I’m not emotionally invested in the split between Joshua vs. Wilder or Fury. Just seems like purely from an economic standpoint Joshua should get the biggest piece of the pie.
Now dance for me, boy!Comment

After Wilder accepted 15 million flat to go to the UK and Hearn refused to do the fight next, Wilder said he would never consider the fight ever again until it was 50/50.
So give Wilder credit for going out there, raising his profile, and making himself worth 50/50.Comment

Deyonce got what, 10-15mill (being generous) for staying with Showtime and fighting Breazeale instead of $20m on DAZN. He then got maybe the same money to fight Ortiz instead of potentially $40m + $40m for the AJ fights. Or he could have had another fight for $20m on DAZN before the AJ fights.
Either way you look at it, Wilder is taking financial hits. If he was really betting on himself he would have fought a few of Wlad/AJ/Parker/Whyte/Haye/Martin to gain the titles and the financial clout to be the A side superstar in his own country and the world RIGHT NOW. That's what betting on yourself looks like, not this ducking **** he's doing right now rematching fighters.
What's your point? That Deyonce is right to keep ducking and gamble on the value of the fight going up? Wtf kind of boxing fan are you when you would rather see fights marinate and the lure of undefeated v undefeated disappear?
FWIW, Eddie is saying that Wilder or Fury MIGHT be worth that 50% in the case that AJ takes the financial hit to entice one of them into the ring. Of course, this depends on who emerges victorious from the trilogy, it probably won't even be Wilder.
This also depends on what AJ does in his next two fights. If he KOs Pulev and Usyk, and the Saudis then want to throw $100m at him do you think he's gonna want to share that with Fury or Wilder if their trilogy bombs??Comment

And now we are here. He will probably decline the fights again at the end of the year unless he can get 60%.
The fans lose at the end of the day, yet they cheer Deyonce on like it's their money rather than just wanting to see the fight.Comment
