Comments Thread For: Joshua To Wilder: If You Believe You Can Win - Sign Contract!

[Scipio2009]

Google it pal . Have you ever heard of an extension? Anyway it’s not my job to try and convince you. You are probably right in terms of the PPV in the states. However factor in the continent of Africa ow much will the sell Tv rights to Nigeria for example. Both Fighters of Nigerian Descent. If Joshua can make Wilder accept the 15 million flat fee I have hit my target or at least a realistic amount for you to back up and let me breathe

If they could extend the venue 20000 seats beyond what Froch-Groves 2 did, why wouldn't they have done that for Joshua-Klitschko already, lol?

And SuperSport purchases the rights to the basically any fight worth watching and broadcasts it across all of Sub-Saharan Africa. They're not going to bid against themselves.

Lol

[Oshio]

That is what it is, I believe Wilder is not that confident of himself as he wants us to believe

Lol

Froch groves was 80,000 and they extended to 90,000 for AJ vs Klitschko. Now is extended to 100,000. Why don’t you google it instead of replying for the sake of it. The super sport you spoke of although I have not research it to see it you are right but probably makes sense so thanks for the knowledge

[Raggamuffin]

****en gutless stiff ass. Where’s Hearn? He hasn't been talking since Wilder Fury could become a real possibility lmao.

[peplz]

yeah and the $50mil was a legit offer that hearn convinced aj to turn down, we will not let that slide and allow you all to keep pushing the lie that it was a PR stunt when hearn himself acknowledged it was real. we can leave it at that.

The 50 million dollar offer was a complete publicity stunt. You know it and so does everyone else. Its the only reason that you keep bringing up. You think that it makes Deontay Wilder look good and makes Anthony Joshua look bad. And this is the exact reason that he put that offer out on social media first. I don't see Deontay Wilder sending out blow by blow press releases about his supposed negotiations with Tyson Fury. Maybe Deontay Wilder can actually come up with the money. But that is besides the point. He made this offer in response to an interview that Anthony Joshua did. This was not part of negotiations. This was just two guys trying to one up each other through the media. You can say that Wilder won that game but claiming that the offer was real is ridiculous. I don't follow Eddie Hearn like you. So I don't know everything that he has said. But I know he has said the same things that I am saying also. Look man you and I are never going to see this same way. I had moved on from this debate but you seem to not be able to let it go so I will oblige you.

Interesting, Americans used to love Floyd for the same reason they now hate Joshua.

The casuals might get bored soon.

His fight v Povetkin is nowhere near sold out yet. His fights v Takam and Parker were lacklustre and that's reflecting on the sales of the upcoming fight.

Joshua does incredible numbers, no doubt, but a lot of people that go see him do not really follow boxing. It's just an event. once it's no longer providing the excitement it once did and the novelty wears off, they will go find something new.

He's still sold a lot of tickets for the next fight and it might eventually sell out but that's how it starts. Ticket sales get slower, then eventually they just get less and less.

yeah, Joshua is Mayweather of hw division. Wilder is Berto, lol.

Ergh Jesus, *****ing Yanks just talking **** all the time. AJ is the A side. THE A SIDE! By a long way too. Lets put stats (and the **** list of fighters Wilder has shared the ring with) aside. AJ has 3 of the 4 major belts...why is this not a 75/25 split? AJ is bringing far more to the table in terms of belts than Wilders WBC.

Does anyone other than Wilder ****suckers really think that Wilder will ever be remembered as the greatest Heavyweight of this era? NOT A CHANCE. He will be the man that realised he got ***** all from being under Finkel/Hayman and that he could make, whatever Hearn is offering, in one fight, maybe two if there is a rematch, maybe a trilogy. This could be a decision that he will regret for the rest of his lide.

Just a google search for Net worth has AJ valued at THREE times what Wilder is worth so Wilder should be getting on his knees and begging Hearn for this opportunity. AJ just signed a 3 year extension worth in the region of £100m, that's $130m to you Yanks. Who is doing better in life based on those numbers? If its all about Money and the glory, Wilder needs to bend over and take whatever Hearn has to offer.

All of these cries that say 'British Fanboys', 'Eddie Hearn this and Eddie Hearn that', 'AJ is a cash cow'...Jesus. You are all just following what Deontay says on social media and jumping on it like its stone cold fact.

'I'm the best fighter in the world, Luis Ortiz is number 2'...Really Deontay, Really?

'Eddie Hearn is milking AJ'...so, when you demandg a 50-50 split when you are the clear B side isn't the same thing at all is it???

Deontay; 'Here's $50million to fight, but you can't see the money or see a contract, you have to just accept it, oh and fight is in America, no discussion, take it or leave it' - Eddie; 'I will give you more money than you've ever made and a bonus fight, again, for more money than you've ever made in 1 fight and a rematch clause in the contract' - Deontay 'I'm the greatest, I want a new deal'

AJ only wants Wilder because of the belt. When Fury beats Wilder, AJ will want Fury for the belt and Wilder will probably go bat**** crazy like Charles Martin and then eat a bullet for missing out on £20m.

Finkel had Haymon provide them with proof of funds. Hearn even came out & said it was really there. Some of these posts are mind boggling. It’s as if Joshua & Hearn are paying your bills. AJ won’t pose for pics with his fans most of the time. I don’t get the infatuation but to each his own.
Regardless, the $50 million was there & AJ even said he would take less because he didn’t want to cheat his fans in the UK.

I am quite frankly tired of both camps.

AS I said before and will say it again:
They might be working together just to hype up the fight and stick it to us so we pay anything they ask for it.

Wilder does not have the 50 million, that is BS.
Hearn doesn’t want to make that fight right now, anything else he says wanting it now is pure BS too.

F U C K both parties until the fight is actually made.

Let’s talk boxing instead of speculating at all times about these 2 divas.

While Joshua was initially skeptical of the high offer, Hearn confirmed that it's legitimate and the money is there.

Even with $50 million on the table, Joshua is willing to make less money in order to face Wilder in the UK.

If Wilder wins, then Joshua is willing to make the rematch in the United States.

"It's the general opinion of myself, AJ and Rob McCracken [Joshua's trainer] that because of the status of AJ in the fight and what we've built over here in the U.K. that we should try and get it over here because he has earned the right for that fight over here," Hearn told Nick Parkinson.

"If Wilder wins, the rematch can be over there in America. We are going back and forth with talks at the moment and I'm confident we can make that fight. AJ appreciates he might not make as much money by fighting in the U.K. but realises that Wilder should be coming to the U.K. to fight first."

Joshua has grown accustomed to having massive crowds at his events, which recently range from 76-90,000 fans packing a stadium.
