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

[Jab jab boom]

HAHYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. He has all but one of the REAL world titles. Thats EXACTLY what they do, you ****ing idiot.

again, whoever wins in the wilder vs Fury renatch greatly surpasses anything Joshua has done with his career. Which to date, his highlights are a life and death war with an ancient Klitchko and the most boring rematch win vs the hamburgler in a fight where he fought in a petrified manner following a quit job loss.

This dude said beating a severely overweight man at a 6in height and reach disadvantage was the greatest comeback in boxing history.

No one cares about AJ outside the UK so fk him. Wilder should offer a 50-50 ppv in the US and if he passes on it move on. AJ is an afterthought now and not considered at the top anymore. Belts or not

[tokon]

I expect Wilder to be offered 50% regardless, even though i think he wont take it. But there is no way Wilder is deserving of that money and nothing in his career so far can be shown as proof that he does.

I really hope the offer is a straight up 50/50, joint promotion, let's just get this fight over the line one, as that would answer the question about who actually wants/doesn't want the fght.

I strongly suspect it won't be though, and Joshua's comments strengthen that belief.

It's very strange how Joshua fans are still claiming A-side and #1 when he was flattened the fight before last and quit.

Wilder and Fury are fighting each other again, #1 and #2 in the division...... Joshua's belts mean squat in comparison to the winner of that fight.

They are having a hard time since Joshua lost..... they are still claiming to be the top dog, Hearn is even trying to dictate that the winner will face Joshua in Saudi, like they even get to dictate to Wilder or Fury where they will fight.

They are deluded in thinking the fact that Joshua makes more money means they hold any power over the winner.... or get to dictate anything as the #3 in the division.

Wilder nor Fury operate on that level.... money don't mean shiat when it comes to making fights with them.

Joint promotion between DAZN and FOX? I would love that. Not too sure FOX would.

Yet all eyes are on Joshua and what he is willing to give Fury or Wilder. Not the other way around. Joshua is clearly the A side, the cash cow and all sides know it. He cant make them fight him though. That is true. But why wouldnt they want to fight him?

[MC Hammer]

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?

AJ isn't breaking records the Ruiz fight did less than he actually claimed according to BARB it was boring and his stock dropped because he looked scared of the midget.

He can keep being the big fish in the small pond, but outside the UK he is irrelevant without Wilder

[MC Hammer]

Exactly. Everybody knows that Joshua v Pulev will dwarf the Fury Wilder fight. Joshua is the sports cash cow, Wilder isnt even the most popular American Heavyweight.

only UK bumboys know that

[ReggieKray]

The guy that just made more in 1 fight than Wilder and Fury have in their entire careers is pricing himself out? What ya smoking?

His last fight was an exception. That wasn't a normal pay day. 70-30 is a joke for a Lineal unification and he's totally pricing himself out.

Outside of America you mean. The rest of the world snaps up Joshua fights. The universe does not revolve around America alone and the numbers in the states has lost it its Mecca status. You earn more and do better numbers in other countries now.

Wilders had over 40 fights to prove hes a big fish in a big pond and his last fight bombed big time and the rumour is his next fight isnt going to do well. Yeah you see AJ as a big fish in a small pond but AJ is in the ocean, hes a world wide name. Wilder is a small fish that appears to be shrinking in a big pond.
