Now that they realized Wilder and Fury can put on a show without Joshua they're trying to make noise for their guy. I like Joshua but let's be honest. He's making bank fighting lesser guys and fans are still willing to shell out money to go see him in stadiums. Life is gravy when you can have it like that. Wilder and Fury had to face each other to get fans interested and that just shows that they're willing to take risks.

I always thought it was obvious wilder was preventing the fight. I dont believe hes scared of AJ but hes narcisstic and egotistical and wont accept he is the B side and be realistic about what he brings to the table

Doesn't strike you oddly that AJ and Hearn choose the biggest fight of his career to start nickel and diming folks?
Every other big fight, he paid what they were worth to him, AJ.
Martin got more than AJ to sell his belt, Wlad got half for his status, Parker got 35% for his belt.
Well, Wilder is worth more to AJ than ALL of them.
Yet, NOW is when they want to talk about what the other guy is worth?
It's a clear tell, Sid.
Wilder is worth at least a 60/40 split if it is in Britain, 50/50 if it is in Vegas.
You may be right about Wilder not making the money anywhere else...but the recent fight and the coming rematch may change that, may have already changed that.
How you came to the conclusion that Joshua should give half the money when he's the one traveling, I don't know. But you Wilder stans do have some really ****ed up ideas.
The fight will be in the UK, not the land of robberies of the US. Just look at what Fury had to go through like all the other overseas fighters fighting over there. No thanks. He'll be getting no more than 35%. Even that is overpaying the fraud. If he doesn't like it, he can go back to fighting for peanuts after the Fury fight while AJ continues to pick up big cheques by fighting the best in the weight class. Anyone who doesn't want to fight the big dog for big money is a coward. Simple as that.

I no longer think that. I think Wilder now deserves at least 45% in Britain based on his successful PPV. That will rise to 50% in Britain if the rematch does as well as I think it will.
I will understand if, just to make the fight in Wembley, Wilder accepts 40%. He once accepted a flat fee which represented about 15 to 20% and even after that AJ balked. If Parker- a much lesser fighter who brought much less to the table- got anywhere from 32.5% to 35% then Wilder is worth more, plain and simple.
And no, there is no guarantee the fight is in Britain. A year ago, I might have agreed. But, given the proffered (and rejected) 50M by Wilder's team and the rumored up to 40M Vegas site fee that was on the table earlier this year it just isn't realistic to think a Wembley fight makes more money than a Vegas fight- and, they are prizefighters bottom line.
And, you are making an assumption that may not be valid. Who says he will make peanuts after the rematch with Fury? 2018 did more to increase Wilder's profile than all of his previous years combined, the Fury fight especially. The rematch will only continue that. He and Fury are making themselves bonafide PPV attractions in the biggest and most lucrative boxing market there is- something AJ has yet to attempt- so I wouldn't be too sure about who is going to make what going forward.
Lastly, did you actually have the unabashed gall to say "best in the weightclass"?
Really?
All you need do is look at who each guy fought in 2018 to see who is fighting the better competition. Wilder fought 2 guys that AJ avoided while AJ fought 2 guys that avoided Wilder.
This really shouldn't be that difficult for you to get...

2019 will give us Wilder v breazeale in a cowshed in Alabama infront of his family and 5 cows and Breazeales son who will be on a raised seat ringside as per Finkels small print. PPV will only come in at $74.99. Hes had 2 tastes of some actual talent now in Ortiz and Fury and his tongue got burnt i think he will turn and run back to the safety of Finkels bum land.
Fury will fight Joshua at Wembley stadium in April.
