can we start calling AJ anthony chickenson yet?

[Curt Henning]

because that is how Joshua has always been. He isnt bothered about that stuff. If you are gonna fight you are gonna fight in the ring and get paid for it.

Look at him here with Whyte, bearing in mind Whyte is the only fighter Ive seen get under his skin come fight night...



This isnt some dramatic change in personality from Joshua. He doesnt need fake hype to sell his fights and he knows it.

gimme a break with all this "AJ is just too cool of a customer to care about hype and all that"

hearn is out here saying nobody know who wilder is....hasnt he? of course he has...thats one of his angles to duck the fight..."no one knows wilder...he needs to build his profile"

so heres wilder....wanting to go over there and call AJ out and these guys are like "nah we dont need that BS...thats not AJ style man"

gimme a break...anyone can see whats going on...they plan to duck and dont want the public pressure wilder will put on them

we saw canelo get called a chicken for the same game AJ is trying to play now

I just dont get your argument here. This only makes sense if Joshua has ducked Wilder, which any sensible boxing fan knows he hasnt so far. Whether they face off or not makes no difference until we actually see what happens. If Wilder jumps in the ring whooping and hollering, then sticks to his 50/50 demand, who is the one ducking? Not saying that is what he will do, but its just an example.

Their (both teams) intentions will become clear after the Parker fight when hopefully negotiations restart with Wilder and his team in a more malleable position.

Wilders people have already said they are NOT looking for 50/50 and even Wilder has said so.And just like Parker saying 40-50% is just negotiating.Like when you buy a car if dealer takes your 1st offer then you ***ed up.

same group of AJ joyboys out here...and i just keep landing bomb right hands on em with the truth

It was a hypothetical. I even wrote that in my post.

shelly "winkle" or whatever hearn trying to call him "we dont care about a percentage....we care about a bottom line number/ figure...if thats good than we dont care about what the percentage of split is"

its been posted around here many times....but these clowns keep coming up with "50/50" excuses....and not realizing hearn wont even talk numbers with wilders people lol

Well its Joshua saying he isnt bothered about a post fight face off, all Hearn has done is support AJ's position (which is natural bearing in mind he is Joshua's promoter and Joshua is way too big for Hearn to be going against him).

Hearn would love a WWE style clash, its basically his MO over here to promote that kind of fight.

My bad then

[RussB23]

im well aware about what happened both times regarding canelo/khan and canelo/chavez in regards to golovkin

point is...when golovkin got in there it didnt do anything to ruin the fight....all it did was help build a buzz

how do you expect them to have a contract when hearn wont even talk about a fight with wilder now? he keeps talkign about everything else...fury, miller, USA and even whyte...lolol

theres no harm in wilder getting in there...if you arent afraid of wilder getting in there and planning on ducking....then there is no reason to even make a statement regarding wilder getting into the ring

if wilder does i bet theyll cut off the mic...its obvious, by their statement, they plan on putting this fight off and dont want the public pressure to mount by having wilder get in there and make a scene...otherwise theres no reason to mention it

hearn wont even talk about a fight with wilder now yet somehow they wanna hammer out a deal in the next 2 weeks lol?

I see what you mean, personally i would like to see Wilder get in the ring and so they can talk **** to each other. But Aj doesnt really talk ****, i think he is just trying to remain professional and doesnt want to do anything before the fight is official. I doubt hes seriously shook or anything.

What he said got blown way out of proportion and Wilder is probably going to get in the ring anyway.

i dont think AJ is shook either

but i dont think hearn is keen on making the fight...and i think they know they plan on trying to make other fights first....

im willing to admit i could be very wrong...and i hope i am....

but to make the statement in the first place sure seems like dont want wilder in that ring

Don't know why these ****** fans of Beyontay
think he deserves 50/50?
That just means to me he's the chicken.
"I might lose doe. Might as well demand huge sums of money for my retirement."
It's no different from an average person saying, "I'll fight a pro boxer if you give me $1 mil."
Kills me.
Brave people don't demand huge sums of money they don't deserve.
