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

[gntsfan84]

Wilder talks about Joshua because he is asked about him in every interview, just like Joshua is asked about Wilder.

It's a legit fact that Joshua turned down $50 million but seemed like it was more because he doesn't want the fight to be in Vegas.

Wilder accepted Hearn's offer for $15 million but the contract that was sent over was garbage. Basically, there was no agreed upon date, so they wanted Wilder to sign a contract for some date in the future. If Hearn would have put the date for this year, pretty sure Wilder would have signed. This fight was always going to happen in 2019, just wish Hearn would have been more honest with his intentions. Wembley is no good for fights after September and there was no way Hearn was putting on a PPV fight around the same time as the Canelo vs GGG rematch.

Oh, and while selling out stadiums in the UK is impressive, it's been stated from various sources that 20k seats in Vegas brings in greater revenue then selling out stadiums in the UK. Also, PPVs cost like 20 bucks in the UK and usually over 65 in the US which is why they sell better in the UK.

At the end of the day, the fight will be bigger once we have a winner between Fury and Wilder because the winner will end up facing Joshua to completely unify the division, including the lineal title. I would be surprised if the fight didn't happen by the end of 2019.

When you ask for 50/50 when you generate 2 mil a fight and your opponent generates 20 you are sure as **** looking for handouts.

Well when Wilder guranteed AJ $50 million and anything after that a 50/50 deal well i feel that's a fair deal, wouldn't you agree??

There's no defending turning down a $50M guarantee lol I'm surprised so many try.

They should just say he didn't want the fight, or it didn't make sense right now.

Oscar has done it several times (although the money involved has been different) with little backlash. I don't see why that hasn't been an option for Hearn's team.

This is probably the first and only time you and me will agree on anything...
But you're right! You can't defend turning down a $50 million pay day!
I'm not a fan of Wilder or AJ so I'm just keeping it real.
AJ ducked Wilder. That's all there is to it!

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.

Yes he can make that amount in 3 fights instead of one fight. Longevity is key in boxing. No need to fight wilder and risk being flattened. Instead fight Dillian Whyte, Jarrell Miller. Who wants the most prestigious belt of all the belts Joshua doesn't need it. He has the other 3 belts already.
I thought the answer is obvious why wilder is fighting fury for approx same amount, not less. He gets to fight the lineal champ, the man who beat the man. The lineal champ stepped up where the paper champ or domestic champ refused to even be in the same ring as wilder. This chump only calls out wilder when he is in another country. If wilder in same country he stays quiet and puts a restraining order out. Lol

There was no 50m

Only coward is wilder still going along with this act

Frank warren has recently said the 50m was provided by by sport

Yeah right

Only ******s will Fall for this, all team wilder needed to do was provide a contract and they could not as it did not exist

[1hourRun]

[rudy]

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?

for the record AJ is not unbeaten in 39 fights so this A side rubbish is made up by Hearns and AJ **** Suckers

[Raggamuffin]

He’s such a ****en fool lmao..!!! ****** looking wascalwy wabbit talking ass lmao...
