Maybe he not only wants an even split but wants the fight held in Alabama. What he demands and what he will get are two different things. AJ has most of the belts and most of the recognition as the real champion. He has defeated more top heavyweights than Wilder in about half as many pro fights and he is 4 years younger. If he can keep winning AJ will keep making much more money than Wilder makes every fight and he doesn't need to fight Wilder at all. Wilder and his fans can call him every dirty name in the book but he will just keep smiling and cashing those giant checks. Wilder needs somebody to beat AJ for him to improve his standing in the heavyweights. Maybe Wilder could get a fight with someone who beats AJ if that happens.

US fans don't pay to watch AJ fight on PPV cause he isn't a PPV fighter here, US fans don't even bother to watch him fight live and you could tell by his ratings.All these Wilder fanboys typing essays and dissertations on here would NEVER pay to watch him fight on PPV unless it is against AJ. AJ is about to face another opponent who is greater than anyone that Wilder has fought. Enjoy watching this deluded Wilder fight bums for the foreseeable future.Comment

It takes two to make a fight though. This fight would draw much more than any other fight Joshua could have. Wilder deserves his share of the money due to that. Maybe not 50/50 but he should get at least 40% at this point after Hearn keeps messing around. Joshua backed out of saying he would take 50 million. It’s similar to GGG/Canelo where Canelo is the obvious A side but a fight against any other opponent wouldn’t draw as much as against GGG.Comment

You got that right. I like to talk boxing on here but if I want to say anything it has to be about Wilder, Hearn and AJ and who's fault it is the damn fight won't happen. There are almost no threads about anything else. I don't start threads. I just comment on threads that are already up. All you posters who do start threads please give this topic a rest. It is being talked to death and is getting old and boring. Everybody has already picked sides on who's to blame and nobody is changing their mind.Comment

This just proves like his fanboys wilder is a deluded garbage can. This man really making demands? No starpower barely any fans WEAK WEAK resume (2 top 5 ranked fighters in 40 fights) no ppv power 1 belt and he thinks he deserves 50/50 😂😂 wilder will LOSE eventually to whyte or brezeale unless he sticks to fighting polish plumbersComment

I don’t blame Wilder. They bent over backwards to try and make this fight and even offered AJ his 50 million request then from there it was team AJ
This is a pr stunt
We want proof of funds
We want the money upfront
Where will the fight be held
What channel will carry the fight
We want the fight in the U.K.
No rematch if you lose
A contract with no date or location
I know a lot of you will say well AJ is the A side so he can dictate and maybe so but he is only the A side in the U.K. and quiet honestly that is because he is really the on true star fighter the U.K. has. There is a difference between being the A side and avoiding a fight.Comment
