You have no argument gumbo.
Let explain to you 80 or 90 k capacity at wembley with well over 1.5 million ppv buys in the in the uk , plus europe and if remember rightly that paid a hefty £15 million pound to both joshua and klitchcko so again it is not reliant on ine bit to ppv sales in the us which in turn will not clash with the golovkin vs canelo fight.
The uk is now home to the heavyweight division so get use to it And stop being salty

Las Vegas was ready to host an event that paid Joshua alone more than what he and Klitschko made combined, plus pay Wilder some money, with everyone expecting the actual take to be beyond what was already guaranteed to the two fighters.

Why kid yourself?

AJ has been in camp for a while assuming a short guy assuming podvetkin, Wilder was in camp for a tall guy Breazele so no issue with a short notice AJ fight .... a last minute AJ fight favoured him greatly.

Apparently this late acceptance trick has been done before by Wilder and might explain the weird stalling by Wilders team if they did really want the fight. The theory was it was a bit of gamemanship gone wrong.

It has been done multiple times by Wilder and his camp and many people know it, including Breazeale.

Now more people are starting to see what is going on and know that it is Wilder (and Finkel) prolonging the fight from happening.

All Joshua/Hearn are doing is following basic protocol. They get special permits to not fight a mandatory only if they fight for another world title. They got a permit from the IBF to fight Klitschko for the WBA "super" title, then Joshua defended against the top rated contender available in Takam. Since Ortiz gave up his spot to fight Wilder, the WBA wasn't due yet but Joshua still went ahead and had another title unification bout...this time against Parker in March.

There was only one permit left for any organization (in this case the WBA) to fight for another world title. Wilder held that title. Hearn/Joshua wanted to make that fight happen. The first offer was sent in April either before or after the WBA ordered Joshua-Povetkin. That offer was refused.

The next (latest) offer was sent to Wilder and his team and they stalled...deliberately.

Now with the Joshua-Povetkin fight soon to be official, you will see that Wilder-Breazeale be announced soon after.

Yeah but who’s fighting him next not wilder. BUUUUUUMMMMM SQUUUUUAAAAD ITS SHOWS WHOS ALL TALK AND WHOS REALLY ABOUT IT AND AINT BEYONCÉ WILDER LOL

Your name should be Jimmy Pyrite instead of Gold
because you come up with so many foolish things to say.
You are right, Joshua IS fighting Povetkin next, but only
to avoid fighting Wilder.
