All roads lead to Anthony Joshua

Regardless of who you think the best is...and I currently have him as third best...he is still the financial juggernaut of the heavyweight division, and if you're currently in the division and want your highest pay day, you have to come see him. I dont think Wilder has closed the gap in terms of a split in negotiations...if anything its gotten wider and Joshua has his belts back too. In a week where Wilder as usual did the business in the ring...he unfortunately was true to form and underperforming at the box office. On the flip side, everyone involved with last nights event is smiling, even Ruiz has $10 million to soften the blow...it was a huge success on ppv, in Saudi, and DAZN were extremely happy with their numbers. If Wilder can get the W against Fury, him and his team need to come to their senses, humble themselves, and make the fight happen.

That's true but how long can Wilders people keep paying him when the events dont do the numbers? Either the purses will start coming down or the Joshua fight has to be made. Honestly, I think Wilders team would have thought that he would be doing 500k plus ppvs by now...after Fury I thought he'd move from strength to strength, it hasn't happened. I'm hoping the pressure forces them to make the fight we all want to see 500k with Ortiz? I don’t think so.

Wilder and Fury have already proven that they don’t need Joshua to eat. That's true but how long can Wilders people keep paying him when the events dont do the numbers?

No all roads lead to Tyson Fury The man who beat Wlad and Wilder around the ring with his hands literally behind his back Meanwhile the heavily manufactuered AJ got KO'd by a little fat man and almost got KO'd by Wlad whilst Wilder just KO's old men and milkmen. Then AJ has the gaul to claim himself a 2x champion because he avenged his embarrasing loss? Money is irrelevant. Tyson Fury will end his career as the man of this generation. None of them have chance against him. Not a chance. Remind me who AJ and Wilder beat or payed for their belts off? Stiverne and Charles Martin. What an absolute farce. Dossers the pair of them.
