Comments Thread For: Wilder Manager: We Bent Over Backwards To Make Joshua Fight!

[sportbuddha]

Hmm let's see, Klitchko got soundly defeated by Fury, went somewhere between 16-18 months between fights and then was TKO'd just as much from exhaustion as he was from punishment. Not to mention Joshua was a **** hair away from being knocked out himself...with a little extra rest from the Ref too.

AJ's record is no better. Everybody talks **** about Ortiz because he was 39 but Klitchko being beaten at 41 years of age after already being completely embarrassed by Fury is somehow a monumental achievement. Give me a f'ing break.

The fact you even compare Ortiz to Wlad says a lot about your knowledge of the sport. Ortiz was hyped to the hills based on a record of non-achievement. Yeah there are plenty of excuses why he never got anywhere in the sport, but they pretty much add up to the same as saying 'if I was foot taller I'd be in NBA'...'if didn't have a cold on the day of my trials I would have been the best pro at X sport by now'. This is boxing, excuses stop when you climb through the ropes, you make opportunities not wait for them.

And you actually believe Ortiz is 39..LOL...lets just say he must have spent a lifetime at sea and have walked a 100 miles a day on deck to look like that. When he fought Wilder he looked older than George Foreman vs Moorer and he was 45 at the time.

Obviously you haven't been following closely enough so allow me to enlighten you: The date is scheduled for April 13th at Wembley stadium... it has been widely publicised!
Whether or not I would sign a contract is not remotely relevant, the facts are that Wilder accepted the terms publicly but he didn't sign. Now I see that Wilder is demanding 50-50, utterly delusional!

You would refer to the recent offer. You know damn well I mean the negotiations for the fight that was supposed to happen next next that didn't happen because Joshua wasn't ready. Remember Hearn saying that he would not let Joshua fight Wilder on a 8 week camp? Well he's doing just that against Povetkin next. If you morons weren't such nut hugging idiots you would understand what that meant all along! They ducked this fight next on fkn purpose! There's no two ways about you red k fkn idiot. Shut your b@tch a55 up. I'm sick of you and all of these new Joshua d@ck riders on here all of the sudden. Your lot would defend anything because you're blind home cooking morons.

You compare Ortiz do Wladimir Klitschko?

Are you serious? Are you freakin serious?

What has Ortiz done in the sport, who has he beat? You casual ******s are really the cancer of this forum.

The B side has never gotten a rematch clause. Never.

Well that's not true. When you're dealing with huge unification fights like this, two fight deals aren't unheard of. Klitschko was also the B-side against AJ, but still had a rematch clause.

Please explain to me why Wilder deserves a rematch if he loses. He only has one belt compared to 3 and he's never sold a PPV in his life.

I'm not saying he does deserve one and he already agreed to fight without one, so it's a moot point. He's just using it as an example of Eddie saying one thing and putting another thing in the contract.

As for the belts, Wilder has the most important belt. As for AJ's three belts, they all splintered from each other. You have to unify the WBA, IBF and WBO just to be the real WBA champion from a historical perspective. The WBC belt has never fractured and has always been the most important.

Which means the fight isn't next. Which means Wilder is no longer willing to accept a low ball flat fee. He called AJ's bluff and they still backed out, so now the flat fee is out the window.

Well I guess that's up to him!

[N/A]

Well I guess that's up to him!

There has never been a fight this big with a flat fee. Ever. It's absolutely ludicrous to give Parker a percentage, but not Wilder. Shows Hearn simply wasn't serious about making the fight. I don't think he ever expected Wilder to accept 15 million. That was Hearn's polite way of saying no fight. When Wilder called his bluff, Hearn had to scramble.

I do believe Hearn would gladly take the fight in April for 15 million. You get one more safe pay day with Povetkin and then 15 million is such a ridiculously low purse for a fight of this size that you can cash out in a major way. But Wilder will never go for it. He was desperate for the fight. Now he's over it. He's serious about going for 51-0. Has already told his team he wants three fights next year to help speed up the process.

Did everything possible!! but don't want to sign now or then,.



these guys are absolute amateurs.

Had to scramble = sending a contract

This guy is such a Wilder **** sucker it's untrue

[N/A]

Had to scramble = sending a contract

The contract had no date and didn't specify if the fight would be next.

[LacedUp]

The contract had no date and didn't specify if the fight would be next.

Yeah sure.

They received confirmation, they just didn't want that work. Realizing they would be paid their actual worth even though Wilder has done his best to use AJs name to further his own.

Every interview, AJ AJ AJ AJ.

I think he's jealous.
