Keep it real. Joshua doesn't want to fight Wilder

[Motorcity Cobra]

His first demand was $50 mil. Well he got the $50 mil and now he's talking about the American judges and refs. He never talked about that being a problem before. He's had 2 favorable refs his last two fights. One even allowed him to call a time out.

A man that turns down a $50 mil + payday doesn't want to fight.

🇬🇧🇺🇸 Eddie Hearn says Al Haymon HAS answered his questions regarding the $50m offer for Anthony Joshua v Deontay Wilder and the next move in negotiations is for Joshua to decide if he wants the fight in Las Vegas (pursue Wilder's offer) or in the UK (counter-offer). [@IFLTV]

Of course not, would you?

[Mammoth]

He'd be dumb to pass on the money. Povetkin could spoil that super fight.

[jmrf4435]

Not right now at least.

I think povetkin vs joshua will happen first

[Redd Foxx]

B-b-b-b-but "publicity stunt" doe!!!

[Dean_Razorback]

does the offer only counts if they fight in las vegas?

[Joime]

I honestly think he does want the fight. BUT Eddie is poisoning his mind. And I believe Eddie himself doesn’t want it. Juicing J and Windmill Wilder would honestly fght each other but Eddie is in the way.

Yeah I think it's clear at this point that Joshua's side don't want it. Hearn made the $12.5 million offer hoping Wilder would turn it down. Then he'd fight somebody else and blame Wilder.

That plan completely backfired once the $50 million counter offer was proposed. Now they're trying to use the venue as a reason to walk away without getting blame.

Yea. The $50 mil offer is only good for Vegas because that's the only place the fight could make that type of money. Hearn and AJ are talking about the UK which would mean they have to make a counter offer.

Man LITERALLY said "Give me 50 million dollars upfront and I'll sign tomorrow."
Wilder's team said...."Ok no problem, it's in the bag."
And then Joshua replied by........moving the goalpost some more. This **** is ridiculous.
