Man, I dunno. What's up with all this "He prefers to have the fight in Wembley" and "we can't be near the GGG/Canelo fight is it happens" and "they can't have more than three face offs before the fight" that Eddie Hearns is woofing?? He's make AJ sound soft AF.
In all candor, he seems like he is already mentally beat. He don't want it, but knows he has to take it, and thus is going out his way.
Some might say it's perception, but perception is reality in this game. AJ don't want this fight.

As you can imagine I got straight onto making a thorough and exhaustive search of your previous output. Sadly I found no evidence whatsoever, only rank speculation. :(
Obviously the unsupported claim is now dismissed. You were mistaken, that's ok it can happen! Try to use this failure as a learning experience and work harder next time to make an actual argument that stands up.
:)
Haha, come on man. They've been throwing low ball offer after low ball offer at Wilder. AJ wanted 50 million, they called his bluff and püssyboy turned it down. Now they've agreed to everyhting and still crickets. Look at the majority of the board here that isn't from the UK, it's the same posts of moving the goal posts over and over.
If you can't see that, I'm not sure what I nor any man could do. Like the saying goes, you can bring a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
:beerchug:
I think he's become one a bit recently, yeah. That said I'm not sure how much of that is just him and how much is Hearn whispering into his year. I definitely suspect the latter, he always seems to prefer to defer to Hearn when it comes to the direction of his career and I can't really say I blame him when it's worked out as well as it has for him.
Am pretty sure he would be, why not? He took calculated chances early in his career and it paid off for him. He could have fought bums like a lot of british boxers and be 35-0 before he takes any risk, but look at where he is now.
Sometimes some of this beforehand is psychological. A way of getting one up on the opponent. It's going to be this way because this is the way it's going to be. etc.
Occasionally there's a good reason which isn't immediately apparent. You can't get more Diva'ish behaviour than Van Halen's no brown M&M's right?

If you make the claim you need to justify it with evidence.

AJ most definitely ducking Wilder, did I mention I'm not a Wilder fan?
Hearn is sending offers to make it look like they're not shook.

This thread is terrible, AJ has never ducked anybody. If Hearn didn't want Joshua to fight Wilder than why would he be sending him offers? Hopefully Wilder will sign the contract so we can see the fight.

"we can't be near the GGG/Canelo fight is it happens"
You realise this is a commercial consideration? If casual boxing fans have already dug deep to buy the Canelo/GGG fight they're far less likely to buy AJ/Wilder. So it makes sense to put some distance between the two.
This is a promoter seeking to maximise the revenue from the fight. It needs to be in the contract because, wrongly in my view, Wilder isn't incentivised to increase the revenue as he's on a flat fee.
As for the others, you can choose to describe the behaviour as 'Diva' 'A-side' or whatever positive, negative or neutral term you choose depending on your bias. If you were honest however you'd see that he's doing what many other boxers have done before and that there's good reasons for his actions which aren't dependent on perceived character flaws. Indeed it's likely most if not all of these stipulations haven't originated from Joshua in the first place.
No. That's just the new rhetoric from Wilder fans as to why Hearn/Joshua really don't want the fight... even though Hearn also said there wouldn't really be enough promotion time for a September fight anyway and they'd be looking for October/November.
But...Wembly doesn’t have a roof...
wait, is the new excuse really the GGG/Canelo fight?

That's A side being A side.. Fight in wembley makes sense because of the capacity and numbers it pulled for AJ-Wlad
It is a no brained that they don't want to coincide with Canelo-GGG rematch date as it affects the promotion and hype to their fight which in turn affects the numbers..
The face off condition if true is a bullshít one.. they'll promote this fight from London to Vegas, so the media want them to square off with each press conference..

He's the biggest draw in Heavyweight boxing. Why the f*ck wouldn't his Promoter point out what his preferences are? Especially when they are important.
If you ask the New England Patriots where they want to play their playoff football, they sure as f*ck won't say on the road, will they? Home field. Basic sh*t.
I dont think so, more like he aint a sucker and wants to get paid all he can. Why will be bow and bend to Wilders demands? when AJ commands the lionshare of the turnout and buys which = he is the a side and should demand the lionshare of the purse and the perks of being A-side.
Did you even read what he wrote? This thread has nothing to do with the lion share or the purse lmao wrong thread buddy

#NotARealChampIf the fight happens then clearly AJ wanted the fight.He makes huge money every fight fighting guys not named Wilder so he sure doesn't need to fight Wilder. Of course he wants the fight at home just like Wilder does. Face offs are a waste of time and three face offs is probably two to many. You are trying so hard to make AJ soft, scared and mentally beat but it's just wishful thinking. AJ is a real champ and if the fight happens he will be the betting favorite to win.
LOL yea this is the first thing I thought of myself. That was just weird with how Joshua worked that in there.
I mean but w/e. You can't be a 8 digit fighter & not be a lil bit of a diva. It comes with the territory. Fighters historically have rarely made 8 digits for one nights work let alone get that every time out like Joshua likely will from here out or as long as he's relevant anyway. You can't NOT let that go to your head & take advantage of certain things fighters usually don't get to take advantage of.
Sh^t it'd be weird if you didn't turn a lil diva-ish upon making $10M+ a fight. And honestly its probably lower than 8 digits that puts you in the diva category, but its a safe bet 8 digits for sure extends you past the point of a diva.
of course he's a diva. His entire pro career has been manufactured. Anthony Joshua isn't a boxer, he's a brand. He always has been and the UK has eaten it up. Guy has a great PR campaign no doubt.
wait, is the new excuse really the GGG/Canelo fight?
I don't think they can use it as Deas said the fight can be anywhere between september and november
