Reasons for the AJ vs Wilder split

[Real King Kong]

wilder needs to rematch zelenoff first.

This is why AJ should just take a few fights where he is likely to earn $20M per and watch his star continue to rise, while Wilder sits on the sidelines taking on $2M fights against no-hopers and still no one knows who he is. Before long Wilder will be begging for $15M and a chance to fight in the U.K. Unless of course he would rather focus on being 51-0 while fighting journeymen.

Here's what's funny. The Whyte vs Parker fight for this weekend is SOLD OUT, the AJ vs Povetkin fight will sell out 90k within minutes and yet Wilder, who is talking the most trash...doesn't even have an opponent yet for this fall. And when he does choose another bum, that fight will be watched in front of about 10k and not on PPV. The DAZN thing is brilliant and soon it will be the Netflix of combat sports, just watch. All this going on for Hearn, Matchroom and AJ yet somehow you idiots still think that the Wilder vs AJ fight should somehow be in Vegas? Hhahahaha. That just shows how dumb you are. The hot spot right now is in the UK and thats also where the money is. AJ has 4 belts (IBO, IBF, WBO and the WBA) while Wilder has only one, the WBC which he was devalued by fighting bums the last 3 years. You don't believe me? Watch his next fight and look into the stands. Look at all of the empty seats. Then watch the sold out fight this weekend beween two guys who don't even have a belt hahaha. Wilder should be ashamed of himself fighting the guys he does. He will never be on PPV or even sell out an arena this way. And he will also never get a better split.

He and his team are calculating everyones fight date as always so he doesnt actually line up to fight them or he sets himself up for a certain mismatched opponent.

Look at his 8 month Stiverne situation he dragged out while calling everyone out, he fought Ortiz after Stiverne and he lucked out .

He knows he has time before Breazeale is called and he will gladly wait bc he knows the WBC lets him do whatever .

This will all eventually backfire on him if Martin , Takam and Whyte wins . The WBC will soon be the Joshua rankings , i wouldn't be shocked if they take Povetkin out of top 10 for damage control or either Whyte or Parker . lol

Joshua is -2000 against Povetkin. He's only -225 against Wilder. Meaning the experts consider it 10x more likely that AJ beats Povetkin than AJ beating Wilder.

Povetkin was always who Hearn wanted next because it's the much much safer fight. The 10x safer fight, in the eyes of everyone except brainwashed AJ fans who believe everything Hearn says on IFL.

^I agree with everything you've stated. I'm just not 100% convinced AJ will just walk right through Povetkin after how he looked against Joesph Parker...........terrible.

parker got a %



so the question is why isn't wilder getting a % when they can make more money from wilder vs aj compared to aj vs parker


its really that simple and dont compare AJ to floyd or manny ffs they are on different levels

[bigjavi973]

I stopped reading when you said “four belts”

[Ray*]

What is my bias? Hearn & Finkel clearly aren't on the same page. You have a bizarre unsupported conspiracy theory. DAZN & SHO are going to be major enemies. Very unlikely Team AJ & Team Wilder are in cahoots right now.

Good for your opinion. I have mine and it’s the opposite of your.

didnt u get the memo? wilder has the important belt, apparently.....

lol...He was going to do the same thing with Klitchko after winning the most PRESTIGIOUS belt and stated he got to pick where the fight happens when it happens and he didn't even have any title defences yet but claimed he was the REAL champion .


Of course that day never came or was going to because the REAL champion stated he was going to purposely wait a full year but then expects Joshua to do the exact opposite ? Joshua literally took months to sign a Klitchko fight in Oct . 2016

[Tyistall]

Yes, the WBC belt is a prestigious belt...when you defend it against top opponents. But when you fight gatekeepers and bums, you devalue the belt like Wilder has. Wilder has avoided not only the best fighters in the division, but he has avoided his mandatories and the best in the WBC ratings too. That's why he will never be on PPV and he will never make more than 2 million for a fight and he will never fill an arena. He should have signed the contract and started training to make 15 million which is more than he's made in his entire career combined. But he is actually turning down all of that money and somehow convincing his fans that it is "crackhead money" and not enough hahahah. And for the last time, stop bringing up the 50 million dollar email, it was pure fiction and fairy tale stuff. A fighter that makes 1 million per fight does not have 50 million to give someone upfront and neither does his team. If they do have 50 million, then they should be paying Wilder a lot more than he gets now hahahahahah
