    Wilder is in no position to make big demands, Joshua is the bigger name and has made much bigger money and Hearn offered wilders people 10x more money than they’ve ever made before. Wider does not have the resume Joshua does, does not have three belts like Joshua does so he needs to accept the terms and fucking fight as he’s in no position to look for anything near parity. It may be a unification fight but it’s closer to a title defense than a unification in actuality and wilder needs to behave like a challenger And accept the champions terms. Shiiiiiiiiiit

    You're Preaching to the Choir; Even Team Wilder KNOWS This...

    Again, Hearn Initially Offered a Flat Fee of 12.5mil. "Take it or Leave It". But Upon Getting Wind of Joshua Saying "Give Me 50mil, I'll Sign Tomorrow", Shelly Finkel and Al Haymon Concocted a Contract Paying Joshua 50mil + 50% of the Take On Top of That. Eddie Hearn VERIFIED the Legitimacy, but the Offer was Declined Because the Bout was Contracted for the U.S.

    Offers were Thrown Back and Forth, Wilder agREED to Fight in the U.K., and Even Reconciled Himself to a Flat Fee of 15mil. Problem Is, Hearn LITERALLY Sent Team Wilder a Contract w/NOfuckingDATE OR VENUE SPECIFIED Bruh. As Absurd as that Sounds, Hearn Went a Step Further and PUBLICLY Blasted Team Wilder for "Not Responding to My Offer, it's Been 9 Days Now". Hearn Went Even Fuuuuuurther, Coercing the WBA to Issue a 24 Hour Mandate to Sign for the Defense Against Povetkin.

    That was @ Least 2 Weeks Ago, Yet Joshua-Povetkin Still Has YET to Officially Be Signed Bruh! Obviously, it Will Happen Next, but the Faux WBA Pressuring was All Bullshit and All Hearn...

    After the WBA Mandate, it was Shelly Finkel who Revealed they Never Responded Because There was NOfuckingDATE OR VENUE SPECIFIED On the Letter from Hearn. Stephen Espinoza, Head of Showtime, Even Chimed In on the Level of Bullshit Hearn was Spewing.

    You're in the Film/TV/Entertainment Business, Right? You Signing a Contract w/NO WHEN or WHERE Specified? "Sly, Sly, Go Ahead and Sign This, It's a Blockbuster and You're Co-Starring In It. Can't Divulge WHEN or WHERE Filming Starts, but Yeah, Go Ahead and CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATE Yourself Anyways. Thanks in Advance".

    Once Reality Smacked Hearn in the Face, All He Could Muster Was, "The Date is April 19th, 2019, at Wembley. Now Sign the Contract and Send it Back". All the While, Hearn Committed Joshua to a Deal w/the Streaming Service DAZN, Which Will Broadcast Joshua-Povetkin. Hearn Even Offered Wilder a Guarantee of 5mil to Fight Whomever he Wanted, on the Undercard, Fuuuuurther Revealing his Motives...

    Hearn DOESN'T Want Joshua-Wilder Next, Even if A.J. Wants it Next. Hearn NEVER Did Either.

    Hearn's a BULLSHIT ARTIST, Period. Every Bit the Scumbag Mr. Feebles' Harped About for YEARS...REED Never Saw It, But The Joshua-Wilder Negotiations Outlines Hearn's True Nature in Fluorescent Yellow...He's Soooooo Greedy, he's Trying to Fuck You @ EVERY Turn, Even as You're Letting Him Know that YOU Know What he's Trying to Do...

    Povetkin was out out his feet against Price, aka one of the worst fighters the division has ever seen.

    People will give Povetkin a great chance, but I think AJ will stop him inside of 6.

    I’m not sure Povetkin at this point has much chance. I think AJ should be able to beat him.

    If AJ cannot beat Povetkin then he is indeed a fraud.

    Price Can PUNCH if NATHAN Else and Even Dropped Joshua in Sparring Years Ago.

    He’d Be an UNINTELLIGENT Fraud at That, Because a LOSS to Povetkin Flushes That (Potential) 9-Figure Payday with Wilder Down the Toilet.

    Personally, REED Thinks A.J.-Povetkin is a 60-40 Fight. You Don’t Risk the Wilder Payday on a 60-40 Fight.

    He was wobbled a bit but was more a balance shot to be honest. Also, Price is shite but if there's one thing Krang can do it's punch.

    He was "Expected to Earn Close to 20 Million Pounds" for the Parker Fight, from What REED's Read...

    He Reportedly Made "Around 10 Million Pounds" for the Takam Bout....

    In the Immediate Future, Joshua's ONLY Road to 9 Figures Goes Thru Wilder...

    If Joshua and Wilder Keep their "O's" Intact, it's Conceivable for Joshua to Approach or Slightly SURPASS 100mil, If/When they Finally Meet...

    Finkel and Haymon Offered Joshua a GUARANTEE of 50mil + 50% of EVERYTHING Thereafter...Hearn's Deal w/Joshua Won't Be Near that Sweet, but it COULD Be, Conceivably...

    it was known weeks ago that joshua would be fighting on that platform and was a huge part of why DAZN offered such a big financial package

    Yes.

    What Else Did Hearn Have to Offer DAZN But Joshua?

    Why Else Would Hearn Send Team Wilder a Contract DEVOID of Date/Venue?

    Why Else Would He Offer Wilder 5mil to Be On the “Undercard of Joshua’s Next Bout”?

    Joshua-Wilder In 2018 Could’ve Compromised the Secret Deal Hearn Had In Place w/DAZN, All Along. He Knew There was a 0% Chance of Team Wilder Co-Signing On That Shit.

    But Instead of Being Forthright, Hearn Resorted to LIES and SCUMBAGGERY, Which Makes Him and His Fighter Look That Much WORSE Now That the Truth is Revealed.

    All Along, the Biggest Obstacle to Joshua-Wilder was Eddie Hearn, as REED Stated 2-3 Weeks Ago.

    Wilder needs to take some chances and take on a big challenge (like the winner of Parker vs Whyte) so that the public demand the fight. As it is wilder is still “small potatoes” ....best opponent was Ortiz and some say that Ortiz is much older than he claims

    Wilder's Drawn Over a Million Views for his Last 2 Showtime Bouts Bruh...That's NOT "Small Potatoes"...

    Showtime Championship Boxing Shows MORE Bouts Than Anybody Else and Wilder is Consistently Their Highest Rated Fighter...Only Lomachenko's Gotten HIGHER TV Ratings in 2018, than Wilder...

    As REED's Stated All Along, Wilder's the CLEAR B-Side Here, No 2 Ways About It...But Let's Not Pretend he's an Insignificant NOBODY in All of This...

    True, Wilder's definitely not a nobody. But he needs Joshua more than the other way around, naturally. Still, they both need one another, this is true also. Bottomline is...we agree that this fight needs to be made, as if it isn't it'll be another travesty like Lewis-Bowe.

    And Just as the Onus was on Bowe to Face Lennox, Likewise for Floyd Regarding Pac, it’ll HURT Joshua’s Career More if the Wilder Fight Never Happens.

    He’d Be a Laughingstock in America if That Were the Case.

    True. AJ cannot duck Wilder and be a legitimate champion. Instinctively , seems like AJ/his team is the one ducking.

    Anyone think Hearn's gonna try and sell AJ-Miller instead of Wilder next year after this latest kerfuffle?

    Hearn Actually Dangled the Idea of Joshua-Miller at Barclay’s, Shortly After the Danny Jacobs-Miller Doubleheader.

    Would’ve Been a Good 1st Fight for Joshua to Have in America.

    Looks like they're definitely building up the Miller fight now



    Although he did look genuinely pissed off :D

    How old are you, AJ? 15? Lol. Come on.

    Wembley is booked in for April. That's when AJ-Wilder has to happen and no later. Plenty of time to sort their shit out. I just hope that all this doesn't blow up in team Joshua's faces and he loses to Povetkin. They would get so much stick they'd have no alternative but to go in to hiding.

    REED Hates to Keep Harping on it, but Mr. Feebles NAILED It in Regards to Eddie Hearn...For YEARS, Feebs Sounded That Alarm...Props to Him, for like the 53rd Time in This Thread:D

    And Now, After Basically One Extended, Yet SOURED Negotiation Attempt w/Team Wilder, REED GETS It...Soooooo Much So, REED Actually Likes Joshua a Tad LESS Than he Did Prior. Now, REED Understands Why Feebs Never EMBRACED AJ the Way Other British Posters Have...A SMALL Part of REED is Even HOPING Povetkin Beats Him in September:eek: (VERY Small Part, Mind You)...

    Not Because of ANYTHING Joshua's Done, but What he HASN'T Done...He Hasn't Made DEMANDS of his Promoter...Hasn't Spoken Up On his OWN Behalf as Hearn's Lies were Revealed...And the Fallout of a Loss to Povetkin, the UNRAVELING of Hearn's gREED Fueled Plans Would Be COMEDIC as Fuck to Watch Unfold...

    Prior to the Wilder Negotiations, Joshua Would've Been WELCOMED to America by Hardcore Fight Fans, and a Big Baby Miller Fight in July/August Would've Done GOOD Business @ Barclay's...Joshua "Invades" America!...Like REED Posted Earlier, Hearn Even HINTED @ It Publicly...But In Hindsight, that was Because HBO Brass was Present and Obviously Unbeknownst to Hearn's Plans w/DAZN...

    Today, Joshua Would Be RIDICULED in America...Whatever POSITIVE PR Cache He'd Built in the States Has Been Consumed and SHAT Away by Eddie Hearn...American Fans Would Still Show Up, but They'd Be UGLY Towards Him, Similar to How Prince Naseem Hamed was Treated in the Barrera Fight...Maybe Not Quite THAT Bad, but it Wouldn't Be Positive, for Sure...And Wilder Would Undoubtedly Be There, Adding to the Negativity...

    And it's ALL Attributed to AJ's Promoter...Every Bit of It...

    REED Doesn't Know the Terms of Joshua's Contract w/Matchroom, but if he were to LOSE to Povetkin, it'd Be VERY Difficult Maintaining that Relationship...
