Anthony Joshua bottled it

Give over

He messed Uysk around for ages until the money was just too good to say no

 

Exactly my point. If the money is there, he'll fight.

 

Big money was always there
It got to the point where he kinda had to due to public perception

I don't think he wanted to deep down

When has AJ ever carried on like that?

Yet you think if it don't happen it's down to him
Your giving Fury too much credit

 

AJ is fighting the likes of Jake Paul for money. Let's not pretend he cares about money any less than Fury does.

 

Who said he doesn't?

That's nothing to do with this
Every boxer likes money

But look how quick that deal was made

AJ isn't difficult to deal with
He didn't mess Paul around in negotiations
Just got on with it

 

Proved wrong? Na the fact a contract has allegedly been sent means I was correct, a fight is agreed on paper not the mic!! It needs to be on paper. Tell me a single fight in the last 30 years of boxing that was done with no contract and it not on words.

If you think the guys loudest on the mic is the one controlling the situation or leading the dance then your incredibly naive when it comes to this sport!

AJ may well get knocked out in his next fight, you seem to think that would bother me, plenty of fighters out there capable of sparking AJ. Your just a hater and seem to think I'm a fanboy.

Your coming across very naive and immature in regards to how this sport works

 

I'd argue 99.9 of boxers wouldn't box if they didn't get paid.

Every fighter cares about money every single last one

 

Sometimes I wish there was a dislike button on this forum..

 

Like the sport is literally taking punches to the head at its most basic level, the vast majority have never even been in a legit fight because they are so dangerous and quite frankly stupid

 

All that proves is AJ is quick to sign fights with non-boxers. How often did AJ muck around trying to get 60/40 for both Fury and Wilder prior to this point?

You said Fury was unreliable, I pointed out he wasn't for the right money.

 

Not really the point though is it?

 

How do you have the gall to call me naive when getting in the ring for a call out has been a part of boxing since before you were born? Hearn is on record in an interview confirming AJ was told this in advance, and it's part and parcel of your biggest rival sitting ring side.

The guys controlling the situation is Fury and Turki because they're the ones bringing the money to the table, not the guy who last three fights were 2-0 against non-boxers and a ko loss to Dubios.

You then try and claim it was meaningless and only words when a contract was issued shortly after. The challenge was serious, and AJ looked like a muppet trying to act hard instead

 

Anyway I'm leaving it here. My view is that AJ just looked cringe because he didn't have a script, tried to improvise and it backfired.

We'll see if he actually signs the deal.

 

It's a forum. You could always grow a set and contribute, or unfollow the thread.

 

Wilder wasn't worth 50 per cent when that went on
That was business and at the time of negotiation fair
Wilder didn't sign the the DAZN deal because Rain Man Shelly whispered in his ear they didn't know what AJ was getting
AJ had actually signed his part with no bother about what Wilder was getting at this point

You haven't proved anything about Fury as I firmly believe he has very little choice as the time
He simply had to face Uysk

You can say that AJ is quick to sign contracts with non boxers but other than the non deserving Wilder, who else has he been an issue with?
Absolutely nobody
