    It is both a money grab and also a boxing match between two egomaniacs, each of whom genuinely believes he is currently the best heavyweight boxer in the world, bar none.

    To me it sounds like AJ might be starting to exhibit symptoms of butthurt as Wilder's proposed showdown with Fury has stolen some of the limelight away from his next scheduled bout with Pedvetkin.

    Give me a quote where Hearn says Joshua doesn't want to fight Wilder......


    I've given you one where Finkle claims they don't want Klitschko.

    CST famously predicted Charles Martin to KO Joshua. A prediction that Richard Dwyer over at gamblersadvisory.com would be proud of.

    He's not wrong.

    This fight COULD have been amazing

    Let's say they were having it in August next year.

    Fury schools someone like ustinov in October

    Then in Feb you put him in with someone live like idk andy ruiz or someone and fury wins a great fight there and looks back to his best

    THEN do the fight.

    As it is its just "meh"

    The only people excited for this are

    1. Wilder fans who can't wait to spin this as an ATG win

    2. Fury fans who are buying into hype that he's back near 100%

    He’s not showing ”butthurt” . He did an interview, someone asked him a question and he replied to it.

    Boxers generally don’t randomly just come out with this ****, they get asked a question by a reporter and respond

    I don't need a quote, it's not whether he wanted to fight him or not. The fact is that he didn't fight him and my opinion is that he could have fought him if him and Hearn really wanted to.

    Yeah that can be flipped towards Wilder and his camp just as easily.

    One side sent through a contract the other was asking Frank Warren for some money....

    Totally AJ's fault...

    There's no "damage control"

    Wilder's team pulled off a coup getting this fight but they are still like 10-1 down in the grand scheme of things

    Here's the thing, Wilder asked for the money and he didn't wanna give him his propers so Wilder went to Fury and not only did he get a big name, he is about to generate the type of cash he desires and that is what has Hearn and Joshua butt hurt. They thought that all big cash fights had to go through them. Now they hating on Wilder and Fury. Not because of the fight but because of the money.
