    Is this historic?

    If Anthony Johnson is able to weasel his way out of fighting Deontay Wilder, my question is this:
    Will this be the biggest duck in boxing history?

    Before you were born, a boxer named Rid**** Bowe threw his belt in the trash to escape facing Lennox Lewis.

        It is interesting to me when you look at Joshua's career VS Wilder's, how many people think that Joshua would be the one to duck Wilder. This is coming from a fan of both.

            There is actually some historical value here if the fight doesn't happen .


            Wilder will be the first fighter in history to turn down over12 Million after havng a career high of 2.1 Million . lol

            IF the fight doesn't happen he will also be the first fighter to decline an offer with that money AND a rematch on his home soil .


            This is really unprecedented milestone as he will altogether walk away from a SEVENTEEN times minimum his highest pay hes only made ONCE .


            Way to go Wilder were pulling for 'ya . lol

                Bowe wanted a 90 /10 split .

                Lewis agreed to a taking 20% but Bowe still wouldn't fight him .

                Thats just a blatant duck , Wilders is more subtle .


                Joshua has generated approximately 20 Million his highest and has the ability to keep making more .

                Wilder 2 Million . And theres no fighter beyond Joshua that he will make any significant revenue with .

                If Wilder stands to make over 30 Million in 2 fights ask yourself who is actually ducking if he averages 1.4 Million dollar fights ?
