Good sensible comments.Ortiz's last 5 wins are no better than Povetkin's, and I'll just leave it there since I liked Ortiz's wins. The difference is, Ortiz didn't sit on the shelf for a year for roids. You know at the end of the day that Joshua's win is equal to Wilder's at best, given their ages and circumstances. Hope you can at least tell the truth about that.
Wilder-Fury brought in more than Joshua-Povetkin, and Joshua-Parker, and that was reported on this site. I never said Wilder makes more than Joshua, but his PPV debut did bring in more than Joshua's last 2 performances, and the rematch likely will too. Nationality has nothing to do with the ability to count lol.
You can do your little blah blah about A-side status, but Wilder is bringing in more revenue than Joshua with 25% of his PPV viewership, and is in the same league pay wise as well. He offered $50M, accepted the $15M lowball, but he's the diva? Joshua said he wants to make less money to fight at home, but he's NOT the diva? I guess we'll have to agree to disagree because that's unadulterated bull**** lol
Ignore sidknee, he is the worst AJ loving troll on here. Don't try to use logic or facts with him, he won't understand.Comment

I tend not to get too involved in all this crap but feel like something should be mentioned here: Anthony Joshua is an Ambassador to Sky Sports. He is no doubt contracted (which is generally legally binding) to fight on Sky Sports. The only reason the rival were putting up the money was in order to get Joshua on their network, which simply would not fly with Joshua being in a legally binding contract with Sky Sports.The level of spin doctoring that people are achieving to protect Joshua is truly alarming. Apparently Hearn couldn't accept $50M because most of the money was coming from BT Sport, a rival network. So never mind that Hearn flat out said that Joshua values fighting at home over maximizing profit. Never mind that HBO and Showtime came together to put on the biggest fight in history. A promoter is choosing to decline a deal BECAUSE A RIVAL IS OFFERING TO PAY FOR THE MAJORITY OF HIS FIGHTER'S PURSE, WHILE STILL SPLITTING THE POT DOWN THE MIDDLE.
People really lie to protect people they don't know. I don't get it.
It's laughable to expect something like that to fly... nor is it reasonable to expect Sky to pay for the privilege of showing Joshua in the UK when they have already paid for that privilege.
This isn't the same situation as HBO and Showtime over in the States where networks can work together because unlike those Joshua is directly funded by Sky.Comment

Agreed, but what's stopping the fight going ahead in April now? Fury is in no rush it seems because he wants the fight in the UK because he believes he won. Breazeale is AJs leftovers, so no credit there. AJ has to give Wilder a bigger purse because they can't use the same excuse of him not being known, everyone in the UK was talking about the Fury fight. He'll make bank and gain 2 titles.The level of spin doctoring that people are achieving to protect Joshua is truly alarming.

Parker won his WBO title on December 2016 and attempted to unify with Joshua on the 31st of March this year. Wilder had at least a year to make a unification fight with Parker if he wanted to. Should he have won that he could legitimately ask for 50/50 split with Joshua in an undisputed fight.Comment

Couple of contenders in a row after nothing BUT cans for 40 fights. Oh yeah man, you're setting all kinds of records as greatest ever. All other HWs must be soooo jealous.

They didn’t want the fight. What the hell is Wilder supposed to do? At the time he was high risk low reward.Parker won his WBO title on December 2016 and attempted to unify with Joshua on the 31st of March this year.
