Wilder didn't "give" Stiverne anything he was inexplicably the mandatory after spending twelve years (sarcasm btw) on the couch and coming back in horrible shape.

And giving a rematch in what was a controversial fight is to be expected... that BS with the doctor in the Ortiz fight was disgraceful and Wilder knew it hence why he had to "prove" his doubters wrong in a rematch.

Why would you? If your the champion? Sure, if their putting a big payday down, but Joshua is the big payday, so he doesn't have to. They'll need to go earn it. And that's not exclusively a Matchroom thing. Wilder has never rematched anyone he's beaten. Nor Fury, who has only just made a first defence.

Exactly. Some folks are programmed to react negatively whenever the name Anthony Joshua and or Eddie Hearn is mentioned not minding whether it makes sense or not, true or false.

Wilder fought Ortiz twice and Fury rematched Wilder after fight 2

Yeah I forgot about Ortiz and already acknowledged it in another post. Fury had no choice. The point of the original comment was doing it voluntary. Fury tried to escape that 3rd fight.

Yup, all guys want Joshua to stay relevant, he is a cash cow.

Would there be a trilogy if AJ wins? Probably not...matchroom fighters lose, as soon as they win a rematch they move on. U don't see any of those fighters giving rematches to anyone they beat.

And you think anyone else has a third fight after losing the first but winning the second?

How many can you name?

because there was no perceived need for a 3rd fight after the destruction in second fight

Perceived or not, it was contracted. That's the only reason that rematch was given. They tried to drop it and were forced by a judge.
