Comments Thread For: Joshua Says Wilder Must Be "Realistic" in Unification Deal

[Phenom]

After that whole "give me $50M and I swear I will fight " thing AJ words don't hold much weight

So unless the next words out of his mouth is at a pre fight press conference he should just stfu

Alabama fraud pricing himself out as usual.

It wasn't really cryptic at all.

He was smiling on tv. saying he wants to fight Wilder, and that there's enough money to go around for everyone.

then he said he has a proven track record of making big fights, which is true.

Sounds like you missed the cryptic part then.

Is Wilder being unrealistic? And if so about what exactly?

And if Joshua dont wanna talk about whatever is unrealistic that's going on then why did he bring that sh^t up?

All of you who are talking about a fighter being afraid of the other don't know **** about boxing! First, Wilder knows AJ is his meal ticket and Haymon almost convinced AJ to take the $50 million which would have netted Wilder 5-8 times more than what he actually deserves! Secondly, AJ is a position to control everything at the negotiation table which doesn't come often! After Dela Hoya left the fight game only Floyd, Manny, Cotto, & now Canelo are the only fighters to be in this type of position. You don't give that power up for the money! Having that type of power will bring AJ possibly $500 million over the rest of his career. I hate to say it but Wilder needs AJ much more than AJ needs him. Averaging $1.5 million per fight is great money for Wilder but AJ is making 15x's more! If the fight is made in the U.K., AJ will still make close to $50 million & possibly more depending on the PPV buys in the U.S. but the only difference is most of his purse will come on the back end compared to the offer Haymon provided with the $50 million paid up front with no control over negotiations. Having power will keep you rich forever! Just ask the wealthy!!

Hearn still hasn’t revealed what his counteroffer is. That should tell you all you need to know.

Sounds about right. There is zero doubt in my mind Hearn doesn't wanna make this fight right now and based on these cryptic meaningless remarks by Joshua it sounds like Joshua is finally on board with Hearn's plan.

The British Belt Holding Coward Joshua never had any intention of fighting Wilder he's scared to Death This whole time his Master
"Eddie the Germ Hearn" was just trying to make noise here in the USA to hype his crappy DAZN App & trying to Poach some top USA Fighters.

>Says he's willing to fight in the UK for less money, declining 50 million guarantee and 50/50 split past $100 million revenue.
> Most likely isn't giving Wilder 60/40 despite being willing to take less money.

Wilder is not ambitious and confident enough to unify the division. Since it's not about the money, go for the glory.

[Laligalaliga]

Can someone tell AJ that's how boxing works. You beat one person, you fight the next. It's always been like this, it gets more demanding, especially after you declare yourself the king of a division. What a funny thing to say.

A man with 4 belts is indeed the king of the division.

[Laligalaliga]

your logic of his point opinion does nothing for the Wilder fight. In America Joshua has a $50 million guaranteed offer. Wilder has accepted the proposal to fight in the U.K. That should be the subject. They are ducking Wilder clearlyhi 🥊

OK, yes we are ducking wilder. So what the ****kk are you gonna do about that?

[Laligalaliga]

Let me see if I’m following this correctly. Team AJ offers Wilder a bull**** deal. Wilder predictably rejects it. Citing that according to his representation, the fight is worth a lot more than Team AJ is claiming, as much as $100M in revenue. AJ then shoots his mouth off stating that if the fight is worth $100M, guarantee him $50M, and the fight is on. Team Wilder then calls his bluff, guarantees AJ his $50M. But understandably, since they’re gonna finance the event, they wanna call the shots. The biggest shot being holding the fight in the US. You wouldn’t think that would be a problem. I mean, AJ would be getting his $50M guarantee. But all of a sudden, AJ has a change of heart, and says he’s willing to fight for less money, but the fight has to be in the U.K. Wilder again says no problem. And now all of a sudden Wilder needs to be realistic. Realistic about what? What new roadblock has Team AJ created that Wilder needs to be realistic about?

Only ******s like you thing X6 of wilders pay is a bull**** deal.
Nobody give a fkkck about wilder. He can go fight Ruiz Jr, kownaski, Ortiz II, stirverne n breazeale. These fights can't pay him the so called bull**** deal hearn initially offered.
Mind you, these fights will take minimum of 2yrs.
