Comments Thread For: Wilder Agrees Two-Fight Joshua Deal, Per Reports

[The Big Dunn]

He was the champion when he fought Wlad as well He was only gaining a vacant WBA.

They are monetizing every fight, that comes with being the money man. AJ has overpaid everyone he's ever fought, and the same goes with Wilder - If you look at how much they are generating on their own or against anyone else in the division.

There's no difference here,.

Yes there is-Wilder's power. If wilder didn't have it, then AJ and Hearn would jump at the chance to fight him because on paper it appears to be an easy win.

So they look for less dangerous, less expensive options before Wilder because a loss could hurt the ability to monetize because casual fans put more stock (and thus more money) into fighters with undefeated records.

I never said that wasn't foolish and weird.

But I'm not referring to that. And I'm saying Wilder fans are ******, you return to say AJ ran from 50mil and somehow... AJ's fans are ******?

You said were insane for thinking aj would duck. He’s already shown to do it once even after getting the money he wanted

[Eff Pandas]

It doesn't matter what Eddie says. If AJ wants it, he'll get it.

And AJ wants it.

Eddie's a slick mfer lets not steal his credit he's due. He can talk a catholic into an ********.

And lets not ignore how many road blocks he's been trying to lay in front of maybe the 2nd biggest fight to make in the sport right now. Haven't seen that sorta sh^t since prime Arum when he was trying to connect Manny to Floyd as much as possible w/o fighting Floyd.

Wilder will be sent a contract this week according to Hearn who is mentioning pushing it to October or November.
It's happening ladies and gentlemen How silly all of you who thought it wasn't going to happen.

I'll believe it on fight night. Til then I'm waiting for the Joshua injury news that'll spring up when Hearn pushes him down some steps.

[Eff Pandas]

Can't wait! I wouldn't be too surprised if either (1) they each have a fight before the big showdown, or (2) they wait until November to have the big showdown so that the public is properly hyped and Clenelo's fight is well in the rear-view mirror. Either way...

If this fight legit gets signed either guy is ******ed to have a in between fight. Too much money at stake.

And lets not forget that time Tyson & Holyfield were gonna fight after Tyson beat some journeyman in Japan.

Lets cut the sh^t with bs fights in between big fights.

[Bad_Guy]

Hope it happens in September! Can't wait!

Yeah, I agree. To me the talked-about Povetkin fight was dangerous for AJ. In theory AJ would have no problem with Povetkin, but he's got some skills and can crack plenty. I think the Wilder-AJ fight next makes the most sense if they ever plan on doing it... which it sounds like they do! This is a pretty big ****ing deal.

Well, OK then!! This is what boxing is about! Glad to hear it, make it happen, fellas!

If you really believe Joshua will pussy out, then you my friend, DKSAB!

Joshua will rip wilder apart mark my words.
The grim reaper will come knocking on wilders door and its good night sweetheart.
