    AJ would be a fool to fight Wilder in the US
    He’s the A side with the 3 belts. He makes 10 times what Wilder does in the UK
    Wilder wants the home court advantage
    AJ should keep the fight in the UK

    This. Hearn clearly wants to make a bit more easy money before putting his meal ticket on the line. Also, I had a feeling they wouldn't put a 21 fight novice like Joshua against Wilder. Joshua's handlers most likely will try to get Joshua 4-5 more fights before risking him against Wilder.

    then why were they talking about fighting Miller in the US? why was AJ/Klitschko II going to be in Vegas? Sky Sports Box Office is not one of his sponsors, i dont know how you are "100% sure" of something that isnt true

    If Joshua wants it in the UK, then he should've just offered Wilder a fair percentage in the first place. :rolleyes:

    It's fine and dandy to fight Miller in the US, but now when it's Wilder he MUST DO IT FOR HIS FANS IN THE UK. :lol:

    Quack, quack.

    AJ
    Olympic Gold Medalist after a very short Amateur career
    15th pro fight was against the current WBC Nō1
    16th he won the Heavyweight World Title
    17th pro fight was against the current WBC Nō3 & Wilders next mandatory
    18th against 3 x World Title challenger
    19th against the most dominant Heavyweight Champion of the last 10 years
    20th against 2 x World Title challenger
    21st World Title unification against a current World Title holder

    Last 7 fights include 2 x current World Champions, 1 x ATG former World Champion and 4 Top 10 ranked fighters

    In his last 3 fights he’s fought in front of a live audience of over a quarter of a million!
    He’s unified 3 (4) World Title belts less than 5years after his pro debut

    Wilder in 40 fights has fought just one live opponent however, even he is in his late 30s and on heart medication who’s drs wanted him to pull out of the fight on medical grounds just 24 hours before fight time.

    Please, tell me who’s taking on all comers and who’s shamming their way through their career!

    I thought 50,000,000 would sort that out tbf. I honestly think he should fight Wilder in his back garden for that dough if Wilder says so. He is hardly gonna pay that guaranteed and give AJ home advantage GK. Don't forget, people thought the offer was bull its that good, its going to come with its downside of course, but again 50,000,000 guaranteed overrides it all..

    Look at his merchandise when at press confrences go to AJBxing.Com. Sky Sports Box Office is listed as one of his sponsers...If AJ v Miller or AJ v Klitschko took place in the US-Sky would be Legally Obliged to show the fight in the UK

    Is it? Any boxer who saw that Adalaide Byrd score card after Canelo GGG would have some reservations. Also remember that AJ can relatively easily recoup any money he loses from having the fight in his backyard if he becomes undisputed HW champion. He'll probably earn that from commercial deals away from the ring.

    The audacity of Joshua. Wilder’s not the one who has hit fighters countless times after the bell, on the clinch etc.

    Wilder’s not the one who needs a ref jumping in to stop inside fighting at every opportunity in a world title fight.

    Klitschko outboxed the **** out of Joshua and was on his way to being totally jobbed on the cards.

    There’s only one fighter who has benefitted from the “tricks” of referees and judges. And it sure as **** isn’t my G Deontay Wilder.

    If Team Wilder didn't negotiate the 12.5 million then it wouldn't have mattered what the offer was which is why Hearn gave them the 12.5 fee in the first place bc Wilder had demanded 7 million just to fight Whyte when he was offered 4 Million..


    The only fool here is the guy making under 1.5 million a fight on average thinking he can't win bc he stands to make over 30 million so the fact he declined the first offer days a lot.

    Will he get a better deal? Yes but let's not pretend this is on Joshua, it's ultimately up to him where the fight takes place and made it clear over a year now it would be in the U.K.......

    Joshua is world champion he seems to forget that.

    That means you're meant to be ready to defend your title anywhere in the world.

    Only a paper champion needs home advantage in every single fight.

    This guy is the biggest cowardly fraud alongside Canelo in boxing at the moment.

    The ducking tactics are worst than floyd, manny, canelo ggg adonis kovalev and Khan brook stalling tactics.

    I stand corrected on the sponsors, you're right, but it still doesn't change anything. Sky would still show this fight and let it be on in America, his fights have been shown on Showtime and 1 on HBO as well

    That will be the deal breaker. Surely the money side or the ones offering 50 mil will want to pick the venue, pretty stupid of them if they don't you not think...I thought Joshua wouldn't give a flying f where it happened if he was that confident coupled with the mega money.
