Comments Thread For: DiBella: Wilder-Joshua More Likely For 2019 Than Being Next

[SAINTSTEVE]

I say to have to strike while the iron's hot because there's no guarantee one of them won't take an unexpected loss along the way say for example if Whyte defeats Wilder, then Joshua will have lost the opportunity to make a lot of money on it and also to be the man to tag the first loss onto Wilder's record.

The last thing Wilder said was that he was willing to take what Hearn feels he should get with the exception that if he wins then in the rematch Joshua would take the same cut he took in the first fight.

Eddie has said he agrees to that. But they all have to sit at the negotiating table.

Anyway, I think this fight will happen towards the end of 2018 or beginning of 2019.

No he said 40% and wants 60% in a rematch. Which is ridiculous. Joshua is 10x the draw Wilder is.

[True That]

That doesn't sound too bad to me. Parker is getting like what 37% or 38%

40% sounds good. Wilder is a bigger draw than Parker and the % is not that much greater than Parker's %

If this fight drags on past early 2019 then the appropriate party or parties should be criticized, whether it's team Wilder, team Joshua or both.

Absolutely spot on bro. Today’s fight fans are just different from what I’m used to. They care more about the business than the competition. And it also seems like they’re scared to see their favs lose. It’s almost like they wanna ride the hype train until the wheels fall off. And have very little interest in seeing the hype validated.

I live in Nashville, where boxing isn’t very popular. I attend fights in NYC usually once or twice a year. And when there’s good cards in the Midwest, I shoot up there. But based on where I live, obviously I’ve seen several of Wilder’s fights in person. And an Alabama boxing event brings forth some of the least knowledgeable “fight fans” you can ever be around. Most of the people in those arenas know next to nothing about boxing. But its also refreshing to be around them. Because they genuinely believe in their guy. And wanna see him validate their belief that he’s the best by seeing him fight the best. A far cry from a lot of these so called hardcore fans that wanna see their favs take the path of least resistance to fake greatness. It’s pathetic.

Really good post....

Looks like everyone starting to say the same thing now.

In 2018 the obvious fights will be wilder vs whyte in uk and wilder vs breazeale in US.

Assuming Joshua can beat Parker, he’s likely going to face potvetkin uk and Miller US.

It does setup 2019 nicely to be honest

If those fights all happen there is a good chance Wilder or AJ or both of them will lose a fight before they ever fight each other.

Just so you know except for Joshua Wilder is A side for every other fighter. So he can choose where he fights for any other fighter than Joshua.

How about sense we have to wait until 2019 we have Wilder vs Whyte than Fury, Joshua if beats Parker vs povetkin than Ortiz. I don't care if they lose if they lose they lose I just want to see who is the best no more nonsense.

So what you saying is those people in Alabama watching Wilder fight Molina, Duhaupus, Szpilka, Arreola and Washington, only want to see their guy fight the best. But the people in the UK watching Joshua fight Klitschko and unify with Parker dont

Also how clever they are got nothing to do with it, plenty of ****** ass mutha****as at a Joshua fight. Man, its better for Alabama people to see the fight in the UK anyway. Cheaper to catch a flight, hotel, fight tickets, than it is for Las Vegas tickets only.
