Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Joshua is The A-side, Wilder Should Fight Him in UK

[Deus]

i dont think theres anything to "play"

floyd aint saying nothin special...i think we all know wilder is going to have to go over there to make the fight...cause AJ wont leave.....but what wilder also needs is for hearn to want to make the fight and to make him a reasonable offer......wilders 50/50 aint realistic and AJs 80/20 aint either....but you start from 50/50 and work your way down...but hearn has to want to do it and make reasonable offers.....otherwise it aint anything

AJ has never said 80/20... and Hearn has acknowledged that he will have to overpay both Parker and Wilder in order to make the fights (ie. that he is willing to compromise).

The fights going to happen in the US. So Wilder doesn’t have to go to England. Otherwise Wilder would’ve beat up Whyte to boost his profile in England.

i would love to see someone show a definitive argument for why the fight will take place either in the UK or the usa...cause honestly i have no idea where its going to happen....does someone have a definitive argument that can basically guarantee where its going to happen?

cause if its in the USA joshua isnt such an a-side....he would still be the a-side but its not by a wide margin like it would be if its in the UK

the bottom line to me is...if ur an a-side like AJ/canelo/floyd etc....you can make any fight you want if you are reasonable.......so to me its obvious the onus is all on AJ and his people...if they want to make the fight they put up a reasonable offer and its a done deal....thats how easy it works

hearn offered parker 80/20 according to parkers side....but u are right i dont think aj said 80/20 for wilder...someone made a thread quoting it but it was a made up hypothetical scenario and i didnt read it through

like i said though....hearn has to want to make the fight...he obviously doesnt want it now...and he might not even want it next year......and i dont really think i blame him...why put him in next year when he can milk more money on his gravy train before putting him in there with wilder?

any a-side can make any fight if they are reasonable and want it......i just dont really trust hearn or believe what he says....boxing is a funny game...its a game where both sides can make it look like the other guy is ducking when one clearly is

He’s the a side regardless. If it happened in the us it will still be on ppv over here which is where he majority of the money will come from.

yeah i know he is...but if its in the US hes less of an a-side...the gap isnt as big

but as i said before....its up to the a-side to get a fight made...any big a-side can get any fight done by being reasonable and wanting to get it done....thats the factor....guys like floyd/canelo/ AJ etc....everyone wants to fight them....they just have to be willing and reasonable

[RussB23]

Mayweather says Wilder is B side

Says Wilder is B side
Says Aj is being overlooked by Wilder fanboys
Fight should happen in UK

Race rooters will be confused as ****

It’s not really up to the a side when the b side is demanding a 50/50 split or no fight.

If the fight was to happen in America the gap may not be as big but the majority of the money is still coming from the uk ppv market so I don’t know if it changes much.

Oooohhhh this is going to make some posters heads explode.

Making any deal is reliant on both parties being reasonable, irrelevant of A side or B side . Joshua v Wilder not being the next fight is just as much on Wilder as it is Joshua (and vice versa) that’s what so many here fail to grasp.

Joshua fans blame Wilder. Wilder fans Blame Joshua when the reality is both fighters have to take responsibility for the fight not being made yet.

Didnt see this, made thread about it. But lmao the racist wilder fanboys will be shocked when they hear this.
