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

[markther]

Here we go again with this bullsh@t. This fight is never taking place, ever, forget about it.

Nobody from Joshua's side, including Hearn, feels that Wilder or Fury are worth 50-50%. The stats, facts and figures back that up perfectly too. Hearn said they would maybe have to go to 50% to get the fights. Joshua has been asking for justification for why that would be the case. There is no realistic answer to that.

Joshua made over 80million in his last fight, broke PPV records again and sold out a venue in a foreign country (and thats after taking a loss) Wilders last fight he sold 7 thousand tickets which is only half the venue and did around 200k in PPV's. (as the home fighter in a home venue on home soil) Tyson Fury? Well his numbers are even worse than Wilders.

And thats just looking at their last fights. Keep going back and it dont get any favourable for either Wilder or Fury. Do not get mixed up with Team AJ being willing to offer 50% and those two opponents being worth 50%.

Couldn’t have put it better myself.

For those of u who think that boxing is more 'sport' then 'business', think hard! The sweet science is not naive to $$$$ long-term bottom line.... Should be obvious, despite all the shenanigans of managers/boxers! Best to just focus on the sweet science (boxing) for public media consumption, notwithstanding! (And keep the monkeying acts away from from the (boxing) purists! Be serious!

Your missing the wider point though.It goes to something evolutionary in nature.Who is the toughest hence linked to survival of the fittest.Something that has always existed prior to the onset of humanity.

We knew this was coming. The duck continues.

Wilder won't get 50-50 with Joshua, he is gona lose in a months time.

Fury will get 50-50 though.

Wilder and Fury are a rigged business alliance, both are using each other to steal your money and up each other's value. Your pic of Fury and Wilder together is the proof.

Fury and Wilder are staging rigged fake fights.

LOL that 50 million BS again. Joshua said LETS ROLL, Hearn said LETS SEE THE TERMS. Wilder and Finkel said NOOOOOOOOOO. Its Wilder and Finkel who stopped that moving to the next stage. But then the next stage was BT Sport, no wonder Finkel was happy to leave it at stage 1.

No Barry Hearn told Eddie no lets not do the fight till 2020, the 50 million was legit Eddie admitted that. Then Fury said F it, ill fight wilder and they signed the contract like big boys and go a fight on like big boys, and Eddie was like " they will never fight" ...which they obv did. Thats how it actually played out. But 10 points for your story making, well done

Get that tin-foil hat off and rejoin reality.

Ain't no chance Fury would ever throw a fight, not a snowball's chance in hell.

Joshua said (in Saudi and before that) that he won't the talking about Wilder or Fury. After the fight, he said he won't be chasing them but that they will have to come to him. Then he said he wants to fight Wilder or Fury. Then he said he will help Fury in sparring so Fury can beat Wilder (apparently AJ doesn't want to do it himself). Then he says they are in negotiation. Then Hearn says they will probably offer 50-50. Then AJ says they do not deserve 50-50.

All I see is Fury and Wilder are busy because they are putting up the biggest fight in HW division right now. They don't need or have time to talk about someone else. Joshua, on the other hand, is just a spectator talking about them and being relevant. If AJ says nothing, we won't have a thread related to him or talk about him here for a long time since AJ vs Pulev ain't generating any interest.

So, all he is doing is trying to stay relevant.

Joshua - you are already super rich. It’s about glory. If you want to be #1 - make the 50/50. Or fight stumble bum mediocrities like Whyte for the remainder of your career. You can lose at any moment with that China chin. Disobey your protector/lord & master Eddie and Make the deal.
