Comments Thread For: WBC Prez: Wilder-Joshua Deal Will Be Tough To Make

[BigStomps]

This guy is ducking Wilder!

Yeah I know he is! At first I thought AJ would beat Wilder but after watching each fighter's last fight my opinion changed.
Wilder will beat AJ's ass and AJ is ducking Wilder!

[OldTerry]

One thing that has changed in the last 3 months is that Fury has a date for a fight
There is probably more money in a Fury fight than a wilder fight and fury is less risky so Fury first Wilder second , just business

I wonder if Fury would take a Wilder fight? I believe that fight could be in Vegas and would be fairly big money. That would be a win/win for Joshua. If Fury beat Wilder it makes a Fury Joshua fight bigger and all the belts would be on the line (of course this fight happens in the UK). If Wilder beats Fury then just imaging how much bigger a Joshua/Wilder becomes. AJ is the big winner in either of these scenarios and Fury an Wilder are winners also.

Location isn't the problem ,Wilder wants 40% which Finkel stated its a 50 Million dollar fight minimum in the U.K .....in a NEXT fight .

Thats 20 Million .


Joshua gets 30 about .


You cant justify a 2.1 highest pay and demand 40%and give Joshua a MINIMAL gain to HIM in such a fight , its nonsense and its that simple .

I don't know exactly but possibly that's why hearn is offering flat rate.
I think they should find a way to resolve their differences.

Oh good, WBC is weighing in. Its like throwing in a wrench into an already struggling engine.

Who will WBC be siding with here? Probably AJ for future earnings?

Interesting idea. The issue here is that Fury, no matter how much he talks and how much he thinks of himself to be the god of boxing, will not be ready for Wilder until next spring or summer and won't fight him until then. I guess Wilder will go back to Breazeles of the sport, if fight with AJ falls through.

A flat rate thats negotiable . You dont go backwards in negotiating .


Obviously Wilder will get close to 15 Million wheather its a flat rate or percentage .


Unless the fight is bigger then projected .


Wilder demanding 40% is still nonsense and any boxing fan with some intellect knows this .


If Wilder thinks he will win he takes the fight regardless bc Breazeale brings ZERO to his image .

And why is everyone IGNORING the fight wont happen next if it was in the U.S ???????


The Wilder cry babies WANT the fight next and its only possible in the U.K .


What a bunch of ******s !

[kafkod]

yeah, funny how that works......lol

It works in the same way as AJ having to stick to what he said about signing immediately for $50million, but Wilder NOT having to stick to what he said about being willing to fight AJ in the UK.
Great to see that good old fanboy bias from the WBC President.

Both fighters make comments that they didn't back up, Wilder also said no dodging, no ducking, don't hide behind promoters or money, i would take whatever, i would go to the UK etc...Well he was offered 12.5m to come over here and he didn't want to know.

So am much as i give AJ grief for wanting to have home advantage, i think Wilder wanted the same thing. But because AJ is the A-side we get to criticise him more.

Come on man. Wilder has stated he wants 40%, or he'd take whatever lowball offer they threw at him him, if they take the reverse in a rematch. He has been offered neither.

AJ is the only one who has gotten what he asked for, he's on tape! Yet and still, you UK boys keep putting up roadblocks.

I see how the writer is trying to control the narrative.. statements like Wilder refused to come to UK, desperate to make fight in US..etc.. Stop the bull**** I've been watching the gay **** Joshua has been doing, I've seen the videos where Wilder has stated he would go to UK for 60 -40 even though his team put up the grand purse.. it's time people call up Hearn and Joshua for who the are Hoes who never wanted this fight..

Exactly right.

You guys are ridiculous. If AJ and Hearn believed AJ would win, why not fight for a guaranteed 50 million MINIMUM, and become undisputed, and still fight Fury next year?

And Fury is not bring AJ 50 million dollars...sorry

This is the most twisted load of crap I read so far. You don't go backwards in nagotiations? AJ said he'll fight for less money, they want Wilder to fight for less too. That is bass ackwards.

What did he say, and what is he going back on?
