Now that Wikder has admitted he is "running in a different direction to Joshua"

[15 Rounds again]

...can we now stop the ****** threads about who.is ducking?
Wilder and Finkel have actually announces it. That's right...the debate is closed. There isn't anything more to be said surely, after the fighter himself says he won't fight the other guy.
Does he need to call a press conference? Fly a banner behind a plane? Just stop now. Deyonce doesnt want it, or his masters wont allow it till this day. But can you Curts and other fools just give it a rest- you are encouraging ducking and wrecking the sport.
We know no amount of money or anything you can say to that liar from Alabama won't shame him into a fight with AJ. He gets his 2 mill a fight in half sold houses on non ppv and is happy with that- guy is irrelevant now to actual boxing fans, just stop with all the lies and bs.

Amen.......

Obviously, Wilder got distracted and lost interest in the fight because it took too long to materialize. However, with DAZN and John Skipper now being at the helm of the negotiations; I believe that he will help expedite the timing of the fight much sooner.

We just have to be a bit more patient and give it time. The fight is going to happen. As I said before there is just too much money for that fight not to happen. The longer it takes the more it's going to marinate which will make the fight even bigger.

To be honest I think Team Wilder are right to delay the fight. Because now they have started doing their jobs for him. They are now building him like they should have done before he attached his name to Joshua’s name. He was the one that should have been in Joshua’s position with the right fights and risk. But they protected him for far too long. This was why he went through that mental stage of crying about being ducked and not having the opportunity to fight risky fights. I believe it’s more to do with his team protecting him. Now that he has that little attention from the Joshua’s name and Fury fight, he wants to build on that and make his own name, so I understand but not necessarily agree with it.

Building his name off AJ's back worked for Wilder for a while, but all the progress he made was blown away when he turned down the DAZN deals. The fans are slaughtering him for that.

Check out the comments under his Twitter and Instagram posts and you'll see what I mean.

I know trust me, him and Ortiz have been destroyed on social media, and i understand why, those fans actually thought Joshua was avoiding those two, so to see reality that its those two that were ducking Joshua really pissed them off.

[The Big Dunn]

Yet another thread where we pretend Hearn didn't lie about making the AJ/Wilder fight initially when his plan all along was a to launch DAZN with a non US PPV fight.

Why are the posters that accuse Wilder of ducking always pretend the situation started 6 months after it really did?

As for right now, Haymon refused to accept the DAZN offer because he knows allowing Wilder/AJ will sell a gigantic amount of subscriptions for his competitor that will yield far more than the $100 mil they will pay Wilder.

[thabanga510]

Barry Hearn and Joshua told us they were not going to fight Wilder until 2020 and its on tape.

[New England]

hearn offered wilder very little money to fight in 2018. offered right around what joe parker made. joe parker got a split FFS! 30-35%. brits are very quick to forget all of that!

wilder didn't have the buying power then that he has now. the guy clearly did well on ppv and at the gate with the fury fight. the fury rematch is on the table and will be huge. that gave haymon a ton of leverage and it threw a wrench in things.

as a boxing fan who wants to see these guys fight now [and then rematch because it will be a barnburner] it sucks to see that al haymon and wilder are looking to play the same long game that joshua and hearn took. just don't forget [if you're british] that hearn wanted to put the fight off too! sucks, doesn't it?

these two are playing the same game floyd and manny played. nobody would know who AJ is in the US if it wasn't for wilder. likewise in the UK, nobody would know who the f#ck wilder is! let's hope they don't do it for 5-6 years!

floyd became damn near a billionaire fighting no hopers while hyping up his fights with pacquiao - mayweather rhetoric. manny made half a billion doing the same thing. would floyd's fight with robert guerrero be that big without the pacquiao fight looming? would manny have been given a second and third chance for a robbery and a knockout loss to marquez if not for the mayweather fight looming?

what's scary is that this is good for business. these guys dind't need to fight each other in '18. wilder needed joshua more than he needed wilder. now they really don't need each other to cruise to 10+ million dollar paydays against dominic brezeale or jarrel miller
