Comments Thread For: Fury Says Joshua Should Take Wilder Deal, Stop Being Greedy

Will you keep quiet?

Fury need to mind his own business. I think the fight will get made. That being said, AJ don't need to pander to the yanks because most of you have probably decided you won't like him regardless simply because he's not one of your own.

Fury should just stfu and announce his next opponent

Go read the history books to find a HW champion to unify as many titles in 21 fights. You’ll be surprised how few and the names we’re talking about, Ali had one title after 20 fights for e.g. Tyson’s career was on rocket fuel and he took 28 fights, Berbick was no better than Wlad or Parker. What ever way you slice it, he’s on a great trajectory and it sounds like your pinning all your hopes on Wilder...good luck with that

Aj isn't even the best fighter in England. His only legitimate win is against a very young green parker.

You don't become a great by buying belts off Charles Martin and getting awarded Olympic gold medals even though he clearly lost the fight

Coke head Fury got it twisted. It's Wilder who is greedy. Deontay only cares about money, doesn't give a shyt about fans or legacy.

Even the Brits are starting to realize how foolish and scared AJ and Hearn look

I’m surprised in you because you can be level headed usually when I happen to come across your posts. Have you ever boxed? I’m not trying to be funny or disrespectful but if you have you will know there is absolutely nothing to be afraid about. The same goes to Wilder there is nothing for him to fear. It’s when you enter the ring and you feel for yourself that’s when the doubt or fear may enter. Hence you get fighters that promised action but as soon as that first bell goes they are retreating.

There are enough flaws in both fighters for each charge to feel confident so I don’t buy the fear crap. Eddie may feel apprehensive of course but what I will say is that being the A side they will insist on the fight favouring them .i.e venue, promotion etc. The 50 million offer took their bargaining power right out of their hands. In any case the fight will be signed so all this AJ is scared will be put to rest.... You think AJ will be knocked out ? Cool I respect that Deontay has knocked out all his previous opponents you should feel confident in that assertion . However spending 3 months talking about a boxer being scared and then he ultimately signs what then? I have your quotes and many others. You will be hearing from me very shortly when the deal gets done. 😂.

Love to see certain fans sweating, not sure if they should back AJ or Fury. Some have already flip flopped several times.

You sound like a hater although I will acknowledge hearing AJ fans talk about AJ as a living great already can be annoying for a rival fan and even myself who is a diehard AJ fan I have to roll my eyes at that absurdity. Your assessment of Parker there is nothing we can do about that. They are more or less the same age with the similar number of fights. Charles Martin is Charles Matin he was a undefeated champion that has never been floored as a amateur , a professional or even in training. And he walked the earth like a god.

As for the Olympic final I thought Joshua lost that fight too

AJ days are numbered and he knows it.

Everyone's days are numbered. All you can try to do is do the best for yourself as you are counting them down.

So fair play to Joshua & all boxers in getting paid while they still can.

And I don't know that Joshua is being greedy so much here anyway. I think he's naively following Hearn's lead a lil too much with most things still. I think he needs to take the reins & call more of his own shots while letting Hearn freelance his promotion unless he does get some crazy deal by the UFC or someone else.

Also oddly enough Joshua vs Fury could be the real money fight at HW in the next 18-24mos if things go route & this Fury comeback works out. If not Joshua vs Dubois or some other 15 fight or less guy around now trying to make his name still might be the "next big money fight" for Joshua after Wilder.

Hearn questioned whether the undefeated puncher has the claimed funds and said the offer would not be taken seriously before he has seen a contract - but the two sides eventually got together and there was proof presented of the funds

But but it's a PR move doe
Wilder is broke doe
Where the money coming from doe

SMH

And the same posters that were saying these things will not be deterred one bit they will keep believing the money is imaginary.

The issue here is Eddie Hearn doesn't wanna lose control of this event. Accepting the $50 million gives Wilder the right to pick venue and date. Something they already disclosed to the public.

Notice how even when presented with proof of funds they didn't accept. Instead now they got more questions they need answers to. What hapoened to "give me $50 million I'll sign tomorrow"?

Why would any poster believe Al Haymon would be pulling stunts at this stage of his career. That's an OG with decades of experience why would he play himself like that. That offer pimp slapped Eddie Hearn back to his place. Haymon/Finkel reminded Eddie he's a fish amongst great whites.
