Comments Thread For: Wilder Says He's Working on Two-Fight Deal with Joshua; One in Saudi Arabia, One in Africa

[SteveM]

Damn! How about just getting one fight over the line first? Sounds like amateur hour tactics to squeeze a bit more money out of the Saudis. Way too much talking in the HW division- fight more and proper fights on a timely basis - follow Usyk's example.

Another Rumble in the Jungle Deontay? Lol FOH

[nixxter]

Yeah I’m sure Africa is paying $100 milly a piece LOL

Wilder go away!!!

The money is real. Wilder got the offer via email from the Nigerian prince himself.

When Joshua was looking dangerous, a team of wild horses couldn't drag Wilder into the ring with him. Now that he's shown some vulnerability, he's like, "Hell yeah, let's plan TWO fights in Saudi Arabia!"

[Oregonian]

An intriguing heavyweight bout could possibly have an encore. For most of the past year former heavyweight titlists Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua have been rumored to be finalizing plans to meet in the ring for a high-profile fight in Saudi Arabia.

No country in Africa can afford to put up $200 million. That’s just nonsense talk.
PPV is non-existent or for the Uber rich and 90% of them do not care for boxing.

"What country is that Deontay?"

"Africa."

He had his dna done and has openly spoken about Biafra, Nigeria at large, and Benin

nigerian gdp sit at about $441b. It has 3 billionaires and close to 10,000 millionaires on the country. Now the gate may not reach Vegas or NYC range but with an international crowd and PPV targeted at the usa and the U.K., along with Saudi promoter backing, I don’t see any problem with the fight being hosted in Nigeria

These two fights deals can get tricky. Fury and Usyk's teams were negotiating such a deal and then It all fell apart.

Sometimes we don't need two fights. Most of the time one fight is enough and conclusive, unless it's two truly great fighters, and a great fight.

[War Room]

In Africa, they willing to overbid Saudi right now. They was gonna bid $200 million—100 [dollars] apiece.

That's mind bobblin'!

Better bring your 6 foot inch nails big guy.

Wilder really seems to not be scared of Josh now and really wants josh? Well with so much money at stake it can overcome fear this time.
Wilder will be handsomely rewarded for losing to Josh once by ko, and another on points

Joshua better be careful he doesn’t get knocked out in round 1. I’m tired of watching this new style of his. I actually thought he was gun shy but he actually believes this new style of his is the way forward. He is 6ft 6 250lbs he looks ****** trying to fight like a 135lb fighter. He is too stiff and constantly gets caught in the face flush. There is no one here that is a bigger fan of Joshua than myself but he fought Helenius and I saw a plastic Viking bamboozle him, bloody his nose and close his eyes. He has immense power he should ****ing let’s his hands go so these fighters won’t be so confident to throw. Stop backing up and stamp your authority and will in fights. It’s ****ing annoying to watch. I always felt AJ would beat Wilder but now I’m not sure
