Comments Thread For: Joshua Not Sold on Offering 50-50 Split To Wilder-Fury Winner

[DaNeutral.]

But for pure boxing ability I feel as do plenty of others that Fury is the best there is.

Yes. I would tend to agree. But what has that got to do with anything? If that was so relevant then shouldnt Fury be selling up to 1.5 million PPV's a go and be receiving the kind of money Joshua is? Cuz he isnt. So what exactly has that got to do with anything?

Im not saying Joshua is the best fighter of the 3, im not even saying Joshua would for sure beat the other 2. But we all can see which is the cash cow of the 3.

In his last figh I didn't like him at all. The match was totally unexciting and his plan was to win without really fighting.

After this new comment, I hope he meets a big hitter and gets deatroyed by him. Whoever he will be it's fine for me. Be it Wilder, Dubois or whoever else.

Fury and Usyk have both the skills to beat AJ at his own game, but won't probably ko him.

I want him to be ktfo.

Yeah but Wilder keeps saying he wont fight Joshua so its guna have to be somebody with a set of balls instead of a set of feathers.

Luckily we are closer and closer to the day when we got rid of the so-called big three clowns.

From a purist angle the best fighters should get the most money.Hence its the same in other sports eg Messi and Christiano Ronaldo in football.People want to come and see the best.

Purist angle? Get out of your cloud. Thats not how this sport works. You shoud know that by now. How about looking at it from a realistic point of view.

Realistically Wilders last fight bombed. Sold under 10k in tickets and low PPV sales. Fury did even worse against Wallin. Joshua broke records. The cash cow here is Joshua. What he is willing to offer either Fury or Wilder is way more than they have ever earnt before plus fight for all the belts.

A sides have always been the A sides, but all of a sudden the A side is somebody you dont like so you are choosing to ignore how this sport has worked for many many years and trying to throw a different angle at it so you have a shred of meat to your argument.

You say people want to come and see the best. They aint turning up for Fury and Wilder like they are for Joshua. Its not even close. Are you just going to ignore all of these facts, stats and figures? Same stats facts and figures that have worked so well for a Floyd or a Canelo or a Tyson or all these other A sides over the years?

Didn't take him long to start laying obstacles again. This article could have been written a year ago exactly the same

That's not how football works. The fans go to support their teams. Why is Man Utd still making more than Liverpool if the best get the most money?

Not sure I like this from Joshua.

He's the much bigger draw, and would be the one pulling more numbers.

Just say, well I've got more belts, more draw, but a loss. Let's just so 50/50 just got get the biggest HW unification fight done. We're all millionaires anyway.

Thats not how it works lol.... at least know what you’re talking about. The main reason that Ronaldo and Messi get paid more is because they are far more marketable and sell way more football jerseys, football boots etc...... the premier league gets way more money than La Liga for broadcasting rights because more people watch it, not because it’s proven to be better in terms of quality.

Joshua has lost to Ruiz but that has not significantly affected his marketability, more people still watch him and he’s the reason why Saudi and other foreign sites are putting up ****** money for the undisputed fight.

Why is the onus not on wilder or Fury to take a more realistic split against the divisions cash cow?
