    So when Is Wilder-Joshua happening?

    Considering this is the only HM bought any real fight fan wants to see at this point in the HW division.

    Well, people will cry about ducking in the next few weeks while Joshua is preparing for a unification fight, then after that we will find out more.

    To answer, nobody knows. Hopefully this year. Hopefully next fight.

        When Wilder gets real with his demands. IF Wilder said I'll take 30% of the split I'm sure Eddie would have the contracts sent over by the end of the day.

          Both fighters genuinely want the fight IMO. But it’s clear Eddie Hearn doesn’t want to risk his cash cow yet.

              They have to agree on a money split and right now the two sides are way apart. Wilder demands a 50/50 split and I think team AJ only wants to give Wilder a 75/25 split in AJ's favor .AJ doesn't need Wilder because he makes huge money no matter who he fights. I would love them to fight just like everyone else. Parker could beat AJ and change everything.

                I think its possible it could be next (July/Aug), but logically I feel like boxing promoters like to always push things out. So I feel like 1 more fight, that could even be a double multi-site premium network card in the US + UK, could be the road they wanna take so Oct/Nov to the first quarter of 2019 seems more likely to me.

                And if all or some of these mfers are still f#cking playing then mid to late 2019 is probably the time table. But being HW's I don't have a lot of faith both of these guys will still be undefeated by then. So they won't have maximized their cows milk if thats the case & one or both could have a L by that time so I suspect they'll be smarter then that.

                So I'll go with sometimes between Oct 2018 & Mar 2019 would be the sweet spot as far as promoters will view it.
