Promoter Don King has been waiting for fellow promoter Eddie Hearn to return the calls he has made to him to offer interim WBA heavyweight champion Trevor Bryan as Anthony Joshua’s next opponent.

“All I am hearing is a bunch of lies out there,” said King.

“They are saying I asked for $15 million for Bryan to fight Joshua. I haven’t asked for a dime. I haven’t talked to Eddie, but I’ve left multiple messages and he certainly has my number. I’m ready to talk to Hearn or Joshua and Bryan is ready to step in and make the fight.

“Based upon my wonderful relationship with Eddie Hearn’s father Barry, I would be happy to help promote this great boxing extravaganza between Anthony Joshua and Trevor Bryan. This would give boxing fans around the world a great championship fight which they richly deserve.”

I saw this the other day. Even Hearn probably had to wipe the slime from his phone after this call.

I told my wifey I was going into training. She asked "why?" I answered, "I'm going to get my head bashed in for $5 Million." She answered, "that's nice." She really loves me.

Hey get in line! We can't all fight Joshua. I'm in line right behind Bryan and Blow.

Suits me but we gotta do it fast so we don't miss out on the big bucks at MSG.

$100,000 for Bryan (before expenses) and $4,900,000 to King.

So wait. The replacement fighter is going to get what Miller was guaranteed?

Fact or fiction?

Read it again Senor.

Read what.

My understanding is that Miller was guaranteed near $5 million.

If King and Bryan were divvy up a paycheck of $4.9 to King and a generous $100,000 to the fighter, that sounds like the same figure Miller was promised.

He was joking about Don King taking 90% of the split. No numbers associated with Bryan being the guy.

I realized it was a joke.

I figured King would only take 80%.

But how much was Bryan or any of those other 10,000 potential replacement being offered?

Or is that still a trade secret?

Hearn has stated numerous times all fighters he negotiates with must sign a nondisclosure agreement

It must be real low ball then.

Why do Joshua and Miller's numbers (if accurate) become public knowledge but the purse for the replacement is a matter of secrecy?

Cause the deal was done I guess.

We'll have to wait and see if the eventual replacement's purse is disclosed or it remains a Hearn secret.

Don't the state commission usually release info on the fighters' guarantees before the card takes place?

Yes they do

"Trevor, you can have 15mm in a few months, or you can take this mystery box now. "

Oh, is a win over BJ Flores what it takes to qualify someone for a world heavyweight title shot?

Trevor should try fighting someone. Maybe fight Szpilka, Washington, Dimitrenko, or Price to at least prove that he's in the top 50.
