    Please settle this...Is Wilder now the A side???

    A side B side C side I never get any of this crap, just stick in em in the damn ring together.

    But clearly boxing is a business not a sport, so all this **** matters when making a fight.

    So is Deontay Wilder now the A side with AJ? Is HE the one calling the shots on negotiations?

    Even when AJ beats Ruiz in the rematch, will wilder still be the A side, he’s never lost, and now 90% are picking him to beat AJ.

    Probably.

    You can’t say he draws more money than AJ even now, but he’s the champion out of the two, undefeated and AJ’s stock has just dropped with many considering him to not be on the level of Wilder or Fury now.

    As WBC champ, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to demand the majority of the split if AJ is only the challenger.

      The biggest deciding factor of splits is the amount of money a fighter brings in. So no.

        Well if they fight, it will be in the states, under Wilder terms, you decide.

          Nope, Wilder is still a bum and will loose to Fury by KO if he fights him again.

            Empty arena, something better on TV Deontay Wilder??? He is in regards to him having a world title and Joshua dont. Josuha will still be bringing in way more money than Wilder. But if AJ wants a crack at Wilder and his belt they will make him pay for it on the contract table. The very least Wilder will demand is 60-40 and will most likely be 65 or 70% in his favour so it depends how desperate Joshua is to get it. Im not too sure Wilder is chasing the money so if Joshua moans about the fact hes bringing the money to the table wilder will just walk, he dont care.

            But i fully expect Joshua to try to get the belts he just lost back in a rematch with Ruiz before any of that would happen. So we would have to see how that went 1st.

              Fury and Wilder are equals commercially, although Fury outclassed him in the first fight. AJ can't even think about A-side/B-side with those two at this point. AJ has to deal with Ruiz conclusively in a second, and maybe even third, fight before being considered back at that type of level. Fury and Wilder are head and shoulders above the rest now.
