Comments Thread For: Joshua Signs Three-Year Contract With Matchroom, Sky Sports

[Boxingfanatic75]

Let me ask you a honest question. How fair will it be to you if you are the promoter of a champ with 3 of the 4 major belts with sell out capacity and ppv in an undisputed championship match, your champ will earn appropriately X3 of his regular pay while the other champ goes home with appropriately X25 of his regular pay.

This is what the wilder boys want so they can be happy. unfortunately it's not going to happen.

In as much as he is a champ, he is bringing nothing to this fight but a green belt. The belt could as well be bought and 15mil is too good to be rejected for a single belt.

No other champ received 15mil for their belts in unification.

Wilder is only prolonging his days as champ, that's all.

Prolonging is your opinion. 70-30 is fair....no one signs for a flat 15 that’s just bs and every boxing fan (minus fan boys) knows this to be true

matchroom is buying that belt. wilder brings nothing but the green belt for undisputed.
No drawing power
No ppv
Can't fill a 20k arena.
So what's his contribution to the revenue generation? You can't reap where you did not sew, that is stealing from AJ.

And AJ I guess won’t capture that last (and might I add most important) title

[champion4ever]

Just need wilder to find his pen now so he can start his new contract off with a knock out

Do you mean before or after Povetkin? If you mean after Povetkin yeah you are right. That pen is gone and is never coming back again but before Povetkin he had that pen already to sign and was just about ready to get in Joshua's ass but at the 11th hour, Eddie Hearn's Fax machine broke down. He couldn't fax back that revised contract with the date and venue on it that he promised. He had three extra weeks to send back that revised contract for Wilder to sign before finalizing Povetkin but he mysteriously never got his fax machine repaired. Therefore, Hearn saved AJ by protecting him from an impending ass whooping because he wasn't ready to fight Wilder just yet

One of the obvious will definitely happen.
1. It's either wilder comes to AJ.
2. The belt comes to AJ, or
3. Someone else comes to AJ with the belt.
Which ever way, the division will be unified.

In that case wilder has gone back to fighting his unranked opponents.
Not a bad way to start again.

Does he really needs to be promoted in the UK?

1) not gonna happen
2) how it’s just the WBC there are 3 other belts that’ll most likely mandate AJ before Wilder
3) again won’t happen

If Wilder wins do you go into 1 year hibernation from the forum?

Joshua's star is already built. He is at the stage he doesn't need a promoter.

Bad move especially for up to 3 years.

[PunchyPotorff]

So he'll be held 3 additional years in protective custody damn one could think Wilder was a bonafide ********* or some mass murderer by the fear he instills in this man

5 years pro approx vs 10 years pro approx... yet Joshua has fought much better competition. And Joshua has already said many times he wants to fight Wilder. The fight will happen soon enough.
