Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: Joshua Did NOT Want To Step Up - Fury Did!

[PBR Streetgang]

While the feces slinging from both fighters, their teams and their throngs can be occasionally entertaining, it does get old.

Essentially, it devolves into a "You did it! No you did it!" argument back and forth.

You're the one who didn't step up.
You are the most uncooperative B-side in boxing history.
All you had to do was to sign the contract they sent you.
You let it rot for 2 weeks disrespecting AJ's mandatory obligation.
AJ would have lost one of his titles had he waited for a clown like you.
Only reason why you are fighting Fury now is because you think he's not ready yet.
You would have ducked him like you ducked Klitschko 2 years ago.

It's pretty simple. Lets forget the $80 million AJ turned down.

Wilder agreed to the $15 mil flat fee but wanted the fight this year. Hearn never intended to have the fight this year, which is why he left the date and venue blank on the contract. Then Hearn said they have 24 hrs to sign with Povetkin or they get stripped. About 2 weeks later they signed Povetkin.

Time to move on dude. Only worry about things YOU can control.

I’m going to try and be neutral here but let me reminded you Aj asked for 50 million and wouldn’t accept the offer that he asked for . Why ? Team AJ thought it was all a stunt and wanted proof of funds , wilders team showed them the money was real , then team AJ wanted to know the location of the fight which would have been Vegas, then Hearn wanted to know what channel would carry the fight , then finally team Aj said no deal we want the fight in the U.K.. Why didn’t they say that in the beginning instead of misleading everyone into thinking the fight would happen. It also stalled time therefore forcing Aj to make his mandatory. The offer wilder accepted 15 million was also supposed to have a rematch clause and when Hearn sent the contract it didn’t stalling even more time. I think wilder got fed up with it and walked away out of frustration with the verbal agreement and the contract being different. Wilder won’t get 50-50 we all know that but can you tell me another HW in the history of this sport and a fight of this magnitude where one guy took a flat fee ? Wilder is fighting Fury now each guy will make big money and the winner will be recognized as the real HW champ . Aj is now at the moment on the outside looking in .

Fury and Wilder should stop promoting their fights with mentioning Joshua`s name. It `s silly.

It`s like Khan, who mentions Brook and fights Lo greco.

It's crazy. Not only are AJ fans getting sick of Wilder and Fury mentioning his name. Wilder and Fury fans are getting sick of it too. I know I am.

What's amazing is, as far as we know Wilder vs Fury isn't even signed yet.

So you ignored everything prior to this where Hearn was the first to reach out and frustratingly tried to talk to Wilder's 3 managers. How Finkel couldn't even talk face to face with Hearn and Eddie had to send his dad just to make sense of what they were offering. All these took weeks of Hearn's time. This knowing full well that Wilder was the one begging for the fight, "I WANT JOSHUA NOW!" The beggar became a chooser all of a sudden.
Point was, it wouldn't have come to this so-called $50 mil had the beggar fully cooperated in the first place.

4 titles, plus $15 million didn't mean anything to an undeserving clown.
They didn't respect AJ's mandatory obligation as if losing a title without a challenger is just something to sneeze at.

I have no interest in seeing joshua fight anyway. He's a pretty basic bread & butter guy just with a silly looking heavy steroid abuse physique. He reminds me of Alistair Overeem pre-crackdown & the same type of people worship him. I wish he was facing a younger Povetkin who would knock him out in 6.

Fury vs Wilder is way more fun. A far more interesting clash of styles.
