You make a prescient point regarding the small hats. However I think the first 6 rounds were pretty even between Wilder and Fury. Fury outboxed Wilder pretty clearly in the last 6 but Wilder had those 2 KDs. I've seen much worse decisions personally. Not to antagonize people here but the Ward/Kov I decision makes this look like nothing. I personally had it a draw here. But you're correct that Fury can expect to never get a decision again after his comments about the small hats. They run everything and he won't get a favorable road card ever again, maybe not even at home. -
Joshua still avoided Wilder, who has been exposed as a 1 trick, so what does that make Josh?Originally posted by MisanthropicNY View PostWow, Wilder is pretty pathetic here. He's actually acting like he's got something over Joshua because he got schooled and received a gift draw. Joshua is hurt because overwhelmingly everyone in the world believes Wilder got exposed and Fury got robbed? Not seeing how that makes sense.

Joshua's still the unified champion. His belts would look good on either of these guys going into a rematch. I'm excited to watch a rematch but I would not be upset if either took a fight with Josh first.
Also, why is it fans want to keep the lineal title in name only? Y'all do realize champions who held a belt, a physical belt, back before sanctioning bodies existed had their belts made by fans and given to them by fans right? Why don't we do this anymore? The lineal title is a half assed title because the fans that uphold the lineal traditions uphold them half-assedly. Tyson Fury deserves a belt. Y'all young people throw up social media charity campaigns for everything under the sun, you can get TF a belt, and, it is the proper way to uphold lineal traditions. Tyson should have had more that a title in words alone.
The first championship belt in history was commissioned by King George and given to Tom Cribb in 1810. It was a lion skin belt with a gold plate. I would love to see Tyson Fury wearing the British Lion belt can you dig it?
I brought this up back when Ring stripped him and when folks needed to explain Ring isn't lineal to other folks. He could have had a belt when he walked into that fight. He could next time he walks into that fight. He beat the decade long reigning champion. He went toe to toe and is the popular vote for having won the fight against the most dangerous puncher in the division. He should have a belt. Since he should have a belt and we are utterly useless I'd understand his wanting to see AJ to lift his titles back off Joshua before fighting Wilder.Comment

****** 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.Originally posted by EasternEuroFan View Post
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.Comment

Luis Ortiz could walk into a maggot farm covered in feaces and not draw flies. The only people who think Ortiz is top tier are Wilder fanboys and Luis Ortiz.Originally posted by Scipio2009 View Post
Joshua and whyte 2 will sell more PPVs than Ortiz with anyone...even Joshua.
Warren was on UK radio this morning talking up the Joshua fight...it would be piss my pants funny if that fight happened in April...would be interesting to see how much of a PPV star Wilder is without an illustrious dance Partner.Comment

Wilder made $4 mil to fight Fury + PPV percentage. Could have made $15 and a lower % but with more buys would have made up for that to come to the UK to fight Joshua. Wilder's fake $50 offer doesn't really count to anyone.Originally posted by Level37scythe View PostComment

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!!!!Comment

. No one has talked about Joshua since I don’t know how long. And we’re planning on keeping it that way, to show them.
Great fight on Saturday and one of the first people mentioned in the ring was AJ. His name wasn’t needed.Comment
