Comments Thread For: Joshua, Hearn Stand Firm: Wilder Fight Must Be in The UK

[rickJen]

Is the B side still acting like he's the A side or what?
I always thought it's about the fight for Wilder.
It's about the money after all.
Kills me.

Man this leaves a lot of AJ fanboys with egg on their face. Talked all that crap about the money bein in the UK and how Wilder's offer was BS. Even clowning Wilder when AJ made the "give me 50 mil" video. Now that they have found out the 50 mil is legit I'm not surprised to see them try to change their tune instead of just manning up and admitting they were wrong. Props to those like Lacedup who kept it real

If you think AJ the juiceman looks bad now.. wait until 90,000 fans see him asleep in the ring.. lol

Joshua's demands were met, but now his team comes up with more demands.

They just keep moving the goal posts.

I understand AJ and his teams point of view... but turning down $50m is not a good look

[Drew Bundini Br]

If he brings nothing to the table, why did his offer pay Joshua nearly twice as much as Joshua’s offer paid to himself?

Checkmate!!

Fair play. But AJ’s side should then pay Wilder whatever he would be getting if the fight was in the U.S. — and more than Parker got — no flat fees, no monkey business.

If he’s exercising his ‘A’ side on venue rather than purse, he needs to give up the $$$.

Definitely. If Joshua wants to fight Wilder in England, he'll have to make it worth his while. I may have argued that $12.5 million should be enough, but if Wilder disagrees, he has that right.

What BS, a fight like this makes more money in Vegas, Hearn even admitted himself.
Joshua wants home advantage so all his mental robot programming stays on track.
Boxing is a world sport, they should dare to be great and meet the occasion.
A fight like this in Vegas will help reignite the sport in USA and that's better for everyone.

Otherwise it's just getting into some Klitschko small-time hometown stuff, but Hearn so far is straighter than the K2 team with their little underhand tactics vs opponents before the fight . History will judge enterprise and originality and colour more than eking out every little ***** advantage, like boring Wlad Klits team.

Who does that Alabama fraud think he is he’s nothing but a paper champion he should be honored that AJ is even entertaining to fight that fraud smh either chump squad takes the deal and fight in the uk or no fight for tha Alabama ballerina si he can keep on fighting school teachers and old out shape fighters like Ortiz or stiverne lol Be on the look out for Ortiz 2 or stiverne 3 what a fraud a wilder is lol

This is the most sensible outcome that I have heard so far.
