Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: Anthony Joshua is a Joke, He's Scared

[FLY TY]

Call him out on the deal specifically and say you'll accept if the rematch is the other way round in the split. You have to power to knock him out, take the deal and call their bluff. You'll make a whack ton of money win, lose or draw in the rematch.

He's already said he'd take whatever they offered, if the terms were reversed in the rematch. There's no need to keep repeating that.

Both guys are scared to lose there 0 and using $ as the problem two worst he champs in boxing history !! Hope they both lose in the next year !!

Didn't he say this after the Ortiz fight? Why is this posted like it was said after the recent offer?

I want to believe they will negotiate in good faith and get it done but I'm starting to have my doubts with Wilder. That's a good point about him saying the fight won't happen as in having a built in excuse and some morons will buy into him being ducked. It's like Mikey Garcia does and Adonis Stevenson does. They mention these names but run with the "He won't fight me. They are scared" angle. All those guys are advised by who?

Rigo was doing the same thing until it backfired and realized he could no longer even make $100k for a fight so had to come back cap in hand and take almost half of what he'd previously rejected.

yeah, people should be able to read between the lines. although i think some posters will choose not to.

There could be a thread of truth in this.

Joshua and Hearn are VERY protective of the undefeated record, they know this is how boxing makes huge amounts in the modern era. Wilder could put a defeat on Joshua's resume thus killing the cash cow that Eddie Hearn has so carefully cultivated.

Joshua has looked very limited in his last 2 fights, whereas Wilder has improved.

The bodybuilding robot vs the windmilling basketball player...who wants to step up first?

Its actually the reverse there is a saying "The Brits love a plucky loser" and its very true 9if he loses he'll still fill Wemberly and Fury Aj still a record crowd) to the Americans the reverse is true hence AJ taking risks so early in his carear and Wilder hiding for fourty fights.

Aj's has just won three of the belts in his first 21 fights and his next fight looks like being one of the Ring magazine top two .. whats not to love .. compare that to any other boxer in any other division, Wilder will go back to bum of the week till teh AJ fight comes round.

Of course he's scared he's hiding behind his promoter like a coward. Trying to make a deal where there is no way wilder would except and why would he? What has joshua done to deserve more money? He went life and death against an 41 year old Klitschko..I'm not a big wilder fan either but that guy comes to fight and he's throwing every punch with bad intention you gotta give him credit for that. Joshua couldn't knock out a kiwi amateur in parker and he thinks he can call the shots? Fu** him do your own thing deontay, people know you're the real champ...the only ******s supporting that fraud are his fellow UK folks, the same people who thought that hatton would destroy mayweather

Hatton had Football Hooligans supporting him from Manchester.Hatton didnt even do too bad for someone who had no Amateur/Olympic Pedigree just a Brawler from England and he took on 2 of the Greatest Boxers the World has ever seen....It werent that embrassing...Americans thought Mike Tyson would beat Lennox Lewis...

If all this talk is meant to be hyping the fight it’s doing the opposite for me. I’m sick of both sides talking rubbish, just get the bloody fight made! We all want to see it, they’ll both make a ton of money and whoever loses will probably get a rematch immediately anyway, earning yet another astronomical sum.

[The plunger man]

That's exactly what Wilder should offer to Hearn, Wilder keeps all the US revenue, but we know there's no way Hearn would agree to that. You say AJ isn't in the business to put food in Wilders mouth, well Same applies to Wilder, he shouldn't be giving Aj and Hearn any of the extra revenue generated from fighting him. Showtime will more than likely put in on PPV. Even if sells 300k at $70, thats 21million which Wilder could take home around 9.5 million from that.

Wilder wont because he knows he cannot bank on that because he is relatively unknown in the states so he is pretty much dependent on anthony joshua brimging most of coin in....joshuas earning is guaranteed wilders is potentially...thats the problem my friend and wilders team know this.
Wilder can carry on earning his 1.5 million purses agaist mediocre opponents or he can take his highest purse by far with the prospect of earning even highter amounts in a rematch.

[Ake-Dawg]

No. Actually AJ fans sound just like Clenelo fans did, with the whole "A side", "97k PPV", "lil g never made this much"

You're exactly right. It's interesting how some of them, who argued against those posters in favor of GGG, are now supporting Hearn and Joshua after the flat fee offer.

[Calibaloc]

So I have a simple question. Why would Hearn/Joshua give Parker 35% but then turn around and only give Wilder a flat rate of $12Million if Joshua is not ducking?
