But if he had confidence he could beat Wilder, he would take the fight.I think it's moreso because Joshua is already highly lucrative, and a loss could stop the gravy train. He's still young, so there's no point in taking a high-risk-high-reward fight when low-risk-high-reward fights are available. These guys are businessmen at the end of the day.
Because beating Wilder and unifying the entire heavyweight division would make him an even bigger star than he already is. Every single fight he takes for the rest of his career would be bigger if he beat Wilder.
He'd be the undisputed heavyweight champion -- the first since Lennox Lewis and only the third undisputed champion in any weight class since Jermain Taylor.
If he thinks he can beat Wilder and doesn't take the fight, that's even worse business than taking a risky fight. It's only good business to avoid Wilder if he thinks he will lose.Comment

you are like one of the last fanboys standing that call the 50mil fake, a lot of them have had to admit it.
IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (21-0, 20 KOs), and his promoter Eddie Hearn, are standing firm with their position that a unification with WBC champion Deontay Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs) takes place on UK soil.
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 stadiumComment

Warren: Real Answer Is Joshua's Team Doesn't Want Wilder Fight
yep, that is clearly obvious
not sure how/why the fanboys would want to defend it
no big deal, that fight is not even due yet..... it is clearly obvious what they are doing, and it is clearly obvious why..... that fight will happen in good time
it would likely happen sooner if the Joshua fanboys kept it realComment

both camps make less money FROM THAT ONE FIGHT
but Joshua makes a LOT more money, by keeping the train rollingComment
