Understandable to a certain extent. It's a brutal sport and a brutal business so I'll never knock any of these guys for chasing bread. Dude has accomplished what most fighters dream of in terms of being in big fights and winning world titles. His last couple of losses probably shattered his confidence and doesn't care to be great anymore. Curious how comes back after his losses and that epic meltdown he had after.

Shut up AJ , we all know you’re not the type that fights for money lol if that was the case you’d be fighting Dillian Whyte who represent more money for you than this Franklin guy.

That epic meltdown was funny af and crazy

Why not?

he’s witnessed first hand how fickle fans are. Nobody really cares about you when you’re done, apart from a few nerd historians

make good fights and get as much dough as you can, that’s all that should matter.

What happened to the motivation when 50 million was offered for the Wilder fight???Lmao

[Uncle SneakyTouch]

That's why he doesn't have heart. Dude is ok losing and quitting so long as he gets the big check. I'm all for boxers getting paid good but if you just show up for the check then it shows you're not really willing to be the best

It was, but sad af at the same time. When a man is faced with adversity, their true colors are shown. His came out and it was out there for the entire world to see. With all the accolades he's earned throughout his career, that's probably what he'll most be remembered for.

It's a very simple answer , brutally KO'd the big money stops , as with Fury career biggest payday refused ....brutally exposed the big money stops .

Joshua is being honest here and there's noting wrong with that.It's just a shame as we should have already had great fights with Wilder and Fury to log in our sports history but these are only going to happen if the good fighters in the division look beatable after a loss or they are a last fight cash out on Joshua's name.It's a real shame but with more money than he can possibly spend in a lifetime you would hope that the fighter we once saw and admired coming through would want a earn a legacy and not buy one.With the plans that Hearn is so clearly putting out knocking over a very mediocre Franklin followed by a rematch at Wembley Stadium with Dillian Whyte, who he has already KO'd and has been KO'd twice since , it's clear to see there will be even more excuses for Joshua's poor fans as to why he won't commit to a real fight were he would be in a 50/50 or even a under dog. It's time for these people to wake up and see that they are watching second rate fights based on the 'Joshua' name .There is no excuse other than what Joshua has just said he likes money and doesn't want this to stop by taking a fight he wouldn't be favourite to win ....he never has ...Wake up people, you're being mugged.
