    Personally, I don't really care. I just want to see them fight.

    My guess is that AJ would be the A-side only because, during the DAZN deal, Wilder was wanting to know what AJ was getting. That leads me to think Wilder knew AJ would be getting more (A-side cut) and understandably so.

    Wilder without doubt.

    He's the number 1 in the world, he's unbeaten and he's not been bounced around the ring by Ruiz Jr.

    If you ain't proven in the states than you ain't the A-side especially after getting sparked by a fat out of shape american

    A side and B side is determined by box office, PPV numbers not by titles. GGG had to concede 65% to Canelo for the first fight

    AJ sold more tickets in NYC than Wilder ever has. It's not even close.

    2 corrections. Oscar did not anoint Floyd. Floyd took it and completed his takeover of the game. The best way and opportunity to become the A side of the boxing game is to beat the A side which is what he did to Oscar de La Hoya and Arturro Gatti.

    Some British fighters you mentioned were A side not all. Ricky Hatton was B side to Floyd’s A side. Calzaghe was never the A side.

    AJ is still the A side.

    Which considering his stock dropped a bit with the ruiz loss and that Wilders stock rose after stealing a draw with fury it goes to show how far behind wilder was from Joshua commercially.

    Joshua is still the biggest name and the biggest draw in the division. Fury probably second with wilder third.

    But no doubt Joshua is the A side. Wilder is an unproven bum as of yet.

    LOL we might as well go debate the Flat Earth Theory here because thinking Wilder is the A side is like thinking the Earth is flat.

    Really this is just stupid.

    If AJ insists on more than 50%to make the fight with Wilder he is absolutely deluded.

    AJ is 100% the A-side in all ways that matter for this kind of promotion. He has beaten Klitschko, he has unified, he is a 2-time champion, he brings WAY more buys to events.

    He has more belts, a bigger audience, and bigger name wins on his resume. I don't prefer either as fighters, but this is a no brainer answer. If they fight - Wilder will be watching AJ make his entrance from inside the ring.
