The Wilder Excuses Begin

[Ron Swanson]

What he said that was true is Wilders team isn't expecting the fight to make 120 million. They're expecting it to make 70 or 80 and then Wilder gets 20 or 30 instead of 12.5. With a chance at more.

But just earlier today people were "why does Eddie have to take all the risk?" Here Eddie has no risk, more money than he says the fight is worth. If he is shown the money is secure he should jump, not try to negotiate a different split as he's suggesting. Not worry about where the money came from. Not argue for the fight to be in the UK. Most money chooses location, how it's always been.

Just make the fight.

Eddie just made an offer with no details sorted.

A significantly better offer for his guy came back with some details sorted

No automatic rematch
Next fight for both

Why does Eddie care about details now? He didn't when he made an offer. If it comes back Wilders team doesn't have the money obviously he is FOS. It will come out in the wash. But Haymon has put on 2 half billion dollar fights in the last couple years, he got a half billion in investments for PBC. A suggestion he can't raise 50 million is silly. Of course of it isn't already raised Wilders team is FOS. But considering the people involved thinking they can't raise it is silly. The question is did they, not splits, not UK, not who made the offer, the other parties have corroborated the offer.

I'm going to step away from this for a few days because those that don't want to see what's happening will refuse.

When you want to deceive you use misdirection. It's blatantly obvious Eddie is trying to get everyone to look away from the things that matter towards the things that don't. Misdirection, deception.

The detail that matters is do they have the money secured. That is the start and the end. If they do it's legit, if they don't they're FOS. I implore you people, don't fall for blatant misdirection.

Ron's gone all 'beautiful mind' on us.

Ron's favourite film is deffo The Prestige, the misdirection in that is off the scale.


If AJ was fighting Floyd he would have evidence of Al Haymon being involved in a $50m+ fight. Eddie will probably speak to Al when they meet Friday, although considering everything he says is a lie, that's probably made up too.

Eddie's favourite film must be Catch Me If You Can, the lies in that are a work of art.

Well Ronnie boy, it’s all looking good with the offer. If it materialises and can be actually made , fantastico! It’s one thing saying something , another to back it up and follow through.
But obviously if the offer to fight in the US is better than the offer to fight in the U.K. for both fighters, then that is what should happen.
And like I said from the start , we will then be able to differentiate the blaggers from the serious people.

Wilder should NOT fight in the UK with all those dodgy British stoppages. It ruins fights every time. If Pac Marquez 1 was in the UK we would never have seen a great trilogy. It would have been over in a minute. You don't want to fight in a place that won't let you fight.
