Comments Thread For: Wilder: It's Not About Overpricing Yourself Out of a Fight; Let Us All Get a Piece of The Pie

Wilder is right about Fury, but Wilder himself is also ducking Ruiz, lets not forget that.

Fury and Wilder are two the most annoying individuals in boxing, it seems to me they like more talking than fighting.

Ok guys, you had your trilogy, but the live goes on and it is time to fight somebody.

Another liar that's doesn't follow boxing.
Ruiz wanted to much money to face Wilder.
Ruiz is also Hrgovic mandated fight but ducked that wanting to much money.
Ruiz also just ducked Fury demanding to much money.

A fat fcuk that's been on the Aj diet of 2 shot past it 40 plus year olds in 4 year's.

Guess you should have taken the 100m instead of ducking AJ. instead now you made less due to your pbc loyalty lmao

amazing how the mighty get humbled, tried his best to lie about the Joshua negotiations not realising the truth would come out. Only the die hard pbc fans defend him but they are on drugs and unemployed.

Boxers now see themselves as deserving more than what they are worth, that’s what the promotional wars started by dazn have caused

There has never been a time in the history of sports when the top boxers didn't make the most money- Not ever.
Today we have athletes making millions playing children's sports. Hundreds making huge amounts playing a game where you can't even use your ARMS!! Can't imagine what you're thinking but it's clear you've never boxed against someone with hungry kids at home.

I guess AJ should've accepted the 50 million offer then?

50 mil for fighting a guy who couldn't last 5 rounds with Wilder if you handed him a bazooka. If that fight was available for Wilder, trust and believe that he would've jumped at the chance. See y'all in Saudi Arabia!

He's right. Fury/Usyk is a 50/50 fight. There was no need for Fury to price himself out of that fight. Also, they should add Joshua/Wilder on the undercard.

Co-main event, NOT the undercard. A card headlining the 4 best heavyweights of the 21st century. 1. Fury. 2. Wilder. 3. Usyk 4. Joshua. The Carnival of Champions.

Wilder is full of it, he had many opportunities but his shady management/promoter control him like a puppet and the ship sailed... Don't be surprised if fat boy slips and counters and flattens Bum Squad.

I agree. Good post!

Ruiz priced himself out. He did all the ducking. Same exact level as Ortiz anyway, who WilderKOd twice. Maybe they'll face each other next year.

Yeah, that was a great offer, like one of Fury's special contracts. Fight me for $50m, check your inbox, we need a yes by midday or it's off. Promoter goes to meet representatives to discuss the contract. The representatives decide they don't want to meet to discuss it. That sounds just like Wilder describes it: without all that stipulation stuff. Except we need a yes by noon. And we won't meet to discuss any of it. A very serious offer indeed and in no way a PR stunt.

Eddie Hearn - "We are very interested in your offer. Let's meet up and discuss the details."

Shelly Finkel - "Have AJ accept the offer first. Then we can discuss the details"

Sounds reasonable to me.

There's more to the Ruiz v Wilder situation. It's an ordered fight. If they were even negotiating then it should have gone to purse bids.

The fight has to have been rejected regardless of money.

My take is that Ruiz was negotiating with Fury, who seems to be negotiating with everyone and holding up multiple fights.
