    I don’t get the dislike of him, likewise with Joshua. We’ve got 2 quality heavyweights...hopefully a few more coming through with Whyte, H Fury, Gorman, Dubois etc etc

    If Fury gets KOd then pointless talking about anything further with him and AJ as the next fight will no doubt be Wilder v Joshua April so all the BS now counts for nothing.

    If Fury wins then the same

    Simple

    The 50 million is bull****. So if AJ is getting 50 million then Wilder has to be getting 30 million. Plus the TV companies and the venue need to make money and also the costs and taxes. Essentially the event would have gross well over $100m to break even.

    No chance.

    No, the next fight is Whyte, even if Wilder KOs Fury in one round.

    That was let out the bag longgggg ago.

    Lol lol lol Fury fangirls are always on their period , who's to say whether it's a cash out or not except Fury whose obviously going to claim it's not a cash out , fact remains it's a distinct possibility and quite likely given the fact Fury is a big enough name to have eased his way back into the division and got a title shot after going through 2 or 3 more levels instead of jumping straight in the deep end and being less than 50% as fit as he could be for the biggest fight of his career.

    I really hope that Fury beats Wilder as I believe AJ vs Fury is much more liekly to happen than AJ vs Wilder. However I just can't see Fury in his current state beating Wilder.

    Anthony Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn said on an interview that it was.

    Eddie said he never recieved the contract and that Warren explained in the media the offer included it being shown on BT making the offer totally void.

    Joshua's fan-boys are really getting desparate.
    Joshua was offered the $50m, he tweeted "Let's Roll" and then waddled away. Why would they pay lawyers to draft a contract when he won't fight?
    Warren said Finkel sounded him out as to how much the fight was worth over here. That had zero influence on Joshua walking away.

    Statements from Eddie Hearn, Shelly Finkel and Frank Warren all contradict your opinion.

    Joshua certainly backtracks and contradicts himself.

    Originally he said he would fight for 50 million, and didn't care if it was in America. When he was offered 50 million, it suddenly changed to I am not happy to fight abroad, why should I leave the UK fans etc etc

    And then the comments from Barry Hearn doesn't help his sons arguments. He has said several times in interviews how it would be better if AJ didn't fight Wilder until 2020, and it would be silly to do it beforehand.

    They want AJ to get more experience, and they want Wilder to hit 35 so he slows down a bit, then they will offer him decent terms in 2020.

    Barry Hearn said on BBC5live he had a 7 year plan for Joshua and didn't care if he didn't fight Wilder for 10 years.

    They wouldnt send match room the contract when unless Eddie agreed to fight without seeing the details (which we later find out was void). Of course it was media stunt by Wilders team, I dont how anyone else can come to any other conclusion.

    Jesus Christ. Eddie Hearn confirmed back in June the offer was legit, Stephen Espinoza of Showtime confirmed the money was their, Hearn recieved assurances from Al Haymon i remember him saying on a Hour long IFL Interview.

    Joshua also said “let’s roll”. Hearns turned it down and brainwashed Joshua into making one of the worst decisons of his career. Matchroom would have been cut out.

    I am not going to lie their are parts of the deal which i find dodgy. Who is the investor which is putting the money up ? If Joshua gets $50M what is Wilder getting as a gurantee ?

    What happenes if the PPV Flopped ?
    However once the man himself, Eddie Hearn confirmed he recieved legitimacy for this deal, it tells their were some serious players behind this fight and it was legit.
