It's 100% Official Wilder is ducking Anthony Joshua

[powerpuncher]

It looks bad. His story is that he was going to fight Breazeale either way, this way he is a free agent and can still negotiate with AJ or Fury for next fight. If he doesn’t fight AJ or Fury next he’s a punk, plain and simple.

As for Hearn fandom, you all can tell each other fairy tales all you want. The dude lied over and over. But if he can tell you 2 contradictory things and you believe both then you deserve what you get.

I was reading Showtimes side and I agree with you. If he just fights Brazeale on Showtime and then fights AJ on DAZN next, no big deal. If he signs a three fight deal with Showtime after this fight, I will call it a duck, unless the deal is better than DAZN gives him.

Anybody have anything on Wilder himself saying it? Not doubting the veracity of the British press or anything... but Tuesday's come and gone and supposedly there was going to be a big announcement by Wilder.

I like to hear things straight from the horse's mouth.

As much as it pains me I'm good with Wilder and camp basically shutting it down till after mandatory. Either way both have to clear some road debris regardless of house. Is there any doubt Hearn and company will not repeat some form of the offer? The whole point of coming Stateside. Eddies chasing him like a used car dealer off the lot and might do well to be less involved or at least stfu every so often . Look I'm not even convinced Wilder doesn't get flattened by some Breazeale uppercut thrown from his shoelaces but Wilder has options with Dazn going so big so loud..and still owning a trinket insures it. Much of this is also up to AJ and his imminent date with Big Hoss Miller. Finkel sounds like he's playing the long con too with Tyson era bs.

Wilder and Shelly said - we turned down $15 million last year, now we've turned down $120 million, what will they offer us next (with big smiles on their faces).

Also Wilder isn't a slave, he does what he wants and $120 million/Joshua is irrelevant to him. Also Eddie calls Shelly Shirley, which is disrespectful, American's don't like disrespect (these are his words).

Ron, the Breazeale fight isn't PPV. I thought Wilder was a PPV fighter in his own right now? Remember... we'll see what his 2nd PPV does and all that?

Its a fucking joke of a fight, Wilder having to fight someone AJ smashed years ago straight after the Fury fight while Dillian Whyte yet again gets fucked over.
I'd love it if Wilder got done by Breazeale.
This cant be PPV as no cunts gonna buy it.

Breazeale is a limp mandatory but it's just a matter of getting the alphabet soup boys out of the way..then onto bigger things lets hope. I'd much rather see Whyte and Wilder as to me it's an indicator Wilder is serious about broadening his fan base etc for a go with AJ. It's also a damn fine match up and Whyte has head and shoulders above most earned his spot. Joshua smashed him to of course but he's better now imo.

Not defending Wilder, but to be fair Whyte is also someone AJ smashed years ago. I don’t think he’s as improved as everyone seems to think. There was talk of whyte vs Brezeale a while ago, I thought that was a good match up in itself. Only way Wilder doesn’t look real bad coming out of this is if he bowls over Brezeale and then manages to land an AJ fight with an equal or better offer, hard ask going with a different network Only thing I didn’t get about the deal he was offered was 2 out of 3 fights being against the same guy for the same money. That doesn’t make any sense, it’s almost assuming the first fight would be highly competitive and affect neithers stock for the worse, which is extremely unlikely here.

Yep. don't hold your breathe for an answer to this mate.

To be fair , the one part I do agree with is Hearn calling him Shirley Winkle all the time. I said at the time, it wasn't even particularly funny and if he kept on saying it, it would backfire on him . Bit out of order from Hearn, but more cringey than anything.

Hearn badly misjudged the difference in sense of humour of Americans and Brits.

It's the same on here though, self-deprecation is confused with false arrogance, sneering. Sarcasm is taken literally. Americans (obviously not all) don't understand how or why anyone would laugh at themselves or downplay themselves. You must never accept defeat. Always thank god.

(blimey, not sure what started that ramble )

If it wasn’t obvious you weren’t going for irony, that wouldn’t be so cringeworthy.
