Comments Thread For: Wilder: Joshua Was Just a Coward, Turned From $50 Million

[allen23]

A man who can go on to make much more.

Maybe you should ask why Wilder is fighting Fury for no titles for presumably less money, than a $15m minimum guarantee and 3 belts against Joshua?

You won't though.

hes fighting fury as its the next biggest fight and also if he wins it gives him strong power at the negotiation table. 50m is the largest amount any heavyweight was ever offered and joshua turned it down. hes a businessman yes i get it, and i like joshua he seems like a stand up guy but hes lost credibility with all this nonsense

AJ can't piss clean for WBC program so he won't be fighting Wilder until then.

[James Hunt]

He is talking the truth who turns down 50 millons

Maybe someone who is refused to have a meeting about those 50M, someone who is not allowed to see the contract about those 50M, and someone who is the A-side and doesn't want the opponent's promoter to promote and control the fight.

Has Floyd ever, when he was already a star and the A-side, sold out his A-side position and allowed opponent's promoter to control the fight?

You're talking nonsense.

Wilder himself admitted he has never been tested by the CBP outside of being in camp for fights.

He hasn't been tested out of camp.. at all by VADA.

AJ pays for VADA to test him voluntarily for all his fights and has done since Klitschko. The same VADA overseeing the duties within the CBP.

Neither fighter then... Has been tested outside of camp by VADA, which leaves wilder just as open to the insinuation of PEDS as Joshua by your logic.

Maybe you should inform yourself first. In at least all championship fights AJ's been enroled in VADA testing. Don't be like your beloved president Trump and spread blatant lies.

No more so a coward than Wilder who turned down a minimum 400% increase on his biggest ever payday. Yes the offer could have been for more - and he's currently sitting on an improved offer with a bigger % split than Parker had - but if you want to cherry pick facts to look more favourably upon yourself, then I refer you back to my first sentence.
At the end of the day both sides want to have as many things - especially location - in their favour as possible.
They are not going to get a bigger location for the fight than Wembley stadium, which could hold over 100,000 fans if given dispensation by the mayor of London. While that would not normally suit Wilder's predominently East coast USA fanbase or US networks timing-wise, the main event could always slip from 10pm to midnight UK time to split the difference fairly. I can see how 4 hours early or late would be to much to ask for either side.

Where was the proof that wilder came up with the money??? There isnt any! Its all just talk (from both sides)and the only people who buy into any of it are f**ktards. Fair play to wilder for trying to raise his profile/value, and fair play to AJ for still trying to make the fight. When hearn realises that wilder is known in the UK and US then he will be forced to make a fair offer. Until then this one aint happening.

[ShoulderRoll]

Who asks for $50 million and then turns it down when it is actually offered to him?

Only a bullshitting coward, that's who.

While he has the WBA belt he's subject to random testing by VADA
