Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder To Anthony Joshua: Give Me The Belts or Fight!

It's not about the fans benefit - it's about the fans not being ******, and understanding that there is a reality in sport and business.

Preaching 50/50 is flat out ******ity, when every man under the sun knows fighter X and fighter Y are worth different amounts.

Don't be an ignorant tool - we all want the best fights, but pretending reality doesn't exist is just dumb.

Well, I'm not either. I don't watch fights where the opponent are hand picked or fights are diverted because the fighter in name price himself out. Definitely not on PPV. Would call you ignorant, but it's obvious you know you are a tool and seem pretty ok with it.

You've ignored over the guts of what I said - clearly you've got not much to come back with.

Money matters when making a fight. It matters to Joshua, it matters to Wilder. Fans with half a brain know this and acknowledge this.

If you've got nothing, move along.

I'm pretty sure I covered it in a few sentences, if you were looking for me to get confrontational over it, sorry. Not the one. This is a boxing forum, nothing else.

Moving along is what I was doing after I answered your insult.

Not sure if it was you or not, but someone on this message board said that Wilder would start talking again once the Joshua-Parker deal was done or close to it...

...and here we are

He talked before the deal, he talked during negotiations, and he talked after the deal, so what the **** are you talking about? He's made it VERY CLEAR he wants smoke with everyone in his division, and of course your dumbass disparages him for it. ****ing fake ass fans

You covered nothing. Bottom line, if you're going to criticize a large chunk of fans for ignorant reasons, you'll get called out for it.

I don't think anything more needs to be said.

why are ppl saying he waited for AJ to have a fight to call him out? Wilder been calling him out forever where df have you been? he always mentions AJ. but ortiz is first priority. when wilder sparks him out they'll just say he was too old.

After the Joseph Parker fight is over I can't imagine that the British fans will be content to keep paying to see Joshua fight bums.

At some point he will have to go see Wilder.

all wilder can muster up is a disinformation campaign to fool the silly little fanboys that follow him. anyone who actually pays attention even just a little knows he wants no part of joshua and he admitted so by demanding 50-50. the words and the call outs are just for the fans to stay interested in him

Classic deontayduckus wilderquackus quacking at very high decibels

I'm happy to see some people in here simply telling it like it is. Wilder was talking before the fights were made. So why are so many posters crying about that?

My only guess is it's due to him asking for a 50/50 split, but the way I've always seen it is like this:

He believes it should be 50/50 because they are both champions. He was champion for longer and has tried to make some step up fights but it hasn't worked out the way fighters kept getting busted for PED's. He's knocked out everyone he has faced. He is recognized as no lower than #2 in the division, and you need someone to tangle with to make the big money. Joshua also has no one worthy enough on his resume to separate it from Wilder's resume except for a Klitschko who was coming off of a loss, forced to be inactive for awhile due to Tyson Fury mind ****ing him in a coked out frenzy, and 41 years old.

I'm not saying that Wilder deserves 50/50, but I'm not going to say he has no right to believe he is worthy of that split. If he demanded that he deserves more than that, then I would definitely agree he's either insane or ducking. In this case, seems AJ's side isn't ready to make the fight now anyway, so there is much more time for some dust to settle and if the right choices are made, soon we'll know if Wilder is worthy of a 50/50 split.
