    I agree with most of what you said but that would also apply to widler vs joshua tbh thou aj is a star overseas. But I still have yet to see concrete proof of those ppv #’s

          Why wouldn't you push the amounts you can get?

          I mean as a fan its the least sexy thing we talk about here usually + its not like there is much full disclosure on money any damn way, but yea mfers should go get there's.
          I agree you should push it. But if you think a guy is ducking you then get the max you can and then he HAS to fight. If you think you can win then you're in the drivers seat next fight.

            Look Im a Wilder fan, I just used him because of the back and forth drama as of late.

              Wilder is right to ask for what he should be getting paid he has earned it to a degree just like GGG deserves his fair share against Canelo.

                Its not just about beating the guy, its about getting paid your value for beating the guy. Its already a thing where a boxer is taking less money when he first signs with a promoter &other situations. You gotta make good money decisions too & sometimes that means passing on a guy if he wants to get paid too much or he'll duck you.

                  My problem with boxing is that every fighter thinks there is million dollar fights left right and center, GGG isn't gonna see you earning 3-5 million per fight because he isn't as privileged as Canelo or Joshua any other guys who have had the joy of being from a country who support their best athletes like crazy.
                  A lot of fighters seem to think that just because its a world title that they should be earning many millions, but it doesn't work like that it works on the basis of popularity/interest in who is fighting a lot of fighters price themselves out because of that.

                    Neither you, me or any fan is in position to tell a fighter what he is worth and WTF he should take! Fighters not doing us a service, this is not Charity. You participate in a dangerous sport like boxing, YOU SHOULD try to get the most money possible every time you step in a Ring. Who gives a *** what we have to say, we can go months even years complaining about a fighter but once they make the fight we want to see we will tune in no matter what

                    B1tch and Complain all you want about Wilder vs AJ but when that fight is official we will ALL TUNE IT!

                    At the end of the day, we're all pretending to know WTF is going on in the sport of boxing behind the scenes both on this forum as well as boxing commentators on youtube but we really don't know **** 98% of this **** is Conspiracies and some times Lucky Guesses when we're right about something

                    Eddie has made Millions as has Oscar, Bob Arum, Al Haymon and others, who the *** are we to even try to tell them WTF they should be doing when none of us have a successful Promotion of our own

                      which is better do you think, making 10 million or making 20 million?
