Why didn't Takam have to fight Whyte first to get Joshua?

[ShoulderRoll]

Who cares? Bob, Haymon, Oscar. Point is, a certain undefeated fighter boasted of marinating a big fight for five years and his fans were ok with that. Why all the impatience and double standards now?

If you're referring to Floyd he actually tried to make the fight. It wasn't him who ran away just because of a little random drug testing.

If you're referring to Floyd he actually tried to make the fight. It wasn't him who ran away just because of a little random drug testing.

Actually, it was Floyd who openly admits he "marinated" the fight for five years. That is an admission of ducking if ever there was one. He wants credit for being smart, and his fans bow down and lap it up.

You still haven't answered my original questions. They weren't rhetorical.

Who cares? Bob, Haymon, Oscar.

You're the one that brought up PBC. And it's a fact that Floyd agreed to all terms to make the Pacquiao fight back in 2009, he wasn't the one who balked because he was afraid of needles.

If he had to marinate after that then you can't blame him for being p1ssed.

late replacement and he didn't ask for 40-50%

close thread

What about Jarrell Miller? Or any of these other guys Hearn keeps bringing up instead of Wilder?

What about Jarrell Miller? Or any of these other guys Hearn keeps bringing up instead of Wilder?

None of those guys will ask for nearly half the pot or even close to that. Wilder is the most dangerous opponent, no one goes out of their way to accommodate dangerous foes in negotiations. Wilder has to be VERY realistic if he wants the fight to happen.

he was a late notice replacement for pulev dum dum

[Pretty Toy]

Financially. Around 30-35% is more than fair for Wilder.

Even Hearn has admitted Wilder would deserve more than Parker. The argument is over how much more. 50/50 is not unreasonable given the fight will be in Vegas and most of the money will be American.

[Boksfan]

Wilder can vacate WBC belt and fight his way to be Joshua mandatory but he's scared, won't fight real opponents. Earn your shot at the champion you Alabama fraud

[BodiesInFlight]

You're just gonna encourage them.

Next thing you know these fanboys gonna be saying Wilder need to drop his belt & become #1 contender for one of Joshua's belts if he wants his shot.

You can't argue with fanboys bruh. Joshua fanboys. Wilder fanboys. Anyones fanboys. Its wasted breath.

Granted it can be fun at times, but you can't get all serious with them cuz they aren't logical mfers who you can win an argument with cuz they'll shift & twist logic & facts like a professional liar.

You're talking about AJ and Wilder fanboys to one of the biggest Wilder fanboys on NSB

[soul_survivor]

You do realise AJ was supposed to fight Pulev, a fight building since before AJ fought Wlad. Pulev himself is the second or 3rd most well established heavyweight out there and would have been a terrific challenge but he got injured and had to pull out. AJ/Hearn and co did not want to waste the date so set up a fight against the next best name available on such short notice. That was Carlos Takam.
