Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: Joshua Asked For $50 Million, We Provided That, He Didn't Take It

Lol. Great points.

Wilder wouldn't even get into the ring with Ruiz for less than 70%. He is barely a serious fighter anymore. Hoping Parker fights patiently and KO's ol wind up Wilder.

And I say that knowing Hearn is protecting AJ big time. AJ and Wilder are both past it. AJ stops him imo.

Personally, they're both full of s%$#. Just feel Wilder is more full of s&%*. Never heard him take accountability for anything ever. Can't believe anything anybody like that says. Him and Parker should be a decent scrap tho. If Parker can somehow avoid getting hit clean by Wilder's Godhand, he can outbox him and win this fight. That's a big IF.

Wilder hasn't beaten a top-10 guy in 4 years. Just the idea he would offer $50 million to fight the top-guy at the time is hilarious. For the record Hearn said they were asked for and never gave proof of funds. Was just words for gullible fans to believe

Also Wilder later said "Joshua offered me more but I took the Fury fight instead" at a time when beating Joshua would have meant becoming unified champion...

Now, at this time - everyone and his mother wants to fight Joshua because he looks very beatable...

For the record, neither has Anthony Joshua in the last 3 years. The last time Wilder and Joshua fought the #1 and #2 ranked guys, they both lost and haven't beaten a top-10 guy since.

Regarding their past, I don't think either side was that enthusiastic about fighting each other except on their terms. Wilder's side offered AJ a $50m which Joshua rejected. People here are trying to deny that offer was legit but Joshua himself accepted that he was offered but that "all things considered", it wasn't that lucrative. I believe those things involved his contracts, sponsorships, taxes, etc. Wilder as offered a contract by Eddie but it was only for Whyte will Joshua being a possibility, not a certainty. The DAZN offer also had some loopholes that they later accepted was not entirely transparent and no confidence building was done beforehand. AJ lost his next fight so a DAZN contract wouldn't have had Wilder-Joshua but he may have had to wait till a Joshua-Ruiz rematch first. Other than that, they never agreed upon a split to make a direct fight.

Right now too, it was only a Saudi offer that could have potentially landed this fight because if it is up to them, they are not moving forward. Eddie fancies an easier route to take AJ with Otto and Hrgovic and not Wilder. Either fighter having a loss sets them back a year at least. Only a Saudi payday can offset that risk.

We should be grateful it lead to Wilder vs Fury who were really 1 and 2 at heavyweight at the time and lead to an epic trilogy. Once Joshua got stopped by Ruiz his star faded a little and now the Wilder Joshua fight is akin to a couple of gatekeepers clutching at their prime.

Wilder is absolutely right but there is still clowns out there who want to try and rewrite history like it didn’t happen….he called Joshua and Hearns bluff and they had to do damage control and said they already had a fight lined up

[MONGOOSE66]

AJ has his eyes on the BIG MONEY. Thats NOT Wilder. Anyone saying otherwise is ignorant.

Hey Champ. Ensure the water is not spiked this time. Hope you have removed all the snakes from the garden.
