Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn met Deontay Wilder's promoter in the United States and told them to be realistic when it comes to financial demands...
"We need middle ground between reality and fantasy," said Hearn. "If we can, I don't see problems making the fight."
"Unfortunately, Anthony has to overpay his opponents. If we offered Deontay the correct purse for this fight it would never happen because he would think it was disrespectful.
"so we have to overpay him to make it happen. And we have to give him respect because he's a great fighter, a great champion, really exciting, a great self promoter.
"I feel a bit bad for him, he's got no promoter pushing him."
Hearn went on after a meeting with Wilders camp "It's going to happen in 2018, absolutely no question. You can't get away with not making fights any more because when you do you wake up to a million tweets."
