Hearn and Joshua are hrdly wasting anyone's time by suggesting that they meet and hammer out a contract. Hearn and Matchroom are not some inexperienced new kids on the block fudging their way thru. They have a proven track record of putting together fights and shows on an international scale, but It seems that Wilders team are just being churlish and want to be seen to have the upper hand, because they know they really are not the A side here. Haymon may be, but he is simply the advisor, whereas Wilder thinks that he is something he is not. He is not the draw he thinks he is, and it irks. That is why he would not come to the UK for Joshua's last fight, and why he does not want to come and fight away from home.

We are used to it here in the UK. Everyone expects us to travel, and even when our fighters do, they still expect people to pay for PPV at a time in the morning most American boxing fans would never accept.
Again, they won’t meet because thry’ve already dealt with Eddie negotiating in bad faith. What they have to lose by meeting is their time that can be used meeting with people that intend to do business. Eddie should show they intend to do business.

Eddie made requests, requests were approved. Why can’t one request of simply agreeing to the money be approved? Again, it’s the money they asked for!

Eddie is wasting their time if he doesn’t intend to make the fight. There is no reason not to agree to the money you asked for if you want to make the fight.

And here you are like Eddie bringing up things that don’t matter. A side, B side. This matters when determining the money, who enters first etcetera. It doesn’t matter when talking about agreeing to what you asked for.

“Wilder thinks he is something that he is not” again, irrelevant. It doesn’t matter what Wilder is. It matters what he offered. Just more distraction from what matters.

As for Wilder “would not come to U.K. for Joshua’s last fight” he had tickets bought and plans to travel until Joshua said he couldn’t get in the ring. Then when Wilder said he wouldn’t come because of that AJ said he didn’t say that(which he did) but rather that he needed a contract first(not what he said) then he said Fury could get in the ring(curious because no contract!)

He doesn’t want to fight away from home because away from home he gets 12.5, 27.5 for Joshua. You are right, UK fans get screwed because they will buy a fight at a crap hour. US fans won’t. And because of this the fight makes more money in the USA. As proven by the offers. Hearn himself said the fight makes more in the USA. You can be absolutely sure if Eddie said we’ll give Wilder 50 to go to U.K. that offer is signed immediately
