Comments Thread For: Wilder Might Fly To The UK To Speak With Joshua: I'll Sit Down With Him on Some Real Man ****

Wilder is an embarrassing case.

There have been others like Kell Brook going after Khan for years. But at least Kell kept himself active.
Even went up and fought Golovkin for $3 mil. He kept on going with Spence, Crawford, then finally got the Khan fight.

Khan himself had a money fight waiting for him in the UK and he knew it's always been there for him,
yet he wanted more than money. He went after Mayweather, Pacquiao, unfortunately failed, but fought Canelo, Crawford, etc.

Truly an embarrassing case.

**** these once a year fighters, so tiresome.

Somebody better tell Wilder he don’t have to go that far because Joshua is in Texas which is roughly a 2 hour flight from where he is , chances are if he knew this he doesn’t make foolish comments like this . Lol


Ironically Wilder is the inactive fighter while Joshua is currently training and has a presumed December date so if Wilder really wants to see him he has plenty of free time on his hands doing nothing ?

Anybody that talks **** like that in the media you should expect the opposite….typical yank running his mouth to the world and doing another thing in real life.
Wilder has had one fight on over two years so that’s how serious he is in making a real impact on the rankings joshua has had 4 fights lol

It sounds like only one guy wants the fight.

Sounds like one inactive 38 year old is using PR stunts to secure a pension fight.

I wouldn't be surprised if both guys want the fight but Eddie Hearn doesn't. Kinda like Bud having to go straight to Spence and cut Haymon out of the initial stuff and then the fight got made.

Why wouldn't Hearn want it? It makes him far more money that lower profile fights against the likes of Hrgovic which Joshua could still lose.

Aj will be in Dubai if you do.
The issue has alway's been Eddie Aj & money & they're entitlement. With the Saudi money gone they aren't interested in facing Wilder for only a few million.

Look back at the 90s, didn't Holyfield Tyson earn 50 mill a piece? Say what you want about Don King but he made the fights & fans paid. Today there's so much avoidance & least risk for most reward boxing lifers like myself are ready to give up.

Great ufc card again at the weekend, cant wait.

Extremely annoying subject. They claim they want the fight, yet both sides don't want to explore non-Saudi venues. Which makes the claim bogus. These reporters have no interest in asking Hearn, Finkel, Wilder why it can only happen in the oil-rich country. Annoying subject, annoying reporters covering it, everyone is annoying as F. They don't know what they want.

It's certainly a useful subject for talking heads on YouTube who need engagement and love to spend their time speculating about secondhand reports.

Entitlement mate,
Just listen to Hearn when he spoke about Wilder Aj in Saudi telling them what they earned before expecting the same or more without any belts. Also name dropping Fury all the time demanding it's a 5050 fight. They had everything they're own way for so long with rematchroom clauses, take take take they've become delusional. Aj thinks he's carrying the division pmsl.

That doesn't really answer the question though. I don't think Hearn and AJ's interests are necessarily aligned anymore, based on what Hearn has been saying about "run out" fights. I know it's fun to run with this narrative that Hearn is protecting AJ but think about it this way, it's much better financially for Hearn if AJ loses to Wilder rather than Hrgovic (for example).
