Why is the goal post constantly moving?

[yoz]

Save the WBC belt, Wilder doesn't bring much to the table, and I don't see how both guys having a further tune up helps build interest. Both have frailties and it would be dangerous to dance around for another year.

I suspect discussions, now, come down to the finer details of prospective PPV yields and their splits.

AJ, obviously, should get a bigger piece of the pie.

As for Larry, the OP? Well, it's ironic that he's alleging duck tactics when he backed Mayweather to the hilt for years.

[yoz]

AJ is a chicken? Right, OK...

Let's gloss over Wilder's resume...

[LacedUp]

if both guys were "willing to travel" the fight would be signed by now.....but only wilder has fought in mexico and traveled to russia to defend his belt

AJ chickenson is chicken ****

Well the only reason Wilder did that was because he made more money and/or would lose his belt.

If he was a major star in the U.S he wouldn't go anywhere, you can bet your house on that.

[LacedUp]

1st-it was a p.r stunt and he needed proof of funds

Now that he was given proof of funds the fight has to happen in the U.K and Now it isnt about the money??

How can anyone keep a straight face and back this up? half of ya'll were claiming the $50 million offer was fake and now that it was proven legit ya'll are going with any excuse Hearn comes up with..I dont get it, I just don't get it

Has it been proven legit?

Here's a basic break down:

You can offer AJ 1trillion dollars and he'll still be tied down legally to a variety of sponsors, TVs etc. That comes with being a star.

Wilder doesn't have it because he's not a star.

But why are you saying they are making excuses when everything points towards a fight getting signed? I just don't get it.

nobody claimed wilder was a "major star" though...you just had to claim that argument to defend yourself

wilders side came up with AJs money...which common sense would dictate wilder gets to choose the place....but then AJ didn't wanna "come to America"....

its clear to see whos balking

hearn makes garbage offer
aj gets his monetary demand met but don't wanna use his passport

you really have no logical defense...lets hope aj chickenson overrides his promoter and makes it happen ASAP...otherwise its a clear as day duck

It doesn't seem you understood what I was saying.

Anyway, I'm not in the mood to argue with idiots and you certainly seem to be absolute void of any thread of common sense.

IDK why the US is such a big deal when a few months ago Hearn was yukking it up about Joshua fighting Miller in Brooklyn.

[Ray*]

Funny thing is I have seen more UK boxing fans attack Joshua for this, than I have seen American post attack Wilder for his words.

Firstly am NOT backing AJ with the "The fight has to be in the UK" talk. Why? Because he put his words out and said "If the fight was worth 100m then give me half of that". So am holding him to those words.

Secondly NOW that the 50m offer has been confirmed as legit, he cannot then turn around and try to control where the fight takes place.

Finally none of you crybabies has ever put Wilder on his words when he was offered 12.5m which represent the most he would have earned to make the fight.

The "No more ducking, no more dodging, I don't care about the money, I would go over to the U.K" etc
You know what you guys did? cry about another man's money, "Oh he was offered a flat fee" "No one gets offered a flat fee for a fight or this magnitude" Etc

So none of you are unbiased, I haven't seen one single post from American who is unbiased in regards to this saga yet.

Marination. You been here for years. Deal with it or ignore like I do. The fight will come when they see that it can make the type of money they want.

He knows how these things play out yet still gets all bent out of shape about it.
