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

[chicken-]

We were denied a rematch between Roy Jones Jr. and Bernard Hopkins in their primes because Hopkins was too stubborn to accept 60/40 even though RJ was pound for pound king.

Now somehow it's ok what amounts to probably less than 20% even though they just paid Parker a higher percentage than that?

Joshua is becoming the biggest phony in boxing, talks all this nonsense about wanting all the belts and then holds up the fight being a greedy turd. 60/40 is fair, Joshua fans need to stop defending this bs.

If I were Hearn and AJ I certainly wouldn't put Joshua in the ring with Wilder just yet.

I think Wilder is a dangerous and unpredictable approach. He would trouble Joshua with his awkwardness and unpredictable style.

[Straightener]

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.

Miller wants the fight and will take a smaller cut for the chance to win the belts I’m guessing

There’s not enough hungry guys in the division right now . Everyone is out with their begging bowl for the retirement cheque

Wilder should have just taken the 12 mil and if he won then he could start calling the shots . Breezeele will be next for wilder you can guarantee

Povetkin is actually a better fighter than Wilder. He shook though right?

Hearn already said Parker didn't make $13 million. He made less than half of that.

Wilder getting offered $12-12.5 million is a reasonable offer. This isn't a $100 million fight, and if it is, AJ already said he'd accept 50/50 if team Wilder threw them $50 million.

We all knew this would happen!

Give out sh!+bag offers at this level that they know Team Wilder won't take and then turn around and claim Wilder doesn't want the fight!

The counter offer Finkel is making is gonna get turned down, these cats don't want it with the Bronze Bomber!

Listen to what AJ says, he such an airhead that he tells on himself without knowing!

He says, "if they're serious" the fight will happen and they step up but Wilder did and has and now it's an issue!

He states" they got nothing to lose so its easier" like the same can't be said for himself!

He knows and Hearns knows they have EVERYthing to lose against Wilder so why fight him now when they can fight others for still a lot of money!

Not rocket science, AJ can keep making videos to try and change the narrative but REAL BOXING FANS can see thru him! Wilder ain't a safe fight!

Well, let's see you offer both PEDvetkin and Fat Bastard Miller a flat fee instead of percentage!

I want to this, pay Miller 400k or 700k flat fee and negotiate a flat fee with PEDvetkin of 1 mill or 3 mill and lets see what happens!

Don't ever put this man in the same sentence as past heavyweight champions

[thack]

Does Wilder realise the offer is 12 million and not 12 grand?
Never mind what A.J. might make think about it realistically A.J. has made his financial mark earning around 15-20 million a fight as a popular mainstream name in his own country .Wilder is virtually unknown in his own country making 1-2.5 million and people are saying A.J. is running scared ......get a grip.

They fight for purses not handbags.

MFKers don't reason well enough, 4(3)belt to Wilders 1. No one tries this with Mayweather. AJ has to master the act of A-class status. Tell me how bomber is worth more than $12.5M in this fight when he never tasted $6m/fight before now. Trust me Wilder is scared of loosing as well. He want maximum reward ever for loosing IMO

[skinnystev]

fast eddie & the underwearsalesman will do anything to avoid birdlegs don't matter though the GYPSY KING KO;s them both

[AussieStu]

I don't get why people are getting so worked up about two dangerous and flawed world champions not rushing to clash .. boxing history is littered with this. Ali was fighting some average boxers in between those big fights against Frazier, Foreman, Norton, Liston, etc.. but he did take those fights and this fight will happen sooner rather than later.
It's not like Joshua has been ducking important fight either. He has made an effort to unify, with 3 of his 6 world title bouts being for new belts (eg. Martin, Vlad and Parker) in only 21 fights overall.
What has Wilder being doing in his 8 world title bouts, he's made no effort to unify, in 40 fights overall? Why didn't he try to fight Vlad?
Don't get me wrong though, I think Wilder has shown improvement in his last two fights and Joshua knows this and probably would like another fight or two to improve, but I also don't doubt that he'd be willing to fight him next if it could be arranged.
