    Both these chumps trying to get rich off his draw
    They deserve 30 percent at best
    They were both offered 40 percent And turned It down
    AJ the KING of HW

    maybe so but BBC just done a piece on him going from HW star to someone looking like he's avoiding.
    I hate the A side thing anyway,why should it concern us,'re them bickering over millions?

    Is that for real? Wtf Gypsy King. But I don't believe that wholly--I'm betting Fury's offer was contingent on signing with Hearn or future bouts or something.

    As for Wilder, it sounds like he'd earn more money in this fight than his last 3 or 4 fights. He ain't getting any younger.

    Not so long ago pretty much everyone was saying he should offer 60/40 would be a great offer and should secure the fights and now he's done it he's still low balling them in some peoples eyes.

    Fact is Joshua is the draw and the one with the majority of the titles and the one actually offering realistic deals for the fight but somehow in some peoples eyes that's not enough. When has the A-side and the unified multi belt champion ever offered 50/50 and fought in his opponents back yard against a clear B-side with either no belt or one belt? Yet we have some people saying if he doesn't do it, it's a duck.

    Problem they'll have is that the public will eventually tire of him fighting people not called Wilder or Fury. The responses to Matchroom and Hearn's tweets to the news of the fight are perhaps the most negative in general response that I've seen, excluding the bots obviously like @David9287923874 "wow great job Eddie, those fools straight hating!" . Is the response going to be any better when he fights Pulev next? Let's say Wilder-Fury II is as good as the first and that Fury wins, his fight with Whyte being mandatory in the UK suddenly becomes pretty big as well. The case for 60-40 is even more dead then and the public pressure will mount.

    Be interesting to see what happens with it all, although I can only assume we'll get the least satisfactory outcome.

    I don't think that Wilder or Fury should bow down to anyone. Having said that, it would be nice to see them reply with realistic counter offers as opposed to the delusional BS grand standing we get from Wilder and his team and ole fish eyes.

    If I here that Fury deserves 50/50 because he's lineal one more time, I'm gonna track down Frank Warren and stitch his mouth up with butchers string.

    I think you're right people will get bored of waiting for the unification fight and switch off eventually and we'll see a dip in his numbers. We saw it with Mayweather/Pac, both their PPV numbers dipped a bit before they fought as people finally thought it would never happen. Though Pac losing may have had something to do with that.

    It's an odd situation right now where all the pressure seems to be on Joshua to make the fight and little pressure on Wilder or Fury to make the fight.

    Might be because Joshua is doing a lot of talking while Wilder and Fury easily made the fight with each and it's looking like they'll have a rematch.

    He's not just talking though he's making them good offers for record paydays with guarantees and a rematch clause. They only need to accept his offer or in Wilder's case actually have his people attend meetings or respond to these offers but he doesn't.

    And yes fights can be easily made when both sides want the fight, but clearly that isn't the case concerning Joshua. Joshua's the one making offers and chasing the fight like fans wanted and now he's the one in some people eyes still not doing enough when Wilder does nothing.

    but thatch what everyone wants, including Joshua and hearn.
    if the fury stock rises where he is pulling in so many views and money then 50/50 is acceptable.
    until then and proven, its 60/40 or less to fury/wilder/whyte and every other fighter.

    haters will continue to hate successful fighters and people. heck i know people that loved AJ but have been brainwashed into thinking he isnt offering fair splits. he is. people just are not educated enough.
