    Debunked by who? Hearn, Joshua and Showtime all confirmed it was real.


    wilder was recently asked by bluebloods sports tv if he would fight AJ if he was given everything he asked for, including a stateside fight, showtime PPV, 50-50, and a two way rematch clause.
    he said no.
    Not familiar with that interview, but I'd be happy to watch it and give you my thoughts if you can provide a link and time stamp. Thanks.

      He doesn't have the leverage to dictate.

      But, when has the biggest fight in world boxing been on the platform that will generate much less?

      A-sides have the leverage to get the higher percentage, but for a fight of this magnitude, the B-side has every right to want to make sure his percentage is worth as much as possible.

      60/40 is fair for this fight if they maximize the revenue. 60/40 isn't fair if the A-side refuses to go on PPV where so much more money can be made.

          How convenient. You want me to comment on something I haven't seen, that you refuse to show me.

            All I can see in that post is a lot of pointless speculation which ignores the basis of this whole discussion. Which is that Finkel and Wilder spent almost a whole year plugging a phony narrative to the media ... that they wanted the fight right now and AJ was ducking it.

            Remember all that ranting from Wilder ... "I ain't about the money! I don't care about money! I just want to give the fans what they want - one name, one face, one champion but AJ is a coward and he won't fight me!"

            If it wasn't for that, and the fact that a lot of fans fell for it and turned against AJ, Hearn would probably have been quite happy letting the fight marinate till 2020.

            But they forced Eddie's hand, and when he offered them what they said they wanted, they tucked their tails and ran away.

              I'm sure you know exactly what he's talking about.

              And if you don't, you should stop pretending to be the fount of all boxing knowledge and talking about your "inside information"

                Neither Wilder, Fury & Joshua want to lose their undefeated record. That is why they signed for different networks

                  That is your problem right there. You pick and choose whatever supports your agenda. Fighter fight. I don't think neither is afraid of each other. Once you bring in management with all those financial incentives we get what we are getting now.

                    Finkel and Wilder spent months calling AJ out in the media and plugging an agenda that he and Hearn were running scared of Deontay.

                    Wilder repeatedly called AJ a coward, said that all he wanted was a chance to unify the division asap, and that he didn't care about the money.

                    What happened to all that tough talk when he got the chance he'd been asking for?

                      AJ has been with the same UK network since the start of his career and is a network free agent in the US.
