It can’t be a coincidence for Whyte, Fury & Wilder to all get away from a fight with Joshua. Something is going wrong in the negotiations & it appears to be on Hearn/Joshua’s side for the most part.
    He’s literally done that. Wilder himself said aj is begging for the fight I don’t know what more they can do. Even offers 60/40

      Exactly how's he going to do that?

        I know that’s the number being reported but I’m not sure that’s true. Why would anyone pay 20 million for a fight none of us wants to watch? Fury was supposed to get 100 million. Everyone reported that, and then Arum came out and said it wasn’t even 80. Shelley already came out and said it wasn’t a 100 days ago. Now maybe they upped the offer since then I don’t know. We should know more after the Wilder press conference.

          If Wilder would rather make 5 or less vs Breazele on SHO than 20mil on DAZN, then all the power to him
          I’m not sure I buy the offer to fight Breazele.

              I’m not sure I buy the Breazele offer.

                Not if you think he beats AJ. He'd now be the undisputed world champion, he'd be $40m dollars better off, earning stratospheric figures from endorsements and future fights and he wouldn't have suffered the embarrassment in front of the assembled world of boxing of retaining only his title by home cooked scorecards.

                  Lol how had nobody else trashed this guy

                  Hearn doesn’t want it yet has made several offers in the last few months

                  Also dazn themselves made a 100-120m offer

                  Wilder keeps rejecting and says he has no desire to fight

                  His master Shirley has made wilder lose millions for fighting for less and has come out and said, we won’t let wilder go elsewhere to fight like he owns him

                  Yet it’s Joshua’s and hearns fault

                  If that’s you think then you should stop thinking as it must be painful

                    Right. What exactly has he changed?

                      There's no need to meet when your fighter says I'll fight right now for $50m, yet passes when the $50m shows up, lol.

                      What was there to even discuss?
                      When you're dealing with people of ^this level of intelligence you can never discuss anything.
