Comments Thread For: Atlas: Joshua's Handlers Should Keep Him Away From Wilder

[Jack_sh*t]

What is it with these Americans not wanting the best to fight the best?

Stop making excuses, Joshua dgaf. He fights anyone.

Stop it. Teddy Atlas doesn't speak for all 'Mericans. That's like saying all Brits have a lisp, based on Chris Euwank.

There’s a rumor going around that it’s a done deal

[juggernaut666]

BScene seemed to left out some wording as USUAL .

Teddy said Wilder couldn't fight that good and Joshua could fight his waiter and make the same amount of money . lol


He also said its the managers /promoters job is to try and make the most money with the least risk possible (something Joshua has not done , you know who has ? ) So hes just explaining the build up of the fight to others ....... and why he thinks it doesn't happen this year bc of past mega fights that were built up .


The Wilder fans really dont want this fight !

I understand the desire to protect the good Joshua name. However, don't make things up to do it. This American thinks the promoter, Eddie Hearn, is keen to delay the fight, but doesn't want any public backlash in doing so. He has successfully convinced a bloke like yourself that the flat-fee offer was "solid", while no one in the boxing business agrees. He has also convinced you that his "efforts" translate into trying to make the fight, whereas he could very well be looking for a red herring to use as an escape clause. Like sponsorship.

I'm holding out hope that the fight gets made for this year, but it appears to be slated for marinating.

Please go back through my post and tell me what part of it was a lie? Nothing I've stated there is factually incorrect.

It would be very easy for Team Wilder to debunk what Team Joshua has put out into the media. There's a reason why they haven't.

Can you tell us how Finkel has refused to talk to Team Joshua yet at the same time Hearn is receiving information regarding the offer and in regular communications with Team Wilder.

When did this new deal get proposed? Eddie's doing interviews left and right and hasn't mentioned anything but the Team Wilder offer. Hook us up!

Hearn has stated he is only dealing with Haymon. That is where progress is being made.

The new deal is based on Finkels 24hr deadline. A deadline means a deadline. I'm sure the figures are still on the table but whatever is being worked on will turn out to be a lot different to what Finkel envisioned in his offer, that's just common sense.

That's exactly what i think, Wilder really has nothing to lose, if Joshua beats him, he'll continue to fight for 1 or 2 millions, but if he beats Joshua, he'll be the superstar!!

Do you really think he'd be a superstar if he won ? Just winning isn't enough ask Fury and to be fair to him he's stepped up all his career unlike Wilder but never got to Aj levels.

Maybe America would take to him .. it would be better for boxing in general if America took to a heavyweight any heavyweight but Wilders management and promotion has just been a disaster so far difficult to see them making a success of anything.

I totally agree with Atlas (If am not a boxing fan that wants to see it happen now), then i would be like why does Team Joshua wants this fight next, just looking at both of them now i would wait another 1/2 fights before fighting Wilder. They shouldn't even make Wilder an offer or negotiate with his team.

The good thing is, this fight is already done and should be annouced in a few weeks.

[FLY TY]

Barry Hearn has said already, numerous times, that he wants to wait a while before fighting Wilder.

I'd be very surprised if it happens next, or even this year. Hope I am wrong.

Fight is nearly done. Expect an announcement within the next couple of weeks.
