Hearn: I Won't Let Joshua Face Wilder With an 8-Week Camp! A year ago, I support AJ over Wilder, and would have thought he had no qualms in facing him. But how the times have changed. It's becoming very apparent that AJ/Eddie are in full duck mode. Wilder's agreed to every single term, and these two pussies STILL have excuses... Maybe it's hit AJ that Wilder isn't a shot, 40 year old heartless she-man.
It seems that AJ doesn’t seem to care or worse yet be aware as to how bad Eddie Hearn is making him look. Wilder has already made him look bad, and his promoter is doing him no favors either. For whatever reason, they’re stalling the fight. And the last thing I am is a Wilder fan.
Floyd and PAC showed how practical and effective stalling a big fight while racking up paydays in the interim can be.
All this stalling and “building up” of a big fight has been played out. It’s past due time to make this fight.
Hearn is an absolute thundercunt. He'll get away with this because casual boxing fans in the UK are absolutely moronic and will believe all his shite. MTF
Took QUITE Awhile for REED to "Feel" Your Eddie Hearn Angst, Mr. Feebles... The Joshua-Wilder Negotiations Marks the 1st Time REED's Been Privy to Who Hearn REALLY Is Though...REED GETS it Now... Hearn SHAT Upon Any Degree of American Appeal Joshua Had, to the Point He'd HAVE to Face Wilder 1st Before Entertaining Fighting in the States Now... The BELIEF Over Here is Joshua Doesn't REALLY Want it, Would Rather Delay the Inevitable for as Looooooooooooooong as he Can.... And While REED Doesn't Necessarily Agree w/that Sentiment, Hearn's Actions have Done NATHAN to Dismiss It Either... REED
I just don't believe that AJ and Hearn don't want Wilder next. I mean, I understand that AJ is Hearn's biggest draw ever and losing that 0 would be a massive set back, but Hearn has pretty much always delivered the big fights for his fighters. It seems crazy to think that they would wait or avoid Wilder as the timing is perfect and mega amounts of money will be made and Hearn is all about money. I haven't been reading up on all this lately so I may not know some details but wasn't it Wilder and his team who, when asked to supply a contract after offering Joshua a substantial amount of money to fight him, failed to deliver a contract? How can you take them seriously if they don't back up an offer like that?
I dunno, I suppose I'm playing devil's advocate and putting my promoters hat on, but I kinda get it. AJ is the a-side, so it should be in the UK, and a fight this big MUST be held at Wembley. It will happen because it simply HAS to happen, it's too big not to, but Wembley is constantly packed out for other events so I'm guessing it's notoriously difficult to book. The GGG-Canelo II announcement makes sense too. Anyway, as a boxing fan I'm as frustrated as anybody else, I'm a fan of both guys and would love to see it, I'm just trying to see why it's going like it is, it's too easy to just paint it as being "scared".
Shelly Finkel and Al Haymon were Behind the 50mil Offer. Businessmen of THAT Ilk Don’t Bullshit Typically. They Delivered. If REED Isn’t Mistaken, they Proposed the Bout Taking Place in the U.S. Though. Thus it Wasn’t Followed Thru On. Make No Mistake, the Finkel-Haymon Contract KickStarted LEGITIMATE Negotiations Between Both Sides. REED
The Ball is In Joshua’s Court. Wilder Was in No Position to Argue w/Joshua Being the A-Side, So he Didn’t. Wilder agREED to Fight in the UK and was Even Fine with the 3 Fight Deal Joshua Proposed. Again, the Ball is In Joshua’s Court. He’s NOT “Afraid” of Wilder in the Least, But he’s Clearly In NO Hurry to Make it Happen Either. Similar to Thurman-Spence, Though Not as Extreme. REED Thinks Povetkin is a VERY Dangerous Mandatory / “Tune Up” for Wilder and Could Very Well Cost BOTH of them the Largest Single Payout They’ll EVER See in Their Lives. Scared or Not, You Take the MONEY Fight Over a Live Dog Mandatory Like Povetkin. REED
AJ seems very NONCHALANT about this, and that’s clearly rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. His seeming lack of urgency to make the fight has pissed off a lot of people, me included. I’m not sure he’s “afraid”’of Wilder but yeah he seems to not be very interested in that fight at the moment. Spence-Thurman is different imo. It’s been CLEAR as day ever since EJ has stepped on the scene that that Keith has never wanted that fight, going as far as making a 10 million demand for it that he surely KNEW he was not going to get. Between losing his passion for boxing and his “injuries,” I think it’s clearly apparent that he’s just not confident in winning that fight.
