Comments Thread For: Wilder: Joshua Won't Fight Me April 13th; Should Be Embarrassed

Trump is a bit different, that I agree but at least he likes the ladies and not the guys like ***** did. Look up Larry Sinclair press conference on YouTube, it'll open your eyes. And by the way both ***** and Trump would lose to Joshua.

Look up Mitt Romney vs Holyfield....Hell'va Fight.

I’ll have a signed contract with Anthony Joshua’s signature on it sent over to Wilder and Shelly Finkel..... I’m sorry my Britian supports (dummies) I sent the wrong contract, it has my name on it

[Pennsauken1]

I apologize to all my Britian followers for not making the Wilder fight, I tried my hardest to have his team accept a 15 million flat fee, while we get the other 85 million dollars of the fight, I’m hoping he accepts the same contract for April 13, if I can not make the fight, I will be selling $5 soccer seats with $2 draft beers and $1 hot dogs for Dillion Whyte or the winner of the Charr vs Oquendo, I know you dummies will accept any fight I make in our great Queenland and 90,000 will come together strong, please accept my apologies

Wladimir Klitschko hadn't fought in a year in a half and had been removed from the most credible rankings. He was coming off a humiliating defeat where he looked horrible, and previous to that he looked like he was slowing down significantly, even in victory.

All told, it had been about three years since Wladimir had looked like himself. Clearly at 41, coming off a lopsided defeat and a huge stretch of inactivity, it didn't make sense to have him ranked in the top 4 anymore.

The guy was the dominant HW of the last decade, you don’t take him out the rankings because he lost a fight. The lay off was hardly his fault either and not like he had been sitting around either, he was scheduled to fight Fury but Fury messed him around.

Show me some so called credible rankings where Stiverne was top 4 and Wlad wasn’t and I’ll show you some ***** rankings.

What’s funny is I’ve seen a lot revisionist history when it comes to Parker (top 5 when AJ fought him) and Takam (top 10) since they lost, but people still talk about Stiverne as a credible win

I'm so sick and tired of Wilder's bluster and bombast. The bottom line is he doesn't want to risk his title in the U.K, where he might get on the wrong side of a decision.

By the same token, and understandably AJ probably doesn't want to travel to Vegas, I suspect not because he's worried about home cooking, but it makes more sense and dollars to fight in front of 90,000 fans instead of 15,000.

One of them has to travel, and I say the onus is on Wilder. AJ pulls in the crowds and holds 4 out of the 5 belts.

All this crap about fear is just Wilder's pathetic attempt to goad Joshua into signing a contract on his terms. Ain't gonna happen.

What doesn’t make sense to me is how people keep declaring AJ the A-side. And basically feel like Wilder should simply bend over and take whatever AJ offers. What doesn’t add up is that if AJ is such a huge star and Wilder is a nobody. How was Wilder able to offer AJ more guaranteed money for a fight in America than Hearn said the entire event wouldn’t gross in the U.K. That just doesn’t add up. Either the fight is bigger in the US, or Hearn is attempting to lowball the living shi.t outta Wilder.

Wilder just keeps getting more & more press,
and Hearn and Joshua keep talking about him.
They can't keep pretending he's unknown and unworthy of a fair split
if they are just going to keep hyping his name like they have been.
But it doesn't matter because Hearn is already fixing to match AJ
against Whyte or Chisora in April. And British fans will eat it up!

Lets be logical about the numbers for this fight.

Imo this fight does around 300k ppv buys on Showtime let's say at $60 each.
Add that to the 1.5 million buys UK at $25 each.
With a gate of 10 million.

An estimate of around 67 million. Joshua is responsible for 80% of this revenue generated and at a 15 million guarantee that would mean that Wilder would be getting around 22%.

Based on Hearn's estimates he believes that the fight draws around 46-48 million, which probably accounts for Hearn believing the Showtime PPV does around150-200K buys. Giving Wilder around a 30-35% cut.

It humors me that people still feel that the purse for this fight is going to be 100 million dollars.

Y'all cannot be that foolish.

[JRB123]

Lets be logical about the numbers for this fight.

The problem is that people haven't been logical from the jump.

Wilder is fooling nobody. His idea of Joshua avoiding him, is AJ not willing to give the bum 50/50 when he’s fighting can drivers and can’t fill a town hall in Alabama.

I’m no Fury fan, but if Breazeale doesn’t beat him I hope fatty Fury does. At least Fury has the plums to fight Joshua, unlike Wilder, who does most of his talking outside the ring.

Crazier every day with this wilder cat, who is he again?
