Originally posted by Boxingfanatic75 View PostYou are obviously what the comment directly points out...not a fan but a fan girl, not adult-like or grown up. It’s about unfair $$ for a champion (both are) and it should be equitable and until people get that through their thick skulls I’ll go about posting this until it sinks in. Have a nice day

Originally posted by Boxingfanatic75 View PostKlitschko was 3 years past his prime against him and should have retired long ago. Extremely accomplished HW but truly hasn’t been competitive for a number of years. To answer your question he landed far less and it was because of Fury he was long past his prime. A prime Klitschko knocks Fury silly and kos him within 5 and you’d never hear the name Fury again

Originally posted by OldTerry View PostA legitimate and fair contract will never be offered to Wilder by the Joshua/Hearn team. They are avoiding Wilder at the expense of Joshua's reputation. I know that Joshua is the UK's golden boy but he ain't the rest of the world's little darling.

If physique was everything Ken Norton would have been the top of the tree in his era.
One of those decisions caused a riot lol
But the physique stuff is baseless fanboy behavior

Originally posted by Butch.McRae View PostComplexion is 100% a factor here. For some, that's all they see most of the time.
That Usyk Wilder/AJ talk is nonsense until we see more.
However, the Fury talk isn't completely bullcrap imo. The HW division is a wasteland in terms of boxing skill. Sadly Fury, when fit, is more skilled than Wilder and AJ. I think a fit Fury beats Joshua. He'd be a favorite against Wilder too but I think Wilder would catch him and put him away.
And I'm no Tyson Fury fan at all.

Originally posted by Boxingfanatic75 View PostNo one in their right mind no matter how much more a payday is would sign such a one sided contract as a champion
Originally posted by Boxingfanatic75 View Postgiven the fact the fight would generate in excess of 100 million.
I'm not saying that the fight can't or won't generate that much, but you have to substantiate what you say with some evidence if your point is going to be convincing. I don't mean to sound patronising but it's just true.
Originally posted by Boxingfanatic75 View PostSo please save us the simple math garbage. Adults come to the table between two champions and render contracts under equitable terms
Wilder gets the career high payday PLUS the opportunity to cement himself at the top of the division and become one of the most lucrative and marketable names in world sports. Yes, he should be offered a percentage but if he isn't then he'd be better off doing his best to make the fight rather than just hoping that Joshua loses at some point. He set his sights on Joshua, that's good. He should do everything he can to get him in the ring. He says that his team have done that, but they evidently haven't.

Originally posted by Curt Henning View Postthis would be ideally what hearn wants....
he can talk about fury and miller or whyte rematches all he wants
but...he aint getting away with that next two years! the boxing world/media will not let him
eventually the pressure became too much on canelo to put of golovkin...and even the pressure made them cave financially to golovkin in a rematch
wilder will get close to 50 percent and aj will be shamed into fighting him sooner rather than later
Joshua can cash in with every outing. Canelo needed Golovkin, Joshua doesn't need Wilder.
Sad fact is the paying public that fills the stadiums won't give him a hard time about not fighting Wilder as most have never heard of him, especially if we end up with a 2 year countdown to Fury, as Hearn will sell that heavily as Joshua going for the REAL champ.
And a Fury fight will pay a heap more than a Wilder fight too. Again, Joshua doesn't need Wilder to fill the coffers.
edit: Best move Wilder could make would be to set up home in the UK for a while and beat the likes of Whye and Chisora in spectacular fashion - then the UK public will wake up to who he is, and THEN they would be baying for Joshua to take him on.Last edited by angkag; 07-23-2018, 12:30 PM.
