Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury: Joshua Will Not Fight Deontay Wilder at Any Cost

[Barristan]

Fury just saying what everyone including AJ and Hearn already know

[Laligalaliga]

When has AJ been on U.S. PPV?

Allow the guys fighting in the US worry about the US ppv for now.
The UK guys should worry about theirs.
When AJ crosses the Atlantic, he will worry about that.
So put your mind at rest.

AJ is the king of the jungle right now, he doesn't need to chase Wilder.

Wilder is really just a contender with a belt, he should be doing everything possible to fight AJ, yet didn't sign when the contract was there.

[Just looking]

Let's go back to Joshua-Parker negotiations. After some tricks from Hearn they signed a contract with a date, a venue and percentage split. Why can't they threat Wilder as a champion now?

Who ever sell out stadiums obviously is the fans favorite. You know nothing what you talk about.
Am not talking about 15k arena here, am taking about stadium buddy.

OK freaky, I never said anything about who is marketed the best. But, if your cheerleading ass is just going to cheer for the most popular, you have at it baby.

I still see Fury getting more support, and that doesn't mean ticket sales.

"Most of you Americans no that percentage is ******" If a fifty - fifty split was fine with Muhammad Ali in Ali vs Frazier I, tell me how it isn't fine in Joshua - Wilder? What ever could raise Anthony Joshua's impact on boxing so that he would get a better deal in Joshua vs Wilder than Ali got in Ali vs Frazier - especially at this stage of AJ's career (not that AJ will ever have the impact on boxing that Ali has had). Ali's record going into the Frazier fight: 31 - 0 and nine previous (major) title fights at age 29. AJ's record when he refused to sign for fifty million dollars: 21 - 0 with a handful of title fights at age 28. Ali won his Olympic gold medal without controversy. AJ's Olympic gold medal was a gift - the judges decision an outright robbery. In addition to his impact on boxing, by 1971, Muhammad Ali was known throughout the entire world as a public figure who place his career on the line for refusing to support the undeclared Vietnam war. AJ's has a criminal record and has served time in Reading Prison, but he isn't world renowned. So tell me again that AJ deserves a greater percentage than does Wilder. Only an AJ fanboy or a complete dolt would believe that. Muhammad Ali split the purse 50 - 50 with Joe Frazier, and there is no way that Anthony Joshua (especially at this stage of his career) deserves any better deal than 50 - 50 for fighting Wilder. AJ's insistence on getting a greater percentage than Wilder is simply AJ's way of refusing to fight Wilder and nothing more. Remember, AJ's turned down fifty million dollars guaranteed. Either AJ is incapable of understanding what fifty million dollars guaranteed means, or AJ knows that he'll lose to Wilder and is refusing to sign for that reason.

What you just wrote is ****** on so many levels and it’s actually quite sad to read your post and know you don’t have any financial and business acumen and your everyday work is manual labour. You have no concept of critical thinking. You better not be a brother or if so please be under the age of 14 years. That way you are still to young to work and your brain can still develop.
Joshua is no Evander, Lennox or Klitschko at this stage I don’t want to hear any examples with Ali and please please don’t mention Fraiser and then try to apply it with Wilder and their negotiations lolol.

Yes Joshua had a stint in jail so did Floyd so did Tyson but i didn’t see even someone as popular and marketable as McGregor getting 50/50. I don’t think Berto got it either against Floyd. Also just out of curiosity how do you think and A and B side comes about? Your feelings on the Olympics with Joshua is your feelings on the Olympics I’m not at liberty or frankly don’t care enough to contest.

Let me reiterate Wilder deserves a percentage I think even his own team have since come out and said they don’t expect 50/50 but you think they are mad and Wilder does. In fact do you know what now thinking about it he does. Let’s pretend that he is

Then why compare? U.S. PPV is worth about 4 times UK PPV. All Wilder would need to do is get 250k U.S. PPV and hes making AJ money. Why compare? It's apples and oranges. AJ is not even remotely close to Wilders popularity in the U.S.. Wilder is not remotely close to AJ's popularity in the UK. AJ can't get Americans to watch him for free, what makes you think the'll pay to watch him in a fight that doesn't include Wilder? Delusions is what it is.
Your answer was a cop out.

How would you base his support if you are thinking logically? Oh boxing scene perhaps? I know you don’t live in the U.K. and I don’t live in America so if I talk about the Support of Wilder all I can base my opinion on is Attendance figures at his fights , viewership ratings and commercial deals / sponsorship etc. I wouldn’t use boxing scene as my chief source and you shouldn’t either. Apart from that I agree with everything you said

sorry buddy, I guess you are talking about spiritual support.

Joshua's deluded fan base is shrinking with every day this wilder fight isn't made. He will barely be able to fill the soccer ground he hides in, soon
