Same people who praised Floyds A side behaviour now critique Joshua doing the same?

All Wilder had to do to make team AJ look like punks was take the $12 million dollars no demands to see what AJ team will do next but now you have all this stuff about $50 millions, 50/40. 50/50, pricing himself out stuff...Comment

The point is they both made big money and were the big A side. Floyd's opponents knew their place and saw a great opportunity to become a big name whilst also making a few million in the process. Wilder is just looking to get an unfair deal in his favour when he's done absolutely nothing. So yeah, those fans are hypocrites. And it seems you are as well. Your bias knows no bounds.Comment

Maidana was happy with the 6 mill or so from his Floyd fights. He saw that as enough money to retire on. As would anyone with a brain.Comment

He turned it down when he ducked Pac for so many years. So you're wrong there. But that's all the Americans have... complete rubbish.
AJ wanted the fight at home because he was the A side. He has every right to do so.Comment

Floyd got hate for ducking fights left right and centre. Joshua isn't doing that. He's fighting all of the top fighters in the division. He's willing to fight Wilder if he can stop demanding ridiculous terms. But he can't because he doesn't really want the fight. So it's not Joshua's problem.
The fight is there for Wilder if he wants it in April. He has the contract after all.Comment

Who do you Brits think AJ really is? It's not like he is even hardly or remotely the end of boxing. Boxing existed before him and it will exist after him.So Wilder himself revealed why he didnt sign the contract to face Wilder:
1.) Rematch clause (only for Joshua)
2.) Officials (would be picked by the British Board of Boxing Control).
3.) "Crackhead money", only 15 Million, only 6 times his highest payday
When Floyd was the A side it was common practice that only he got a rematch clause and the NSAC (Nevada State Athletic Commission) also picked the officials. Also when did Floyd ever pay his opponents 15 Million or 6 times their highest purse? He paid Canelo 5 Million and Cotto 8 Million, and his other opponents got even less.
When did any of Floyds opponent ever complain or cry as much as Deontay and his team do right now?
Most of the people in this forum were totally fine with Floyd calling the shots when he was the A side fighting all these other high profile fighters and world champions but now they critique Anthony Joshua for doing the same?
Thats called hypocrisy. Double Standards. Bias. Thats why this forum is suffering and many good posters are leaving or stopped posting. When you eventually only have all the biased sycophants, trolls and dummies left you can all have a great circlejerk.
Now you can enjoy Wilder fighting a couple more Haymon controlled pushovers, at least he got a ton of publicity and promotion from using Joshuas name in the last couple weeks, his Teams plan worked, use Joshuas name to promote Wilder and manipulate the gullible american fans.
There's a reason Finkel protected Wilder from Klitschko and never even tried to unify the titles with Parker in 40 fights while Joshua has done so in just 20.
Think about it, Wilder fights one good opponent, an old cuban on high blood pressure (whose best and only good win is Bryant Jennings) and almost gets knocked out, his team either wants a retirement fund or they want to keep milking the paperchamp vs inhouse nohopers like they did all his career.
Wilder doesn't want or need Joshua or his money. He just wants to be undisputed champion that's all. He already has money fool. He's a millionaire and is a World champion as well. Therefore, he just wants AJ's title belts. Wilder has nothing to prove as he is already the WBC champion.
Now if Joshua really thinks that he is more champion than Deontay, then let his cowardly ass step into the ring with him. Better yet, if he think money is what Wilder is all about then let him do a winner take all bout.
However, of course we know better; He won't do it because he is too afraid. This fight was for mere bragging rights in order to determine to the world who was the real heavyweight champion was by having an undisputed boxing championship bout.
That's why Deontay agreed to the Flat-fee, took short money and was willing to fight Joshua on his own soil. This was his present and gift to boxing fans but AJ blew it by fighting Povetkin.Comment
