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

[Oregonian]

This is one of the dumbest thing’s I’ve heard lol. AFCON soccer cup in Africa got sponsored with a deal worth more than $1 Billion. Seems like you & other ignoramuses watch too much CNN…

there are about 165,000 very wealthy individuals in Africa with a combined net wealth holdings of more than $660 billion. This equates to roughly 28% of total individual wealth held on the continent. From 2000 to 2013, Africa’s very wealthy individuals increased by more than 150% compared to the worldwide growth rate of 73%. In 2013, South Africa topped the list with 48,800 dollar millionaires, followed by Egypt with 23,000, Nigeria with 15,900 and Kenya with 9,000.

The idiotic thing is to equate a global sport followed by billions to boxing. How many people in Africa care for Wilder or AJ? Such an Anus

[hhh1200]

Almost 40, refuses a tune up with a stable of heavyweights at PBC but AJ is the guy cashing out when he is looking for yet another tune before the end of the year. Someone make sense of this. Wilder is looking for 2 rusty right hands and a pair of retirement direct deposits. AJ is to Wilder what Canelo was to GGGimmick. Wilder's jump from 700k a fight is directly attached to AJ's name just like the other fraud who was fighting in front of 3900 in ballrooms

Nigeria is in the top 5 most corrupt and mismanaged country on earth.
Two, why would a Saudi promoter back an event that’s not in the kingdom?
If you had mentioned South Africa, maybe that’s a possibility after all Lewis-Rahman II happened there.

Yes I remember the fight, “the big payback.” nigeria has its trials and tribulations, but oil has made that country very rich. The government can be corrupt but business is business, if DK can make it work with one of the worst dictators of the latter half of the 20th century in the former Zaire, no doubt savvy Saudi businessmen can make it work in Nigeria. As you pointed out, South Africa has hosted FIFA and other sporting events. I believe the so called “west” needs to get over its limited and often biased view of Africa especially its extremely more wealthy nations. It’s this view that’s driving those nations into the China-Russia sphere of influence

[Oldskoolg]

One delusional dude lol.. Nigeria is a third world impoverished country, cut the bs

Considering you have referred to a largely welsh/Scottish *** as “the negro”, I’m afraid I don’t have a lot of faith in your geographic proficiency..

[thack]

I would like to think that a rematch would be warranted but
I doubt very much it will. I see Joshua’s stand up and slow robotic style being Taylor made for the fast and lethal punchers that Wilder throws. I truly hope for Joshua’s sake I’m wrong

“In Africa, they willing to overbid Saudi right now,” Wilder said. “They was gonna bid $200 million—100 [dollars] apiece.” - Deontay Wilder!

Now that's WHOA! Would love to know which country though!

Most of the American-Born citizens, of Non-African descent, think Africa is one country! I have an old former U.S. Navy shipmate, who has actually travelled to Morocco and Egypt, and didn't know he was in Africa! Sad but funny! Lol!

This fight isn't going to happen is it?

Why did you feel the need to mention "non-African" descent, descendants of Africans are just as ignorant, it's completely irrelevant where people descend from.

Americans are utterly ignorant to the wider world and they're often self absorbed twats, who believe America is the center of the universe... when it comes to anything that doesn't involve their own country, for some even their own state, they generally couldn't care less...

Simply bore out by the fact that like 30% of Americans have passports and in most other western countries 90% of their residents have passports...

Well, once Wilder is trying to take Josh head clean off his shoulders, the reality will hit Josh that it's kill or be killed. And Josh will put some oommph in his punches to get Wilder s respect.

it will be too late by then
