Comments Thread For: Wilder on Joshua: I Always Felt He Had a Weak Mindset, Wasn't Too Confident in Himself

[Zelda]

This fight only happens if there is Saudi money.

Otherwise, Eddie won't let AJ near Wilder and look for some belts to become vacant and go for one of them. Wilder would probably agree to a fight in the US or the UK if the split is right because I do not think he plans to build a 2nd career from the ground up if he cannot get a big fight and a title shot right away. Wilder will be less motivated to fight if it is not AJ or Ruiz for mandatory and might retire for good.

Wilder should have applied his own advice to negotiating with Andy Ruiz for a fight.

Sort of like your confidence with your "daddy" Fury... You can relate....

They're both bad losers.

Before TF's comeback there was about a 2 year period when the only names were AJ & Deontay. Deontay reached out for the fight over & again & AJ would demand a 75/25 split, which was obviously disrespectful in the extreme. IDK if his team were actually scared of Deontay but I can say they weren't eager to make the fight! Now AJ has nowhere much else to go, but I'm not sensing any enthusiasm from him. I just think that, to use the old cliches, Deontay fancies it & I don't think AJ does.

He see's a lot of easy money , who would blame him.

None of us know how easy it will be, that’s why people tune in and want the fight to happen. If we all knew there would be no interest so gone with the bullsh_ _!

Flap - all boxers are bad losers. They have to be. Like they say, you 'play' football, cricket, rugby, hockey, snooker, golf, tennis etc but you don't 'play' boxing.

AJ is Eddie's last golden goose. No way Eddie lets him anywhere near a puncher like Wilder. Watch AJ fight some Euro can like Charr after all the smoke & mirrors.

I usually agree with most of your Post
But Not this one...
AJ & Wilder will Definitely Fight in 2024

The guy Fury three times, he put the Brit down four times, he fought till the end and went out on his shield. Nothing to be ashamed.

you seem to be just making things up though so thats probably how you arrived at your conclusion. joshua literally offered wilder 12.5 million dollars when wilder was making 1 million per fight. how is that disrespectful? joshua was a huge star doing millions of ppv buys. wilder was not. joshua sold 1.5 million ppvs against parker and wilder sold 200k against ortiz(wilder ppv cost almost 3 times as much) but still joshua 2.5 more money generated. joshua parker live gate did 10 mlillion. wilder ortiz did 2 million. 5 times more money generated. even if joshua did offer 75/25 which he didnt since we dont have the numbers, thats more than fair given their drawing power. oh yeah joshua also offered wilder 100 million dollars and he turned it down so not sure how you can say wilder fancied it when he turned it down at every opportunity. just saying you want to fight someone is hollow when you run away at legit offers
