On the basis that the Povetkin deal was clearly already sorted, as was the April date (so to include these as part of a new deal is a bit of fluff), and then strip this back to the hard facts, AJ has signed a three-fight deal with options....
Well if you could have 1 fight make you more than what two fights makes you seems like a no brainer actually why go through two training camps when you can have two
Theyre thinking more long term than that. This is about brand building as much as prize fighting and over the longer term it's going to prove far more lucrative.
Smart man. He made 50 million and he will make another 50 million. By the time AJ retires - if he plays it smart - he will be one of the top 10 best earning HWs of all time.
Why do Wilder fans always make such poor arguments? Joshua turns down the $50 million - Must fight twice to make that money. Wilder turns down the $15 million - Must fight 5/6 times to make that money.
Just heard Hearn saying that his next 5 fights are included. He says that includes Povetkin, Wilder and Whyte/Parker winner........ If they don't want Wilder, they wouldn't be the one bringing his name up. Joshua cannot use Wilder's name, as it holds no value, they clearly want the fight.
No doubt they want the fight. The guy from Alabama with no names on his cv however just talks a good game.
