Comments Thread For: Wilder: Joshua Getting What's Deserved; Ain't About Him No More

[Curt Henning]

Povetkin is no mug, Klitschko is no mug, Parker was no mug, whyte is no mug, brezeale is no mug so I don’t really understand what it is that you are saying. I’d like to see fights between these three but no need to become delirious about it. The major earner in the division is not being left out in the cold these two are only kidding themselves. It’s liek Golovkin and Jacobs saying they are going to leave Canelo in the cold. Not really as he doesn’t need you to make big money, you need him to make big money

why do people act like AJ has done something special to warrant his paydays?

if wilder was AJ hed be making that money...if wilder was a UK olympian he would be in AJs position....conversely if AJ was born in america and went to the olympics hed be in the same position as wilder..making the same money

people talk as if AJ has done something special or extraordinary to earn the money he gets

The biggest draw in the division? AJ is just a rumor outside of the UK. He has drawn zero, zilch outside of home. If he can get $20 million for a Whyte rematch, I think they'll buy any shiney thing over there. I might invest in some beads and hand held mirrors and trade with the natives.

Yes, AJ is the biggest draw in the Heavyweight division. He sells more PPV in the UK alone than Wilder/Fury will do in both the UK and the USA. He sells more tickets to one of his fights than Fury or Wilder can sell in 5 fights. So stop with this delusion.

AJ sells his fights to 192 countries in the world. How many does Wilder sell?

Wilder can't sell at home, forget anywhere else. Why, do you think Wilder is a draw at home do you? Haha. Which country is Wilder a draw in outside of the US?

I can see why you'd be a Wilder fan. You have the same "Logic" and IQ as Wilder himself. Haha.

Wilder should fight Joshua next take his belts while working on his boxing skills try get fury to fight Ortiz hoping fury loses which he won't and then fight fury in rematch much bigger fight with all stake n the line. Wilder gone need a little more practice to beat fury outright. Joshua that's an easy fight for wilder for joshua doesn't move and easy to hit plus usually gets caught so I don't see him taking Wilder shots all night. Plus it'd give him more credibility and practice plus make the rematch with fury like 3-5x bigger

Wilder struggles with bums and loses to a 50% Fury but you think he easily beats AJ? The best in the division? Hahaha.

You Americans want putting down. You're way too crazy foe words.

[Sid-Knee]

Why has Eddie Hearn gone so quiet normally after a big fight he would be everywhere on youtube taking interviews from IFL/Fight club etc sharing his thoughts etc.

He's in the US trying to get that coward Wilder into the ring and get a deal done. I don't hold out any hope though. Wilder just lost to a 50% Fury so he knows in his heart AJ would brutally hurt him and end his life. Wilder's never wanted that fight. He wants it much less now.

it’s ton bad you are still on this board and even worse with nothing good to say . Hate to break thie news to you midget diiiik but the British judge scored it a draw just like I had it . Dan Rafael has it 114-112 wilder , espn had it 114-112 wilder as did other . How about praising both guys . Fury for being so excellent defensively and showing true grit getting up in the 12rd and for wilder knowing he was behind and needed something big and he delivered it.

Who cares what that fat piece of **** or ESPN think? The only ones that matter are those who scored it to Fury. The vast majority are right, the few idiots who can't accept it will go with Wilder. But we'll just laugh at you.

[Sid-Knee]

The Wilder hatred is real. I think the fight made him and Fury stars in the US.

They're saying the PPV did about 300,000 sales. You think that's enough to make them stars? Hahahahahaha.

Yeah, i'm sure they'll be asked to Buckingham palace to meet the queen soon enough. Haha.

Wilder made a new fan out of me in his last two fights. He was carefully managed up to that point so I didn't necessarily want to see him rewarded with a big money cash-out AJ fight. But now I want to see him knock Joshua's ducking ass out. Joshua gets KOed by him. Hope they make that fight.

How can you admit that Wilder was carefully managed but then go on to claim that AJ ducked him?

With that level of intellect it's no wonder you like Wilder.

[Sid-Knee]

****** is quite early with the numbers, but they're already pegging Wilder-Fury at having done over 300k on the PPV for the early projection, and that's without counting the PPVs that came straight to Showtime through their app.

It's not Joshua money but, if the projections trend as usual, the total US PPV buys on the fight would top 400k (@$65/$75 per PPV, we're talking about the US TV money being worth $15m). With the gate at Staples Center topping $3.5m, who knows how much from UK TV, the event sponsors, the closed circuit, et, Wilder and Fury may end up splitting well north of $20m, with the rematch possibly set to double that.

No one in the United States will care about Joshua's next fight if it's not against Wilder or Fury, just as few cared about the Povetkin fight after they honey****ed the public on wanting the Wilder fight.

No one is going to care about Joshua vs Whyte 2, and few will care about Joshua vs Usyk either. And, the moment that the British public sees Anthony Joshua sticking to fighting second and third tier fighters, while Tyson Fury is mixing it up with Wilder and Luis Ortiz, possibly Juggernaut etc, the spectacle of the Anthony Joshua Show will lose its luster rather quickly.

He'd be a super-sized Joe Calzaghe, but he'd still be Joe Calzaghe.

Wilder and Ortiz are top tier? No, they are not. Neither has done **** to prove that. And after the weekend with Fury, Wilder has been shown to be the fraud smart people saw him to be all along. It's only the dregs that think otherwise.

[Sid-Knee]

I know a lot of you don't read everyone's comments BUT I CALLED THIS. I said AJ after this fight would be out in the cold holding his crumpets and look at him now.

Three belts and NO RESPECT!!!

You guys can say what you want but Wilder-Fury was a GREAT FIGHT and BOTH guys are all over the media and are being recognized as the Heavyweight champions.

NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT JOSHUA!

PERIOD!!!

Yeah he can keep fighting and beating guys for top dollars, Whyte-Joshua 2 might sell in the UK who knows but while he is beating up steroid using cruiser weights he is becoming irrelevant. If things go right he might not get to fighter NEITHER Wilder nor Fury before 2020 at the earliest and that is what he deserves.

He overplayed his hand and now he looks like a DAMN FOOL!!!

Couldn't happen to a more DESERVING DUCKING ASS COWARD!!!!

No one is talking about Joshua? Apart from Wilder and the likes of you it seems.

Wilder just lost to a steroid using fat man who was at 50%. Let that sink in.

[Sid-Knee]

What you fail To recognize is the average person, casual or hardcore wants to see the rematch, only Joshua fan boys are so delusional to be talking about fury Joshua, only reason wilder brings up Joshua is to rub in the truth.. you Joshua nut gobblers need to drop the word domestic from your vocabularies no one wants to hear it we talking about world level here and the wolrd wanna see wilder fury rematch

AJ vs Fury wouldn't be world level, but Wilder, who just got embarrassed by Fury, would be world level?

Delusional did you just say? Go and use Google to see what irony is. The first thing you'll see in the results is the map of the USA. Work it out. Haha.
