Anthony Joshua ”80-20 Split For Me Against Deontay Wilder Or NO FIGHT!!”

[Curt Henning]

nah...if AJ said this the fans would be like "ya he right..deontay its on u though"

just STFU and tell hearn to actually want this fight instead of pretending to and running his lips ala bob arum

Exactly what we were saying when AJ was supposedly ducking

Now that Wilder is being ridiculous it’s time for calmer heads, it’s all part of the negotiation process.... when the negotiation hurdles were highlighted while Wilder was screaming that Joshua was ducking, it was all accounting and fear of AJ losing.

So it’s Hearns fault that Wilder actually said he wants 50-50 or no fight??

The thing is when Joshua takes Parker’s belt, Wilder will be even closer to 80-20.

We wont be seeing this fight until summer 2019 either way cos wilder wants too big a pay day and hearn not risking his fighter getting ktfo by the windmill he needs joshuas 0 intact for the Fury fight which will make more money

It doesn't matter what split wilder wants he is hearns 3rd or 4th choice to fight joshua

EGO boxing has more than 100k subscribers.. In his video he says that this is a “Good Business Move By Wilder” and that its smart negotiation.. WTF.. Since when is it good business to price yourself out? If you want something you don’t price yourself out, you ask for something reasonable so they give the fight to you!

EGO made another video on Oct 28th when Hearn said Wilder would not get 50-50. In that video he roasts AJ and Hearn because he said they’re making it obvious they don’t want the fight.. Why isn’t it a negotiation tactic when Hearn says no to a 50-50??? But when Wilder says it ohh he’s a smart man.. see the hypocrisy?? There were loads of Wilder fan girls in the comment section of that video saying AJ is a duck.

Nah man EGO took a huge L on that video, the vast majority of comments called him out for his blatant bias. The Wilder fan girls were vastly outnumbered. That video made me lose a ton of respect for EGO, he’s just another pro-USA guy it seems. I always felt his views on anything AJ-Wilder were skewed but that video took the flipping cake.

Agreed. Fans always lack consistency when judging situations like this. When Joshua said he didnt want the fight till 2019 we said it was a negotiation tactic ('i dont really need the fight, could take it or leave it, dont need to pay you loads of money to make it' type thing), and now Wilder says he wants 50/50 we are just gonna take him at face value?

For the record this is what I said in the article thread:

I find it hard to believe this isnt just a negotiating position.

Wilder isnt getting 50/50. We know it, he knows it, his team know it and Hearn/AJ definitely know it.

Fight will get made around 35/75 or 40/60 kinda range. That would be generous to Wilder, but he does have leverage with his belt and fans do seem to be taking more of an interest in this fight over the Parker one. The more dangerous the opponent is perceived to be the more people are gonna pay for a Joshua fight, whether or not the opponent brings his own fans.

Hearn would never agree to that, nor should he.

Let's say AJ vs Wilder gets done at 60/40 (which is likely the range it gets done at), there's no way Wilder gets 60% in the rematch if he wins. The best he could hope for in the rematch clause if he wins is 50/50.

There is no way the fight gets done at 60/40 either. Why would Hearn be bothered about terms of a rematch when he knows AJ will smash him and there won't be a rematch?

For the record this is what I said in the article thread:

Big difference is Deontay was crying on instagram because he thought Joshua didn't want the fight. Now Joshua has said OK, lets see if you're for real, Deontay now putting this 50/50 roadblock up.

Or, they started negotiating and Wilder is trying to maximise his earnings?

For the record this is what I said in the article thread:

That had nothing to do with negotiation tactics making the fight in 2019. Joshua doesnt want to clean out the division before his 22nd fight . He wanted Wilder last to not only make a bigger fight but to stretch out his career for obvious reasons .

Theres plenty of guys after Wilder but this fight really should be taking place in 2019 if fans were honest about it and let both Wilder and Joshua clean out the division even though Joshuas the only one doing the cleaning.


Joshua became the champion in 2017 , Wilder ran his mouth forced AJ's hand into rushing the fight , simple as that . Thats a sign that Wilder is afraid he himself would lose before the fight gets made not vice versa . What Wilder is doing is pure ******ity now after being the social media king and is not remotley compared to what Joshua was suggesting of being rushed into fights just bc he defeated Klitchko .

I really hope the fight happens in 2018 the sooner the better so he and his fanbase ALL over will take a huge atomic bomb like hit ,! lol
