I'm a huge fan of boxing, but this hurts boxing, it's become a popularity contest, this guy is more well than this guy so he should make more money, then they fight over who the "A" side is the fight never gets made. We need to go back to fighting to see who is the better fighter and leave it at that.
Joshua is 100% the only star in heavyweight boxing

The only one that’ll have to sacrifice financially to make the fight is aj he earn substantially more than wilder per fight but to make it so wilder earns enough he’ll have to take a pay cut on what he got against ruiz whilst wilder will get more than his career earnings combinedI like the fact that you mentioned that it’s a UK thing. You are not claiming it’s a world thing like some American posters like to do here.
Now we can compare those numbers (Money wise) to other HW from other countries like (Wilder in America), Hrgovic (Croatia), Parker (New Zealand/Australia), Fury (UK), Whyte (UK) etc
Because the currency is different, the PPV prices are different. That way you can not argue for what a guy brings to the table. The numbers should help decide who is overestimating their worth and thus delaying a fight from happening.Comment

wilder should thank god every night for making dazn.hilarious that you dont see ruiz/AJ 1 anywhere...the only reason people watched 2 was to see if the embarrassment and shame would happen again
wilder made more money than anyone in combat sports sans canelo, AJ and mcregor....that means more than pac and golovkin...and hell likely do the same this year too...lol...keep dreaming fgt
Without DAZN he wouldn’t be making half as much as he does nowComment

He is a big star. By typing in what his net worth is I got 80 million bucks. But Fury is worth 40 million and Wilder is worth 30 million so they are both very rich men too. They made all that money without AJ and are set to make much more without him. If AJ wants to try to be the unified heavyweight champ he must fight the winner of Wilder vs Fury. He can't make them fight for the amount he wants them to get. He has to make a deal or never have a chance be the full champion. Wilder and Fury have done very well without him all these years and they could continue to do so if he wants too big a share of the money.Comment

Obviously the only person that would have to take a pay cut to make the undisputed fight happen is Joshua, no matter who the other guy is (Fury/Wilder/Miller/Whyte/Hrgovic/Kownacki/Pulev/Usyk) etc would make twice or three times in terms of their usual payday.The only one that’ll have to sacrifice financially to make the fight is aj he earn substantially more than wilder per fight but to make it so wilder earns enough he’ll have to take a pay cut on what he got against ruiz whilst wilder will get more than his career earnings combined
The thing is as big as Joshua is in terms of revenue, he cannot fight himself. And when you look at what Fury and Wilder are doing it’s calculated, they are working together to minimise Joshua’s grip on the HW, so in the end he has to give him to them.
The only way one of those two would give in to him, would be whoever loses their third fight, that person would pretty much need Joshua more than he would need that person.
The winner of that fight (Wilder/Fury 3) would probably try to win the revenue war in the media, because they definitely cannot win that war on paper at the negotiating table.Comment
