    Why should fans care about why fights get made or don't? That's what you're basically asking.

    I'm pretty sure you've discussed it plenty of times in the past.

    But now you change your tune because the guy you support is the Z side.

      strange you take that position now....before when it was floyd you used to bring up splits and a-side all the time to explain why fights werent happening. you didnt even understand or believe in what you were saying of course since you thought pac was ducking for not taking a 40 milion flat offer for a reported 400 million fight when he was almost the same draw as floyd but hey you tried....now you dont care because if you did care you would see wilder is ten times less popular and generates ten times less revenue but will amost certainly want a lot more than ten percent....ignore that though JUST MAKE THE FIGHT JOSHUA!!! take a bad deal to please larry otherwise you are ducking just like pac was ducking for not taking a bad deal. you dont want to pay attention to splits because if the fight doesnt happen you want to run and say joshua ducked out of ignorance

        Corporations use Twitter stats to gauge popularity and market trends, it's becoming increasingly "popular" these days.

          I never cared about splits and what fighters make, you got me mixed up with someone else. Joshuas team needs to sit down with Wilders and make the fight happen

            Joshua 3 world titles.
            Wilder 1 world title.

            Joshua 1.63 Million Twitter Followers.
            Wilder 216 Thousand Twitter Followers.

            Joshua best win Wladimir Klitschko
            Wilder best win Bermane Stiverne? (debatable)

            Joshua last purse: £10 Million ($13.2 Million)
            Wilder last purse: £1.06 Million ($1.4 Million)
            * excluding bonuses / sponsorship

            Joshua highest purse: £15 Million ($19.6 Million)
            Wilder highest purse: £1.06 million ($1.4 Million)
            * excluding bonuses / sponsorship

            Who would you say is the A-side in the negotiations and what would you say the split should be?
            I'm not a faboy for Wilder, I actually dislike him very much.

            Joshua's best win is a shot Vlad who had literally just lost to Tyson Fury so put an * on that name. I do agree that Joshua's track record is better than Wilders though. Neither one of them has fought seasoned TALENT though.

            Joshua has more belts, but look at who he got them from. Vacants and an premature stoppage. He shouldn't have even gotten that title anyway, twas Fury's.

            Twitter dude, really? You've gone from sucking to deepthroating in desperation to please your man lmao.

            Boxers are making more money in the UK, no secret there.

            We get it, Wilder is a BIG RISK and y'all will destory that by any means necessary because UK boxers suck so bad that when you finally get one of your own you're going to clutch it so close to your chest (in your case your tonsils) and never let it go.

            To the delusional psychotic, it validates the UK as being something special when really y'all are are on a crumb-catching level. Always have and always will be.

            Keep your man at home because as soon as his foot leaves the house there are bitter winds out there.

              They’ll negotiate a deal acceptable to both sides. Presuming AJ’s side is willing to even make the fight.

              Will anyone’s enjoyment of the fight really be affected by who makes what?

              Just checked: Canelo has more than twice as many Twitter followers than GGG. So I guess he should make twice as much? Is that really how the OP thinks this works?
              I think that is the point some people are trying to make. Some of the Wilder fans who are making demands about money are the same one spouting the A-side B-side nonsense when Canelo was ducking GGG.

              Personally I think the very notion of A-side/B-side is ****** but boxing is a business and at the end of the day there are too many people financially invested. Never understood why fans got so into the financials though.

                aj is gonna end up fighting wilder in his next 2 fights because of the pressure wilder and in turn, the fans , are putting on him . if it was up to him and his team they would milk it because aj fanboys would allow it

                wilder , on the other hand, is pressing for the fight

                split will be something like 60-40, 55-45 aj

                  This fight only happens when the money is right, no amount of pressure from Wilder gets this fight done, unless he gets backed by the money guys and they put money on the table, the fact that he only brings the WBC belt (No resume of note) to the table makes him unattractive to the other two champions.

                    Nobody is debating who the A-side is in this fight. We all know who the bytch side is though. I get the thirsty British fan. Rarely do they have a fighter worthy of the big stage and they finally have one. And they want to keep him there as long as they can. No one over there wants to see the big black yank go over there and **** their champion.

                      You are right, the guy that ****** Khan's wife is the bigger draw which means he can avoid Wilder
