Comments Thread For: Joshua: Wilder is More Interested in Fury - He Has NO Titles!

[PapaBricks]

Let's see Fury earn 50m for his next fight then.

I said Fury is more known in the US then Joshua and that is your response?
Huh?!
What does that have to do with anything?
What was the point your attempting to prove by that statement?

Fury earned 10m, maybe less, fighting Wilder in the US.

Joshua was offered (supposedly) 50m to fight Wilder in the US. To pay Joshua this money before anybody else takes a cut would require 666k PPV buys at $75.

Wilder v Fury only did 300k buys.

So how are you telling us that Fury is the bigger name/draw in the US? Tell me what logic you are using as opposed to the pure maths I've just offered.

First of all stop the with fake numbers.
There is no way for any of us fans to know what ppv number is required for them to break even. Unless the execs or whoever come out and tell us. Cut that **** out. You are not in the office with the accountants.

Wilder vs Fury did 300k ppv numbers. Ok cool.
What does that have to do with my original statement that Fury is more known in the US then AJ after the Wilder fight?

You have nothing to compare it to. AJ has never been on PPV here in the US.
For the past couple weeks all I have been hearing from casuals is about Fury and Wilder. I bring up AJ and only UK or avid boxing fans know him by name. These are the facts.

Who turns down 50 mill (UP FRONT, not including ppv and everything else) to do something they already do for a living?!

AJ has to be pissed at Eddie right now!!
Whoever wins between Wilder and Fury at the point they won't have to offer AJ 50 mill again.

AJ makes 20-25 mill a fight. It ain't like he's strapped for cash. He's already made more than enough money to support his family for generations.

[pillowfists98]

If Wilder's people had 50 million lying around then why didn't he offer Fury 50 million? Is Joshua really 5x more of a star in the US than Fury? Would have Joshua vs Wilder sold 1.5 million PPV buys? Cause that's what it would have taken for them to pay Joshua and for everybody else involved to make any money.

[Califire209]

Don't really get the understanding of Wilder's fans believing the legitimacy of the 50million.. Why no contract sent, why giving 24hours ultimatum to agree to the terms when there's not even terms to agree to, to me it's just bs, flat fee or not at least AJ team sent contracts.

You can bite on the 50 million, but you don't have nothing to say when I stated AJ can't come to the states like a man and sit ringside for the Wilder/Fury fight...

[champion4ever]

You had your chance and blew it. You have no one else to blame but yourself. Continue to fight your stiff bum of the month club while real boxing fans will tune in and watch real heavyweight boxing.

It's a really bad look for Joshua and Hearn to be so keen on this fight now after the Fury-Wilder fight has made them significantly less relevant. It used to be that Wilder-Joshua was the only fight anybody cared about, now with the Wilder-Fury rematch on the table that's not the case. Joshua can probably have the Wilder fight in April if he really wants it but Hearn is going to have to make Wilder a really good offer - any funny business like last time and Wilder can just say "f it" and fight Fury in a match that's already been sanctioned by the WBC, is guaranteed to do good money and will probably be in the US again - and then if he wins Joshua's position gets even weaker.

The mute is now loud, feel left out already, mmm!

Because belts are useless trinkets especially If you win them fighting a paper champion who got the vacant IBF thanks for a injury his opponent sustained when he slip, Wladimir was beaten already by Tyson Fury without struggle, life and death battle. In that process you got the vacant WBA and then you fought a unknown Paper Chump of New Zealand who got the WBO thank for a home gift decision against Andy Ruiz. IBO, let's don't talk about that, is garbage. Tyson Fury fought the boogeymen man WBC champ Wilder in his country in one of the best comeback and now they are the talks everywhere and you get left out for fighting safety fights in your stadiums of your country. Get your daddy Eddie Hearn and give the WBC the respect he merit with a 65/35 as a minimum in your favor.

“Let me say this, I can’t control what Deontay Wilder or what Tyson Fury does or even as far as what they say - but what I can control is what I say.." - Anthony Joshua

"If it is a $100 million fight and they are happy with taking 60-40, I'll take 50-50. Give me $50 million dollars up front and I swear I'll take that fight tomorrow," - Anthony Joshua

No one believes what you say anymore! That ship sailed!

The issue with AJ is Hearn.

Hearn wants to get the very best money deal for AJ, but the deal for Wilder is less than a Fury fight!
