Comments Thread For: Wilder: I Promise You, Have Patience, Joshua Fight Will Happen

What excuses? The one where AJ turned down 50 million; or the video on Youtube where Daddy Hearn said they had a 7 year plan for AJ and it didnt involve fighting Wilder? And those ridiculous flat fees offered Wilder that he didnt insult Parker with? Those?

By excuses he means he wants you to stop mentioning your correct assessment of the dazn deal. He wants wilder to sign with dazn so that Hearn can have more control and PBC less control over American boxing. You are quite right, dazn wants the subscribers from two demographics that wilder would bring to the table, Alabama fans and nationally black American fans. Hearn tried to get this demographic when he first came
Over and tried hard to sign Spence, Broner, the Charlos, tank, etc etc. Dazn really wants that demogrpahic and to now not one fighter they signed brings that. As you said, it’s not wilders job to make dazn successful.

If you're a fan of the sport why should you care so much about the angles and be so indifferent about whether the fight actually happens? Why are people writing long essays about excuses for Deontay Wilder to not take the fight and saying nothing in support of making the fight happen? Social media has turned everybody into a zombie. Its sad. This crap has me losing interest in boxing.

Oh...ok well then Joshua can sign a contract win showtime since he doesn’t have one with dazn. If he signs with showtime then there are zero hurdles for the fight. Stop making excuses! Tell Joshua to stop ducking the fight via showtime

Lying coward from Alabama.

Sounds like someone is afraid for Antonia Joshua

"we're risking our lives. The head is not meant to be hit in the first place"

a bit of fear in this statement i think.

👍🏿........

I ll leave it at this. Wilder and AJ will fight. The fight is too big not to happen. But IT WILL NOT be tied exclusively to DAZN. It will be split site between DAZN and Showtime. Im out.

110% agreement. Dazn has even realized that there is more money to be made off the app. I saw they have a network option now as I flipped through and found dlh’s Dazn fights on ATT sports. They also had the Canelo fight in movie theaters. Advertisements and ppv are clearly on the way for dazn. The app only approach doesn’t cut it

A man with an atomic bomb in his right hand never gonna be fear.....nobody is fear in this formula....no Wilder, no Joshua, no Fury...it is only bussiness...that's is....and no one is afraid, everybody wants the more money possible....

I like the idea of Wilder and AJ meeting behind closed doors and hashing this whole thing out. Like **** promoters and managers, how do we make this thing happen?

I'm glad that you're satisfied with all of these excuses. I'd rather watch a boxing match personally.

By excuses I mean everything that you just wrote.

All you care about is promoters, networks and how much money you're favored fighter makes. You don't care about the sport. So you have more invested in the soap opera than you do in seeing a big fight. It makes no sense.
