Comments Thread For: Joshua Warns That Wilder Will Have To Bend on His Demands

[Ham Porter]

On point, well said and to the heart of the matter!! Its amazing how these guys (Team Hearn) get away with whatever they want and say whatever they want......all under the guise of being "fair" and the "A side."......but there's no hiding the fact: Team Hearn is apprehensive about getting in the ring with Wilder!....Barry Hearn politely admitted that on youtube since 2014.....and actually there is no shame in that "back then", but the "duck" (his words) can't last forever, especially having 4 belts now!

The coddling from Hearn must STOP NOW, AJs not a kid anymore, especially since he believes he "deserves" a museum in his honor & glory - Team Hearn did market him well, but now he has to be a bit more real of a person with real courage and FACE HIS FEARS!! .....Rubber "duck"ies will be left all over and throughout the museums compound and the word "DUCK" in vandalized red will be spray painted all over the ouside of the building - thats if he doesnt fight Wilder or fight him in his prime.....security cameras can help deter the museum fiasco though...

You spastics are hilarious. Joshua's been a pro a little over four years, just had his second unification in a little under a year, yet he's the one being coddled? Not the guy who spent over thirty fights knocking over tin cans and three years as a champion before fighting a legitimate contender?

Whatever YOU (juicemans team) offer as a "fair deal", You also accept that "fair deal" in the rematch. Obviously Hearn doesn't think his offer is a "fair deal", because he wouldn't accept the same for his fighter (in question). And It wont be fair, because wilder will have all of the belts, so then it should be lower.
AJ "The Juiceman" is hiding behind Hearn, maybe the brits dont know any better, about Promoters tricks, they're behind, so hearn is using that to his advantage, they are suckers.
50/50 they have to come down off of this
Wilder: OK
AJ i have to be A-side
Wilder: OK
AJ: we have to fight in my backyard
Wilder: OK
AJ: you have to fight my bodyguard (whyte)
Wilder: OK

Somehow the brits consider this "ducking".....Their boxing community is behind, and this proves it.

They RAN from the US 1776
They RAN from Europe Brexit
SO RUNNING FROM A FIGHT IS ALL THEY KNOW Juiceman 2018
Its in their blood
Its in his blood
Whyte said "AJ wants him to beat wilder" so he can face a guy he already KO'd for the belt
The juiceman doesnt want to face wilder, he prefers whyte to fight him for him.

I don't believe Joshua is afraid of Wilder even though I think Wilder is the only credible challenge for him out there. I think as long as british fans will pay top dollar and fill stadiums to watch Joshua fight tomato cans why should he risk losing his gravy train. Remember, it's ALWAYS about the money

On your knees Wilder, beg for it boy

Didn't you agree with Wilder's proposition on camera about him taking whatever you offer but if he wins then in a rematch you have to take the same percentage he took!?

I think a lot of us like this idea just through its logic and fairness.

Trouble is, like Canelo/Golovkin, Joshua (Canelo) remains the A side even if he loses as he continues to have the bigger earning power.

Much would depend on how the fight played out of course. If Wilder dominated Joshua for 5 rounds, putting him down multiple times then sparking him out in the 6th (for example), then the balance of power shifts to Wilder having more of a say (and likely no rematch anyway). If its a SD type of affair, Joshua likely remains the A side.

Can't remember who it was, but the B side was offered terms of a 55% split in the rematch, and that sort of arrangement is more likely.

I hate to say it but with wilder only having one belt and Joshua all of the other belts and Joshua is a much bigger draw, wilder will have to settle for less than 50/50 and fight Joshua in his back yard.

I think this accurately states where we are. Its not ALWAYS about the money, but the money plays a huge part here. I think most agree Wilder is the biggest risk to the Joshua gravy train getting derailed, and talk of 'who is afraid of who' is all irrelevant - no-one is scared of anyone, but Hearn will be advising Joshua that the risk of the train getting derailed by Wilder doesn't have to be taken right now.

Joshua is still learning too, so Hearn will be leveraging off of that in Joshua's head - to have a couple more 'warm-up' fights and get closer to the finished article before taking on all-comers (basically Wilder) and putting his legacy on the line.

For sure, in a couple of years time Joshua will be the finished article and be taking on whoever qualifies to get in the ring with him (like Wlad did). But for now, expect some 'careful management'.

It is what it is.

Dont care what anyone says joshua will destroy wilder like charles martin be an easy fight joshua is levels above

[Travycat]

Foreman and Tyson keep saying they'd both make more in Vegas than an 80k soccer stadium, so I have no clue how that would work out.

You need to do your homework..... Hearn is giving these guys the run-a-round and has BEEN giving them the ducking runaround for TWO years now....Wilder is a much better known fighter than Parker, yet Parker got a deal Wilder would GLADLY take!.... "Single belt"(?!) single belt means NOTHING and has NOTHING to do with anything, if Wilder had NO belt Hearn would still be apprehensive to sign a contract, because Wilder is DANGEROUS. The belt, believe it or not is the only reason AJ is FORCED to pay attention to Wilder, the FANS see to it by pressuring Team Hearn to "make the fight"......we'll see if he caves in this time or gives one of his patented excuses.....you'll see Lalig....(your name is too long)

Mayweather initially got his opportunity to make big money against Oscar, who's to say Wilder cant follow in his footsteps - HE has to "believe"....Team Hearn has pure excuses, they want to keep a safe steady hand on monopolizing british boxing AND its money....Wilder stands in the way of that with one beautifully timed punch. Mayweather never had to deal with an overseas diva that had no intention of coming to America with no INTENTION of EVER bringing up or mentioning his NAME (Only when asked) ....OR even sign a contract (ONLY when asked!).......I could go on & on.....u have a good night, I'm out.....

Floyd B side never gave him this kind of problem aside pac man cos they respect their positions as the B side.
As far as am concern, let team wilder do the paper work instead of making so much noise in the media.
Medias/noise don't make fights, promoters do.
