight anywhere but the uk

Johnson's not half as confident as he makes out..

[JimRaynor]

Actually, they fought in Germany.

You know what you're right, point is W. Klitschko wasn't terrified of fighting in Hayes backyard, and completely open to it.

Stopped reading when you made unsubstantiated claims.

I don't see why this is such a big deal for Wilder.

After all, save one belt, he brings nothing to the table. Sure, he may be the real deal and a future HW force, but his resume, as it is, is trash and his last performance was hardly inspiring.

Perhaps he's afraid of being overawed?

Stop it! He brings 50m to the table.

Yes, I concede on that.

The Haye-Klitscko thing was a mess and its easy to get confused. There was so much back and forth, involving both brothers.

Vitali and Haye were due to fight in the UK, but that fell through.

[SUBZER0ED]

A side didn't mind the fight in the states against Jarell Miller, and that was without anywhere near a 50 million guarantee. He gets the 50 million guarantee and now all of a sudden he pisses his pants. You AJ fan boys are something else, call for your guy to man up and take the fight, and stop making excuses on his behalf.

Hey, I don't need to make excuse for the man. He said he wants the fight with Wilder to be in England. That's not an excuse, that's a FACT.

Alabama fraud can take the deal or fade into obscurity.
