AJ vs miller lol

[Phenom]

It has to be really embarrassing to be forced out of your own date at wembley they really have no claim to being the A side anymore after such a beta move

Not familiar with this writer, but not buying at all his assertion "self-imposed wilderness" for Joshua. Yes, THE biggest $$ fight for at least the first half of the year will be Fury/Wilder II.... but the money/popularity from the Joshua/Miller NYC fight certainly won't be anything to sneeze at. And it will be a great intro for Joshua into the U.S. market.

We hardcore boxing fans have learned (at least most of us have) to have patience on getting our top favorite matchups in the ring together. I know I don't mind waiting... just so it doesn't end up like another Pac/Floydie debacle, caused by the head-ducker himself. I'm expecting a great Fury/Wilder II where I will expect to see Fury win AGAIN... except this time they finally give him the W he deserved in the first fight... AND I expect to see a great Joshua/Miller fight.

That fight will not be poopular without EXTREME promotion using Wilder and Fury's names. Miller doesn't do well in Brooklyn, so MSG will be even more difficult. No one knows AJ in the US so how does he expect to sell the Garden? He is gonna need celebrity help because he does not move the needle here

Aj should keep the date at Wembley. He can shadow box for 12 rounds..let's see how well he sells

The rematch was for 50-50 stop spreading mis-information.

In the 3rd revision of the contract Eddie generously increased it to %50.... lol

Easy to see why Wilder got sick of his garbage offers.

Yeah that's the "negotiation" part in "negotiating" a deal. People don't just give what you want in life you have to make them give it to you.

That's a free life lesson you can have my friend, now hop a long.

Thanks for the lesson in "low balling" and how to ensure a fight NEVER gets made. Eddie sure is has mastered this art.

Eddie/AJ has all the money and resources in the world to make a fight with AJ/Fury/Whyte, and every fan in the world begging for it to be made.
Only fast Eddie and his turtle neck, could stuff up this spectacularly and not manage to negotiate these fights.

He has secured Joshuas Legacy as the most protected scared paper champ in history. There is a lesson in there for you too, if you look hard enough.

His core fanbase would still turn up to see that. They are only really there to sing songs and get drunk and catch a glimpse of AJ's biceps and steroid gut.

50-50 is fair for the rematch, Wilders getting 60% and he as good as lost to Fury. All have priced themselves out and are waiting until they bring more to get paid more. If you can't see that you're dumb but they're smart for doing so.

AJ's got the least protected record if he was protected he would have gone for 39 fights and never fought the likes of Klitschko, Povetkin, Parker, Whyte and gone for the medically unfit like Wilder appears to be doing as his step up fights.
