Comments Thread For: Wilder Manager Updates on Talks To Fight Ortiz, Joshua, Fury

This is why he didn't commit to a multi fight deal with DAZN.

I thought Dazn wanted a 3 fight deal? Brazealle and 2 Joshua fights?

Tbh...money is preventing Wilder Joshua. Its in full marination mode. Not blaming either side.

If not Joshua or Fury, then who?

what i don't understand about this "marination process" (thanks may/pac), is how come a single fight made at the end of fighter career worth more than a trilogy in their peak??? Surely rather than Ortiz/Kownacki we could have AJ I&II....

Fury/Wilder/AJ could fight eachother thrice in the next few years and make a fortune together

Am i missing something???

Great move. Cut the middle man out (Hearn) and go straight to the boss. Negotiations will go 100% better this time.

Finkel is one shady mother****er, he's blocking the undisputed fight.

He should fight Whyte or Povetkin next if he’s as good as you lot claim.

[OldTerry]

It's up to AJ, Wilder, Skipper, and Finkel to set this thing up.

If all parties aren't satisfied, Ortiz is the backup plan.

That pretty much nails it.

LMAO at Hearn being the middleman when AJ isn’t signed to DAZN. Wilder is the one who needs to cut his two uncles, Finkel and Al Haymon, out if he’s confident he can beat AJ and since they can’t put up the money to get the fight done.

[James Hunt]

This should be good. The Hearn fans do not like to hear rational talk from Wilder or his team.

Yup. Finally some rational words from their side.

I think in Mayweather and Pac's case, waiting allowed them to both maximize their profits until the end of their careers. They made a killing on the fight. After seeing that fight, I guarantee you that nobody wanted to see a trilogy. This whole "let's plan on a trilogy" depends on whether the first fight was any good. Even planning on a second fight is kind of BS. Sure, we as fans want to see these guys fight at their peak. The Mayweather and Pac method guarantees that will never happen

So that he could fight Ortiz...?!
