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

[Holler]

Exact quote from. Wilder -
DW: "ESPN and DAZN they had wanted a long-term [contract] on me. I like to dictate my own career and I like to see where it's going for myself. When you're giving these guys so many years, you're giving them too much control. I don't like people to have too much control over me and my career because I know what it is and I know where it's going. DAZN just left out information from us, they tried to hide certain information from us and from that point you can't go further with no deal when people are trying to hide things. I'm not going to get into what it was but we all know boxing is a snake in the grass business, and that's why you've got to keep the grass cut because they're always slithering around. DAZN was one of those snakes slithering around. They wanted to put out there a big number, and it was a big number and being human you see that and you automatically think Oh My God, but you need to know what's going on behind the details of that number. I'm not no fool, my mother ain't raise that."

Espn sent an offer which included future options. There were no options on the Dazn offer. The missing information he refers to was how much Joshua was getting.

You and I share the same observation .......

Khan had almost ten nonsense articles written by "boxing clever" preceding the fight with Crawford, and one today. Khan is washed up and a quitter ...... Why all the press????

Hearn spews constant BS, yet he gets non-stop press for every redundant statement and ridiculous claim. Hearn cares only about his production and DAZN and he's a verified lier and nothing he states hold true .... so Again ..... Why all the press????

Writing articles just for the sake of increasing the numeric tally makes no sense, this isn't the NYT or the Post. Boxing fans need clear, accurate information, not imaginary, delusional musings that do nothing more, than add to the confusion.

Focus on the point Wildellet, your champ has lost his balls, AJ is right there in his backyard calling the bum out, Wilder is hiding in Finkles skirt! Why don’t you Wilder fan girls flush the chicken out?

[Scipio2009]

FFS, stop making it out to be more than it was. He would have been signing to have 3 of his fights screened exclusively by DAZN, and that's it. One of those fights was a mando, the other 2 were with AJ.

**** DAZN; Anthony Joshua isn't even signed to DAZN and his own promoter is allegedly getting a billion dollars from them. Why should Wilder be locked into anything?

Wilder fights Breazeale for however much money in a few weeks, assuming Wilder wins, and then the talks will start moving for Wilder's second fight of the year.

Since money doesn't matter to Anthony Joshua (that was the excuse for turning down the $50m anyway), logic will tell you that a 50/50 for Joshua to fight Wilder (Sky Sports carries the PPV in the UK, Showtime carries the PPV in the US, TSN gets Canada, Televisa gets Mexico, SuperSport gets SS Africa, and both camps jointly figure out the rest) in the US would be the obvious move to try, with the Ortiz PPV as the secondary option for Wilder.

It's not on Wilder to help Eddie Hearn secure his money from DAZN.

I just hope Breazeale doesn't derail this fight.... Wilder will cry blood for missing out on a life time fortune.
I hope he doesn't pour water on AL's head like Tyson did to don king.

[Bonduu]

We know Anthony's career is in a slump Edward. How moving it is for you to humble yourself and offer Deontay ' Bronze-Bomber ' Wilder a fortune, considering you wounded Wilder's pride when you initially offered a meager 12.5 million without a share in the PPV revenue.

I say the skinny-leg yanky is taking you to school my boy

Lolsss someone is living in cookoo chicken land of fancy, tell your emotional chump he should fight for his pride and his nation...his excuses are terrible and childish...

“Take control of your career.....enter a contract to fight on dazn....it I’ll get my online troll minions to stalk you”

And that’s really what it’s all about....dazn is pressuring Eddie to produce and Eddie rightfully sees wilder vs Joshua as the biggest fight dazn can make.....wilder just isn’t doing what hearn wants him to do and due to the sense of entitlement he has

[SUBZER0ED]

... I guess that he wants both Joshua and the money... but uncle Al told him all kinds of stories, and the guy isn't that smart...

He'll only fight Joshua if he gets a huge retirement check, because he knows he's finished after that.

Hahahaha, such dumb attempt to make excuses for the wbc chump! Classic cutting your nose to spite the face...forget about what Hearn wants but what does Deotay Chicken Wilder want??? Undisputed??? A chance to cash in 100m into his bank account??? Pls don’t tell me you are this dumb and can’t see it clearly for what it is...a classic duck move!

[Scipio2009]

Same reason floyd v pacman took forever to make. Floyds comments always were why would a 30million doller fighter, fight a 10million dollar fighter at 50/50... with floyd continually proving he was the bigger ppv draw. Wilders only ever ppv v Fury did 300k buys... and that was with fury bringing alot of attention to the fight with his talk and the fact he beat klitchko and was undefeated. This the reason that pbc didnt do the breazele fight on ppv cuz they new it would bomb on sales. Joshua a 30million dollar fighter, and wilders biggest guarantee was $4mil?? they was offered 60-40... and then $100mil 3 fight deal... Wilder is Haymons puppet. Got him on a slave deal fighting bums for couple mill at a time when he could be potentially making 10 times these purses.

Lol.

Anthony Joshua has had tickets on sale for approaching 3 months now, and you can still buy face value seats for about 20%-25% of the building, before you start counting the resellers.

Also, point to the actual offer of 60/40 (mentioned when Hearn was trying to get some attention when it looked like Wilder-Fury 2 was set to happen, but every public conversation since has involved Wilder getting a flat fee and simply following along).

Floyd and Manny fought in the same market, and Floyd did consistently better business than Pacquiao; the comparison doesn't translate.

Anthony Joshua is a big UK star, in his first fight over in the US, and the current indicators should've humbled the situation.
