Comments Thread For: Hearn To Wilder: Fight Joshua, Take Control of Your Own Career!

[Early24]

His bottle has dropped out. When you think of the nonsense that has come out of his mouth, the inevitable beating from AJ will be too much to bear. This fight won't happen.

is this the same clown talking that offered wilder 12.5 and then had his network bosses offer more than 3x months later?

They only made that up after the fact, months later, to fool gullible fanboys like you. They admitted they turned down the fight because Joshua wanted to fight in the UK. When the truth didn't go over well with the public, they made up a lie later, which amazingly, worked quite well.





Revealing some negotiations over parts of the US deal did take place, Finkel exclusively told World Boxing News: “Eddie wanted assurances from us that the fight would be on Sky Sports in the UK and we said; ‘As we are putting up $50m, as long as Sky matches any other bid they got it’.

“We just didn’t want Sky to post a low number on Pay-Per-View and we could have gotten more to recoup the $50m which would have been on Showtime PPV in the US. If he took the $50m that would have been our choice. We also acknowledged that if they are paying us $15m (instead for a UK fight), he could just go on Sky – there’s not really a question about that.”


The offer wasn't being funded by BT. That's a complete lie and a really ****** lie at that. The fight would have generated way more revenue on US PPV than UK PPV and obviously it would be the US broadcaster funding the fight. To suggest it would be the secondary broadcaster financing the fight is just absolutely ludicrous and shows how little you know about the boxing business. The primary broadcaster puts up the guarantees for a big PPV and that's Showtime. The UK rights would have gone to Sky as long as they matched BT's bid. BT's only involvement was to help establish the value of the UK rights.

The offer was funded by BT.

I'm not going to waste my time reading any of the crap you post about it, so why not stop wasting your own time and move on.

Take a deep breath and think about how ****** your statement is. How could you possibly know whether Eddie ever said that or not? Are you privy to every phone call he makes? Are you privy to every email he sends?

I know what he's said to Showtime because I talk to people at Showtime. You have absolutely no way of knowing what he's said to Showtime, so you're making authoritative declarations with absolutely no basis.

Some people have a strange compulsion to tell outrageous lies, which they know are not going to be believed by anybody. I think you are one of therm.

You're posting absolute nonsense and then burying your head in the sand so you don't accidentally encounter evidence that obliterates your position.

Couldn't care less if you believe me. I post what I know. Whether I'm believed is irrelevant. I'm paid to post and offer insight. I'm not paid to be believed.
