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

[EnglishOxide]

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?

And we know that AJ/Klitschko peaked at over 700k viewers on HBO. But I guess they don't know who he is, huh.

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.

What fake numbers? Do the maths!

It would take approx 1.2m US PPV buys at $75 just to pay Joshua and the networks considering they're known to take around 50%.

Wilder v Fury just did 300k.

If you can't see that AJ earning/being offered 5x more than Fury to fight in the US makes him undeniably the bigger draw then I don't know what to tell you.

And we know that AJ/Klitschko peaked at over 700k views on HBO and has been on plenty of major talkshows. So don't act like he's unknown.

I called this before it happened!

I honestly wanted this.

Fury and Wilder considered CHAMPIONS and AJ left in the cold beating his tea and crumpets!!!

He literally played himself so no one cares about your demands NOW!!!

Fury and Wilder can possibly get 3 more fights out of this rivalry while you keep beating up postmen and Uber drivers!

You are declaring you have a date and venue but where was this bravado when you KNEW you were screwing Wilder over in negotiations.

Remember the he needs to humble himself and take what I give him comments?

Hurts a little now doesn’t it?

You are looking in the window and NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU

How on earth is Wilder considered a champion?., he was owned, owned so bad most of the American boxing community thinks he lost...and Fury doesn't have a belt...****in lineal....don't make me laugh. Do you know what's lineal?, the washing line that I dry my pants on...and its a belt that hold my pants up....

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!

Which is why I don't understand why AJ doesn't want the Fury fight more than Wilder, right now! Fury is the hottest ticket! I think Joshua vs. Fury could be the biggest Heavyweight fight, outside the U.S., since Ali vs. Frazier in Manila!

We are all more interested in Wilder v Fury ......A.J. has missed the boat but can't yet see it. The calculated risk that he and the Hearns took by swerving Wilder is backfiring and with their list of possible victims for April looking grim it could get worst. I can't wait for the rematch between this pair who are Taylor made for another exciting fight.

Wilder doesn't wanna fight AJ. Coward!

Sure he wants to fight AJ but he wants to honor his commitment to fight Fury first. I can't believe you are actually implying that Wilder is a coward just because he has some scruples.

[OldTerry]

Wilder has always blab about “Only one name” BS, now he has a shot at history but he prefers to fight feather fisted Fury cos he knows he is going to get beaten by AJ. Wilder is yellow, a darn chicken!

So you and blokes like you think you can insult Wilder into doing AJ's bidding? That doesn't sound very mature to me.

[OldTerry]

Why has he booked a date and venue with no foe. What of the foe cant make that date or venue. Seems pointless, unless that foe has already been decided and will get announced on december 22nd. Maybe im just cynical

I don't think you're cynical, just a realist.

Fury dominated Klitchko and showed he's just in another league than the likes of Anthony Joshua. AJ has accomplished a lot sure but he's gone as far as he can go. He knows Wilder and Fury beat him so he's gonna keep talking about his past glories of olympic gold medals and will boast about having a bunch of successful title defense (a number that should rise with his low level competition). He also can say he KO'd an old Klit and he swells with pride when he talks about that past success. Look at the end of the day he has fear in his heart. He wants no parts of Wilder or Fury so he will price himself out of any negotiations by demanding all the money shamelessly. We all know what he's doing. He's following the Gennady Golovkin blueprint of being spoon fed soft competition to try to accumulate a lot of title defenses. Those brits will buy anything so he will keep giving them the crap fights they love because their standards are so low that they will gobble it up anyways. That doesn't fly in the greatest country in the world, and thats why he can never rise to the level of a Deontay Wilder.

If Wilder wants to be the best he needs and must fight AJ, He has an improved offer with a fight first in UK then USA. How can anyone call AJ a ducker when at 19 fights he was fighting a unification fight, while wilder was fighting bums, come on mate, AJ ain’t no ducker, his resume says all, he fought his mandatories and has 4 belts in half the fights Wilder has fought!
