    You could but it would be all bulls.h.i.t since nothing I said wasn't facts.

    Where's the showtime offers to back what they say about it being worth more?

    It's you guys that whimper "b-b-but it would be a waste of time better off giving Frank Warren more details of the 50 mil offer to Anthony Joshua"

    Or the "b-b-but Hearns a liar we can read his mind he's not letting AJ on another network no matter what" LMAO one of you cucks are still to provide an actual quote of Hearn saying AJ can't fight on another network and not just some Boxing scene article title which wasn't a representation of the material in the article or a quote from it.

      If they both want rematch that's a 2 fight deal. Hearn said Wilder can have just the two Joshua fights, we're just gonna have to wait till the next round of fights are over now to see how true this is.

        Haymon's guys are only able to get away with being free agents because they've shown this kind of loyalty over and over.

          Funny how you ignored that bit.
          Well AJ does want one (standard champ stuff Wilder had one if he lost against Fury) so Wilder will want one.

          Sooo your post irrelevant.... funny that.

            Joshua said no, and Wilder's camp ended up moving on.

            Both will fight their fights, and Wilder's camp will make the same 50/50 offer (since Joshua has publicly already argued that the money didn't actually matter, Wilder's camp likely drops the $50m guaranteed part).

            SHOPPV, Sky Box Office, MGM Resorts.

            What grounds would Joshua have to again walk away?

            Wasn't verified keep adding your spin to Hearn saying he believes they're good for the money although he hasn't seen proof. Plus Wilders team never mentioned that 30 mil rematch only Warren who said it was funded with BT which would have meant AJ having to paying Sky their share which would be a lot.

            What grounds would Joshua have for walking away from 50 mil , probably something along the lines of DAZN guaranteeing 60 mil since Hearn said AJs offer from DAZN in comparison to Wilders 40 mil a fight was along the lines of the talked about 60/40 split. Showtime are probably gonna have to up their offer at the end of the day even if it's just to guarantee the difference DAZN are and give Wilder the rest until it's 50-50 and split the upside shouldnt be a problem though if the fights as big as you guys make out and apparently Wilders popularity rivals Mayweather as this fight is all of a sudden as big as Mayw vs Pac.

              none of those guys pack fight ending ability like wilder....none of them

              those are not risky fights you listed...wilder is RISKY and we all know that

              DAZN will do the deal if they know they have the winner locked in...thats why they tried to sign wilder....without having wilder in the fold they dont want the fight on legit terms with a good split and US PPV....because if AJ loses they arent left with much in their investment of him....

              thats why theyre happy to make the fight if wilder signs a multi fight deal with them....they know they have the winner guaranteed signed with them

              but AJs people wont go to wilders people with a legit split and US PPV deal in place...which is the logical deal to make by far
              Parker,Whyte, Breazele, Martin all got 1st L frm Aj....with exception of Martin...all still top 10 rankd

                Kinda defeats the purpose of being a so called free agent. Well it sounds cool anyway.

                    The purpose of working on a hand shake is having the option to bolt if the other side doesn't live up to their word or doesn't continue to treat you well.

                    How many times do we see fighters being held hostage? Forced to sit out by their promoter, or chewed up and spit out by a network after a loss or two, etc?

                    PBC guys have protections other guys don't have. Their manager has a ton of leverage with promoters and TV networks, but the handshake arrangement of so much of what Haymon does is what creates this leverage.

                    If Wilder had been locked into a long term deal with Showtime, he couldn't legally receive offers from DAZN and ESPN and Showtime wouldn't then be scrambling to increase what they pay him.

                    Haymon has orchestrated the biggest fights in history. PBC has the biggest TV budget in history. Haymon has the largest collection of world class talent in history. Maybe there's a method to his madness?

                      People saying Wilder doesn't deserve 50% keep forgetting that Joshua has to sell 4 times what Wilder does to make the same money, and Wilder's last fight outsold Joshua's last 2 (I know, Fury is solely responsible for a good PPV turnout on American TV :sarc). Joshua may get a better percentage, but both fighters are bringing in the same level of money, so 50% is not farfetched. Joshua won't get that type of money with any other dance partner

                      That all said, Wilder could have accepted the 40% deal, and the 4 fight $120M deal IMO, but I understand being ****ed around and not wanting to do business with people. I'm also a fight fan though, and prizefighters are supposed to fight for the prize, so both sides need to get their **** together and stop all the posturing.
