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

[juggernaut666]

If one of them beats AJ maybe he will make Wilder a fair offer to fight.

True 25 million for 2 fights compared to Wilders 1.5 Million a fight isnt enough .

Wilder could hold out for 50 Million and make Joshua take 27 Million like the current deal which makes him 7 Million more than what he averages . ....


Sqeeze the life out of ducker AJ , and hope he loses to get this fight going , for sure !

Wilder desperately needs AJ but AJ has many good alternatives. Wilder is unknown even in the US why should AJ pay him a huge purse?

[DadeCounty305]

If the fighters' purse is projected at 50 million, then the fight grosses AT LEAST 100 million.

12.5 "take it or leave it," isn't a bad offer for a 50 take? I'll let you do the math on that, percentage-wise, and let's see if you come to that same conclusion.

Let's be real here. 12.5 is bs and anyone with a brain knows it. That flat bs is a way to negotiate yourself out of a tough fight. 12.5 M... Uncle Sam will take 39% off the top! He have to break off his managers a percentage. Break off his corner. Pay for his camp. Alabama state taxes and those high taxes in England. More than HALF of 12.5 million would be gone. 60/40 percentage is the real deal. All this other bs is straight bs. AJ don't want that smoke from DW. Facts!

Corrections... That 12.5 flat fee is bs. That's negotiating out of a fight.

Well now, this is NOT the correct attitude of a Great Heavyweight Champion.

This is clearly the attitude of a pure Greedy Chickenshlt!

Joshua doesn’t say what is within the title at all. The quotes suggest he is still focused on wanting wilder deal, and hopefully they can push wba mandatory back. No idea where Miller came into conversation but realistically with WBA position he isn’t in the running anyway.

Having said about wilder they only have about twenty more days so longer it goes the more likely he will have to face povetkin first

these god damn popularity contests have to stop. Its a fight and there are two fighters, 50 50 down the middle is fair, fuc who has more fans

I'm a Wilder fan. but I understand that both Joshua and Wilder are blocking the fight ... Joshua must pay Poventkin to step aside, go to New York and beat Miller ... Hearn must offer those same 12.5 million to Wilder to take him to the UK to face Whyte ... then both of them winning and having made more base in each other's country, then 60% -40% can be negotiated in favor of Joshua, in Wembley ... and the rematch with invested percentages if Wilder wins, and in Las Vegas ... they could make more than 100 million for each one by adding both fights .....

Senseless post... Heard should give Wilder 12.5 million to fight Whyte... Rubbish

So the guy is talking about fighting Miller or Povetkin before receiving the counter offer? If anyone wondered why there wasn't a date or venue now you know.

Hearn will put off the Wilder fight until he is absolutely sure the financial potential of Joshua is maximized.

Come on now let's be real here.

Standard negotiating whilst negotiating a deal is to put a different deal in place with the competition to drive up or down the price. This is nothing more than a reminder/threat that Joshua doesn't need the fight and that he has got other options if Wilder will not bend to his will.

That's all this is.

Yeh that's so not true.

By your count if we order a pie but I pay 85% of it and you pay 15% then we should both get half... after all there are 2 of us to eat said pie.

A fight with Povetkin makes more sense.
