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

[sicko]

OK well Eddie need to fund it himself if that is the case! You can't tell the people who are coming up with the $50 Million to "Hey Come Spend Your Money In The UK"

So DEAL if you want it in the UK then no problem, Barry and Eddie pull out the Check Book and give both fighters whatever they want! You're the one with the $1 Billion deal with the DAZN so money shouldn't be a issue to make this fight in the UK Right?

He is literally bringing $50 million to the table

I have no idea whats wrong with these posters its like either they are overlooking all these things along with hearns antics just to protect the fighter they like, or they are really just delusional. the fact hearn wanted to fight miller in the states and now all of a sudden it must be in the uk with wilder after 50mill is all I needed ot hear. they don't want the fight. its clear. we all have our fav fighters but at some point you as a fan should call bullsht when you see it. that's a trait these guys don't have. they have defended every position hearn came with.

The backpeddaling on the UK side has been shameful.

Just admit you phucked up with pretending Wilder's 50 million offer was a PR stunt.

Pretend you never asked for 50 million or acted like it was a PR stunt, pretend you never sent a shytty offer to Wilder's team, and start over with sending Wilder's team a fair deal if you want it in the UK.

Is that so hard?

I don't know how it works in the UK, but money talks in the US. Hearn and AJ expounding on his built up home town image, and LESS money are digging a B side hole. Is it always about the money? Yeah, it's always about the money. He's walking away from 50 mil, he's scared.

[SUBZER0ED]

That would be the best possible outcome

Going off this interview it sounds like they will be paying wilder more money to come to the uk

Hopefully it gets straightened out soon which I think it will

This is really all it should take, given that Wilder balked at $12.5 million. Throw more money at him and he's off to merry old England.

Quack, quack, quack, quack!!

theres literally no way chickenson fanboys can spin this! hearn does not want this fight....terrified of bombsquad

they are spinning it look at their comments lol

But can you really buy leverage in negotiations? Obviously Wilder really doesn't want to fight in the UK if he is trying to pay his way into a position to call the shots. He is kind of showing a little bit of a weakness and I can understand how team Joshua would want to exploit that. And personally, I've never heard of the B side fighter paying the A side fighter to relinquish their A side privileges before.

wilder said that if he got a percentage hed fight in the uk, hearn said "WILDER IS NOT WORTH A PERCENTAGE" even though parker was?????????? so aj asked for 50mil and got the offer... wouldn't you want control of the venue if you offered the most money? whats so hard to understand? there was no counter offer after hearn got his questions answered! if hearn wants the control of the venue all he had to do was offer a percentage! what is the issue with you guys? is this not clear or are we crazy????

[Smash]

they are still negotiating, the final offers are not there lol, its like spoon feeding babies

Joshua just got called Anthony Johnson at an NBA game here. Literally nobody knows him in the US. Meanwhile, the fight would sell out a stadium in the UK. Seems like you go where the money is no? Wilder was willing to go to Russia to fight Sasha. He seems less scared to travel than Joshua does. He knows its win by KO or lose on the cards so unless a UK ref goes full UK ref on him he should be ok.
