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

[15 Rounds again]

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.

You're pit of your mind bro. Hearn tells it like it is and that lying ducking phoney Wilder is the one full of bs. I have no idea how you, a supposed boxing fan, can justify supporting Wilder and his slave master Finkel and that weasel Haymon - over a guy like Hearn who is doing everything he can to.give us, y'know, fans of the sport - what we all want. Yet somehow you call that bs! You are not of sound mind.

Wilder is trying to squeeze every dime he can by holding out. I think they'll eventually fight. Wilder knows the AJ fight gives him (and AJ) the biggest pay day he'll ever get. So I believe that is happening for that reason and besides these promoters want that money too.

[Holler]

I'm stating what he mentioned in his interview and I'm sure with that kind of money, they'd have control over him to an extent. But hey, if you know better than him what the contract entails... Ok

This was Dan Rafael:

DAZN offered Wilder two versions of a deal from which he could pick, two sources with knowledge of the offers told ESPN.

One deal, the sources said, was for three fights worth $100 million. The first fight would have been a $20 million payday to fight Breazeale this spring, which is way over the market value for that level fight. Wilder was guaranteed $10 million to fight Fury in their exciting draw on Showtime PPV on Dec. 1. The second fight would have been for $40 million to fight Joshua in the fall for the undisputed title with the third fight being an immediate rematch with Joshua for another $40 million -- even if Wilder, in the worst-case scenario, had gotten knocked out, even in the first round, of the first fight by Joshua (22-0, 21 KOs), 29, of England.

The second version of the offer, one of the sources said, would have paid Wilder $20 million to fight Breazeale, $40 million for the Joshua fight, a $20 million fight against another opponent to be determined followed by another $40 million for a rematch with Joshua in the fourth fight.

At no point has Wilder or anyone on his team disputed this or claimed that there were additional options beyond the fights specified. Instead Wilder then claimed:

“Some fail to realize that we have our own money, our own networks with a big audience, and a big stable of heavyweights.

“They always saying I’m stuck, what is my next move? But the question is, what are these other guys going to do? I’ve got a lot of options here with heavyweights at PBC.”

He's spelled it out for you.

[MDPopescu]

Wilder doesn't want Joshua, that's all there is to it. He's tried to talk a good game, but the truth is, he's a bum and he and PBC know it. Even his fans have run out of excuses for him. It's crickets lately.

... 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...

[Boksfan]

Beyonce Wildher is the champion of Murica, nobody can force Beyonce to fight! War Beyonce!

[lfc19titles]

Actually, if you read Wilders most recent interview on boxing talk... Controlling his own career is why he didn't sign with dazn. He didn't want them to have the control that they would if he signed on.

Instead he is owned by an old white dude who told the world he won’t let wilder go

Cost him 100m to fight for 4-5m instead

Also cost him 10m for Whyte and 15m for Joshua to fight for half of that in his next fights

Lots of control there

Wilder will go down as broner level ******, in fact he is already at that

Remember when broner turned down a huge 5 fight deal with rock nations I think it was

Guess what, he has not since then made as much as what was on offer much like wilder

[1hourRun]

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

[Jab jab boom]

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.

who's making out out to be more than it was? Again, I'm saying what wilder stated in his interview on a site. You don't really know the specifics of what was in that contract. What his obligations would be nor what kind of percentage he would get in comparison to Joshua. So your argument isn't credible because you lack info.

[Jab jab boom]

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."

[eco1]

I am tired of saying this to you Wilder haters!

I hate you!!!! How can you talk down a pregnant man????
