Comments Thread For: Wilder: I'll Repeat, Only Way Joshua Fight Happens is 50-50 Split!

[Straightener]

More proof wilder doesn't want the fight

How this clown still has fans is beyond me

[Oldskoolg]

I bet that just enraged the partisan Hearn/Joshua/dazn fans lol

3) now he gives 0 fcuks about Joshua and that fight, because..... a) he has options..... b) Wilder knows they had no intention of fighting him, and has likely seen nothing to the contrary at this point

Options? His options are a rematch with Ortiz or hoping that Top Rank will allow Wilder v Fury to happen. Any other PBC matchup is no different to this current one - trash. That's acceptable once or twice but if 2 years down the line Wilder hasn't got Fury back in to the ring and he's only been fighting the likes of Breazeale, Kownacki, Martin then his value isn't going to be as high as it is now.

The fight won't happen then and Wilder is the one that will lose out the most. Joshua will likely knock out Miller and he won't look like a novice imitating a drunken octopus doing it which will further convince fans that he's the man in the division (if they didn't already know).

Just been reading more about what Finkel said, and I suspect the plan is for Wilder to beat Brezeale, then play into the DAZN vs ESPN/ESPN+ competition and have them bidding against each other.

While both networks are throwing crazy money around to try establish themselves, their need for a big HW fight might see them paying over the odds to line their guy up for a fight with Wilder. DAZN might break the bank to get Wilder/Joshua, especially if there is competition from ESPN in the form of Wilder/Fury.

So Wilder might come out looking pretty good if the showdown between DAZN and ESPN happens and the numbers suddenly start getting bigger and with fewer restrictions on future fights.

A gamble - but might not be a bad one (we'll see).

He doesnt want anything, what he really wants is to get to 49 - 0 and fight pacquiao on showtime PPV

Lol, Pacquiao, could out box him all night. Although they'd need to have a body bag ready for Pac if Wilder ever connects. I guess he'd get the body on his record that he was taking about previously.

And you are Wilder's little *****. There are millions of other ways to sell a fight other than saying he wants a body on his record. And he's repeatedly said it. I hope he does get a body on his recored... HIS body. **** that chumpion

Awww losing the argument so you have to resort to calling me names lol.

[wrecksracer]

Wilder once said he wants a body what does that say about Wilder?

And Mike Tyson wants to eat children lol. Won't somebody think of the children?

This makes sense assuming Wilder doesn't worry about Joshua's end of the deal. Wilder seems like the type of guy to turn down 500 million because Joshua would be getting 1 billion.

Mike Tyson had known mental issues. Not sure why people keep bringing up Tyson like it helps their case in defense of Wilders "i want a body on my record and to cripple a man in front of his children" comments. Unless people are saying Wilder has mental problems as well.

Hearn and AJ needs to move on from Wilder if they're smart! AJ needs to forget about unifying all the titles because it's looks desperate for a guy who has 4 titles, the bigger draw, makes way more money to be chasing a guy with lesser! The more Hearn and AJ continue mentioning Wilder's name, he'll continue holding out!
