Comments Thread For: Joshua Admits Miller or Povetkin Are More Likely For Next Fight

[damned1974]

As if it wasn't going to be Miller or Povetkin all along....especially when they have been talking about Miller in the States since AJ's last few fights.

Crazy, they blatantly refuse to fight Wilder in the USA when he is far better and more known than Miller, yet with Miller they have no prob? Why is that?

Why is it that Wilder will not get just as much of a % as Parker? It is common knowledge that this fight will sell more/ do better ratings than the stinkfest that was AJ/Parker.

AJ and his team are gonna let this one stew and boxing fans are tired of this marination process.

We have no way of knowing if that "take it or leave it" thing was true. The guarantee could've been $12.5 million with potential to make up to $20 million. We really don't know. Usually the guarantee is much lower than what guys take home for a successful fight. For that Klitchsko fight both guys took home more than the guaranteed number. So if Wilder was guaranteed $12.5 million but eventually made close to $20 million then that's about right.

The offer was 12.5 million flat fee. It has already been established. I would say that is fine as long as Wilder gets a percentage of the ppv money.

Low ball offer then move on to the next one lol that was the strategy take it or leave it. I believe Wilder could beat AJ and get all the belts if he's willing to sacrifice in pay. Also if Wilder becomes undisputed he can see much bigger pay days. Floyd sacrificed against Oscar so he can bite down and accept it or wait it out. It's whatever Wilder wants I understand both sides. I think he should take it beat AJ then with his personality he should be able to capitalize financially from there. He can grow his brand being an undisputed champ!! I say take it, I'm fine either way it goes.

That's what I'm saying. But where did you see that "flat fee" thing confirmed?

If it was 12.5 w/upside, i don't think we'd be sitting here talking about it. It was 12.5 flat, which is confirmed by everybody except Eddie Perm.

Again, i will ask. If they thought the fight would do less than stellar numbers, why offer 12.5, instead of a % split and let wilder earn what the fight earns?

Do AJ and Joshua seem like the types to just throw away money?

Come on man, a lot of your posts are so on point, don't fall for that garbage. Place blame on those who deserve it.

Hell, I want to see the fight also, but you can't tell everybody you're serious about making it, then offer the guy less of a split than you gave Parker.

They offered Wilder the same deal a mandatory would command....

I'm gonna laugh if bodybuilder AJ gets KTFO by Fat Baby or PEDvetkin and the Wilder payday gets flushed down the toliet.

Will be Wilders own fault, 40 fights! 40 FRICKIN FIGHTS! and he's beggin for more money from the boss. 21 Fights and AJ running the game, how does that happen? Can't blame AJ for that.

[Nomadic]

we all knew this... to be honest AJ needs another fight against a big puncher before he fights wilder, hes technically better than WILDER but looking at his fights his not ready for the akwardness n power wilder brings. some may take it as an insult but its just true and AJ and Hearn know this, the issue is how hearn is able to throw all this Bullsht out there and the fans eat it up and defend it even when its blatantly a lie. Wilder is not the perfect fighter and we his fans know this, but if AJ fights wilder anything like hes looked in his past 2 fights its going to be lights out at any moment after round 5 if AJ doesnt KO him. If I was hearn i would fight PEDvtkin as a test then wilder I just wouldnt bullsht the fans and lie as he is doing. stop with the lies we arent ******

Thanks for saving me from posting. I won't even mention that Duck from across the pond.

Disappointing if Wilder keeps ducking that payday that's 6X his highest but Povetkin is a better fighter albeit a less significant fight.

Come on Wilder. Back up your "it's not about the money" claims and sign.
