Nice. Thanks for your opinion.BOTH sides want the fight, its just a question of WHEN they want it, and if it makes sense to do it next. It usually comes down to who can hold out longer, and based on attendance numbers, I suspect AJ can hold out longer. He can sell 50,000 tickets in the UK fighting the Fedex guy. He doesnt really "need" Wilder. But its a huge fight, with huge money, and Im sure they want it.
Both sides are posturing at this point, and having a "who has the biggest ****" contest. Fights of this magnitude NEVER get made on twitter, or in the media. They get made when both parties get serious about getting it done. Based on what I've been reading the past few weeks, I dont think either side is REALLY focused on getting it done next. If they were actually serious, we wouldnt be hearing all this nonsense.......
Edit: the one thing that is interesting to me in all this is hearing Shelly Finkel talking some smack. Ive known Shelly since back before Lacy even turned pro, and he hardly ever says a word to the media. He's like the Wizard of Oz, just the cat behind the curtain making things happen. So its interesting to see him taking a more public position here......Comment

To be fair, the way it is normally done is out the window when $50 million offer is produced.
There is credible. And there is incredible.Comment
