Baby ggg
Martin Murray has been handed this opportunity so that Saunders can begin early preparation for a GGG fight. Murray cuts the ring off and hits hard as he's typically been fighting at Super Middleweight recently. He also took GGG the furthest before Jacobs went to points with him. So hes durable. If Saunders can stop him, this fight will give him more respect those that dont believe he can test GGG and Canelo
Deontay Wilder is not Elite level. That's just facts. He came up against his 1st serious BOXER and didn't have a clue of how to be effective.
Wilder was offered his biggest payday before fighting Fury by AJ and DW.
Wilder is an Embarrassment to all American heavyweight boxing fans. He has made more excuses than any American heavyweight boxer in the history of the sport .Facts.
Unfair Advantage
I Didn't watch the fight. However Paul obviously had an advantage. KSI is probably a Super Middleweight in reality as he had a lot of body fat at the weigh in. Paul was likely 205-210 lbs in the ring. Paul should have been able to stop KSI in six rounds without the need to bend the rules!
This is the likely reason that Jack Reiss was handing out points, in an attempt to protect the other fighter.
Frank the vank
Whatever Fury fans say. He gave those belts up. Yes he out boxed Klitboy. Fair play. But he himself said the heavyweight division had been boring for years because of how Vlad fights. Fury was in the most boring Heavyweight title fight in a decade. By the time he fights AJ, Josh will be the real champ by collecting belts after destroy the opposition. You cant get coked up and expect sympathy and call it mental illness. Get back to fighting. ONE LOVE!
Brother Please!
DW comes to England shouting out his usual song. The next step is to fight a Brit. A Brit that AJ has beaten. Perfect setup for a BIG HW clash. For $3M. OK you dont like the offer. Negotiate. Dont cry about it. Hes only fought unprepared fighters up until now. In terms of profile DILLW is a step up in class. So hw prices himself out at $7M lol. I rate DW. He must see that fighting DILLW and beating him takes him to a $10M+ super fight with AJ.
Dumb ass
So Deontay Wilder says it was a team decision not to go to the UK. Does he not realise that there are only a handful of countries who will not be watching this fight in the World. The amount VIP attending
from Bob Arum to Sugar Ray will be at the fight. This is history. Even if he sits there and heckles AJ all through the fight. That would be brilliant. If his team advised him not to go. Then its because Eddie Hearn has riled them. He has to realise that AJ owns his own show. His team control what happens. So DW cant just say im getting in the ring like Tyson Fury did to him and try to undermind the greatness of the occasion. And how corny did that look. When you Unify you are making history. DW has not done this. However bad he is. Know your place. Dont throw your dummy out because a fighter may offer you a $4m plus US revenue to fight in front of 20000 fans in London. The same guy youll need to fight as your mandatory regardless for half the money in 6 months. Which in turn will impede on a fight with AJ . Wilders team is the problem here. They dont want him to sit down with Eddie and Al Haymon on a conference call and get **** done! Because they will be squeezed out. The bulk of this deal will be dealt with by Matchroom. Which means AJ will once again take control of the event per the contract.
Get on the plane its simple.
I was at the fight on Saturday. AJ was applauded several times during the night. He was booed after saying he couldn't guarantee Whyte a rematch in April. As Wilder & Fury are in line first. I think by now most people would prefer AJ to fight Wilder next. Thatd be a great fight. Wilders team will push for AJ. A rematch can happen anytime with Fury, plus we have heard his trainer suggest a break would do Fury good. Wilder makes more money against AJ. Another Fury v Wilder build up would get stale imo. The longer he takes to fight AJ the tougher it will be for Wilder. He has clueless egotistical logic.
Messiah
Tyson Fury is not looked as a Messiah in the UK. He is a top top fighter. He lost he way to drink and drugs for a while and came back. The mental illness makes a great story. Failing a drug test and blaming it on meat is another great story.
Can't wait for the fight!
Ahh plzz
Deontay has to travel to make decent money. Fighting in Bingo halls just wont cut it all the time. And going to Russia dont count. And would you really count Auderly Harrison as a challenge? So to put in perspective if he sold out the MGM and made $15m dollars a fight. Would he fight AJ in the UK.
Totally unfair to hurt innocent sport personalities. So are we going to stop each Russian footballer, Basketball player competing etc. Keep politics out of sport. The US didn't even want Vitali Klitschko in their made up Government. Where was all this passion when Iraq was getting flattend. Let's not talk about the 8% of the Ukraine Army that are basically Neo Nazi. Some who have been trained to kill from teenagers. This War is horrible. We should not put spotlights on individuals who are innocent and have fought to get to where they are in life and then cast a shadow over them.
Why would a man that makes 7-10mil a fight before endorsements. Sells out 90k seater stadiums do as Wilder thinks is best. AJs a Boss. Wilders getting desperate for exposure. If he dont want it in the UK, then fight ya mandatory for the exposure. Which hopefully will be DW.
This is the guy that was upset cause nobody gave him respect as a Champion lol. Fell to bits and got on the sesh. Never even defended the belts. Everyone likes to say he helped the division by beating Vlad. No. He helped by not being a True Champion. Hes a good fighter. Good character. He also beat an over the hill Vlad. In a slap boxing kinda way. He needs to give respect where its due. Stop hating ( ok i know hes gotta hype the fight) on AJ. Get in shape. And stay off social media. Because the fights sold.
I would say none of them. If I had to guess. Although the splits the b side would take based on Mayweather ppv would typically be 15-20%. Wilder is asking for a 50-50 split.
The Best in your division
Anthony Joshua has fought four of the best in the division Deontay Wilder is in.
This guy is full of rubbish.
IMO Alexander Povetkin is better than all of these fighters.
Deontay will fight Breazeale but won't fight Whyte. He may be his mandatory but he does not have to fight him next!
Who's fighting the best?
1 .- Dillian Whyte (Jamaica/GB) SILVER
2 .- Luis Ortiz (Cuba)
3 .- Dominic Breazeale (US)
4 .- Tony Bellew (GB)
5 .- Tyson Fury (GB) * CBP/P
6 .- Joseph Parker (New Zealand)
7 .- Agit Kabayel (Germany) EBU
8 .- Dereck Chisora (GB)
9 .- Charles Martin (US)
You have to realise a Matchroom ppv fighter takes responsibility for the show itself. AJ will have a budget. He'll pay Wembley, undercard fighters, lighting crew etc. Matchroom take around 12% from what i remember. Sky maybe 20%. So when these other fighters keep flapping their mouths. They really are not in control of the situation!
African Warrior
Joshua is not built like a fake Greek nude guy. Typical of the media to push that definition. He is built like a true African Warrior.
Yes If this was Tyson Fury he'd have been back on the steroids or cocaine again. AJ will take 3 weeks off and be back. He Definitely wont be missing for 3 years.
Dillian Whyte has forced Arum and Warren to pay up. Fury should be thanking him for making this go to purse bids. I can't see Top Rank breaking even unless it does 1 million plus PPV. Principality Stadium will bring in 17 million max and PPVS 25 million, possibly.
If DW wins the arbitration case its likely he'll be awarded an extra 10% of the bid.
Chat **** get banged!
So Wilder says hes chasing AJ. Yet he made no official contact with him. AJ gets in contact with Wilders people. Sends Eddie out there. To NEGOTIATE! Wilders peolpe say he wont budge on 50/50.
AJ now earns around 15m a fight. Wilder im guessing 1m on AVERAGE a fight. Hes not in AJs league.
Whos ducking who when the pot for that fight will be 50-60m. So now Wilder takes 25m for AJs hard work.
**** outa here people!
Timing kills speed. Wilder will disappear after hes laid out. And thats the truth!
Fish eye lie
How on earth is that fight with AJ V Fury gonna happen when AJ fights in December against his(contracted) mandatory. Also the biggest fight in Heavyweight boxing history needs a crowd.
Warren doesn't want Fury anywhere near Whyte. That fight should be the 1st thing on his mind. It builds the AJ fight perfectly for a late 2021 Stadium event.
DDD is a solid heavyweight. He still hasn't been in with anyone that's likely to trouble him. Id like to see him against Usyk if he beats Chisora.
Tyson has too many mouths to feed. Warren and Arum know his contract will be up after his next fight. And the Wilder fight will not generate the funds to break even on the $80m Contract.
Tyson should just do a one fight 50/50 deal with AJ in the Summer.
After he has defended a Heavyweight title for the 1st time in his career against Dillian Whyte.
