Comments Thread For: Joshua's Promoter Says Wilder 'Probably' Next, Rejects HBO Talk

[Sickmerch1990]

If aj kos parker then wilder then end of year knocks out fury too hes got no top heavys left but his legacy as the best of his era complete 23 fights in with all knock outs biggest earner in the sport aswell thats some doing that

I read this as: ‘we’re interested in negotiating a big multi fight deal with HBO, we can’t say that cos then they’ll screw us down on the money. I can say what I want about next opponents, cos once the deals done HBO will work with us on opponents and we’ll just blame them if it’s not Wilder’

Don't think it's gonna happen.a.j will take a dive 2 avoid wilder 2 age him more an do a rematch with parker

[LacedUp]

wait.. this isn't supposed to happen.

Wilder fanboys told me AJ was scared

He deserves praise for taking the most lucrative fight available, which also happens to be for the last remaining belt to become undisputed HW champion of the world?





He should be ridiculed for considering anything else.

Ridicule him all you want, but Hearn is one of the best promoters in the world and he knows the smart business move is to fight a Jarrell Miller, or a Povetkin mandatory, get a couple more big paydays under you belt, let AJ develop a little more, let Wilder age a little more, then you cash out with the biggest fight, with a rematch clause, so at worst you've got four big paydays left, and likely five or more as Wilder is unlikely to go 2 for 2 against AJ.

Eddie doesn't say this with any conviction. I don't think AJ is ducking, but Hearn don't want this fight.

Hopefully that puts everything to bed...there are a lot of 'fans' on here that were hoping joshua would jump to hbo to avoid the wilder clash..


Then again, hearn is a proven liar, can we believe anything that comes out of his mouth? I'll believe this fight happens when it's singed.

So this is wilders nuthugging fans new narrative when joshua signs to fight beyonce.....But his fans dont want it doe. pathetic.

[bluemax]

Both fighters have flaws. Wilder will never out box Joshua so he needs a knockout to win. Either fighter can knock the other out and I'd be surprised if this went to a decision. I want to see this fight

[Bobby Shaw]

Wilder's already said he'll take w/e cut as long as its reversed in the rematch. Hearn said that works.

Quit trying to go with old news like its current news.

What rematch? The guy fights on free to air because no one pays to watch him fight. What makes him think he can dictate the purse split when he doesn't have anyone paying to watch him fight?

TBH....that's absolutely terrible footwork and boxing by Wilder. However, I do recall him sending that same opponent to the hospital after almost decapitating him later in the fight.

I guess we have this idea of what "looks" like the best, especially when we've had the smaller guys rule boxing over the last 20 years. However, if no other heavyweight can beat Wilder, isn't he the best by default?
