Can Wilder fans please explain why he would rather rematch Ortiz than fight Joshua?

[Curt Henning]

in a years time wilder will have gone from wide margin b-side to 50/50 piece of the AJ fight...provided he stays winning.....and thats gotta drive some of you mad

hearn recently called fighting wilder a "gamble"....you havent heard wilder or his people call fighting AJ a gamble....they have nothing to lose really...if wilder loses the pbc has other fighters in other divisions and will still be a force in boxing....if AJ loses hearn isnt much a power player in the US/global scene

like i always say...people at the blackjack/craps tables that have money arent ********...they are playing....thats wilder at this point...hearn and AJ have alot to lose....thats why they are calling it a "gamble"....people who cant really afford to lose are the ones "********"

yes if AJ loses he will still make money going forward and has made alot of money...but the goal is to keep making more and more....if that wasnt the goal hed just quit now as he had plenty of money...but if he gets beat and knocked out by wilder his status diminishes greatly

wiilder has nothing to lose.....everyone claims no one watches or goes to his fights and he makes no money...so what does he have to lose?

[Curt Henning]

You realize that if Wilder accepted the 3 fight DAZN offer he would be fighting Joshua this year right?

would he really though?

[Pigeons]

He wants a 50/50 split vs. Joshua. He hasn't been offered that split so he's fighting the hardest possible fights in the interim while he chases that split. You may think an $80M flat fee for two Joshua fights is more than enough, but Wilder wants 50/50.

if wilder sleeps AJ in the first fight you think hes gonna want 40 mil for the rematch? lol...hell no

wilder can make 50-60 mil in the first one and then hold out for more if theres demand for a rematch.....wilder aint taking no 40 for a rematch if he sleeps AJ

[SN!PER]

In the end, Wilder WILL get the money he's asking for.

Haymon and Finkel been in this game a while, they know what they're doing.

[Larry the boss]

how the hell would any of his fans know?

[saintpat]

Its getting absurd at this point.

Can anyone explain why AJ would rather fight the Burrito King (or the PED-chugging doughboy that he replaced) rather than Wilder or Fury?

[MPX309]

Yeah that's not a difficult one to answer... Lol wilder was on camp for DB and fury had just announced Thomas sch***** or whatever his name is lol

[giant_king]

At bolio.you obviously don't have any sick love ones to care for.and you don't value family.the Joshua fight will come right now it's about two brothaz using boxing to take care of their daughters.you use boxing don't let boxing use you.

[killakali]

you guys are delusional if you dont think eddie hearn would like to wait till next year also

hearn is just running his lips to save face and keep interest in AJ....hearn would rather wait to take that "gamble" just like his daddy advised

im convinced both sides are in on it right now....but wilder did try to make the fight last year only to be rebuffed a couple of times...oh well...it is what it is...ortiz still a top 5 guy.....what top 5 HW is AJ fighting?

Ortiz looked like poopoo last 2 fights. I’m not convinced he’s still top 5. After the big 3 u would have to go Whyte and then before the failed tests Miller might have moved to the number 4 spot. Either way Pulev is about on par with Ortiz. Maybe Usyk. Ortiz could be 6-7 now at his advanced age.

Would Ortiz best Ruiz? 2 years ago I would say probably very easily. Right now it’s not so certain.
