Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Won't Attend Anthony Joshua-Joseph Parker

Go the Parker route and put him on show until you get the fight

Eddie Hearn is doing an Bob Arum here this fight is not going to get any bigger

Fkkin A. They're taking money out of everyone's pocket because they have some illusion about how they can maximize it. Good businessmen don't look a gift horse in the mouth, they take good money that's right in front of them.

I'd be surprised if Wilder didn't come to the UK for Joshua/Wilder. Makes no sense not too.

Hearn is just pouncing on the rumour and using it to build Joshua/Wilder, get's everyone talking about the fight, which of course is his job to do.

Some typical boxing bull**** here i really don't think this fight will ever happen.

It’s DEFINITELY going to happen so long as they’ve both still got belts, they’re just going to wait to increase the rivalry, the suspense, and the hype. Neither one wants to lose what they’ve got right now so they’re not in a big hurry to do it. If they wait they can each make more money in the lead-up and from the fight itself.

Obviously as fans we want to see them fight but from a business standpoint waiting (probably until 2019) is the smartest move.

I would agree with you, but Wilder is pretty well known as the threat to Joshua in the UK. If you look at British publications, they write about Wilder more than US publications do. Even if you see the tape from the Browne fight, when Wilder's name was mentioned, the crowd erupted. They know who he is.

Okay. Did not know that, but it sounds about right. Boxing is HUGE over there now, so that they would know who Wilder is should not be a surprise to me.

I still think it would be a really great opportunity for him to go and do that pay per view, but if he gets nothing out of it but Whyte in his face when he wants Joshua next, I get it.

Wilders done a good job convincing a lot of you he wants this fight. Take your chance and go.

[Bronx2245]

Smart move! No need to be there, looking thirsty as ****! Just keep winning and let HIS fans start asking HIM to fight you! Wilder needs to look more like a champion, and less like a beggar! NOW when Whyte comes to the U.S., MURDA DA BOMBACLOT!

He was going to work for Sky Sports you tard. He'd be talking on the PPV. A great chance to call out Joshua on air to all Joshua's fans.

you know Wilder been calling AJ out, on tv and in the media...this ppv wont make much difference, everyone in attendance and watching will know Joshua vs Wilder is the fight 90% of fans want.

Security

If he doesn't go, i won't be mad. But if he does go i'd like to see him completely ignore Whyte and stunt on him like he's not even there and then rush the ring like he does his opponents when he has them hurt...LOL AJ ALL HYPE BUT DON'T LIKE THE HYPE

[lopetego]

Wilder is a fraud

he reminds me of Mayweather during those years when he was ducking the Pacquiao fight like a *****

his unrealistic 50/50 demand reminds me of Floyd's flat fee proposal, just bs that he knows is unnaceptable, just smoke and mirrors

he doesn't want the fight right now, but he sure as hell wants you to believe he does
