    Does Deontay Wilder now hold ALL the cards, is he A side now

    Is he the daddy now in the negotiations. Cause AJ needs wilder whereas wilder don’t need AJ no more.

    Wilder said on joe Rogan podcast, that AJ team are calling up wilder team out of desperation now to make the wilder fight.

    Wilder can go to fury, AJ doesn’t really have anywhere to go now.

    Wilder can now make more demands, higher percentage split etc

    How do all you experts see it?

      Nah but he & Fury fighting did deflate Joshua's ball a lil. Hearn is playing it super safe with Joshua doe so its not like they can't pump the ball back up in a fight or two. And Fury or Wilder is gonna be a 2nd tier opponent real soon unless the rematch is a draw too so it'll be one less guy pressing them.

          No I think AJ does, cause wilder ran out of options. AJ can still lure Fury and if he beats Fury that leaves wilder really with no options.

            Im no expert bu I dont think so. AJ's promoter will probably play the video of Fury walking around asking people if they knew who Deontay Wilder is. I believe AJ was always the A side and with that Fury-Wilder robbery, he will have Wilder come to the UK for that fight.

              Nope. He and Fury combined earned what AJ gets for one fight. Without Fury, Wilder has no other options to earn 8-digits. None.

                  Simply answer is no. Wilder is not the a side and doesn’t need Joshua more than vice versus.

                  Joshua’s income in a manadatory or voluntary defence earns him more than wilder did against fury for example.

                  I do think wilders stock has gone up particularly with the contreversy of the draw though which should improve the overall finances and hopefully make it easier to make ; maybe 60/40 is more close to the mark now.

                  Remember while Wilder has largely been facing bums and taken on two decent fights in Ortiz and Fury; Joshua has been unifying or taking on top10 opposition having already fought Takam, Parker, Brezeale, Klitschko, Whyte and Povetkin.

                  Outside of Wilder & Fury he still has Ortiz, Whyte II, Miller and Usyk as main contenders so although everybody would want the wilder or fury fight he does have acceptable alternatives in the short term and with his base in the uk and likely higher % split against these guys may earn more than he would against wilder with only a 60/40 anyway!

                    Not yet, but looking better everyday.
                    Wilder vs Fury 2 is the biggest fight in boxing right now, if it is close, then we'll have a third fight while AJ fights another bum, I don't see AJ fighting Wilder or Fury till 2020, in the meantime a 400k ppv buys at 79.99 will make a ton of money for Wilder and Fury.
