I have both fights picked opposite, although I like Joshua and would be happy enough if he pulls it off. Wilder is 100% invention and loses to all of the other three and Whyte.
When Wilder v Fury flops on American PPV Wilder and Finkels final argument for 50-50 dies they will go back to Hearn looking for a deal. They already have a venue and a date ready for him if hes willing to sign to face Joshua.
In an ideal situation that's how it would play out but a lot could go wrong with that plan. Fury might pull off the upset or perhaps he out boxes Wilder but doesn't get the decision and a rematch happens. It's not inconceivable that Fury could again shock the world. Povetkin too always has a punchers chance. Joshua himself has said he's looking past Povetkin and in recent interviews I've seen signs that perhaps he isn't as focused as he was once before though that maybe down to him not rating this faded Povetkin. Even if Wilder and Joshua win, no guarantee they can come to terms. What if the Wilder and Fury PPV bombs and so Haymon's plan to make Wilder a proven PPV draw so that he can demand a bigger share of the pot backfires and only reconfirms Wilder as the B-Side, making Hearn only become more entrenched in the idea that Wilder only deserves a flat fee.
They'll still have better leverage even if it flops financially. The winner will have a comparable resume to AJ. So, AJ would still be the financial a side, but he can't be as one sided in contract talks as he was before because the Fury Wilder winner will have as much claim to being the best as him. His fans will start to hold him accountable if he is avoiding by not offering at least 40% to the clear other best hw in the world
to fury and whyte? sorry, gotta say he destroys both bums. maybe after a few rounds of looking inept.
As you like. We are going to see come November, and if Wilder wins, I give him full credit. He won't, though.
40% sounds alot but based on Hearns DAZN offer 15 million sits at around 30%, so he claimed. Either way the current offer for Wilder in April is going to have to be improved on. But Finkel and Wilder are still going to have to accept they are the B side and will have to accept a rematch clause only for Joshua, just like they are doing in the Fury fight. (so i hear). Cant prove anything.
if one of those bums beats him, i will give them credit too. in two to three years wilder, joshua, fury, stc, will all be irrelevant. the next generation is coming.
If Fury v Wilder as a PPV bombs, then Wilder comes to his senses and takes whatever deal he can from Hearn. Flat fee or whatever, it will still be a life changing amount and potentially his one and only mega payday Even the most basic of minds will come to that conclusion a small part of a big pie is better than no damm pie at all !
