Yeah even American boxing social media (The sane ones) have been saying the same thing over the last few days. I don’t see Fury waiting for Lomachenko to announce anything. I don’t see Joshua waiting for any Matchroom fights to announce anything.
It’s not a coincidence that Wilder comes out every time Joshua has something going on. Trying to use the “Only UK” Blah Blah Blah uses that is just laughable.
Wilder himself has been quoted as in wanting to fight Ruiz “If something doesn’t come off with the Joshua rematch” which means he is waiting to see if that fight happens or not. Now that the fight is going forward, he is now securing a date for a fight that he himself announced in May... yeah

It's not even a knock on Wilder, like it or not for the last couple years Joshua is the money man in the division, that's simply the facts, Wilder's biggest possible pay day was a unification with Joshua.
How much do you think Ruiz v Joshua 2 generates, if the site fee is $40M as reported it could be a $100M+ event. Now ask yourself what Wilder v Ortiz 2 will generate.

Originally posted by JRB123 View PostI thought their budget was 50 million dollars, but I would not be surprised if it was 30 million. To see the PPV fights be on Fox instead of Showtime shows how much interest that Showtime Sports has on boxing now...Two fights (Spence-Garcia, and Pac-Thurman) were on Fox PPV and Spence-Porter will also be a Fox PPV telecast. They've had one main card a month on Saturday nights, and the next one isn't until October with Shields fighting Habazin...
With that being said, I find it hard to believe that Wilder made 20 million dollars fighting Breazeale because that money would have to come mostly from Showtime because there is no PPV backend for it. That may happen again in this Ortiz rematch because there's no way that this should be PPV. Ortiz may not make it past one round.
In reference to Joshua, he's good right now. He's going to make more in the rematch with Ruiz than in the first fight. If the talk is that he gets 35 million pounds, then he will be coming off that fight in December further ahead than some have thought and makes Wilder look foolish.
Oh, and to the person that thinks that Joshua ducked Wilder, you have to be on some type of medication.

All you need to do, is work out how the money comes in, and you realise there is NO way he would have been paid, anything close to what he was offered by DAZN. But these uneducated fans like yourself would swear up and down that he got 20m or close to it, this is why you are here now, defending him about his shameful piggybacking of Joshua name and fight again.
You can try all you want to change the subject, call Joshua’s name a million times and it would still be irrelevant to this subject clown.
