It’s only right that they fight in the uk no one know who fraud squad is in the USA

The A-side chooses where this fight takes place and i am glad that joshua has said the fight takes place over here....wilder is the B-side and if there is a rematch clause and wilder wins the fisrt fight then he chooses where the rematch takes place.
Wilder earns peanuts without joshua at 2m a fight and joshua earns 15 million a fight so go dow the maths wilder fanboys.

As I said negotiations went as they should. Usually we are not privy to the rougher engagements of two parties trying to come to terms, however we have heard all the war stories, most recently the first negotiation between Cotto and Canelo, where it was reported that Canelo was so frustrated with Cotto's negotiating tactics that he threw a chair during a GBP meeting. Your assumption is what played out isn't natural, but I assure you it absolutely is. The difference here is dealing with Hearn, who was constantly lying about what was happening, which in affect made Wilder's team look bad, and forced them to make the negotiations extremely transparent. Hearn of course was upset but that only lasted for about a week. Now we are at a place where the only sticking point is where the fight happens. One could say that Wilders tactics worked. We saw behind the curtain on this one, but it played out as most major boxing negotiations play out.

Who'd be a promoter, hey?

They admit that there's more money in fighting in USA but "is money everything". Well a week ago money was what makes the deal happen for aj and hearn. What's changed. They want no part of wilder. Off to fight povetkin. Aj s a liar pretending he owes it to UK fans. If he owed the UK fans then stop partnering with stub hub ripping off the fans

It would be a massive fight wherever it’s at

Doubt wilders team will give up 50 mil and have it the uk . That’s a raw deal for sure

Maybe they should scrap all the bull s**t and say 60/40 Wembley . To much hype around a fight that doesn’t look even close to happening .

I thought they had sorted the fight but obviously not . Hearn should just give wilder 40% and get it done

[Jimmy gold]

AJ will ko the fraud from Alabama

[bballchump11]

It's extremely clear to see which side is holding up this fight

[Outwest Exp 355]

I don't get this doe, of course he isn't big in america so? Khan had more fight in america than Joshua in america, so your logic makes zero sense.

It totally makes sense it just doesn’t fit your agenda.

Joshua holds most of the belts, and is huge in the UK. Why would he come to the challenger's back yard? If Wilder wants AJ's belts, he needs to go to the UK and try to take them.

[SinderellaMan]

If only Wilder had the confidence to take the fight instead of trying to sc**** what he can for his retirement. Sometimes you have to be willing to take a little to make more in the long run. Exactly what Joshua did to get where he is now.

So it’s Wilder’s fault since he wants the most lucrative option that just so happens to pay AJ the most??
I will take your word for it??
