[Boksfan]

excuse for what??wilder already said he would fight him in the uk...do you keep up with the news?

I remember him saying he'll fight only in US. He changing his mind a lot?

So tired of you d*#kmunchers talking about A side and B side, this promoter and that manager, will it happen in the UK or US, purse splits etc. Who the f#*$k cares????

There's been more talk about the politics of making the fight than the actual fight itself and the strengths and weaknesses of both fighters.

This is turning into another lame ass Pacman/Mayweather situation between the fans of the fighters. You know, the usual juvenile playground banter and back-and forth arguments with the classic lame ass name- calling/nicknames(Beyonce Wilder,chicken legs,windmill,joshualites).

Its a 50/50 fight and I like both fighters but it's even starting to get old with the fighters themselves. If I come across another headline about Joshua saying "he's in a power position" or he's "the A side" I'm gonna lose my f@$king mind. He's making himself look like a bi&*h because he's sounds more like a promoter than a fighter lately. And if Wilder feels like they're not serious about making the fight then MOVE THE **** ON. There are plenty of other quality/decent heavyweights to fight.

Don't know about you jacka@#es but im not gonna be strung along hanging on to every word spewed by the fighters and their teams in this situation. Not clicking on anymore useless articles. When the fight is signed and they're holding press events then I'll get my hopes up. Until then I'll leave this Mayweather/Pacman 2.0 to you thirsty mofos:****you:

Stay off the forum then Fraud!!

If the offer is anything less than what Parker got then we know AJ is not serious about a fight. A fight in the UK is acceptable provided proper judges are watching the fight...AJ's last few fights have been a bit suspect.

The judging in the Parker fight was dubious at best. Wilder will have to knock him out in his backyard, which is what his plan would be anyways as he doesn't seem to be bothered with winning rounds.

Though I don't mind Wilder fighting in the UK, I just think AJ has really made an emphasis that he refuses to fight in America unlike his other fellow UK fighters of the past....looks kinda b1tchy to me.

I actually prefer the fight to be in the UK better atmosphere than vegas but they will lose American PPV money having a super fight in the afternoon

I was thinking the same thing. As a hardcore fight fan, I don’t care when the fight is, I’ll be watching. But this one will actually crossover and have a lot of mainstream interest. Having it in the afternoon over here in the states is gonna kill a lot of would be PPV revenue.

Yes'sir Mr. Joshua, I hear ya.

Just get the fight done, both parties and everyone will be happy.

OK so officially Wilder is still not willing to travel, let me know when you get any interview with him saying he will.

Lots of trolls here.

But the headline was very misleading. Looking forward to things being solidified soon.

Yup, trolls and people getting into their personal feelings for these fighters and being biased. But what else is new? Lol

[FLY TY]

I see Arum or Nelson read my comment about starting the Loma-Linares fight earlier than the HBO card, and making the damn fight.

Hopefully Hearn or somebody else is paying attention now. 60-40 for AJ in the UK for the first fight...AJ gets a rematch clause for 60-40 Wilder in the States for the second fight.


Simple enough.

[mvooom]

Wilder is more than willing to fight in the UK but it's going to be Povetkin. You can tell in Hearn and Joshua's tone, they are looking for every way to make negotiations with Wilder tough. They don't want this fight anytime soon.

Talking about fighting in the UK, isn't that where the fight should be? Lol.
