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

Lol... I'm over this whole topic but I can't help but lol when guys like Lewis and Fury call AJ a duck. Really mind***s some of the more obnoxious members of this forum.

Fury sounds like a jealous man.

[SAINTSTEVE]

He has nothing that’s why. Generally it’s the people that have everything that comes across as arrogant

He (Fury) has a name for himself that is likely going to lead to an opportunity in the future. So he has more than nothing, he has opportunity. It's about what he does with it (but honestly he probably does lack the discipline to do much).

AJ getting it from all angles now lol

the underwearsalesman's best win ? charles martin that's where he won his "title"

He didnt win that title, Eddie bought it for him.

Finkle has basically said the same thing. There was an article on boxingscene in fact, where he stated give us a valid contract, with date and venue that includes a non-insulting offer, and we will fight. He said we don't need 50-50 to sign, just a logical, respectable offer. 30% would be a fair offer. Why does Hearn refuse???

Why is Hearn now saying Wilder deserves LESS than $15 million??? HE doesn't want the fight.

Hearn refuses because his life is right where he financially wants it to be. Wilder is that wrench that can potentially sabotage Hearns' status and future huge endeavors. The same way Hearn has commercially created the larger than life Joshua in the UK, is the same way he flippantly throws condescending remarks about Wilder to the public. Hearn is convinced his public shaming has convinced everyone that Wilder and his team is irrelevant and full of games.

Real boxing fans KNOW that the amount of money a "champion" has doesnt mean he's reached his plateau, nor does it define his heart......Wilder WANTS Joshua MUCH more than Joshua wants him: PERIOD! Its Joshuas side supplying all the blanks, question marks and ignoring. Its easy to find out past shenanigans and which side has the passion to get it on - opposed to the side that has the sole intention to dismiss & devalue the other side.....

Hearn can make ONE call and get EVERYTHING done. He knows that this is the case, thats why his communication is spotty & vague. If youre the A Side, carry on negotiations aggressively like youre ready to defend your title.....theres no more freedom for Joshua to get more rounds in before he fights Wilder - it should not be allowed when you've "earned" 4 belts...

I've actually seen posters on here bash Lewis after that. Saying he couldnt draw a dime, weak era etc.

blew my mind. Then I just laughed at how quick they turn on their own.

Fury has BEEN saying that. As have most all other current/former fighters and pundits. Face it; AJ ducking Wilder is the narrative here. Don't let it get you to feeling some sort of way. It's only boxing.

I've had fighters I like end up ducking another fighter. You just have to accept it and move on.

what baffles me is that you guys like to massage your ego by trying to put the blame on the wrong guy.
But the contract papers are in the US just a signature away from the fight been made.

[Laligalaliga]

Yes, that is correct. They wanted AJ and his team to verbally accept so they could draw up a contract. It was a legit offer to call AJ's bluff of saying he would sign in 24hrs.

Hearn questioned if the money was actually legit, which he found out it was. They still declined stating AJ wants the fight in the UK, not the US. (Even though Hearn admitted that the biggest money is to be made in the US. He even talked about fighting Miller to get US exposure, but didn't want Wilder in the US.

If finkel has 50mil, how come he has not been able to pay a champ to unify the belts after 40 fights until AJ did it in 21 fights? Why?

Fury is playing his usual game, tomorrow he would call Wilder a bum and accuse him of making peanuts. And why should he get 50/50 in a fight with him. This is just Fury being a calculated businessman. You have to plant your seed now and he is doing that in Joshua, Joshua is the man that’s why everyone looks up to him for every fight to happen, and if it doesn’t happen then he is the one ducking, when you are the A-side this sort of things are normal, if this doesn’t happen then you haven’t reach that status yet, Mayweather was scared and ducking, RJJJ was scared and ducking, Canelo was scared and ducking, Hopkins was scared and ducking, but guess what? All of them have a better resume than the ones that they were “Ducking”..... that’s boxing for you.
