Comments Thread For: Wilder Warns That He Wants To Disfigure, Decapitate Fury in Trilogy Fight

[daggum]

Yeah, so what? This was after Joshua had already fought Povetkin andFury decided to step up and fight Wilder 50/50. Joshua offered a flat fee, just like he did with Ruiz in both fights. Ruiz was desperate for the first fight so he accepted, but he realized in the rematch that Joshua was making over 5 times more than him even though Ruiz beat him. Hearn made a $40 million site fee in Saudi Arabia, 4 times more than Ruiz.

Now do you understand why Joshua hasn't fought the top guys? Always a flat fee so that he and Hearn clean up. The Fury fight was going to be the first time since Klitschko that it was a fair deal...

uhh hes fought all the top guys but wilder who ducked him. strange question. also fury just became a top guy again after smashing wilder and he was set to fight him but wilder won in court so not sure what he was supposed to do there...have you seen joshuas resume compared to wilders? wilder has no one but ortiz(who joshua tried to fight) and fury was out of shape, on drugs, and fighting on undercards when wilder picked him(wilders words) hardly a top guy at the time(check the rankings as well)

lets review shall we? wilder was making 2 million. hearn offered him 12 million. lowball? in fact wilders next fight he only made 4 million(guaranteed) and the ppv didnt do too well and was split 50/50 so he certainly made less to fight a worse opponent. then dazn offered him 100 million for 3 fights and wilder said it was a legit offer and wilder only made around 50 million give or take for his next 3 fights which were against much worse competition(on paper at the time)

wilder couldnt generate anywhere close to what he was offered in flat fees. argument makes no sense. would you rather make 100 million in flat fees or 50 million in percentage splits? ill take the 50 derpppp

It doesn't matter what gloves Fury uses. He will commit to his punches and have the same effect.

The 50 Mill was bullshlt. It came from another platform which would have meant AJ paying millions to get out of his SKY contract to fight on BT Sport. It was propaganda. But i can see why you'd want to keep to that story and not the one with the money offered to Wilder by DAZN. Wilder even admitted he ducked the fight for less money. At no point did that joke get offered a lowball offer either. The lowest offer was 12.5 Mill. Way beyond what that joke is worth. But it wasn't the money. Wilder is just scared of AJ like he is the rest of the division. Wilder tried to get a career out of fighting bums and cherry picking fighters at their weakest in the hope deluded idiots would take such a win on face value. Well, he didn't even get the win. He was beaten both times. Now he and his loons are showing the world how sick in the head they are. I've seen it for years. But for many, it's only now they see the fraud for what he is.

Povetkin never caused any scare to AJ at any point. Your f3cked up mind came to that conclusion because you're weak and desperate. But you're a Wilder fan, you're supposed to be as weak minded as your cult hero.

The fight was happening in Saudi because both agreed to have it there due to the amount of money on offer. Eddie said they could do it at Wembley if they were willing to take less money. Both accepted Saudi. Duh. Anything else is just your fantasies muddling your brain.

Cheerio.

Joshua asked for $50 million and he got it, plus a 50% guaranteed. How he shared it or had to split it was his problem. Hearn's $12.5 million counteroffer was insulting after Joshua had just fought Parker with a 30% split. Essentially it was a "I'm not ready to fight you yet" offer. Then the 24 hour WBA mandatory scheme killed the deal.

The $100 DAZN deal was contingent on two $40 million flat fee Joshua fights. Again, flat fees not percentages. The same scheme that had Ruiz defending his titles against a guy he had just beat, but paid 5 times less and 4 times less than the promoter. Nice. Joshua lost to Ruiz in their first encounter, so he would not have been available to fight Wilder. So Wilder would have been stuck and wouldn't have gotten anywhere near the $100 million. As it turned out, he more than made up for it with Breazeale, the Ortiz rematch and the second Fury fight, with guarantees, co-promotion and PPV revenue.

Regarding the location for the Fury-Joshua fight, it's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of: the biggest fight in UK history taking place in another country. It just wasn't meant to be. It belongs in only one place...

Regarding the Povetkin fight, did you forget the end of the first round when Joshua was buckled and bloodied by a 3-shot combination ending with an uppercut? The same shot that flattened Dillian Whyte?

Yep. Thing no one mentions is wilder is barely literate at all. Typical bully who thought he didn't have to pay attention in school. Fury via TKO by mid rounds... EASILY.

The thing is as well, Wilder is doing himself no favors with the excuses. If he held his hands up and said no excuses, I was beaten by the better man on the night, he would have been praised, rather than ridiculed. And we all know, if he loses again, which is likely, it's going to be the same thing all over again, a new pile of excuses.

Exactly. He did himself no favors with all the whining/excuses.
