Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Reportedly To Sign 100 Million Extension

[Eff Pandas]

Respect to Joshua getting his bank account taken care of. I still say there is more upside in Joshua to freelance out his individual fights, likely to matchoom, to maximize his revenue.

If Matchroom benefits him he should put pen to paper

If Wilder/Aj don't happen this year it never will. one of those two will lose an upcoming fight.

Big fight down the drain just like that..

Get this thing out the way now.

Don’t listen to Fat Dan Rafael.He is still bitter with Eddie Hearn because he didn’t supply him and the rest of the media front row tables at one of his many shows. So the fat c#nt thighs were numb because he had to rest his laptop and full course meal ( and his colleagues left over food more than likely)on his lap the entire night and probably got cramp. The fat weasel

Like I've said many times before, it's all about who you trust. Fat Dan and Finkel have been in the industry many years, and Eddie is a new kid on the block! I'm gonna rock with Fat Dan on this one!

As Fat Dan has said, this is all part of the 'dance'.

The fight with Wilder will happen.

Wilder will make about 11 Million on low end with 1.5 paydays some 2 Million dollar fights and 15 Million on high assuming he makes a few 2 Million dollar fights and fights 3 times a year .....

So realistically hes looking at roughly 12 Million in all likelyhood which is approximately what actually Hearn offered him and thats in a span of 3 years and ASSUMING he makes some 2 Million dollar fights .


So he could be making below 10 Million in 3 years also without the Joshua fight should he only fight twice a year and make his average .


Not smart at all is it acting like you are worth over when you stand to make 30 PLUS Million in TWO fights ...... that is the deal those clowns refused to negotiate and finagle a better deal through a smoke screen counter offer , one they couldn't make without Joshua agreeing to the terms first ....lol

Let's look at this whole thing for a moment...folks said multiple times that Haymon and company had the money to put down for Joshua to fight Deontay Wilder, right?

Well, how is that the case when Haymon had never done that for any fighter? Mayweather had already been established when he got bought out for 8 million and 1 penny (as the saying goes)...but everyone else had not reached over 2 million.

Here is something that I refer to: remember back in January 2016 when the Barclays Center hosted a world title doubleheader? Charles Martin won the vacant IBF strap via injury to Vyacheslav Glazkov



In the main event, Wilder defended his title against Artur Szpilka and won by knockout



So after that point, Haymon was the adviser for two world champions. A unification fight could have happened by June of that year. However, that was not even on the radar. Martin was considering fighting Breazeale, Arreola, or Szpilka and Wilder was about to defend against Povetkin, who was the mandatory at the time...

Here's the hangup...If Haymon and company had all that money, then why did they not only lose the purse bid to Ryabinsky but also not consider paying step aside money to Povetkin in order to hold a title unification fight? Don't forget that Wilder supposedly was talking about fighting Wlad after winning the WBC belt in 2015, but nothing came of it.

It's funny that folks keep saying that Haymon had the money but would not make a title unification fight happen with two of his own guys.

On top of my last post, there was also two chances where either Haymon could have proven that they had the money and that Wilder was serious about unifying.

The first instance is before October 2016 when the IBO, WBO, and WBA titles were relinquished. Wlad was out there looking for a fight, and both Joshua and Wilder had world title belts. Wlad ended up fighting Joshua and got a 15 million dollar check out of it. Wilder was preparing for his big fight against Gerald Washington...

The second instance is during the summer of last year when Wilder was supposed to fight Stiverne to get his mandatory defense out of the way. There were other offers on the table for Wilder to fight other guys, but he passed on them including the offer to fight Dillian Whyte for 3 million and Wilder asked for 7 million. When Wilder finally fought Stiverne in November, there was talk of him fighting Parker for the WBC and WBO titles.

If Haymon and company had the money, then why didn't they pay Parker 10 million for the belt that he had at the time?

Simple...they don't have the money.

AJ should ask Barry's ***** Eddie Hearn for proof of funds!
