Comments Thread For: Joshua: When Wilder, Fury, Usyk Are Really Ready - They Will Call

[TheUptownKid]

If Wilder really wants the fight he won’t ask for 50-50. Guys like you preached for years how Golovkin doesn’t deserve any more than 30% with Canelo but AJ should have a 50-50 deal with Wilder??

Come on man, why is it one rule for state side fighters and another for everyone else??

It seems like brits are saying Joshua deserves more money because he is the more popular fighter. It seems Americans are saying wilder deserves 50-50 because he’s just as (or more) deserving a champion at this point.

Both points have merit, compromises need to be made.

Unfortunately, i doubt Joshua fights his biggest fight of his career for less money than he made vs Ruiz. I also don’t think wilder goes to England for anything less than a 65-35 split unless Joshua makes him wait 5 more years

After Fury beats Wilder, Wilder will come begging. Joshua should then tell him to **** off.

You're looking at every excuse possible for Joshua to not fight Wilder. Both Fury and Wilder beat Joshua, Fury by points and Wilder by knockout. I believe you are a Joshua fanboy and biased to the extreme. Your comments cannot be taken seriously.

LOL with the Lowball offers. Its time for you to stop getting your news off the LDBC. Wilder is happy enough with 2.1 million or 3 which is what he is worth but 100 million is a lowball? 40% of what a Josuha fight brings in is a lowball?

That lowball crap dont wash with the majority of Boxing fans. Most of us can argue just exactly why Wilder keeps ducking Joshua, is it money and ego? Will Haymon just not allow Wilder to fight on DAZN? Is Wilder scared? But we are all in agreement that for some reason Wilder has been DUCKING Anthony Joshua.

You build your case on a false premise which is that Wilder is "ducking" Joshua. Ultimately if the fight doesn't happen it will be due to Matchroom not truly wanting to make the fight.

In your opinion and your opinion is only shared with a small minority of Boxing fans. The majority of us believe otherwise. And that is something weve based off the extensive evidence of Wilder ducking. Mainly the constant turning down of offers by Team AJ and the one attempt by Wilder personally which came with no paper work what so ever and a 24 hour deadline.

Rumours are that Joshua made somewhere between £46m and £66m ($85m) for the Ruiz rematch, so whoever talked him out of signing Wilder for $50m did a great job for him.

If the rumors are true (and they are probably close to actual) then I believe Joshua was indeed done a great service. He made more money and he avoided being knocked out.

It doesn't matter if you think hr will from them all...I don't care provided he gets the win....he will beat them all running.
LMAO.
You are still hurt from last night.

Why do you say so? I like good boxing and the one from Yesterday was NOT good. Hunter vs Povetkin was the best match of the evening, imo. AJ was not elegant like Ali or Fury. He was just running away. Nothing more than this. At the same time Ruiz was not able to reach him being as slow as hell on his feet.

Usyk and Fury would have cought and punished the ever jumping AJ easily. But he will avoid this, running from them outside the ring, rather than in the ring.

I agree with you on the money angle and I don't believe it's a lower percentage purse to Wilder that is in the way of the fight happening. What is preventing the fight is this: 1) Hearn and AJ don't really want the fight. They talk like they do but their actions put the lie to their words. 2) Wilder took as much as he could of being yanked around and harbors a lot of resentment. Wilder is stubborn and cares too much about his feelings to be disrespected in that way.

What you have is a fearful camp in the Joshua corner and a spiteful camp in the Wilder corner.

There you go again making baseless claims. Show me the poll where the majority of boxing fans share your opinion cause I don't believe that's true. Most of the boxing experts I've heard from believe Joshua gets chinned by Wilder.

Maybe so but thats not the same thing as what im saying or you are denying. Most Boxing experts see Wilder and his ridiculous demands as being the main factors in the undisputed fights not happening. And polls have been done on this across the forums a number of times and each and every one of them has more people saying Wilder is to blame for the undisputed fights not happening.

[SN!PER]

If Wilder gets past Fury in the rematch, he needs to do everything in his power to make the AJ fight. The time to make it is now. Whatever he has to do. Join DAZN, take the smaller cut, whatever. The talk between these two has gone on long enough. It's time to settle it in the ring.
