Comments Thread For: Joshua Warns Wilder: Be Realistic or We'll Freeze You Out

[Sickmerch1990]

If you think he's not "WORTH" that type of money then youre a fangirl of the highest caliber! If AJ wins the 1st match then all bets are off! But if Wilder wins and gives AJ a chance to redeem himself - how is Wilder not now "worth" MORE after beating the CHAMP that holds THREE belts!? C'mon man, don't let the muscles & smiling turn you into a dense pumkin! Wilder has worked JUST AS HARD as AJ and desrves JUST AS MUCH! Don't let popularity be the deciding factor.

wether i think he should or should not get a 50% dosent matter even if aj loses hes stil gona bring all the revenue for the rematch wilder just isnt a draw ppl dont pay money to see him its like asking aj for a hand out a favor even he gets 40% in both fights be more than he makes for his whole career and furture fights
He needs to snap up thwt deal before he goes back of the que and some one like fury beats aj then his ego cost him 40m

Pulev but for injury and now facing unbeaten world champ parker kids going for it like no other wilder by xmas be another ko on ajs record

I think public pressure needs to be put on Joshua and Hearn otherwise their greed will indeed lead to them freezing Wilder out.

This is the fight we want next and there is plenty of money available for them to share.

Why should I trust you? Lol I'll stick with the reporters on this one buddy. Fyi they'll release the financials post fight too. They always do for the big fights over there.

Lmfao these AJ fans pretending like they've got more inside scoop than actual reporters. "Trust me" lmao

I hope Wilder gets the opportunity to put one of them Alabama right hands on the side of Joshua’s skull.

That's the thing though, even though AJ's stock has plummeted in my eyes and many other boxing fans, thanks to his and Hearn's obvious effort to dodge the fight that fans want next, Hearn knows that he's got more than enough fanboys who will gobble up any BS excuse he feeds them, you can see that happening on this very forum, you've got guys on here adopting the same language that promoters use when trying to evade a risky matchup. Additionally, the casual fans and normies who only watch one or two fights a year tops and don't read the vast majority of the boxing news headlines don't know any better and will gladly buy tickets and PPVs no matter who Joshua's fighting.

I feel like if Wilder wants this fight he's got to work hard, basically harangue Joshua wherever he goes similar to Ali goading Liston into the fight, or Shannon Briggs harassing Klitschko, basically make a spectacle out of himself to make casuals and normies take notice - that's the only way to guarantee the public pressure that you say needs to be applied. It helps that Wilder's scored two eye-catching knockouts back to back, good social media material. Hearn knows this as well, which is why his language in the media is calculated to make Wilder seem like lesser presence, and why he made the calculated choice not to allow Wilder into the ring at the end of the Parker fight in order to lessen his visibility to the casuals - out of sight, out of mind.

I just hope that enough pressure does build up on Joshua and Hearn so that he won't be able to finesse his way out of the fight. I hope Wilder / Joshua doesn't become the next Mayweather / Pacquiao.

James Toney called out Eubank and Benn live on ITV and the Brit public were like "who's this guy". They don't look past their merry little island.

Wilder and AJ fans seriously need to stop reading so much into these comments.

When Wilder came out and said "50/50 or no fight" all the AJ fanboys were saying
'Wilder's scared, he's pricing himself out'
and Wilder fanboys were saying
'he's just negotiating, he's just negotiating'

Now AJ has said this (and based on past comments as well) all the Wilder fanboys will be saying
"AJ and Hearn so scared of Wilder it's crazy."

It's actually tedious af. Both sides are going to be involved in negotiations, so neither side wants to give too much away. The fight will happen. There's too much at stake for it not to. If it doesn't happen then we can go crazy then and talk about who's the ducking b*tch, but right now it's just tedious ****

you make sense, it's just these annoying fans on both ways trying to point score

[Ajvar]

Oh wilder said... Wilder hasn't offered AJ a fight. Why not? Why isn't he getting on the phone to Hearn to talk about an actual fight?

He is not a promoter who would have enough money to negotiate.
