Comments Thread For: Joshua's Coach Explains Why Wilder Fight Must Be in The UK

[rickJen]

He is the A side, and became one when he fought and beat the Ukrainian legend.
Unfortunately, Wilder will never cooperate being the B side.
It became clear it's not the fight he's after primarily.
It's the money. You'll offer him 5x he's getting and he'll still think it's not enough.
Sad day for the sport.

I wish you would stop making post like this because it's nonsense.


When you are the B side and offer the A side money, how is it that Wilder is the one trying to cash out. It's ok if you like AJ better but stop making up BS.

i wouldn't have a problem with joshua filling stadiums and having such a passionate fan base.. But he needs to cough up those belts! Because those belts mean world champion.. Means u are ready for smoke an he's acting like a national champ!

Is it not now obvious for the AJ camp that the location is more important than money to them? Meaning, they pretty much abandoned the money part.
How about Wilder? If the fight is more important, how is it that $12.5 mil is not enough considering he's making around $1-2 mil per fight?

These guys are talking out of both sides of their mouth. First AJ asks for and gets a 50 mil offer. Then AJ says it's not about the money, he'll fight for less. AJ said it's about stadiums full of his fans, but he's still quibbling about the split. What is it? Why is AJ worried? Las Vegas is a cosmopolitan ******** mecca. People go there to have a good time. People go to London and get soaked in more ways than one. When a dog won't go at a steak, something is wrong with the dog.

We all know Hearn is delaying this fight, forget about it in 2018 and maybe not even 2019.

Getting boring now

All wilder needs to do is get is accept and the fight is on

Then Wilder came up with 50 million dollars. Money talks, or is it different over there?

[nick_viking]

It'll happen - either next or in 2019 assuming AJ gets through Povetkin (which is by no means definite).

For what it's worth I think a lot of people are putting way too much emphasis on the $50m comment AJ made. Imagine it was a throwaway comment made in an interview (he did something similar with the Dana White $500m rumours).

Following that comment I would think Eddie Hearn or someone with a bit more sense will have sat him down and explained the importance of retaining control of the fight, AJ's legacy, earning potential over the next few fights etc.

I think there's a very structured plan for AJ's career, and fighting a high risk power puncher in your first fight in the US without Hearn controlling the event probably isn't part of that. If AJ keeps going how he has been, then he'll be clearing $50m over his next few fights easily anyway, wilder or not - so money isn't the major motivating factor. Hearn & co will do everything to stack the deck in AJ's favour, home territory, familiarity, control over timings, press commitments etc - all helps to give AJ better chance.
