        So what?! He's still the A side and can change his mind and take less in favor of home advantage.
        It wouldn't have led to that if the effing B side didn't keep saying NO, NO, NO...
        What kind of a B side is this acting like the A side?
        It's so stoopid.

          Man Deontay as B side is not even close to the popularity of those you mentioned.
          The media didn't even recognize him when he visited the White House.

              Do you guys think Deontay is the most uncooperative B side in boxing history?

                  I agree, this is just a routine fight top fighters have to take to get to the next level

                    Back in the golden ages of boxing there were no A sides or B sides there were only sides. This stuff is a new phenomenon. It started back with Oscar De La Hoya. In this instance, Wilder/Joshua what is a B side or A side?

                    Both guys have leverage and a bargaining chip. They both have what the other wants and that's the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world. I am sorry but Anthony Joshua's quest won't be complete until he get that Green Belt.

                      Imagine if Pacquiao said the only way he would fight Mayweather is if it's in the Philippines.
