    Nobody can deny he spent the first 7 years of his career fighting nobody whatsoever.

    He got a gimme WBC mandatory to nobodys surprise since they clearly wanted a north american champion

    The Wlad fight was offered to him but they said no

    Continued to defend his title against trash.

    Had one good fight against Ortiz which came after he showed serious slippage

    Has not built a profile.

    It's been a nice easy road to unification for him.

    Joshua on the other hand

    Fought WAY better opposition coming up.

    Hearns invested $15m on a gamble vs Charles Martin for the IBF

    Fought 2 easy defences he had to due to agreement with Al Haymon

    Went for the Klitschko fight ASAP to unify the WBA

    Was going to fight his mandatory but he pulled out

    Went straight into a second unification for the WBO

    Has built a massive profile and following.


    So if I'm Deontay I'm thinking i need to get my head out of my dillusional ass and take this 15 million dollars which sets me up for life, being offered by this guy who has done ALL THE WORK.

    He's so confident he's a guarenteed win right, so what's the issue here?

    This offer is more than fair.

    On fact a $5 million offer would be fair

    The equation is much simpler than all that.

    Wilder has the WBC title and Joshua wants it.

    Until Joshua offers Wilder what he wants there won't be a fight.

    Right, so does that imply that Windmills doesn't want any other belts then?

    Does Wilder not want AJ belts?

    Clearly not considering Wilder has never tried to make a unification fight. AJ won a world title and immediately tried to unify, that's the difference.

    Wilder has not asked for 50/50

    So end this thread at once.

    What has he asked for then? It seems to me that there is a faction that believes the split should be much closer to 50/50.

    Another one trying over complicate things.

    Until Joshua offers Wilder what he wants there won't be a fight.

    Which is fine as AJ has options. Povetkin ,Whyte 2, Haye or Fury all pay him nicely.

    Wilder has?

    Couldn't care in the least about other heavyweight fights at the moment, and none of them will provide Joshua the opportunity to unify.

    I just want to see Joshua-Wilder and when Joshua offers Wilder what he wants we'll get that fight.

    He said he is more than happy to take a 60/40 split.

    I along with many others frankly don't care how much he is getting. It's not going in my pocket neither is any of it going in any of you armchair financial advisors

    We just just wish to see the fight get made. If Joshua gets paid more so be it.

    The problem is Hearn doesn't want the fight. This is why they are offering Wider insulting offers hoping/expecting him to turn them down.

    Hearn is the biggest slime in boxing and instead of threads calling him out, we have threads making up phantom demands that were never requested.

    Wrong. Until Wilder accepts what AJ wants there will not be a fight.

    LoL, joking, i was just being silly like you but in the opposite direction.

    There's no humour intended.

    Simple fact is until Wilder is offered something he is willing to accept there won't be a fight.

    70/30 is fair.

    60/40 is a bit too crazy in Wilders favour.

    Hey dont hate me, just imo.
