    I think AJ v Fury might end up being a huge snooze fest. I'd pay to watch Wilder fight either of them in a heartbeat...but I'd wait to see an AJ/Fury fight on youtube.

    Wilder is the much-needed Wild card imo, someone who brings excitement. AJ isn't quite there, and to be perfectly blunt I just don't think he has the heart to beat either of them.

    No offense to AJ fans.

    Here's a fairytale:

    Fury exits the Wilder trilogy with the WBC belt. Fights someone like Miller early 2021 in his final top rank fight.

    Free agent Fury signs to fight AJ in wembley summer 2021.

    If you're Eddie Hearn you have to send that text. 50/50 deal. Everyone delighted except Tony Hayers.

    It’s a nice idea but it’s not going to be 50/50 because Joshua generates so much more money. I know you hate it but he clearly does.

    Have a listen to your masters most recent IFL interview. He said it'll be 50/50 unless AJ says otherwise and that AJ may live to regret not accepting 50/50. Eddie is ready to cash in the chips after the next two mandatories baby.

    I couldn't give a toss about the split. All I know is if AJ accepts 50/50, we have ourselves a fight. You're the one who gets terribly upset when 50/50 is mentioned.

    Anybody who thinks Fury takes less than 50/50 for Joshua doesn't know the man.

    Also, Fury isn't an idiot.

    Would he really go box on a Matchroom card against Joshua? He's learned his lesson from the first Wilder fight.

    If you don’t care about splits stop talking about them.

    They're relevant to the fights we want to see being made, therefore they're worth mentioning. However, I couldn't care less who gets what. I just want to see these fights.

    I agree they’re relevant. For instance, despite it being a poor fight, I was always interested in Mayweather Pacquaio. For that to happen the guy who generated less money had to accept a deal that meant, whilst earning his highest payday, meant he got less than 50%.

    What point are you making?

    The point I'm making is that you have a meltdown any time a 50/50 split is mentioned. Yet one of the main men in charge of making the fight, Eddie Hearn, has all but confirmed the fight will be a 50/50 split.

    Hardly a meltdown. Just pointing out it doesn’t seem very likely given the earnings of one fighter against another.

    You don't point it out though do you. You harp on about it day after day, repeating the same nonsense, continuously disrespecting top fighters, with no concept that things change. The scene has changed.

    In what way has the scene changed? Tyson’s just had a fight where they couldn’t even give away half the tickets in the venue whilst Joshua is breaking box office records.

    Why are you so hurt and upset by Tyson not being that popular?

    Ha ha I'm not upset at all hun. I love boxing and respect all boxers. It causes me very little discontent, unlike yourself.

    Just keep an eye on the Fury/Wilder 2 figures. You'll be made look a very foolish man. Again.

    Your misery will be compounded when Fury or Wilder get a 50/50 split with AJ.

    If Wilder KO’s Fury then there’s not a chance of a trilogy in the summer.

    I’m torn because I think Joshua vs Fury for the undisputed heavyweight title is the biggest fight this country will ever have BUT from an excitement level the one fight I want to see between all 3 is Joshua Wilder with AJ going back to himself of old and trying to KO him as opposed to outpoint him. Straight shoot out.
