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

[ukbox]

Like who? And for what amount of money?

Fury by the sounds of it & for a lot more than $15mil flat fee

[fullers]

If Joshua thought he could win why didn't he sign guaranteed $50 million contract to fight. His arguments were the same in reverse

[Blond Beast]

90k fans in Wembley.... worth less than 30k-20k in Vegas?

Well Gay-J, you are in the Power Position & you are willing to take less money to fight at home with every conceivable advantage just like with Parker.
How about you & Hernia give this man the money that you should or take the $50 million plus 50% to fight in Vegas.
He should not have made this statement public

A robotic ass statement from a robotic ass fighter

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.

There is zero chance Wilder will get more than $10m from the Fury fight. Zero.

Just read your typical 'should have accepted the $50m you asked for' ****e from the Wilder fans.

He accepted it, asked for a contract and Finkel said 'No you aren't getting a contract, you have 24 hours to accept'. - He said that to the world media...That's not how fights are made. I don't see what is hard for people understand about that?

Equally Wilder accepted all the terms including the flat fee of $15m but then didn't sign. The only reason he didn't sign is because the fight wasn't in September, it's now in April. What difference does it make? - The reason they couldn't put the fight on in September is because this is a one of a kind superfight which needs months to promote properly without it interrupting their respective training camps.

Ultimately both sides are at fault but think about it... Who has negotiated the big fights in of late of the two? It's Matchroom.

This fight is also not worth $100m so the idea that Wilder is being short changed by multiple millions is ludicrous. Hearn should improve his offer to a % but Wilder is still being overpaid and has had another offer of around $7m to fight Whyte/Chisora or Breazeale if he signs to fight Joshua. So for 2 fights he would earn over $20m. Only AJ & Canelo are making that sort of money now.

It’s worth more than $100 million. Sponsors, live gate, US PPV, and factor in that the fight will replay the following week.
The contract sent to Wilder didn’t have the referee or judges & no telling what else missing. If you are an undefeated defending champion, would you sign it?
No, you wouldn’t nor would any human with half a brain.
No rematch for Wilder if he loses but AJ gets a rematch?
Come on man, take an objective look at the whole picture

Oh, did you see the contracts did you?

Thing is, AJ doesn`t need Wilder. He can fight guys like Miller, Whyte, Chisora, Pulev, Ruiz jr..It`s his money, not Wilder`s. AJ is a huge name in Uk and it doesn`t matter who he fights.
