Because English people are all well 'ard right haha, Ronnie Pickering lol

Nope, because in most London pubs there will be at least a few guys that won’t think a second about escalating to violence for a small slights on them, like ‘looking at dem funnee’. I’ve been in pubs all over the world and unless you’re in a tourist place in London you best keep some manners about you because some little ratty fella with nothing better to do will stick a glass in your face, they might not be big on guns in the Uk but there are a lot of short tempered people.

The A-side has spoken.....it's simple as that and now is the time for wilder to man up and face the top gun in the heavyweight division.

Absolutely lame from Team Joshua. They lied and pretended the $50m offer wasn't real, knowing they were never going to accept it. Shameful stuff.

if it were me, id love to fight in the other guys living room. especially after dude makes such a big stink about it.

since aj quickly went back on his word, dw should get on that plane and TCB.

aj threw the gaunlet at dw.
dw kept his word and came through.
aj is the one who tucked tail and reneged.

aj is the leader in the hw div but he failed to keep his word.
no question about it.

Who gives a **** about the $50m offer? It's over.

Wilder is being offered huge money to fight for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world and he is stalling because he thinks he can make more in a US fight WHICH ISN'T GONNA HAPPEN.

A side says it's in the UK. So he should accept the UK deal, it's still about 10x more than he has ever made.

Wilder fans sure do guard their lord-and-savior at all costs don't they? Geez, the biggest atmosphere for this is in England. Wilder has one belt. Joshua has four belts. And BTW, those saying the U.S. will be more strict on the testing are just acting dumb. Many fighters have been caught cheating... worldwide. Sounds more and more like Wilder fans are the ones who don't want to risk their guy vs Joshua. All they need to really be concerned about is the rematch clause in the contract. Then fight #2 would be in the U.S. But the man Joshua says England for fight #1. So either it will be England, or Wilder can drop to CW and make even less cashish.

why do non dw fans quickly forget about the ''show me 50 mil and ill sign tomorrow'' comment ?!?!?

even worse, make it out as if aj was ''j/k'' !!!!!

who in the fnck jokes about turning down 50 mil that was demanded ?!?!?!?

aj gave up his 4 belt advantage when he dared dw to come up with 50 mil.

something tells me dw is going to give in and fight aj in england......and aj fans aint going like how it ends.

Road blocks after another. Wilder should just move on.

Move on where? To UFC? Given the choice between AJ and Wilder, who on earth would choose a fight with Wilder? 1 belt vs 3, money vs no money. Same risk. It's a simple math
really. All boxers are businessmen these days. Fighting AJ is a good business, Wilder - not so much. And this translates to Wilder fighting Beeazele-like opponents until his retirement. He turns himself into a paper champ. Similar to Stevenson, except more active.

People should stop complaining about the 50million offer,I just want to see the fight and if Wilder is not willing to travel then he is scared,there is a reason Joshua work so hard to become the A side,Wilder should just accept their offer and go knock Joshua out in the UK.

[Laligalaliga]

Nope he is just getting started

Lolx..... I give up on your matter.
